probably the input one. like changing the 1uf to a 470nf or a 220nf.

yeah, i thought about that.

it turns out that it's actually bright enough sounding, but it has a TON of low end no matter where the tone control is set as compared to my etched PCB version: all of the values of caps are the same, but i'm thinking that it may be due to using tanalum and MLCC ceramics in places instead of...

just continuity checked it and it's soldered fine.

gut shot:

i built one years ago with my own etched pcb and, IMO, it sounds a lot better. i'd like to make this new pedalpcb version sound more like it. i'll have to see if i used the same component values in it, so i think that i'll have to mod it.

i just finished building a Cream Pie in a 1590B with all top jacks and a relayed true bypass, and to me, it just sounds too dark, even with the tone control dimed. If it wasn't so dark sounding, i'd probably like it A LOT more.

i just ordered another pcb for it to see if the second build sounds like my original since this build doesn't work all that well.

edit: i just reflowed two solder connections that actually looked fine and reassembled it and it seems to be working much better, but still doesn't have anywhere near as powerful eq shaping as my original Stone Deaf pedal. new gut shot:

i did everything in this thread and mine's effect is more subtle and doesn't sound quite like my original Stone Deaf unit. i reflowed two solder connections (already looked good) and it seems to be a lot better now, but it's eq is not as deep (effective) and my original.

just finished mine. unfortunately it doesn't sound like my original Stone Deaf one. I can hear the filter but it's barely there compared to the original so i'm disappointed with it. my plus & minus control label also works in reverse of the original and the rotary switch deosn't do much at...

i agree.

building the pcb right now. unfortunately i don't have any 1K6 reistors so i had to order them. i was almost thinking of substituting 1K5's for the two of them since they're on the expession jack but i'm not sure if that would be acceptable.

thanks!

i did the design in photoshop, then printed it on white laserjet decal paper, gave it 5 coats of Krylon matte clear, cut out the decal with an exacto knife, applied to the enclosure with micro set, gave it 6 more coats of clear, let it cure, wet sanded it with 800, then buffed it on a large...

I just finished this one and, IMO, it actually sounds pretty good. I went with a 1590B with relayed true bypass.

i think that you're right, although at least i did label "Handmade in USA by johnk" at the bottom of the enclosure.

yep. that's it.

in hindsight, I should have used my last name instead of OKKO bu it's too late now.

thanks! i prep and polish them myself.
