Ok I’m sorry I get very confused whenever a pedal has this issue I built a supa fuzz one time that is a 9v center negative. But if I plug other pedals in around it the power supply cuts out. And it worked fine on it’s own… I’ve read about it a few times but it never seems to stick in my brain...

I bought this wren and cuff your face off eBay a long time ago… it says it was from an estate sale… I hate when people say that in a listing anyways I gots it pretty cheap.. it would need a voltage inverter to work I think the transistors are GS109 PNP?Any thoughts on how to wire a voltage...

Can you make a similar pcb for everyone to enjoy based off of the 2204 or a jcm900 would be great also with those clipping and selective cap values would be sweet.

I’m glad I found this post. I’m going to try this… the reason why I was going to post about doing something similar … I’ve never heard of the higher power pedal but I wanted a one switch jobber and possibly more gain options. The first time I built this pedal I put two 3M3 next to each other...

What’s the part number for the in and out and exp jacks on this build. I never use that style. I have seen them come in switched and I switched that gets confusing thats why I never bought that style jacks

I have made a bunch of these as well it hammers riffs like a jack hammer! It’s my favorite drive pedal. Definitely not a one trick pony it does rock and roll just fine. How did you do that enclosure it’s nice? What amp are you running it to… your clean tone sounds odd. And what guitar and...

I figured it just feels like more lower volume than normal maybe because there’s two sets of switches it’s twice as low… thanks for clarifying this for me Robert. I figured it’s normal just had to make sure I socketed One side of the GE DIODES so I may try a other set or put another set of si in...

I was just making sure i used two SPDT ON/OFF/ON was that what this schematic calls for? I know germanium diodes when used will have a little volume drop but when I have the switch all the way down on either side there’s a really big volume drop.. I was just wondering if that’s normal?

No problem I have a ton of other builds to do… I need to stop buying pcbs and try to do some prototypes projects… plus the acrobat isn’t a simple pedal to figure out what part numbers to use… I don’t really know anything about those input and output jacks I see some are labeled switch and non...

Yes sir the Acrobat. And I don’t know or think it will fit a 1590xx .

I’m just want to know the part numbers on the in and output exp jacks and the 9v and what rotary switch to use… and if there’s anything else…

I noticed that mpsa18 didn’t have the unique sound that the pedal should have. So I swapped back to the 2n6428.

I notice I mixed up R37 and R38. It the front page is bad I just followed what was on the board .. this probably isn’t my problem if this even is a problem

I may socket r4 though my gain sounded ok . The pedal didn’t have its uniqueness with the MPSA 18s. I used 2n6428 and it sounded much better .

Also I noticed the high frequency switch only seems to work when the high pass switch is in the up position. Is this normal to that high frequency which only works when the pedal is in high pass.? I will check all the R resistors I sometimes mistake them K.. if this isn’t normal.

I guess it’s the PRE knob is a pre volume knob.. I do have the correct pots in the correct places.

Yeah was thinking maybe I used the wrong pot but I don’t think I did …butt basically if the knob was numbered the preamp knob it would cut out around 7-10 .. I’m not a person who likes to peg all the knobs I was wondering if anyone else who has built this pedal if they have the same issue. My...

Hello I just put together the pastel preamp and it sounds great but if the preamp knob is turned past 80 percent the pedal cuts out almost sounds like it goes out of bias and loses sound … I’m using 2n6428 from mouser and a j201 from guitarpcb. My question is this normal? Other than that the...

Those transistors are cool I’ve never seen markings on the top of to-92 transistors.

It would be great if someone would just draw a diagram for the visual learning people. Makes it so much easier to follow.
