    Your best/favorite high gain pedal combo's of today

    The last three - maybe the ones that came out since you last saw them? - are all excellent. Quite different from the early stuff, Double Negative is a fave.

    Favorite/best ICs for Thermionic/DirtySanchez/Complex ODs?

    In the Brown Betty, I think if you were going to notice any difference at all between ICs, it *might* be in IC3? That's the one that controls the mid and bass EQ and isn't being clipped to heck by the diodes. You'd almost certainly get way more noticeable results by tweaking the r/c values in...

    Nobelium - tube bass preamp project

    @Mentaltossflycoon I use one of these to power two voodoolabs:

    Chop Shop Calibration 12/15/22

    I believe the spec is ~6V.

    LND150 SHO variant (LND 'HO)

    Hopefully that works? Maybe not the most useful loop, but it should give you an idea of the range of settings.

    LND150 SHO variant (LND 'HO)

    Also, tried to chase down the switch pop with some extra RC combos on the 3PDTs and it didn't improve the situation at all. Disconnected the LEDs and it went away. 😔

    LND150 SHO variant (LND 'HO)

    Decided the EQ was a bit too scooped at 12:00 bass and 12:00 treble, so I swapped out the two 4n7 caps in the tone stack for 1n5 which flattened it out. the bit of extra low mids are helpful, it all sounded a bit too spiky without them. I usually cut a fair bit at 225hz whenever I'm mixing...

    LND150 SHO variant (LND 'HO)

    Finally got this boxed up and working properly. 7 knobs really is way too many knobs for a stripboard project, especially trying to cram it into a 1590B. I noticed a few mistakes on the schem and layout along the way so had to make a few quick corrections on the fly to make it work, thankfully...

    J201 Buffer. Do I need to bias?

    You might want to socket the FET and try a few different options out. If the source voltage is low (below 1V) you might notice some distortion with higher output pickups. I think "ideally" you want source voltage to be around 1/2 supply, but given that it's feeding a distortion pedal you might...

    Your best/favorite high gain pedal combo's of today

    Fun Fact™ in addition to being pretty good at the chug chug, it's also featured prominently on the last Low record, Hey What.

    The zvex box of metal sounds fantastic imo, and the gate function is extremely useful. Worth checking out, though I’m not aware of any DIY PCBs out there that include the gate.

    LND150 SHO variant (LND 'HO)

    Made a few tweaks to that schematic, there's a cap and a resistor in there that are probably redundant but aren't hurting anything I guess. Here's some vero if you want to give it a go: [EDIT: Updated vero below] It's pretty straightforward, a SHO variant going into a an overdrive loosely...

    SOLVED Chop shop popping when activated + squealing even in bypass

    What is the pedal plugged into? Popping can often be caused by DC leaking out of the input of an amp.

    1590BB top mount jacks

    Lovely - thank you! You used the drill template in the build docs for those?

    1590BB top mount jacks

    Hi folks, Just wondering if someone here could point me toward a PPCB project that you've made featuring a 1590BB enclosure, top mount jacks, and (here's the important thing) clearance in the drill template for plastic enclosed jacks to clear the pots. I have a 1590BB leftover from before...

    My first build. Low tide. Made a mistake. Is this redeemable?

    Wait, do you have 2 J201s attached? It looks like you have an SMD-type soldered on and then also a through-hole J201 in the sockets? If so, take the one out of the socket - those pads are an either/or not a both.

    My first build. Low tide. Made a mistake. Is this redeemable?

    If you set the mix to 100% dry and level to 100% clockwise (CW) is the signal the same on legs 1 and 2 of the mix pot and legs 2 and 3 of the level pot? Is it the same as what you're hearing on either side of R6 or on C2?

    My first build. Low tide. Made a mistake. Is this redeemable?

    The build doc is here: https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/LowTide-PedalPCB.pdf You'll need to use the diagram at the front with the component numbers as a reference. For example, check both sides of C1 and both sides of C2 with the audio probe. Everything good so far? If so, cool! If not, you...
