Thanks for the report. I am a fan of the Chop Shop so I probably have to order one of these. I need to get me some of those cool breakout boards too!

Barely any parts and the end result is a very nice sounding fuzz. The bias trimmer be damned I played this things straight on the PPCB platform and it performed. It can get tight and loose. Easy to work with the board layout and no obscure parts. I did order the BC550C because I only had the...

Good question. They do kind of run together.

This pedal can be assembled in just a few hours and it sounds great. First I am a big fan of the Matte clear 1590b. Very lovely feel and easy to work with. The Southern Belle board is diminutive so I stuck it in a 1590b. The circuit is bitey and it has some great tone. Honestly it gets hard to...

Besides that hard to find OPAMP I followed the build documents. You can see I put a LM348 in there and it works great. This is a very creamy overdrive, when you gain it all the way up you’ve got fuzz like sustain. You can also roll it back to get some transparent overdrive. This was a fun...

This one has some obscure caps (ceramic and film). I made sure to get every value spot on because this pedal was so appreciated in Nashville. I also saw the highly respected Tim Pierce on Beato's channel. Rick asked Tim what three pedals he needed and the first one he requested was a Nobels. The...

This pedal goes together quickly and sounds great. The circuit really makes my amp sound like it is getting taxed. Small board so I decided to put it in a 1590b. It fit without any planning or cap movement. I used the open Lumberg jacks for space saving and I used a regular footswitch, I did use...

I too had to crank the gain trimmer.

I concur. You did a nice job,. I should have done the same with that darn 38.3k

industrial!

Immaculate

! Crowded Looks like 10 op amps and 6 internal trimmers. I bet it sounds great!

Fun project. Somewhat easy to maneuver on the board, and the finished project is a useful pedal with varying levels of overdrive. The voice switch is subtle, and the gain switch is aggressive: it seems to go from Klon-like to Murder wasp. The overdrive is able to be dialed in very easily and you...

I swapped in the correct op amp and the 549C and I notice minor discernible differences. Boost similar volume. The toggle however seemed to tamp down the signal at the 25w with the other op amp and transistor. Now the sound seems a bit more even when switching between 25/50/100. It is already...

Cool, things I learned from just jumping in. I used a 2m resistor. There are ways to put resistors together in series or together to get the resistance you need; or order the correct resistors. I think the electrolytic caps 25v is great but I have used 18v and even 10v. Best practice is to use 25v.

Looks like my parts are not going to arrive today to do further testing. I’ll get back to you tomorrow on that transistor. And whether it produces any change. Note: still waiting on parts but I plugged it in to my Super Reverb and it sounds a lot better. Maybe I was too harsh in my original...

I dig this so much!

I am a sucker for switches and overdrive. In my opinion the boost on this pedal is somewhat underwhelming. With that said there are a few things I will test tomorrow. I did not have the LM833 op amp (it will be here tomorrow), so I used an NE5532. Also the build docs call for a BC549C transistor...

Just my luck... I used a 10v 470u in one spot that was tight. Grrrr

Nice to have another pedal to look forward to building, Your glowing endorsement makes me want it.
