Nope! Not me. I haven’t recorded any video demos yet. Probably should though. 🤪

Yeah, I built one of those. It’s a standard overdrive and quite a bit different from the ODB-3.

Alright, so I got an official ODB-3 and compared it to the N.E.W. Bass Overdrive I built. Seems my build is a little mellow and lacking some drive. With the ODB-3 set at 50% Gain, it has more drive than the N.E.W. one. Plus, the N.E.W. pedal seems to be more mellow than the ODB-3. I have a...

Yeah, I chose to use on-off-on for my toggles, specifically for the Mids and Clipping switches. Looking at the schematic, the middle position will allow for no clipping and no added mids (just C16 and C18 only). Bypass still needs to be an on-on switch though.

Yep, R37 is the CLR resistor. I didn't add a resistor to my LED.

Actually, I didn't. But, now that you mentioned it, I went ahead and ordered one to compare it to. :D

No prob, man. Lemme break open the enclosure and take a better pic so I can show you where all the wires go. :D

I would love an option for buying a blank PCB and enclosure. That would be awesome for us pedal builders. :D

I noticed that pretty much all my builds had that problem. Seemed to be more pronounced with the heavier switches. This is good suggestion, especially after updating them to use lighter weight switches. Might even make the pop virtually inaudible. Granted, a noise gate does fix the problem. No...

For my builds, I used switches with no more than a 35oz touch. Stiffer switches make the pop way more pronounced. I couldn’t fully get rid of it though.

That's close enough. Really doesn't even have to be the exact same font. This one does match the original quite well though.

Hmm...lemme look at it. I'm usually pretty good with typography. :)

Thanks for the explanation! I'll just go with whatever the highest I have and go from there. :)

Ok, so what if you have a good dozen J201's and none of them reach the spec needed? All the ones I have don't reach a VGS of 1.0v. Highest I get is around 0.75v with an RDS that's still short of 700. I would assume that you would use the one that has the highest VGS and then use the bias...

You're right, I should have led with that. There's some missing context in what I said... I emailed Michael previously about this some months ago when he was having a health issue that caused delays. Definitely wish him the best then and I still do now. And, just like before, I extended an...

I just had a brief email exchange with Michael. I pitched the idea of possibly helping him process orders. He seemed fairly responsive to the idea. Anyone interested in investing in PedalHacker? I'd go in on it and/or run it....but I might need a little capital to make it happen (depending on...

Ok, I'll give the alcohol bath method a shot. But if I "bust a cap" I know who to blame. ;P (totally kidding of course)

For me, the best defense for cleaning a PCB starts with the flux used. I found no-clean flux like this to work really well: Chip Quik CQ4300-2OZ No-Clean... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093X9F9RN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I typically use some good plastic bristle brushes and good iso to clean...

Really like this one as well. I ordered a real one and compared it to the one I built. Sounds identical. Works great as a preamp. I ran it into my HX Stomp and added just a cab emulator and it really sounds great.

Yep, should be those two. :)
