looks great!! this is on my build list for personal use (low tide is the other one I pine for). the red caps are sick.

I've been hoping for a volture build!! this is awesome, well done.

after building 41 different pedals, this one is still my favorite. let us know how it sounds!

exactly the info i needed! thank you so much!

i have a TS->triad fuzz combo that i almost have finished. my goal was the durham crazy horse heavy overdrive with a bias/sag knob. great info in this thread!

took me over an hour on the captain bit, then maybe 20 min on the octaclave. i think i used half a little roll of desoldering braid. that day i learned about the primary side of transformers! both pedals work great so i can't complain!

stunning art. what's your setup for engraving? i have a couple 3D printers and i really want to expand my capabilities, either lasers or CNC or both.

i socket everything but i'm learning fuzzes require a lot more attention to components than i generally enjoy. once i finish the FV1 dev board i think that's more my speed...

awesome build, i love the graphics and cool little details you snuck in there. great example of their work on the enclosure so i may check that out once i have the energy to work on graphics. very excited to build one of these tube guys.

Yeah! it's probably not an ideal spot for the switch, but I didn't want to risk kissing up against the board for this build. My friend wanted to put something together himself, idk if he got any further than this. I have the Photoshop skill set to put proper graphics together but I'm so...

looks AMAZING!!!

Short version, I like this pedal and there's not a lot of bad sounds in there, but I think I need to stray from the path in terms of biasing and just use my ear. I LOVE the biasing pads, thank you @Robert!

haha i know, i wanted to follow the recommended biasing before tuning by ear. i always do that and i thought i'd change it up this time.

finished mine yesterday, i'll try the Q1 misbiasing. it's a nice sounding pedal but to me there isn't that much difference between bias modes. AND this is the first time i've actually biased with the meter! the little bias pads made it so easy, so thank you @Robert for finding the space to...

ah i will go back and match the diodes i have in the octaclang... thanks!

i finally did some intro research on these chips to fix my damn heterodyne receiver. great information, this is an entirely new frontier. thanks!

looks dope! so the mod board changes the LFO rate? i'm still learning about the CD chips (as evidenced by my malfunctioning super heterodyne). i was fixing some LEDs from my very initial builds and man, i've come a long way in terms of quality lol.

ok coming back to this after a weekend working on the brewery renovation (the floors are looking good!), i confirmed the component values are correct. i had to pillage the A500k pot, i have some arriving today so i'll be able to test again after that. if i still am not having luck i'll go pick...

this was my understanding as well, but i never measure components and bias by ear. feels more "craft" to me (coming from a craft beer brewer). definitely not what one "should" do, but learning about the history of pedals has taught me that it's ok if part values fluctuate based on availability...

congrats on #75! I LOVE the Neve knob colors, I might copy that when I get to this build 👀
