I noticed in the Cheesemonger Fuzz board, it uses a CD4066 switch chip, and a boatload of 1N4148 diodes. This is very different to several of the other Big Cheese type circuits available, which don't use the CD4066 IC , or all the diodes (but do use the TL072 and 3 2N3904's.) How close is this...

Ha ha! OCD Alert!! ?

This is a phenomenal sounding drive pedal - so thick and clear sounding. I just built two of them - one of them I combined with a ZVex SHO boost in a 1590BB with an order switch from PedalPCB. Do it!

.... and free tape measure, and free screwdriver, and lots of other junk that I just can't live without! ?

These four pretty much cover everything for me...

I found that mine sounded a lot better (and more like the videos) when run through the effects loop. Brutal amount of gain (and low end) that somehow got lost when going through my amp's preamp.

And me too... but I ran out of patience last night and clicked the Check Out button. So I expect a Tayda 15% discount to be announced today. ?

I ordered one. It's a nice finish, and exactly as described - matt black.

It's Hammer Time! :)

100% agree. When I was starting out with building pedals, PCB's at least gave me a fighting chance of having a working pedal. Once my skills improved - soldering, wiring/layout and troubleshooting - I began to realize that pretty much every issue was solvable. I primarily use PedalPCB boards...

I've found that with most veros, if you trace along from the marked ground (on the vero layout) you'll typically find 2 or 3 more points on other strips where the ground also connects. I then use those points for additional ground wires. When I want a challenge, I build vero. When I want neat...

I agree on the placement of this pedal - sounds absolutely massive when run in the effects loop, bypassing the amp's preamp. A real monster!

That's one of the reasons why I prefer side mounted jacks - super-short wires directly to the stomp switch.

Another Tayda SALE15 Good through Jan 9.

Where do you suggest getting the charge pump IC's from? I checked Smallbear, and their charge pumps are the same part number/same manufacturer that Tayda lists.

Do you have an A500K to try in its place? Will probably give you more of a useable range through the sweep.

Sounds like a reverse log pot. Are you using A500K, B500K or a C500K pot?

Will do - thanks Benny

Yeah, the one time I don't socket the IC... ;-) Most likely Tayda for the TC1044

Thanks. Only been running it with a battery - it's not (yet) on my pedalboard with the 9V power brick. I'll look at the schematic to see where to introduce the -9V and bypass the charge pump. Hoping for something simpler first to check. ;)
