What would be a good substitute for a 2N5457 in a Bluesbreaker circuit? I’ve included the schematic if that’ll help.

I checked the data sheets, they were mostly close on specs. I was probably going to socket them just in case it doesn’t sound great.

Would J112 be a decent substitute for J113? I’m building an Acetylene and could have sworn I had 113s but I can’t seem to find them.

I never thought of that. I bought some pot condoms and I’ve used a few but they push the pot up higher than I like. I like my pots to be close to the board so I can get more of the legs through the holes.

These are cold/bad joints. Anything that doesn’t look just right, I like to go over again. I missed these somehow.

Usually if I need to cover something or make absolute sure they there’s no contact I use electrical tape. If there’s something kind of sharp I’ll use a couple layers. I’ve also got some of the “gum wadz” from Guitarpcb. It’s sticky stuff (for lack of a better word lol) the keeps things from...

I noticed the cold joints at the switch. Not sure how I missed it the first time through. reflowed everything. Pedal sounds great!

I went through and re-reflowed all the joints. Every one I could reach. It seems to have solved the problem. Still dialing in the bias and gain but it sounds fantastic.

Completely forgot. Lol. Give me a sec

I finished my Electrovibe but I get no effect when engaged. Dry signal passes and the bulb flashes. When I flip the switch to vibrato it completely cuts out. I went through and reflowed every joint on the board and 3pdt boards. Wasn’t sure if anyone might have a direction to point me in to...

How is the speed switch board wired? Is it just hole for hole? Looks really good!! Nice job

I misspoke, I meant the knob spacing. mice got mine built now and I’ve got knobs that’ll work. Thanks though!

Very nice work! Do you know the pot spacing? I’m getting things ordered and wasn’t 100% sure what size pots I should get.

Hi all! I’m set to build an Antithesis but was wondering what specs would work best for Q1? I’ve got several transistors that should work but was just wondering what would be recommend to get the best results.

Which trimmer did you change? All or just the one over the 3k9?

I did. I biased to 4.5v. I tried the pedal before biasing to make sure it worked, but then I biased. The squeal wasn’t as bad after biasing but it was still there. Before biasing it was squealing if I turned the gain up past 9 o’clock. After I had to turn it up to about noon before it squealed...

Hi everyone! I just finished the Boogie Monster but I’ve got a squeal when I turn the gain up. It starts before halfway and just gets worse if I go up. I checked everything and can’t find anything wrong. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out how to make it stop or does anyone know...

Are the build docs for the El Sol and Valhalla coming soon? Any idea of how long? I mostly just need the drill template but the rest would be great to have for reference.
