Thank you!

Board waiting here to be populated (other projects in line first). I'm just curious to see if there's a way to tweak the boost section for a full-range boost instead of just treble. (Some of us just want a straight-up gain boost, not wanting to sound just like Brian May).

Interested as well. As much as I like gainy hard rock pedals, some Plexi midrangey 'bark' can be addictive. FWIW, the PAL800 (according to the schematic in the '800' doc) appears to be a lightly tweaked version of the JCM800 JFET circuit created by Electrictabs in the DIY community. Looks...

I only have two circuits that I'd use them in (Ibanez FL99 workalike and Boss HF-2), but yeah, would like to have a few on hand.

Kinda excited about this. The MT-2 was my first dirt pedal back in ‘94. Used that for a couple of years and it was a lot of fun. Don’t NEED one now, but would consider building one for nostalgia’s sake and because I’d probably have a little better control over it, or take a different approach...

Got two raw/unfinished wah enclosure kits over the weekend; one for a Vox build, and one that will be used for a volume pedal. So, I need to know of a decent circuit to use for volume: it can be DIY PCB, fabbed PCB or vero. I saw the one at Tonepad (Anderton retrofit), but that sounds like it...

Got a PCB pretty much done for a Vox (Clyde McCoy?) Wah, but curious about which inductor to use. I have a yellow Fasel in there now and waiting for the wah enclosure to be delivered. Just want to know if there is a proper inductor to use (although I’m not sweating over ‘vintage correct’), or if...

For those folks that etch PCBs, do you iron on (PnP Blue), then etch the board with multiple layouts, then cut the individual layouts out, or do you cut the layout pieces,THEN etch them separately? Just curious I’ve been doing a single board at a time (with 3 or more layouts ironed on) for as...

Confirmed, you are correct: it is a 47K + 470p combination in parallel replacing that 2.2K resistor. I'll build out the PedalPCB Complex board and test drive that before tweaking the Thermion Deluxe.

Yeah, I thought that should be in parallel as well, but still appears to be in series. I’ll triple check it tomorrow night or this weekend. I could map out a trace in Adobe Illustrator this weekend to be sure on everything, but I probably should just wait for the schematic. I’ll leave the 100KC...

I'd settle for the Complex OD drill template at this point. :cool:

Thx! Ok, going by the Channel B (Dirty Sanchez side) of the Thermionic Deluxe, found these differences: R25B (4K7) + TIGHTB (100KC) - replace with 22K (or just leave in place and dial that combo down to 22K?) C8B (120p) - replace with 220p TRIMB (100K) - replace with 27K (or leave trimpot and...

Got my boards today, and spent some time tracing out the board compared to the Dirty Sanchez schematic. I found (what I think are) the differences to convert a DS to the Complex - @PedalPCB mind if I post my findings, or is that a no-no?

No, from what I gather the Thermionic is higher than the Brown Betty/Dirty Sanchez and the Complex. Not that that's a bad thing. It's sounding like the Complex/Smallbox OD is hitting a sweet(er) spot for the hot-rodded Marshall sound.

Man, you’re making it worse! :LOL: I’m hoping this will be ‘the one’, as the production version has gotten (almost) unanimous rave reviews. I have a Brown Betty and Thermionic Deluxe almost ready to box up; if the incoming Complex boards are all-that-and-a-bag-of-chips after I build them, I...

Putting the cart before the horse a bit here because my boards aren't even here yet (but should be within a day or so), but is the architecture THAT different for Complex OD? Asking because it would be pretty incredible to modify the Thermionic Deluxe to be a Thermionic/Complex. Thx! - Buck

Interested as well - no pressing need for it at the moment, but curious if it's possible. One of the few things I like about the Boss MT-2 is that dual-mid control.

Got it - thx!

Thx, but I'm looking for a Gauss with mid control. Is that not possible?
