Nice tight build. I really like this pedal. How did you end up biasing it and adjusting the input trimpot?

You'd think they would design a smoke alarm with super capacitor instead of a battery. Nice write up - my build queue just got longer.

It depends how far you want to go. If it's just for early morning circuit testing or jamming, I'd go with the Beyer Dynamics mentioned by Roberman. If you want to go crazy, get electrostatics and build a KG headphone amp.

VFE Standout

I ordered one with the enclosure. Should be fun and it will probably knock a couple of pedals off my board.

Count me in for one.

I was expecting this pedal to be a one trick pony. I really like this pedal.

Great build. Great chorus. I used a scope to calibrate mine. Went pretty smooth. I like the simplicity of the pedal. I built mine a while ago and can't remember the specifics of the build and I'm away from home.

What does your test circuit look like? I seem to recall that you need a load on the output of the regulator to get an accurate reading. I just looked on the datasheet and you need a minimum load of 1ma. The min input voltage is 7 volts.

Try some low gain BD139 for the silicon transistors. They aren't the typical TO92 transistors.

Good to hear that your daughter is doing alright. If you end up in Europe, you can find some rare electronic parts.

Guitar

I built the Guyatone PS-021 Guitar Exciter / Compressor (AionFX Meridian Exciter / Compressor). I have to say that I really like this exciter / compressor. Madbean is coming out with a Boss CS-3 board, this month. My two favorites, right now, are the OTC-201 and the Guyatone. I'm not a big...

I got a bad batch of 7660 and they squealed like crazy.

If you have some TL072s on hand. Try replacing the 4558s. The JFET opamps seem to be more stable. If that works, you can debug the 4558s. You could use your scope and see where the oscillation is occurring.

I always suspect the charge pump ic.

I have a bunch of Russian transistors, as well. I need to inventory them (I should just send them to Fig). If there's certain ones your looking for, I'd be happy to share. I have a DCA75 so I can measure them, as well.

I have a few vtl5c9. Can't remember where I got them but my Wavelord sounds great. Just DM me. I'd use a socket just to be sure.

Sunlion. Fuzz Face and Beano. Any OD / Dist with a Varioboost.

I don't know about you guys but I always get the last words in with my wife. OK. "Yes, dear" are the last words.
