Thanks guys. I actually got the bright idea to try and hunt down my Newark order from 5yrs ago - lo & behold, it was there. This is what I picked up way back then: https://www.newark.com/kemo-electronic/e005/pcb-strip-epoxy-fiberglass/dp/71Y9061 I ordered a few yesterday - these are good...

For those folks using Vero/stripboard these days, where are you sourcing yours? I got some good, semi-transparent (greenish-yellow?) stuff years ago, but can't remember where. Maybe Newark?

Where are you guys finding (legit) TA7136AP chips? I got some (apparent fakes) from Retroamplis a few years back.

I'm to the point that I only order from SC/SB now if I have to: either A) they carry something that no one else does, or B) what I need is out of stock everywhere else. I think I've had one issue where the wrong part was ordered, but they resolved it. They are lousy with communication, meaning...

I've seen more than one of the Galileo Mk IIs around, but not the Mk I. I bought one out of the special runs one of the members of Diystompboxes did YEARS ago; that one got hosed during a rebulld, and I'd like to find a viable replacement (other than going stripboard).

Ok, so you got the PRIMER on it. When are you gonna FINISH it?

Per the schematic above, has anyone ever increased the value of C10 (across pins 5 & 7 on the MN3101) to add more depth? This is apparently a popular mod for the (analog) CE-5, so in theory, the same could apply here. I've always heard that the CH-1 sounds amazing, but is more subtle than...

Have to resurrect this one as I built a Dover last week (Perf & Effects Layouts version) and was disappointed at the noise/mess when the gain was turned up. After reading this ^^ post last night, I pulled the 100nF cap and BOOM! Yep, it made a HUGE difference in the usability of the pedal. I'm...

Been using Illustrator for PCB layout design/copying/tweaking for over 20yrs now. Turn on the grid in the background, and set it as follows: Gridline every: 1in Subdivisions: 10 That's the same (pad per hole) spacing as typical vero or perfboard. Line up or scale your parts (or image)...

How close does this get to the original? I'm itching to build an MT-2, but would don't really want to take up 1590BB real estate for one.

How different is the overall sound using gain toggle vs just turning down the gain in the stock circuit?

They do. I'll try this, jumpering the ground lugs by hand and see if that's any different. Starting to think it may be the guitar; not touching anything on the guitar is when the hum is more apparent.

When I built my Dr. Boogey YEARS ago, I replaced the 1M gain pot with 500KA. Also, if you're using all J201s, try using all 2N5457s. Maybe use MPF102s for Q1 and maybe Q2. I rarely use J201s anymore since they seem to have more output/gain than the other JFETs I mentioned. I'm not trying to...

Sorry, I haven't checked over on FSB, but was just curious: does the stock Friedman Smallbox OD use the same BAV99 diodes for clipping that the BE and DS ODs use?

Any ETA on the SynchroWah and SynchroTrem? Those are the only ones on my list at this point.

Troubleshooting a little buzz when I'm playing - this is on the Complex OD and Lead Solder OD, but the question is in general - noticed something with the grounding, and I'm wondering if there is some redundancy going on. If so, it could be a culprit for extra noise due to a ground loop? I know...

Damn - that's hot. I decided to make it easy on myself and went with the PPCB faceplate - should be here today.

Wampler ID'd some mod option years ago, including more bass, but I can't find the link. It was an old video.

Gorgeous build! How'd you do the white lettering? It kinda looks like a label/piece of thin plastic, but can't tell.

Closest thing I can think of is the MI Audio Tube Zone. PPCB has a board here, with 7 knobs. Second closest would MAYBE be the Boogeyman (from the guy who designed the Dr Boogey); it's a Mesa Mark II-inspired circuit.
