Yeah as far as just noise from the pedal when not playing thing is damn near silent. Probably one of my least noisy pedals

Update: we are good to go! Got it up and running today and it's fuckin brilliant!

So I pulled up the manual and it does actually say when describing the filter/gate that when turned up there will be noise from the bbd. Which Definitely makes sense. After a bit more messing with the trim pots and regular pots I don't even notice the hiss, just kind of fades into the background...

Just finishing mine up and I love it. There is definitely some hiss that I mostly notice on my headphones right after I play. It's way less noticable on my monitors. It does get much quieter when using the filter. Actually my mixer has a 12k eq and when that's turned down I can't really hear it...

Don't have it in front of me but looking at the build doc I'm pretty sure it was c16 and kind of also c33. Got my 1n, and 100n bags mixed up haha My trusty $18 desoldering iron usually does the trick, but not this time apparently

It was one of the 13 100nf caps. I think I fixed it, but won't know till I get everything else up and running. Called it quits for the night and just have to wire up the pots and jacks and such tomorrow!

Does anyone have the schematic? I might have possibly messed up a pad and before I go any further trying to desolder, a schematic might be helpful to trace where I'd need to jump to.

Just got my a1m dual from small bear. So if my 2 from banzai ever escape from DHL hell I will ship them to anyone in need. Also think there will be a b1m dual if someone is desperate

This is absolutely fabulous

Lucky duck! My a1m dual is lost in the DHL void, almost a month now. Ordered another from small bear when the briefly had them in stock again but won't be here till Wednesday-ish

Hey I'm having trouble finding anywhere with a 2 meg linear taper 16mm right angle potentiometer. I'd be fine with a solder lug one if necessary. Seems to be a pretty uncommon pot. Anyone that's built a Benson know where I can find one? Tayda has them listed but they are out of stock. I'd...

Awesome! And then it sounds like for the first trimmer it's easiest to just set the resistance before installing it.

Thank you! I really appreciate this info! This forum is amazing and I'm learning a lot! Would you happen to know a good resource for learning how to measure the voltage to adjust the bias trimmers? I have a meter and know how to use it, just not sure exactly where to measure. Is it just from...

Just to clarify since I'm interested in doing this also when I build a Benson, by clipped do you just mean you don't have anything in the pads for that capacitor? Or do you jumper the pads? Also do you re-adjust the trimmers after? Sorry for the noob questions!

Smallbear has B1M dual gang pots. Pedalpcb said they used b1m for the prototype and it worked.

Nice! I also have the original warden but am considering eventually building this. Looks great!

Can confirm, currently building a simulcast, definitely has no clipping diodes

Actually that would be sweet. Too much of a noob to know off the top of my head how you'd wire that up. But I'd be interested in that

So do you dig the lower gain sounds without the c5 removed? Thinking about making the Benson but also interested in the lower gain side of the pedal.

The 4148 pair, I think that's the original rat diodes. Already have a rat with those if I really want those specific clipping diodes. My favorite settings on the parentheses are the leds and the russian germanium d9g diodes I have in there
