Yes R7 and R8 are correct. I ordered some tl022’s just for the off chance that works. Doesn’t sound like it will here though. I’m using tlc2262. I also ordered lm386 N-1. I remember building an Acapulco good way back and it was specified they had to be lm386 N-1. Possibly this circuit is fussy...

Where might I find these updated documents? Thanks.

Yes I’ve seen builds that insist on LM386-1 specifically or they won’t work well, or at all. I have some coming but it will be a while. The pedal pcb board says tlo22, which I’ve never used and was never used for the peach fuzz to my knowledge. It’s TLC2262… or many other opamps. Not sure why...

Sweet dreams!

Thanks. I’m sure it will leave me equally stumped. But thanks :)

Wow I’m surprised you could read my message haha. Not sure what that was about. Thanks yeah I bet you just used a Tlo72. Something is very off/weird. Like you said they are always loud as fuck.I did post to trouble shooting thanks :) Super weird things are happening with this build. Like it’s...

I’m having low volume issues with the Oeach fuzz. I’m a Fran fanatic so I’m super bummed. Built two and the same result. Plenty of successful vero builds and pcb mania even though I don’t like em that much. I was stocked because double pedals wound look good having the same template and all...

Hello out there pedal freaks :) About two years ago I fell in love with Frantone pedals. I’ve built mostly the Cream puff and (I think my favourite Peach Fuzz often on vero board) I was building the pedal pcb Cream puff’s. I was always hoping for more frantone cuz pedal pcb is my fav. But I...

I’m dying for a Brooklyn overdrive!! Frantone fans unite! I was pumped when I saw there is a peach fuzz now. I was building ones from other vendors…. But the layouts and quality just ain’t the same as pedal pcb.

Never mind guys. I just socketed the transistors and tested many many transistors. ended up using the highest hfe silicon and germanium I could find. That’s what was apparently holding me back. There is a small chance I installed the germanium with the wrong pinout….. but I positioned the same...

Hey there fellow pedal nerds ;) It’s been a while. So I am building a Simulcast for somebody. It’s all together (not boxed) and tested. It sounds fantastic with some Toshiba germanium’s I salvaged out of a Hammond organ a while ago. Those things are like a gold mine. The problem I’m having is...

The dark sound was coming from using 560k resistors instead of 560 Ohm. I’m usually very organized, but they were mixed up somehow. So this phase 2 sounds like heaven. Now.

Hey guys. I’ve built a handful of the duocast pedals…. Never had trouble. It had been a while, so my memory is foggy. You will see in the pics, to test, I would insert a temporary attachment wire on the forth to left pad (some sort of input) This is attached to my input jack. On the right...

Surprise surprise it was a short somewhere in the enclosure. Strange thing is I built two and had the same problem. Took em out of the case…. Worked fine. Put the circuit back in. Works fine. It’s always a damn short haha I’d like to add. It’s a very very tight squeeze. I found it nearly...

Hey guys. I dove head first into the PRO-10 and realllllyyy like it. Love that it lightened up the “woofyness” of the Nobels. And the BB side (blue) is great as well. I feel like it has a little more beef then some other derivatives? Of course green into blue is killer. I’m not sure if I have a...

Ah, yes. Thank you!

Heyo! So I’ve built a ton of the Parentheses Mini, and know what the clipping options are. Somebody I know really wanted me to build them the full sized Life clone. I’m having trouble finding info on the clipping options. On the Mini you have Ge/Opamp/ stock rat (silicon LED). On this new full...

Thanks Chuck. I haven’t been able to get back to this build until today. I really should have tried harder on my own to get this working before asking for help. I was in a bit of a hurry to get it working well that day. Thanks for the advise… I was almost considering popping a 20k trimmer in...

Thanks Chuck. When I put the circuit down I believe I had a 39k in for R3. I was experimenting with many values. I did perform a thorough inspection. I’ll add more details (measurements etc) when I’m able to pick this up again. Probably later today. I know my post is lacking detail.

Hey guys. Out of all the complex builds I have finished in the last few days the “more basic circuit” is giving me trouble. I’ve built maybe 4 of these with great results, until now. My other builds I wound simply populate the board with the stock components, and play with the 5k trimmer. It...
