Hi all! Not posted in a while so thought I would share this one... It's a BB Preamp, I recently bought a Diezel VH-2 amp and wanted something to hit the front end with. Seen lots of rave reviews and great demos of this pedal so thought I would try it on for size. It only took me a few minutes...

Haha mental, I love it! Great selection and all 3 at once is pure evil! Awesomely clean build as well dude, top job!

I used 2N5088s which were all around 350-370 so I would expect would explain the difference in gain, but with this janky circuit who knows?! Yeah I found the same with the tone pot, not exactly refined is it! :LOL:

FWIW when I did my build of the V1 Fuzz War on the PCB Guitar Mania board, I found the transistors needed to be quite closely matched and in the range of around 350-370hFE. Unmatched sets didn't sound right, and higher gain sets (500 and above) just didn't work at all. I've done two builds using...

Pardon my French but I mean holy f*ckin sh*t dude, that is one impressive piece of work! My brain can't quite take it all in! Truly amazing!

Thanks! :) Practice makes perfect man, keep at it!

Here's a quick sound clip for anyone that's curious!

Thanks! :)

Glad you dig it, cheers man!

Thanks! (y)

Thanks man! Refinement through repetition and a healthy dash of OCD has worked for me with plenty of failures along the way haha! I wouldn't worry too much, the robots can do all the fiddly stuff once we ripen!

Thanks! :) It's definitely cool, wasn't quite sure what I was going to end up with sound-wise but really enjoying it so far, great for epic washes of swirling ambience!

Happy New Year to all! First completed build of 2021! Had this one in the queue for a while so pleased to get it done and really happy with it after just a 5min quick test run, great sounding ambient swirls and tails, really unique! I was slightly worried it would be similar to my TC Electronic...

I'd love to build one of these

Thanks Chas, ah yes it's all there and black and white isn't it! I've never been the best at just reading the instructions! ?

I reflowed all the pot joints last night, there were some dodgy looking ones tbh and it does seem to have helped, I tightened the nut on the offending pot and the problem has gone! Thanks Chuck! Also random side question; I've just bought a Hakko FX 888 soldering station and it's great but it...

Cheers Barry!

Thanks, yeah it’s a combo of three colours which I did my best to fade together

Cheers! :)

Yeah you're absolutely right, I wasn't really satisfied that it was truly 'fixed' but it's been fine so far ?. I will have a look at reflowing those joints as would certainly fit the problem, thanks for the tip!
