They have some of the most classic guitar designs in history - why don’t they’d just stick to doing what they do to the best of their ability rather than weird shit of putting a tele neck on a les Paul.

That’s awesome. Very innovative circuit but also huge sentimental value too. Love it Nathan! Real 1 of 1 type instrument.

I think it’s about considering headroom. I like compressors at 18v because I don’t want it to break up. I feel the same about EQs too. I agree with @Harry Klippton in that blues breaker type circuits sound better at 18v (to me). I think this is because I use a blues breaker as more a a dirty...

Yep I was think an issue with the relay or switching to some extent if you get the bypassed sound when activating the footswitch. Is there power where you would expect it to be? Are there any loose cables/poor joints connecting the break outs to the main PCB?

Most of us here are human - as humans we make mistakes. As long as you’ve put your hands up and owned the error then it’s all good! As fig says “Now go and build something!”

Looks great @Coda ! Have you got a schematic for your build?

This is my first build in about 18 months which is appalling. Fallen into the trap of busy work and home life making for very little play time. This build has reinvigorated my need to to build pedals again and I’m enjoying planning what’s next, but the build itself was a fight. I’m running...

Shorting that 10k to ground disengages the EEPROM and activates the internal FV-1 effects. If you resolder that 10k into the pad so that it’s engaged with pin 13 and not ground then you should have a working delay effect.

Yep, no issues with doing this.

That gut shot is a vero work of art! Love it @HamishR Also it wouldn’t be a build of yours if there wasn’t a bass pot added to the circuit 🤣

I think your breadboard would sound better cloth covered @Laundryroom David - the cloth adds that bit of top end sizzle to bring over drive to life. 🤣

Getting away from all the mojo and cloth conversation I would chime in and say all his builds sound fantastic!

The input jack wiring looks incorrect and different to how you wired the output jack.

A picture of the underside of the board would be helpful. There are a few pads that look like they have received quite a bit of heat (near the switch pads). I agree with @benny_profane that some of the joints look dull and could be cold. It sounds like you need to audioprobe the circuit to find...

This is evil genius level of design. How the hell did you get all of that in and not have it ticking like crazy! The Dave Chapelle Show Prince holding the pedal is phenomenal as well 🤣

This is C4 whic is part of a HPF before the FV-1 so this shouldn’t effect your LED or bypass popping. Can you send pictures from the underneath of the board? Check for solder bridges around the LED and the ground wire at the bottom of the board.

Nice! How does it sound vs normal klon? Do you power it with 9v or 18v? Has the diode switch been labelled the wrong way round?
