The 50V Wimas are the ones I usually have to buy if I'm doing an Aion project and can't get away with folding over a Kemet. (It's annoying tbh, so much so that I actually designed my own ODR-C-based PCB just so that I could use larger footprints for the 1uF and 2.2uF caps)

I mean, if you trace it out and find out it’s already got 1M to ground on both input and output (as I’m assuming it will), that’s your next step.

If you've got a multimeter you can check for continuity from that resistor to one of the legs of the 3PDT switch (I can't tell from the pic what wiring scheme they're using but nonzero chance pin 1 of the switch is the circuit input). Pretty sure the KoT (and I'm assuming this clone) have 1M to...

FWIW the original King of Tone can pop, too.

A - Omigod it took me like a full minute to realize those were 1s and not 7s, I was like “holy crap that’s an awful set of AC128s OHWAIT” B - a good chunk of the Fuzz Factory is a Fuzz Face, so Fuzz Face rules are a good place to start From http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/ffselect.htm

Oh, the Empress ParaEQ can be set to buffered bypass, then you’ve got footswitchable EQ and boost. Only things missing would be the tuner out and having all the controls on the side (given the lack of pedals with side controls, not sure how much of a selling point that would be. Like there’s of...

Bits and bobs have been done but nothing with that exact feature set I don’t think. Closest I can think of is the Old Blood Noise EQ+Buffer, it was always buffered and the footswitch turned on or off a 3-band EQ.

That's a clever trick that I'll have to steal at some point!

Looking at the Timbre Man schematic, probably, it'd be ripping out R6, R7, and C11 on the Tommy III board and replacing them with Chuck's mid control instead. Might also look at the Cast Iron, which is mostly a Timmy but with a different take on a mids control...

I actually did a Crazy Horse circuit PCB a few months ago, my layouts aren't as symmetrical or tidy as is typical of this thread (hence why I don't post 'em), but I'd recommend a different taper for the "VOLTS" control since all the fun sounds are in the bottom half of the control

Physical size.

Looks like the cleanest way would be to hook the pulldown resistors to the 8 lugs of the switch, bend them all over into a "tent" and join them together floating in the middle, then run that to a ground

Took a look inside an acquaintance’s EQD Hoof Reaper that he swore “sounded better than every other Hoof he’s played” (he wanted me to clone just the Hoof and Tentacle bits into a smaller enclosure), and lo and behold it had MP38s in it, fwiw. (There was also a video on EQD’s channel where they...

I did a 125B-sized PCB that was a lightly-modded Boss OD-1 circuit into an OCD circuit and it sounded *awesome*; since TubeScreamer-into-a-dirty-Marshall-amp is a pretty classic combo, and an OCD somewhat Marshall-ey, it made sense to try and came out really great. I'd recommend something in...

Sure you’re not thinking of the CA3080? That’s a common chip in Ross-style compressors.

Co-worker? Neighbor? Ooh, professional rival!

Our friend Timmy’s got a cousin

Even weirder, that one (R9) is in series with a comparatively tiny 47K resistor (R8) to set the gain, the difference between 1.5M and 1.547M is going to be *super* marginal? Wonder why they did that.

oh so *that* is what the can was for! To hold the mojo in!

"Nah bro it's gotta be batch L8551, they ran out of the good 'mojo' silicon at the factory after that day and batch L8552 was shit"
