Right, after wima'ing my original greer lightspeed last night, I had this brainfart. 'Why do I like this pedal so much?' And why do I like that one, and those ones. Then it hit me.. could it be related to frequencies? In other words, could these pedals be close to each other in frequency range...

This could work in a Big Muff circuit then.

Sometimes, I've seen epoxy, latex/rubbery stuff, transparent hot glue. My greer Lightspeed and Southland had the components painted black then hot glued over. A lovepedal I once owned had rubbery black stuff on it which reminded me of that stuff they waterproof a roof/shingles with. Tectile it's...

We've all been there. And that feeling.. when you just put heart/soul/elbowgrease in building a pedal then finding out when testing it: nothing.. Aaaarghh!! ?

Thnx everyone! Indeed i experienced only benefits from building on pcb. Cuts building time in half opposed to vero. And well-designed they are! Thnx again and a shout-out to mr. PCB himself!

Well.. it happened! As much as I like vero/perfboard, I am now switching to pcb. Here my first PPCB build, a Pyrocumulus. Love this thing, I never owned a Muff style pedal and thought this might be a good option. Didn't disappoint! Yes, "au naturel" aluminium box, I'm not as creative as some of...

Something from the south?

Yes! That's correct ??

That would be excellent!

Almost, measuring gives me the following:

The "hidden" resistor is the 12k. The one right next to the bat41's is a 22k... that might be the alternative for the one missing 4.7k!

Correct. The cap you circled red is the 10nf.

And the Lightspeed: You see the 2 extra spots for the bat41 on the lightspeed pcb. I put sockets in just for experimenting with diodes types and configuration.

All resistors remain as in the lightspeed, i have some pics of both pedals though only component side. Never thought of taking pictures of the back.. doh.. A piece of doublesided grey tape is on the bottom to protect from shorting and fix the pcb to the pots. The southland is a "first batch"...

Haven't traced it yet, just visual identifying on my part. But it seems to be a pair of asymmetric bat41's in the 430k, 3.9k resitor and 220nf cap loop. If that makes any sense..

I have both original pedals, LS & SL and degooped them both. The SL is literally build on the LS pcb. Differences are: LS: a100 vol, a10k tone, a500k gain pots, 5 1n914 diodes and a opa2134 ic SL: a 250k vol, a10k tone, a1meg gain, 5 1n914 plus 2 extra Bat41's diodes in the loop and a tl072...
