I might try the resistor change I mentioned above. I haven’t seen anyone else mention doing a side-by-side comparison of the pedals. I really wouldn’t have given the issue a ton of thought without doing a comparison — I would have just thought the original pedal sounded that way. I would like to...

One thing that is also worth mentioning is that with all tone and gain knobs at, say, noon, my pedal’s volume knob needs to be turned up to 50% to match the 25% position of the original in volume. I don’t know what that means, but part tolerances seem like they would have to be really out of whack.

I found this post on freestompboxes, where one guy describes his build as sounding “shockingly dark”, which is what I’m experiencing: “For anyone that finds this pedal dark, I would recommend looking at the output resistive voltage divider. I found my build shockingly dark. From Bajaman's...

See my reply above about using the Power Amp Out. The issue is, though, I’m using the two pedals side by side: the clone and the original. They are both going off of 12 V and both using the front of amp output. Mine is substantially darker, and I suck at hearing differences. So my thoughts are...

I only wired up the one because I didn’t have plans to use the pedal into the power amp (and there’s literally no space for it). I thought about moving those connections over on the PCB, having read what you just said in this thread, turning my one output into the other kind. But since I have...

Rats. I was trying to isolate why mine is so bassy and was hoping that I could isolate the cause that way. Is there a single capacitor I could try a new value with?

Both pedals are being run at 12 V from the same power supply, which has two 12 V isolate outputs. I plan on returning the original pedal, which I bought just for comparison, so unfortunately I can’t take it apart and start checking component values. But I usually have a terrible ear for hearing...

One thing I’ve noticed is just how much more potent the bass knob on my clone is. If I match volumes and gains between the two pedals and turn every other knob to zero except for the bass knobs, which I max out, my pedal is much more boomy than the original. What might cause that?

I built the Valhalla, which is a Diezel VH4 clone. I didn't want a large pedal, especially compared to the comically large original, so I fit it inside of a 125B enclosure. Getting around the notorious squeal from this PCB was a hassle, but I managed it. Anyway, I got a hold of an original VH4...
