This came out awesome! I've never tried it with a pot, but I loved how it sounded in your demo. The more subtle settings were super usable and the more crazy settings seem like a lot of fun. I'll have to try this on mine when I get the chance.

Should be easy to test this by plugging it in and moving them away, especially away from the top side of the board/pots where the LFO is.

I have a couple suggestions, but they might be more than you're looking to do. This circuit is kinda like a hybrid fuzz face with a SHO in front of it, and the problem with this is the fuzz face isn't known for it's low noise and mosfets are inherently kinda noisy themselves. My first...

One of my favorite delays! Super simple, but a great sound. Clean build as we've come to expect. You make 1590Bs look bigger than they are with your top jacks and all haha.

You've found yourself another rabbit hole. The original Peavey 5150 amp is allegedly a design taken from soldano by Eddie Van Halen, after working on the design together he decided to have peavey make it instead, again allegedly due to a more lucrative contract. The mesa rectifier line of amps...

The wampler triple wreck is based on the mesa triple rectifier amp sound, and the pedal might even predate Revv as a whole company. I would say if anything the G4 is based on wamplers work, but at the end of the day they are both built using fairly standard building blocks and don't have any...

It’s a wampler triple wreck without the wacky boost and one resistor changed.

I used to do this more, but now I don't do runs as much as made to order. I used to just set all the boards out I wanted and then populate them by value, so every 10k resistor goes into every board, every 100k, etc. Then I soldered the resistors/diodes as a batch, then sockets, then short caps...

I got mine drilled by tayda and haven't noticed any problems, but mine also has a large area UV print and I haven't put it on my board yet. @Fingolfen were yours pre drill or did you drill them yourself?

not a lot of parts in the LFO, I took a look at the schematic and I believe this should be 47n

I’m also in the socket ICs only camp, I never use germanium and I have tons of the general purpose transistors if I ever need one. My two builds with the most problems ever both have socketed transistors and after I soldered them to the sockets they have been much more reliable.

As I understand it for the reverse parallel diodes in the clipping section, each direction is clipping the waveform on the negative or positive side depending on the direction of the diodes. In the timmy for example, when you add the bridge in the middle with the voltages we're making you will...

That's really interesting, the timmy has this connection in many of the schematics available for it, I believe it was done this way for switching the two sets of diodes with one pole of a switch in whatever version it was. I have been told that this makes no difference as the signal can only...

my best guess is one side just connects power and then the ground is transferred by way of the ground from the jacks connecting the pedals to avoid a ground loop, so I think its working as expected, needing the second unit there to complete the circuit.

What is the value of this resistor? I can't really figure out the band colors in a way that makes sense.

https://oshpark.com/profiles/Pakir I believe the board I used was from this user.

If you can get the SMT ones you can get these adapter boards for super cheap on oshpark. Also the original didn't use J201, so you could find the original transistor as well which I believe is 2sk117/2sk184/2sk209 depending on package.

probably the 500k pot on the output of the mesmerizer working with the pretty awful 180k input impedance of the deep blue

That sounds super fun, thanks for the demo! Do you find the "second" control to be a useful enough to put external?
