Gonna have to try this tonight... I have an actual Plumes pedal that I'm going to mod-- and build a greengage if I can't. The eqd photos all had through hole components, but my pedal is SMD. I can see that you can carefully make regular caps work here... will just have to figure that out...

Here's what he just posted to talkbass: I would up C1 anywhere from 220nf-1uf and C4 up to 470-680nf, but i'd experiment to taste

To be fair to John, sometimes I think he does the mod that sounds good and then doesn't really write down what he does and that's why he can't share it. For his pork loin mod, he documented that one pretty well.

I need to go higher than 100n, so seems like 470-220 is a good range to try.

Looks like the Dwarven Hammer uses a 220n in a similar spot on the schematic. I'm not great at reading schematics, but that seems close to where I'd want to be looking. 330n on the stockade.

Sounds like I should have a go at socketing C4 to try some different values. I do wonder what two resistors John K replaced, though.

Thank you for the response! What would you change C4 and R6 to? Over on PCB Effects layouts, the suggestion is to change C4 to "anything from 1 to 10uF"

Has anyone done this? It sounds "fine" but has some low end loss that could be fixed. JohnK over on talkbass said that it's just 2 caps and a resistor... but that's an old thread and he may not respond to a query on what caps to change. Any thoughts? Is it just C1 and C6?

thanks!

Just built a son of ben and it sounds very good. I did notice that when the drive is all the way down, it cuts the volume. Is that normal? Also, I adjusted Q1 to 5.1 V / and Q 2 and 3 adjusted to 4 V each.

Actually, SmallBear has a 125BB that may be what I'm looking for: http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/125-bb/ And with a chrome powder coat: http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/chrome-powder-coat-multiple-sizes/

I saw some build reports with that... I'd rather not put it off board to make the build more rock solid.

Thanks! One question... the Simulcast needs to be in a taller box, right? IT won't into a BB with the transformer. Is that right? Just trying to plan this out. It's for bass playing.

Just emailed with Steve at Smallbear and he said that they have an equivalent to the transformer for the simulcast: http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/transformer-1-1-for-direct-boxes/

Has anyone put these two circuits in the same box? Are they too similar for it to make sense? Or are they different and complimentary enough?

Awesome... I'll put in an order soon.

Does anyone have an extra Son of Ben board... out at the store and looking for one for a build. Pop'd or not... doesn't matter.
