I had the pedal powered, and holding the red lead to the Left leg (flat side of the transistor facing me) and the black lead to the middle leg, I got a reading of 8.45.

No, but I'll go get one today

How would I do that?

Unity Volume is at about 2:30-3 with the gain knob at 0, and about 1:30-2 when gain at 12:00. I've built this pedal before, just the Glory Hole straight up Morning Glory clone, and it has 12:00 unity volume.

I've been modifying my Glory Hole, and I put a 470K in R7, but what you did here is genius! 220K and 1M, I might try this out if I build it again.

I lowered C10 to 100p, and it sounds pretty good. But I'm still having the volume issue. By looking at the schematic I'm guessing that by lowering R10 would increase volume? It's the last resistor before the volume knob is my reasoning for that.

Ok, so I changed R7 to 470K and really like the sound of that, but now it's a little quieter. I've looked at the schematic and honestly don't fully understand it, I do know, just by reading the letters and numbers like R and C for resistors and capacitors and the IC has the name, and D1, 2, 3, 4...

True. Oh ok, wow. That's a crazy bump in gain. probably don't want that much right off the bat. So move up in doubling increments. Moving down on C10 would that be in half increments, or just move down one level at a time? Thanks again for the help!

Thanks everyone for your replies! I'm thinking of bumping R7 to 1.2M and dropping R17 to 10K. I like the HI-CUT switch in the cut position in the one I've already built, strangely with the tone knob turned up higher (is the tone knob a frequency sweep or a treble cut?). So how far down would i...

Has anyone attempted to mod this one? I'm mainly curious if there's a way to make it high gain? Another thought I had was, what would happen if you put all of the 1N4148 diodes in backwards? Just looking to get some different sounds.

I've been thinking of doing something similar, but was really hesitant for this very reason.

Thanks!! I had thought about that, but wasn't sure if it would work.

I'm looking to build the Gherkin Fuzz, but I can't find a board mount A470K potentiometer. Is there an alternative, or an electronics site that sells them that I'm unable to find?
