This is the inside of the new Maestro enclosures. They glue and use standoffs

I've seen people rough up the inside of an enclosure and use hot glue around the edges of a screento hole it down, or alternatively JB weld standoffs in place and use screws to clamp down on the edges of the pcb

I've had a couple of mix ups but nothing that was a deal breaker. They always made it right. I think it's just growing pains.

I don't think I've ever seen a buffer in the power section. Why is the opamp even there?

R12 sets the input Impedance for the Rat2 at 2M2. It was omitted on the Rat so not sure what the impedance is for it. That may account for some of the difference.

I just cut thru one of the sockets and trim the edges

Millmax makes a bunch of press-fit stuff like pin receptacles. I havent tried but any but one of them might do the trick https://www.mill-max.com/

Also, there are Snaplox https://www.oxleygroup.com/components/interconnect-products/interconnect-listings?checked=

There is something called a "Fuzz Button" https://www.custominterconnects.com/categories/fuzz-buttons

Which pot do you want to become 250k? Volume or Tone

"Build documentation coming soon…" I looked in the projects folder and not there yet either

Cool, Thanks. I guess I missed that in the store last time I looked.

Did you ever get around to tracing this one?

What color is the tolerance stripe on the resistors?

Yes, please! Thank you

The product description says this: https://maxonfx.com/products/maxon-compact-series-guitar-effects-pedals-overdrive-extreme-od808x - Extended frequency response improves note definition and clarity - Increased Output (+5 dB over OD808) for extra Volume Boost - Harder clipping yields more...

Im not sure where any extra gain would be coming from over a normal TS. All the caps you point out are part of low pass filters in the tone section so I don't think that is contributing. Like you said the gain stage is the same.

You could also look into using one of the analog switches in the CD4000 series ICs. I think you could control a CD4053 with one of the poles of a 3PDT to get a 5PDT. http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/cd4053/cd4053.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_4000-series_integrated_circuits

Yes, mostly VFE but there some others. I did a build report over here: https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=32259.msg309994#msg309994 It's a work (still) in progress...

You don't need smd adapter boards, just tack solder clipped resistor legs on and you are good2go
