I once built a Tubescreamer with the 4 diodes as I showed above and added a simple bass pot section where R8 and C4 are. I was amazed at how much better it sounded (to me) than a standard Tubescreamer. Then you discover that you can build a TS without the buffers. Then you fiddle about a bit...

That Mouser-sourced pic looks like the OPA2134s I have. I have a few of them and seem to replace them with something else whenever I have used them.They're probably a bit too hi-fi or something for me. I use TL072s (just bought a bunch off Mouser for not too much $$) or TLC272s which seem to...

But I can take a lovely photo of it!

Aha! You passed my cunning trap! Of course there is the chance I meant the NE5532...

I LOVED the'80s! Everything happened for me in the '80s. I met the girl who eventually became my wife in the middle of the '80s, played in lots of bands and was part of the original music scene for most of it. We were into the alternative stuff so I never had a Kramer with a Floyd! I have a...

I think the tolerance is generally pretty wide for electrolytics.

I wonder where we could put the label for the enclosure? Lid is easy...

I tried the Morning Glory after building the Protein Blue, as they are both chasing the same thing. The MG does it by using a transistor, the Protein by using an opamp. I think the Protein sounds better. It might well fit into your enclosure! But it doesn't have a switch. I'm sure you could add...

More low end is straightforward. If you use the PPCB schematic, make C4 bigger. R8 and C4 make a high-pass filter which is what gives the TS that mid-hump. Making C4 bigger will move that mid hump down in frequency. Try 100nF and go from there. I would consider using more clipping diodes to...

Well @tegendemuur is onto something, because the cap's legs go through them and curl up underneath. So obviously they are some kind of pants or diaper.

That looks so cool! I love that they labelled the pilot light. That could have been very confusing otherwise...

You could use tants when you need a small 1µF cap.

With Chuck's help I traced it. I built mine on Vero. Check out the thread in Chuck's Boneyard. I would imagine that you could build the Diamond Peak and Major on the same board. I agree! Skreddy is next level when it comes to dirt pedal circuits.

I like fried rice. I'm at serious risk of damaging my computer from smashing like buttons. Which one IS the like button?? I've tried everything from qwerty to uiop and beyond and still I can't truly express my raging LIKE for their video.

I honestly don't know. I'm sure the Mallorys are fine but that F+T might be pushing it!

What is your desire?

9V might not be enough to wake up those caps...

The Bass knob is interesting in this one. The circuit almost becomes a fuzz when the bass is maxed. I'm almost tempted to try a B taper for the bass control. But that's only almost. So far I've tried an OP275, a TL072, LM4558N, TLC272 and an NE5534. The OP275 is to me a little too "hi-fi" or...

I just built a Tush with a Szukalski board and yup - Fab. As I suspected yours is a smoother, slicker version than mine. I might steal a few values of yours and keep experimenting. But the Tush is just killer. And, I think, a definite improvement on what was already a pretty good circuit. I...

Is that even a serious question?? 😂 The tariff "plan" is not just ignorant and incompetent it's also incredibly lazy. It's just tariffs. No investment, no working strategically with industry. No consultation with anyone outside in the real world. No research, study, analysis. No actual...
