Like so:

Even then, you can just bend cap legs to fit. The cap will sit proud, but as long as the legs aren't touching each other/other metal, it will work fine. I've not paid attention to sizes and ended up having to make "capacitor gardens" before.

Apparently they especially love a good little SMD component

It's basically an earlier version of this, but I never clear coated it, so it's faded. I'll redo it or figure out a graphic that will go along with the extra pot. I do have a tendency to leave my enclosures unfinished, though.

Totally cool, Michael. I appreciate a good derailment. On a derailment of the derailment, I've noticed a high end fizziness especially with the treble boost engaged, with both of my last builds. It is not present in my through hole builds. I really don't like it. Could be the standing...

Hosannah!!!

Mannnnn, I *really* productively struggled with this one. Tried implementing the mods in my old beloved o.g. deofol and ended up with questionable sound quality and an eventually non functional circuit. What was I going to do? Was I going to lay down and die? No. I tried to do it on a new...

Build report bonus: I built up the two "extra" Obsidius...es, both with Q2 slightly higher than Q1, which is what is reportedly desirable for JFETs that feed into one another. One I built with .068 and .079 odds. The other with .053 and .057 idea. The difference in the nature of the breakup...

Thank you. I learn something new every time.

Just so I'm clear, the final schematic also *changes C5 to 470nf from 100nf *changes body spdt on-off-on switch to c50k pot *deletes r7, R8, and r25, *adds c22 100nf after c13 10uf *subs 1n5817s for the 1n4148 diodes at D2 and D3? *Volume pot changes from b100k to a100k *R19 is replaced with 50k...

In addition to D2 and D3, my build also needed to get rid of d1 on the PPCB board to work correctly Just a note for future modders.

The mod man gets the nod, man. That was it! Like magic, except not at all

And a small gift for everyone: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/columbus_day I will leave it to y'all to find the common threads with certain contemporary politicians

Will do!

[Edits for clarity] Well, it's definitely bassy! Especially with bass boost engaged/toggle up. Running Ibanez ar with humbuckers and then an Eastwood sidejack baritone > Obsidius> Orange little cube amp. My standard test platform. With gain and blend dimed, I didn't find the distortion...

Chugs and thrash it is. Will report back in a bit.

So a Bassman! The source of very many guitar amps. Makes sense that it would sound good on guitar. I'm sure the tubery doesn't hurt either.

ooo good question. I can try it tonight and report back. Any particular request? (Drop tuning regular guitar, humbucker/single coil, Baritone, doom, thrash, etc.)

Agreed on everything!

Having tristesses modding the Windmill, so I needed a confidence booster, and built these circuits. [Edit: oops, forgot signal chain: Yamaha 735a (passive mode)>pedals>Sunn Sonaro with bright boost on, tone stack at 12, 2x15 cabinet, volume 2ish (I have neighbors with a baby).] I had built the...
