I have a template. I got one for the ADHD from another build report and flipped it because the toggle is on the right for the Max and on the left for the ADHD.

Perfect! Thank you. I also flipped this template so that it will work with the Maximum Overdrive. I drilled one of each because I plan to build the max next. Also, I’ll be able to solder the ADHD pots and toggle in place by using the max case top.

I am working on it, I cut the switch hole in the wrong spot based on my previous post so I will have to see if it works for anything else. Here is what I have so far, I do not have these 2n5457s but am ordering them from stompbox. Thanks for giving me the idea to socket the Germaniums. I often...

Looks like I found a template that probably works. Somebody had saved a copy of the old drilling template. So I used that.

Looks like you have an A100 here. No build docs so I was trying to search for a D100k because that is what I read on the board. Can you tell me how it functions with the A100k or how you decided to put this potentiometer here? Edit: Thanks for the report and for the lead on the 1s1588s. I just...

Thanks for the report. i have been waiting for build documents for both the improved bypass and main pcb. I checked the internet archive and see that it says docs coming for at least two years. So I am going to go for it without the docs as you did. Really wish I had a template for the drilling...

Clean!

My process for the pedal, First I layout all of the components and then I drill the enclosure. Video is uploading now

I wanted to build the Muffler but unfortunately I was missing that one component that nobody has (2N5485 Transistor FET). I did find some at Small Bear. This pedal feels like a tube screamer with a wider range of tone. It utilizes N4002s instead of N4148s. Perhaps not very different, I went with...

I too was thinking of Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith is the leader of the A-Team!

Terrific build. Lots of fun to make a pedal in a day and have it come out great! Previously I made the PedalPCB Sproing Reverb which only had one knob. That build came out great and I gave the pedal to a friend who plays. I built this one for a producer in Nashville. Unlike the PedalPCB Sroing...

Thanks for showing me what is possible.

Your work is clean. I have never seen that component that is in the middle.

Thanks! I wondered. Build report If you followed this thread, I failed on the first board so I started over. What PedalPB says about this pedal is "Compare to Marshall JCM800 Overdrive Pedal" and that I why I wanted to build this. Also I love overdrives. Many of the Marshall type pedals just...

Well, I put the new one up on the auditorium and it works. One question I have is how come the A1 M only registers about 350k. Out of the board it registers 1M. I noticed this with the last board as well. I’m wondering if there’s another resistor that is throttling the A1M down to the 300s. All...

Sooooo many resistors!

I repopulated another 8 ball board. I checked every value and made sure all of my soldering was done well. I turned my soldering heat down to about 390C. I was running much hotter. I also used flux on the Mc33178s and capacitor legs. As you suggested Robert, I bent the legs for the 2sk209g -...

I messed with it for a few more hours and replaced more items. It is like guessing and hoping and that is just a recipe for a burned out board. Put it back on the auditorium and got nothing - messed with it some more. Now it is on the scrap heap. I always order at least two boards in case of...

Well, I boxed it and then it went back to fair away sputtering. This has happened with a few pedals so maybe tomorrow I can take a little video so you can hear what this thing sounds like. Maybe someone on here would be able to advise me what I’m doing wrong when about one and three pedals ends...

Nice build and nice report. Looks clean and I see you went in from the top for the LED. I have not seen those type of labels on anything since maybe the eighties. It works!
