Sounds like I should have a go at socketing C4 to try some different values. I do wonder what two resistors John K replaced, though.

Thank you for the response! What would you change C4 and R6 to? Over on PCB Effects layouts, the suggestion is to change C4 to "anything from 1 to 10uF"

Has anyone done this? It sounds "fine" but has some low end loss that could be fixed. JohnK over on talkbass said that it's just 2 caps and a resistor... but that's an old thread and he may not respond to a query on what caps to change. Any thoughts? Is it just C1 and C6?

thanks!

Just built a son of ben and it sounds very good. I did notice that when the drive is all the way down, it cuts the volume. Is that normal? Also, I adjusted Q1 to 5.1 V / and Q 2 and 3 adjusted to 4 V each.

Actually, SmallBear has a 125BB that may be what I'm looking for: http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/125-bb/ And with a chrome powder coat: http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/chrome-powder-coat-multiple-sizes/

I saw some build reports with that... I'd rather not put it off board to make the build more rock solid.

Thanks! One question... the Simulcast needs to be in a taller box, right? IT won't into a BB with the transformer. Is that right? Just trying to plan this out. It's for bass playing.

Just emailed with Steve at Smallbear and he said that they have an equivalent to the transformer for the simulcast: http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/transformer-1-1-for-direct-boxes/

Has anyone put these two circuits in the same box? Are they too similar for it to make sense? Or are they different and complimentary enough?

Awesome... I'll put in an order soon.

Does anyone have an extra Son of Ben board... out at the store and looking for one for a build. Pop'd or not... doesn't matter.
