Those are VCA chips, THAT 2181 I think?

Now that is a pro build! Fantastic work

I like this idea, it would be a great resource and help mitigate redundant questions. I’d be happy to contribute to this if it gets set up.

The Bee Gee was release in 1975, or so I’ve read. It is a fairly original design, and you can see the origins of the Boss DS-1 in it, which was released in 1978. The Jet Phaser features the same circuit. It is really more of a distortion. You may be confusing it with the Bee Baa, which is an...

Actually just noticed the master volume note for the jtm 45, so that would be a good decision too, maybe even better if the cleans are nicer. I’m sure others can chime in on the tone and what not. Sorry for any confusion!

I am no amp expert, but I would say go with the 18 watt one. It should still get pretty loud and clean, but you will have that touch of breakup at more reasonable volumes.

Great build and cool name! Do you thing this circuit has any utility in general? Or is it really just for those chasing AC/DC tone?

Wow! I never realized how big this build is. Great work! The art is really sweet.

You want something that sucks. Literally. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZHH5H7N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_65A4FKG43FCZSFF7GKWC The hose holds its place and can be positioned wherever.

Haha, I get parts and builds mixed up all the time! To answer the question, yes the 1N4001 and any 1N400x diode are interchangeable in pedals (clippers, octave rectifiers, etc) and will perform identically. The numbers do matter for power stuff, like as a rectifier in a tube amp power supply...

Looks great! Pretty cool circuit too, lots of neat little details in there

This looks really cool! The letter punch art is fantastic and I really dig the assortment of knobs. Reminds me of a riverbed or shore with all the colorful stones.

I think those resistors are meant to address impedance between the gain stages. They also limit current, but I think the designers were going for a smoother sound instead of worrying about current limiting/protection at those stages. But who knows?. Reducing them ought to give you a splattier...

I've never seen yellow 1N4148s like that. They look so cool! Nice builds!

Just built an Aion Redshift as my first big build and I want to do more like that. Lectric stuff looks good, and this is now on my list! Nice work and fantastic art as always!

Thank you! It’s my lazy way of doing things that is not as lazy as the usual sharpie... I sprayed some primer, then some testers aircraft color paint, then I sanded it pretty hard after other labeling attempts failed. Thus the masking tape. I ended up pretty happy with it. Would recommend for...

I bought a Defouler Distortion PCB when it was sold for $4 with a silkscreen error; couldn't pass up on that deal! This was also my first time buying a PCB. I had done one or two vero builds before, plus a wah pedal with etched PCBs for a high school project. Anyways, its a great pedal. Made...

Looks great!

I really dig the art and the knob choice. The inside is nice and tidy too. Great build!

Not dumb! It is important to ask questions. Plus, it was a creative idea that was fun and challenging to think about and answer :)
