Thanks! I was only asking about the TL074 orientation after I saw this build report, Thankfully I have it right now before I continue. I appreciate the forum and those who understand that I need help with basics like this!

You have no idea how much I appreciate your post. Luckily I paused work to organize. This reminds me of when I used to sit down and alphabetize my CD collection. lol.

Oh boy. What about the orientation of your TL074? Nobody corrected me when I posted mine. Is mine wrong or yours?

Thanks for the report. Nice pedal!

I am glad you were successful. I saw a few on here who had problems

Edit Note: for other new builders seeing this: My TL074 is upside down in the images. I have a Mad Professor Snow White that I love so I wanted to give this quack pedal a try. I had to special order a ceramic cap so that is blank for now. Also was confused about the extra holes for the 500K...

Ok, so here is a little report. I tried two N134s and 2 D9Bs. Sounded like absolute trash. Muddy, no sustain and trailing off. I settled on a Bat41 tied to a Ge and a N4148 tied to a Ge. It was late so I cannot recall which Ge I used. I remember that the N134s I have sounded the worst. This set...

I guess for speed, no taxes, same-day shipping. These are my two favorite suppliers. And then of course pedal PCB.

Also, I saw a thread about the TL072’s being suspect. I noticed this 4558 chip I have doesn’t have that circle dot. I ordered some more off of stomp box. Hopefully they’ll be better. I ordered two different kinds. Anyway, not sure about this chip because it looks like the one that was being...

This is how it will look with the positive side or the anode side on each of the tented diodes toward the inside of the board and the cathodes to the outside or the cat

I love your name "Guardians of the Analog". I bought a t shirt on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L2SRTRZ?psc=1&th=1&customizationToken=MC_Assembly_1#B0B5B5MFZ3&customId=B0B5B5MFZ3&ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_configurable_asin_1 Here is what i am doing. I noticed all the little mean...

I have been using the foam adhesive pads because that is what the Stewmac kits had. I just ordered 100 of the dust covers from Stompbox parts .11 cents each. Some of the early Ibanez pedals used this thin plastic substrate over their solder

I appreciate you. I’m gonna use Ge diodes. I bought some of those foot switch boosters from pedalPCB. I’m thinking if I use Ge, they have a lower forward voltage and they will subdue the pedal enough that I might need to add that booster on the foot switch. At least that’s my understanding. I...

I am rather dense and tend to develop a cursory knowledge of things and then dive in. I will need to slow down and perhaps do more breadboarding, reading and experimenting. I very much appreciate you all for your help. i am right now building another Screamer so I can try new things.

Yes I do and I use it to test resistors

Thanks. And can I also do it the way I diagrammed? I followed this video and learned a lot but the guy never covered this. He just said two diodes and did not talk about orientation.

Somebody suggested putting two diodes in D1 and two diodes in D2. I’m trying to figure out how to do that.

That’s helpful. I will read that when I get home. But I do wanna know though is if I double diode in each slot how do I orient the negative?

A couple images- I like to put the color codes on paper to help with installation. Also trying to nail down the diode situation. I am still unclear about how to put two diodes in each slot in order to mitigate the mid hump. Like if I out them opposite in each slot D1 and D2? If I orient the two...

Thanks all! I made a build report for this pedal. The one issue with my pre-wired LED from Love My Switches is that they prewire them with a resistor. Extremely convenient for most purposes but apparently not for a clipping light. When the light needed aggressive high gain and everything turned...
