Ultisol Distortion, any for the Revv Pedals, the Zuul noise gate, the Dirty Shirley, the Keeley Tape Echo, the Golden Falk, and about 50 other pedals. General TSO. The Dude. Mercurial Boost. Any of the ChuckBones stuff. Ice Cream with CB mods. I won't get started with fuzzes.

I love mine.

I was missing a couple parts and kind of forgot about this. You inspired me to pick it up, again. I'm going on a 10 day trip so I'll probably have to wait til I get back. I'm going to try BettyWont's method of tuning the gain trimpots. They pissed me off when I built a Total Recall.

Quick update. I put a 12AX7 in V2 and it sounds great. No squeal (no buffer needed). I'm going to try a 12AT7 in V1 (I have a 12AU7 there now). I'm convinced that squeal came from V1. I tried a 12AT7, but I can't remember if I tried it in V1 or V2.

When you use 12AU7s, the gain know is really only useful from about 11am - noon and up. When I turn the volume all the way up and turn the gain to unity, it is somewhat clean unless I hit the strings hard. If I do that it goes from edge of breakup and a little bit past that. That's with...

Quick note. I put 12au7 tubes in. No squeal. I'm going to probably try a combo of 12au7 and 12ax7/12at7. I like the 12au7s but I need a little more gain. I didn't need a buffer, either. I really like the 12au7s but would like to have 12ax7 build and 12au7 build. Different pedals but both...

I'll have some time, this weekend to try a couple of things. I'll definitely try removing the first tube and see if there's some oscillation. I have at least one 12AT7 laying around (maybe two). I have a bunch of 12AU7.

I'm quite content to just add a buffer to my build and call it even. With a buffer it sounds great. I might try shielded cable. I am going to pull out the first tube and see what does. It's one of those pedals that will find a way on one of my boards. I built a STM800 (grind customs) and it...

Not sure this is the right place. I need a recommendation for a bench power supply.

I rerouted the input and output leads and it didn't help at all. I guess I could go with shielded cable. I'm busy with other things the rest of the night. I guess I could measure some voltages, tomorrow. I have to turn the gain up higher to get the squeals when using single coils compared to...

I just swapped out the resistor. No worky. I'm going to reroute the wiring from the input and output jacks to the stomp. I will probably have to wait until this evening. I'm going to stick with the 1M resistor. One more note, The squealing goes away when I turn the volume down on my guitar.

I just looked at the schematics of the SLO-100 and it has a 1M resistor. The schematics from freestompboxes have a 100K resistor. Seems like a no-brainer to go with a 1M.

I have some Ferrite Beads, somewhere. I have both the axial and smd.

I have couple buffers around here. I, also, have several Boss and Cornish clones around here. I want to make sure that there's no charge pump. I'll try that next.

I was a little concerned with the input wiring next to the smps. Maybe some kind of resonant frequency gets created.

I tried the 12 volt linear regulator. Just a hair bit better. I put a Mach 1 (lightspeed) with the gain down and the volume around unity and the whine went away. I'm going to wire directly from the input and output jacks to the stomp. If that doesn't solve it, I'm going to go to shielded...

I tried a couple other PS incl my 1Spot (9v) and got the same result. I just remembered that I made a 12V linear power supply several years, ago. I will give that a try. Then I will put a buffer in front. I will also make sure that all the parts are the correct parts. Then I'm going to get...

Mine was whining. I used a pretty crappy power supply. One of those 12 volt ones from LoveMySwitches. I think I only have 200ma 12volt off good power on my 1Spot CS-7. I love the pedal except for the whining. The more gain the more whining. I'm going to try a really good power supply...

Mine will be live, today or tomorrow. Been taking my time and being extra careful.

I just started one, today. Should finish it up, tomorrow. I'd be happy to help troubleshoot. Who knows, I might have to, as well. I'm only doing a couple of mods that shouldn't change anything. I'm balancing the JFETs (Chuck Bones style from his BD-2 mods) and I'm going to use 2N5087 and...
