Don't have a cabsim yet--been meaning to build one though, that'll be for a future project. I was thinking of doing the cabsim for use with the headphone amp (which I also have on my wish list).

where do you plan to get the old cheap "mojo" parts? For the jfets, I would stick to the ones listed in the BOM. If you are swapping, you can't really rely on part number, you'd probably want to measure the Vp and Idss of the parts to be sure they'd work. For J201, try to match Idss between...

You might be overthinking it--what do you need from a practicing amp? My main practice/home playing amp is Vox Rhythm Mini 5, which has a 6.5". It's fine. I also sometimes play my 12" amp combo at home (which is too loud but I just turn it down) and it's fine. A lot of people use...

maybe try pulling out the charge pump, running at 9v might be less headroom and more interesting? I wasn't that impressed by this one either--it's like they neutered a rat.

I googled it for you, first hit: https://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/s/arion-sch1-chorus.php

I've built one and it behaves like a typical overdrive, and can get volume boost out.

with two clipping diodes and an op-amp, it's likely a son of tubescreamer type thing or a 250/dist+ type thing. I would guess the former, but if you can tell if the clipping diodes are in the feedback loop of the op-amp you'd have more information. Can you get a shot of the other side of the...

In the build doc photo, there are 8 capacitors in a row. In the picture of your board there are 6 capacitors in a row, and 2 at the bottom corners. So 2 of the 8 capacitors were relocated from the row to the bottom. These two are C6 (5n6) and C14 (2n2). Remaining 6 in a row should be C4, C3...

the 5.6n is C6 and the 2n2 is C14. They just got moved in your PCBs layout, whereas they were crammed tightly in printed layout.

I got to see RFTC. And I thought I would never see DLJ, but was psyched when they did a reunion tour and caught them.

I use no-clean solder, and keeping with the name, I no clean. Sometimes if I get ambitious or it looks really messy I'll use IPA, but that's like 1 in 10.

I'd use film there

the gains are good for fuzzes--did you measure leakage too?

When somebody made a best of 2025 builds thread, I realized I had only built one pedal in 2025, and that was a fuzz face for a friend. About time I completed something new. I was able to wrap up two builds this week. It's been a while--my offboard wiring regressed being rusty, so it looks a...

I need better glasses, as I thought this thread was about best hardware for working your prostrate.

Naga Viper is a great one, especially if you don't want to mess with sourcing proper germanium transistors.

I think @Robert gave one of these away in a contest a few years ago, so maybe he traced it.

It's all fine and good when you have a 1 pedal like that, but wait until you have >50

So is it going to come with knobs or nah?

Having built several bluesbreaker type pedals, I was underwhelmed by the blue side of this. The green side is nice though, but I never use it because it's stuck in a dual pedal.
