Your soldering looks great for your first time doing it. Nice work! Rat's are one of my favorite distortions, too. You're gonna dig it. Good decisionto socket the clipping diodes and chip for future swapping and experimenting. The Auditorium is really great for testing stuff out before you...

This has ultimately been my conclusion as well. Amp sims can help a LOT, and I have definitely not tried them all to know which ones are the best, I just find it easier to throw a mic on my cab and move it around until I'm happy. You're using a HPF after the amp/cab sim, correct? Figuring you...

Electric guitars are picky beasts. A DI'd electric guitar (nothing else, no processing) will always sound bad IMO. The coloration of the amp and speaker is almost what defines the tone of electric guitar. Most amp circuits have a pretty drastic EQ shift of the signal. I believe it's a pretty...

Tommy III and Timmy v3 are the same exact circuit.

Ok, so things are working through the input and out. 4558 path is fine. Are the BBD's legit? Are they put in the correct way? Does the rate LED pulse? Transistors in the correct direction? Got any pics you can post?

Sell em, usually.

I like foam tape and velcro. Electrical tape will insulate just fine.

That pedal is long gone, no other pics. Vero/Strip board. One pad on the PCB goes to center lug of switch. Other pad goes to both diodes. Other end of each diode goes to the top or bottom of switch. Keep in mind polarity of diodes and the PCB pads.

Did something like that with a Rat so I could switch between 4148 and an LED.

Can't tell which chip you're using for the LFO. If you're using a TL062 or 072, try a TL022. Lower current draw, less susceptible to adding noise to the rest of the circuit. Won't affect the sound in the slightest.

The Timmy is my favorite overdrive, have had one on more board for at least 10 years. Snagged a v3 from Paul this year which is now the one velcro'd to my board. Such a simple, brilliant pedal. This weekend I built a pair of them, a Tommy III and a v2 on vero. Vero/v2 is for a friend and his...

This is my thought process as well. I don't see much point in having a buffer unless you consistently turn all of your pedals off.

If you liked the mammoth pro's, SBP brought em back.

I got one of those boards waiting to be put together. Awesome build!

I always got a good chuckle from the Ceriatone Klone with the dickbutt graphic instead of the horsieguy. Wanted to put that on a klon for awhile but the fella I built it for requested it to be church friendly. Alas, I built him a Minotaur. Audio taper for the volume instead of linear, D9J ge...

Super neat! Very cool build.

It's a bias adjuster. Set it by ear, it is very obvious when it's in the correct range. Too far in either direction and it'll have no chorus effect and/or be super distorted.

K beat me by a minute. Nice! A favorite mod of mine is swapping that resistor with a 1Meg pot. I hook up a footswitch to short the wiper to the 1st lug so I can get a secondary rate control for vibrato speeds.

R33 on MadBean's Pork Barrel (CE-2 clone, similiar to Julia) adjusts LFO speed. Not positive what it is on Caesar (R6?), but find the resistor coming from the wiper/middle-lug of the Rate knob. Lower resistance for faster speed, I'd recommend trying a ~270k in it's place for a better pace for a...
