Now that I compare the original (posted by Robert and on tgp) to some of the fakes here, what stands out is that the fakes have brand name at the bottom edge of the pcb. The OPs has a serial number (or something) there. But the originals are all blank there. Starting to be more suspicious.

agree it looks real. what evidence did the buyer give (if any)?

I don't know which ones are good, but I built a bass player a Orange Squeezer and they didn't like that one. I forget why, but it's a simple one knobber and probably not tweakable to get the sound they wanted.

So who's going to start using varna sankars when you need an insult?

On my secret preamp, i was able to set the voltage at 11.

Non-DIY for a simple pedal, I can't believe you even suggested this :p

Yes, and either (just make sure it's not a super-bright--the red 5mms at tayda are, so I'd probably use 3mm)

If your artist is ok with digital delays, then a pt2399 based delay is an easy choice. Of the pedalpcb offerings, I've tried Magnetron and Cataclysm. While I slightly liked the tone of the Cataclysm better, if modulation is a must-have then Magnetron is a no brainer. Does this person like...

I'd keep it in. I don't think it hurts, and if you do come across a lm308 then you can drop it in. Hard to tell from your picture, but it looks like your opamp might be upside down. Hard to see any markings on the opamp from the photo, but I think can see the small dot on the outer side of...

I'm not surprised you like these two, as IIRC the lagrange is very similar to the box of rock--it's like they started with that circuit then added a bunch of bells and whistles. Curious if they sound alike?--sometimes enough mods and even though the circuit started from the same place, can end...

Also, pictures of the tele would help... not in solving the problem but just in spreading cheer.

It sounds like a good excuse to get new pickups. Any idea what you got in there? >9K for a neck seems pretty rare for teles unless its a stacked humbucker.

I always thought this pedal sounded great with gain low, but kind of woofy/farty with the gain up. I had thought that maybe it was an issue with my pedal, but then after watching some high profile you-tubers demo the pedal, I concluded it actually sounds that way. My point is check if it's...

Although I prefer MLCC when I have them, I see less selection of values than ceramic discs (at least at Tayda where I do most of my shopping), so still end up using quite a few ceramic disc capaciters. I tend to not worry about tolerances for several reasons: pedals aren't high precision...

If this is true, I feel pretty good about getting my order in--I was sitting on that order since november, and these threads about tarriffs finally got me nervous enough to act on it. I thought we no longer have a beef with every country, but who knows, it seems to be a fluid situation.

Another confirmation of order received with no tarriff (well under de minimis).

what is the difference between a pen style iron and your weller? maybe I don't know what pen style means-

Are you about to purchase a 25W solder? If you are, I'd recommend spending a bit more to get a soldering station. There's at least one other thread here full of iron recommendations, with the Hakkos and Wellers being well respected. Their irons are usually around 65-70W and you'll have a much...

are those really 1590xx? they look like the xx width, but a shorter height. Looks like a bit more compact, which is nice for a dual pedal.
