Gotcha. Then I have NO idea

which relay bypass? pretty sure you can get all the chips from Tayda.

Right, cuz it CAN"T be your guitar that would wake em up.

The switch itself will last a lot longer. I think normal stomp switches are rated for 30k switches. Momentary is along the lines of 100k. Plus it looks cooler!

That's some clean wiring for a stripboard build! Awesome job!

The best way to understand what’s going on IMO is a “learned theory” approach. Learn about the basic (opamps, transistors, tone controls) and then try them out on a breadboard to learn what component does what. The below link will be helpful but there are a lot of items in there that assume you...

Nice build! The Rat and its derivatives is probably my favorite pedal. As for the PHB, you’ll need to submit something in the thread itself to count as a submission. A link to this build report is sufficient.

I remember breadboarding this a while ago. I too had to dial back the volume knob a touch for that sweet spot. It’s just the nature of the circuit.

Feel free to submit this as an entry to PHB contest I'm holding now. It will knock the current breadboard leader right on their ass. I'm looking for actual builds and circuits, not memes at the moment.

I’d start with 1M and work from there on a breadboard.

Honor system, but we wont check. We just want people to build. Up to you if you want to submit it. I’m tired of just memes.

You may be overthinking it. If it were up to me I’d add a coupling cap for whatever section you want to put before it (dirt of some kind) and add a bias resistor from 1/2 voltage supply. Instant circuit Lego and a good breadboard candidate.

My inventory build contest. The Player Haters Ball. Despite all the memes on there it’s a legit build contest.

Nice job!!

Not bad for a first stripboard build! The key off board wiring is keeping the wire lengths to a minimum. Oh, and feel free to ignore this, but you should submit this in our contest. You can win prizes!

Vero builds absolutely count! Kudos to you for doing your own layout. I also have issues sometimes with rattle cans. Sand the bare enclosure first a bit, then the primer. A few clear coats on top and then wait a few DAYS to fully cure. You’ll get marginally better results. Or I suck at spray paint.

He's DIY that knows a commercial guy...

But what if that's your day job?

If you really want to get into modifications and find out "what component does what" I would suggest breadboarding an OD along with doing some research on opamps (inverting vs non-inverting) and tone controls. Breadboarding seems intimidating until you do it once successfully. There are tons of...

A Klon is known more for it's EQ characteristics than it's gain settings. Like, if you make a tubescreamer with a mid scoop it's not a TS anymore. Once you start veering away from a stock Klon you'll be walking a gray line. My advice is to see if you like a stock Klon first before going down the...
