Some days things work, some days they just don't. I am working a klone build, I finished it this morning and it worked great for about 15 minutes, then there was a quick fade in volume/gain and I've traced it back to the dual pot. Testing with my multi-meter, on the upper set of pins - instead...

I can't figure out what's going on and not sure what to check? I'm getting a bypassed signal, footswitch is activating the LED's, both LED's are working, the rate LED reacts to the rate pot, but I'm not getting any chorus effect? The only thing that I can do to the pedal to have it make any kind...

Thanks - it's fake, I kill all my real plants.

Thank you! Couldn't be happier with it, check out the front! Behold the "Kelly Kate Anna" (get it?)

Just an update - I added the resistors, and it's working perfectly. Thanks for your help!

Exactly what I was looking for - thanks!

Thank you - would this be the top row or bottom row or the switch? (Up position engages the additional boost)

I built a clone from aionFX Muramasa board, but I get a slight pop when I engage the boost. Does this need some kind of pull-down resistor somewhere? Here are the build docs with schematic: https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/muramasa_documentation.pdf Thank you!

Thank you! Not sure why layers didn't show up on the new illustrator, I checked it with Affinity, Inkscape, and Adobe reader. Oh well, thanks for your help!

Correct I'll be printing them on white. Thanks for the note on the gloss layer. I wasn't quite sure how it works but that makes sense to just make circles for them. Question - when I'm printing on something other than white, does the order of the layers matter? Or will they always print...

I'm trying to make a small run of Katana clones and want to make sure I did this right. My first attempt wasn't great - I messed up the layers/vectoring of the text. I have a PDF that I made in Affinity and an Inkscape file, not sure how to upload the svg/inkscape file.

Push cloth wire, you see it a lot in pickups/pick guards. Don't have to strip the ends, just push the cloth back.

Thanks guys! Happy with it for my first time using a strip board and first time modding a pedal.

Alright so I modded the pedal and added a symmetric clipping section and asymmetric clipping section on a toggle switch and now this pedal has come alive. Symmetric clipping with the LED's just smooths out those fizzy decays, and then the asymmetric clipping with the zener diodes gives a nice...

Alrighty I made a switchable op-amp/symmetric/asymmetric clipping selector with some strip board and bus wire. I went through a bunch of different types of diodes and found that the symmetric LED's have me the closest to the natural pedal sound - while smoothing off the decay of the notes, and...

Gotcha - yea it's stupid loud already, I'll play around with some different diodes then, thanks!

Thank you! I'm going to give it a shot without a PCB, hopefully I can get it to work haha. I was thinking I had to cut off both sides of the diodes from the circuit, but forgot that cutting off just one side means there is no current (duh) so yes definitely can do it with an SPDT on-off-on. So...

Yep that's the plan!

Thank you! I was going to play around with different diodes I've got a bunch from different builds. This may be a dumb question but are there different diodes that are better for different kinds of clipping? Pretty much everything I've seen so far uses either germanium or Schottky, what about...

I want to implement a switch to allow for a couple extra clipping options in the feedback loop. I'm not a fan of the stock op-amp clipping. Can someone take a look at what I've drawn up here and give me a sanity check - does it make sense? Is there another way to do this that you would...
