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.

Happy Holidays! As somebody once said, go build something.

never noticed that issue with tayda branded pots, but I usually stick to the alpha anyway because I figure they must cut something to make them that much cheaper.

Also, the google query site:pedalpcb.com filetype:pdf tl071 will bring up some of the build docs that have tl071 in them. Looks like one of the top hits (Celsius) is a 1-knob w/ a tl071, as is the Triangulum (both of these also have a chargepump too).

a microamp comes to mind https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2010/08/mxr-micro-amp.html

It's not going to impact tone either way, but from the schematic, I'd probably use a 1n5817 there as it's part of the power section.

good point, I should've considered this, was being too simplistic. and you're right: it's a odd spec to claim.
