... from Das Musikding too I guess 😉

Yes, I have noticed sometimes how SIP sockets are not tight enough. What alternatives are there/do you use? EDIT: I actually soldered it into another SIP and stacked them to keep things tighter.

Sorry,... OK, I felt a clear difference as to my issue being lot less prominent on 18V compared with 9V. I also assume that 18 would raise the headroom (from what I read) and possibly result in less clipping problem in my (previously) more extreme settings. Yes I have a breadboard (with a Dist...

Thanks for coming back to me. Felt a bit lonely there for a bit... I will keep it at 1k for R10. Makes sense. I assume this is for 18V. I got the LM13700 from Das Musikding as part of the kit. I will see if there is a way to test it to see that it is OK or not, but not quite sure how. C5 and C6...

I got an inductor as part of a kit. 8 legs. 2 of them have thin copper wire reaching them, the others seem to not respond to my DMM, but the encircled ones show 730mH (ish) between them. Which pads on the board should I connect and solder them to? And should any other legs be soldered to any...

I got a 2k trimpot for R10 today. With 18V, Ratio on 3 o'clock and Threshold on 9, I had to dial it down to about 340 ohms. And at that point I am not able to hear as much of compression as with 1k or recommended 2k. So I tend to think that there is something else wrong, not just pushing the...

Which makes me wonder why launching this thread and not come back to it?

I think I can slightly almost sense something happening with ATTACK if I tamper a lot with RELEASE. But (in my case) not enough to have the knob in the first place. Low RELEASE seems to be lifting the sound more than natural as it rings out. So it acts like an after-boost, sort of as if the...

I took out R10, put sockets in. Tested with 18V. 1k gives less distortion when on 18V vs 9V 2k sort of bring back some distortion. So I tried with 470R and the distrortion is basically gone. But it sounds as "less compression pedal" being the cost. Is that an accurate observation? (@Chuck D...

So I did the most unscientific test, Friday late night, but hey... I ran with 18, 12 and 9 volts. There might be all kinds of objections, but my take on all this is to run at 18V, learn how to dial in the pedal and look for subtle but good. I am closing in on the first... Oh, almost forgot, now...

I am no genius at this. I am a happy amateur at best... So I checked mine and from some previous experience I fell that if they all check out above 18V, I am willing to try. I also asked and felt I got the OK. How much, if any, the R10 1k vs 2.2k affects the sound? No idea, but adding a socket...

What component is lowest rated? (LM13700 should be well within margin)

Just check through what markings your components have. Then you know your options

I got my kit from Das Musikding, and I checked the caps, ICs, transistor etc and they all have margin. So just read yours. If you are above 12 then you can try, or above 18... Only advice to consider is in other thread about R10. I'll put in a socket so I can try around. Will check 12V later on.

Not yet. Will try but it takes some tweaking first...

I heard the sound clip and there was similar oscillation at the end. So nothing wrong with my build, it is part of the deal.

So with THRESHOLD on minimum setting, there is not a whole big difference between 9 and 18V. At noon, there is nothing to think about, 18V drops in volume in comparison. I A/B with same settings and on/off. Strat Bright on ATTACK min RELEASE 10:00 LEVEL 01:30 RATIO 12:00 I am also surprised, I...

I have to check. How do I set compression to minimum? Is that THRESHOLD at max? ATTACK, RELEASE?

Made me happy 😀 Planning on doing his take on mxr dist + with all the variants on clipping, and if ok, take the ones I like into another crazy build EDIT: He posted on DIYstompboxes.com under Pictures where he linked it.
