Looks like most places I can find are out of 2sk208-y. I'm probably going to end up using j201. It says you can use them in the parts list but I don't know enough to know if that's going to make it sounds different.

Have you compared it to audio of the pedal it's based on?

Isn't mouser based out of Texas? If so wouldn't that be quicker than tayda?

Haven't biased a bbd chip before. Is it audibly pretty obvious when you have it set correctly?

What did you end up doing for the j201 and 2SK208-Y? Did you go with the smd stuff?

Got it up and running and after 2 days, I'm pretty sure this is one of my favorite overdrives! It's really touch responsive and the crunch is beautiful! Ended up going with a 10uf for C3 and just keep the juice on at all times. With gain and juice around noonish I can get clean/edge of break-up...

I think pedalpcb posted a pic of the insides all wired up in the build report thread. Just got my board yesterday but still waiting on a whole bunch of parts

https://guitarpcb.com/product/jfet-j201/ These are still available. You can also get the smd version soldered to a small pcb on pedalpcb

Check out The Pedal zone demo for the shallow water. More playing than talking and I enjoy his demos. Something aside from the standard blues licks on most pedal demo channels

Looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait to get started on mine! Think I'm gonna go with a 1590xx case, cause I want a little more wiggle room in the install and more room for art on the case.

Yup I'm in the US. Actually I'm in the same city as lovemyswitches! Love ordering from them because it's usually at my door within 2 days from hitting the submit order button.

Smallbear has the V3102D in stock it looks like

https://guitarpcb.com/product/v3207d/ I was able to order 2 from here and they arrived yesterday. Comparing to other pics online they look legit.

Was wondering what I was gonna do with the other v3207 I ordered. Got an extra just in case. Didn't know the Ceaser used that same chip. So I guess that's going on the list of builds too!

Awesome! Thank you!

Hey Chuck, so got all my parts and most of the way built, but the build doc isn't up yet. Already got all my holes drilled ok. Only question I have is if I can follow your wiring in this pic for the juice switch. I think I got everything else figured out. Looks like you have the 3rd pad on the...

I don't know enough about swapping germanium for silicone, but I'll just note that pedalhacker usually has a bunch of nos parts. Just looked and they have a few different types of vintage germanium transistors for $3ish usd. And I think they have a testing fee you can request to make sure you're...

I'm only a handful of pedals down the rabbit hole, if you don't mind me asking, how do you go about testing everything? Do you have a volt meter that also measures capacitance? Or is it best to use one of those little component testers I've seen around?

Hmm, yeah mine has 3 distinct speeds on all settings. Should have the new speed pot in there tomorrow. I do like how it sounds, I just wish the depth knob moved more, idk, slowly? Not sure how to word it. But I'm having trouble getting it to be subtle. It goes from barely audible for the first...

Looks great! Just built one of these last week! I damage the rate pot cause I ordered the wrong size pots by accident. Gonna fix that tonight, but, I've still been able to play it, just the last 1/3 of the rate pot doesn't work. If I can ask, what is the sound difference between the 1st and...
