I can check for you when I get home. I think there might be some info on it from Robert if you sift through the forum. There definitely is about the switching jack, but it's useless because you need a special expression pedal. With a dual gang pot, I believe.

How'd you stuff it in there? you flattened/clipped the pot tines, and ran leads to the gain and vol pots with dustcovers? I don't see the effect out cut.

I don't know if it will meet the standards of owlexifry tite chugginess! You can definitely get higher-gain marshall tones and pull out some squealies, but it's less dry than say a Revv3. Maybe boosted? Haven't tried yet. In any case, it's a pretty low parts pedal and not particularly hard...

Upon @HamishR 's enthusiastic suggestion (thanks, bud!), I had a go at this circuit. The breadboarding was super dumb, but I struggled through it, loved the Marshall Big Rock sound it gave, and of course I had to try to PTP the thing. This time, though, I had a concept and did graphics and...

Well, I think my build is a pretty solid pedal, and I would guess captain squealies AKA @owlexifry would like it. It's kind of like a marshall-in-a-box, but it maybe doesn't have the obvious gain range as, say, the Skreddy Major OD or the Colombo Plexi Breed. It really skews pretty quickly...

AGREED

Check, check, check, and check. Outrage bingo? Is there a prize? Pro-breadboarding, pro-sockets. Sockets have saved my sanity several times.

Good to know. I find the bass control a bit mild in my breadboard of the Major OD, so no doubt I've made yet another error in the breadboard.

Anyone find the tone controls in the Major/old fashioned more subtle than the diamond peak?

So after I breadboarded the Major/old fashioned, I thought to myself, my diamond peak isn't anywhere as loud as this, and I went in to check the biasing. and then I was also looking at it thinking waaaait a minute, the Major had that last 1 nf cap going to ground from the output line, this one...

I had a HELL of a time breadboarding this one (6 iterations). Couldn't remember how to do the circuitry inline of the power rail (the 5.2 and 6.8 K resistors & etc.), kept making wiring and other dumb mistakes. But after all that, I think Skreddy built a pretty bombproof circuit. The...

I need to buy or make a stamping block. Nice!

Nice! I also like the revised (?) logo

Well, the easiest is to literally follow the schematic. You can see that on the OK Doomer above. and I make sure to think about what needs to see what first etc. Here it is for reference: You can get as creative as you want as long as you respect the connections, and keep in mind that...

Well dang. Looks I have more breadboard dysfunction holes to fall into.

Do it anyway, duder! Assemble everything as 4 circuit blocks and a power section, and then see how you want to put it together.

Question: I've breadboarded the Old Fashioned/Major OD and had A LOT of self-inflicted wounds. It only ever fired up after 6 reworks. Anyway, about the Gain pot-- Is it as wide ranging as the Diamond Peak (light-light overdrive to almost fuzz with all dials maxed) or is it more subtle? Just...

Hahaha that's a good metaphor for my life. I do like Blade Runner, but who doesn't?

Very!
