Well, they're obviously shipping to someone.... I'm not sure how all of this stuff works. The concern seemed to be that I might break it and demand a refund or repair. Apparently someone else had done that in the past, made a mess of it, and since it's Reverb I suppose they usually side with...

That reminds me, I should probably wash my hands, it's been like 10 minutes.

Monks gone?

The gain will be higher/lower respectively.... I can't say if it would or wouldn't be audible, but probably not enough for concern considering tolerance.

Correction to what I said yesterday... I do not believe the transistors were sanded after all. I think maybe the primer etched the face of the transistor slightly and made the part number harder to see. I'm not huge on candy, I have my moments, but the truth is I kinda just set it up there...

Posting these for @huntest (You have to reply here, not to the emails from the forum) I assume your bottom row of pots has dust covers like the top? Have you tried adjusting the trim pot? I'm suspicious of your TL072s, but I'm not sure I've ever bought ST brand before so they might be...

Known name? Yes. My name? No. I don't think they're shipping until April/May anyway. Funny story, since you brought it up.... A couple years ago I bought a PastFX pedal on Reverb, from PastFX. Immediately got a private message "Are you Robert from PedalPCB?" ... (from Verle? I...

You did indeed... maybe it uses a 1N4001 for polarity protection? I hear that works wonders for a Bluesbreaker. (I'm kidding, it has no polarity protection)

Goop, spray paint, hot glue, and sanded parts.... this whole thread is starting to feel like a setup. :cautious:

You're not suggesting it's a completely original new circuit? I'll see your body filler and raise you one piece of cork and some hot glue. Honestly, at this point I feel like I might have gotten some sort of prototype or demo unit... This is just not built like the rest of their pedals.

There was nothing formal about that interaction. I've only been shown paperwork once, and that ended with "and by the way we don't even want you to mention our name on social media"... So, it was most definitely not XVEZ.

So jealous, no one cool has ever demanded I quit.... It's always folks who build stupid buffers and Tube Screamer clones.... For gods sake there's a "Blender" inspired project that is literally named "The Blender" and no one bats an eye... but let me clone a clone of a clone and everyone...

All goop jokes aside, the pedal does sound fantastic, and all of his other non-gooped builds look pretty dang good.

https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/pedal-builders-react-to-this-guy-finally-cracking-the-spirit-in-the-sky-fuzz.28147/post-368305 Complete accident, but the headline + recipe is priceless. :ROFLMAO:

Double-post.... whatever. Let's roll.

OK, that's better.... let's proceed.

I was genuinely caught off guard by the goop, I must admit. The guys stripboard builds look fantastic, so I really didn't expect... that.

You can substitute C5 in the Cataclysm with something higher, 22uF - 100uF. For the Viceroy, you could double up two 4.7uFs in parallel to get 9.4uF, or two 22uF in series to get 11uF, both would be close enough. They don't really have to be 25V unless you're going to power it at 18V.
