Totally cool, Michael. I appreciate a good derailment. On a derailment of the derailment, I've noticed a high end fizziness especially with the treble boost engaged, with both of my last builds. It is not present in my through hole builds. I really don't like it. Could be the standing...

Hosannah!!!

Mannnnn, I *really* productively struggled with this one. Tried implementing the mods in my old beloved o.g. deofol and ended up with questionable sound quality and an eventually non functional circuit. What was I going to do? Was I going to lay down and die? No. I tried to do it on a new...

Build report bonus: I built up the two "extra" Obsidius...es, both with Q2 slightly higher than Q1, which is what is reportedly desirable for JFETs that feed into one another. One I built with .068 and .079 odds. The other with .053 and .057 idea. The difference in the nature of the breakup...

Thank you. I learn something new every time.

Just so I'm clear, the final schematic also *changes C5 to 470nf from 100nf *changes body spdt on-off-on switch to c50k pot *deletes r7, R8, and r25, *adds c22 100nf after c13 10uf *subs 1n5817s for the 1n4148 diodes at D2 and D3? *Volume pot changes from b100k to a100k *R19 is replaced with 50k...

In addition to D2 and D3, my build also needed to get rid of d1 on the PPCB board to work correctly Just a note for future modders.

The mod man gets the nod, man. That was it! Like magic, except not at all

And a small gift for everyone: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/columbus_day I will leave it to y'all to find the common threads with certain contemporary politicians

Will do!

[Edits for clarity] Well, it's definitely bassy! Especially with bass boost engaged/toggle up. Running Ibanez ar with humbuckers and then an Eastwood sidejack baritone > Obsidius> Orange little cube amp. My standard test platform. With gain and blend dimed, I didn't find the distortion...

Chugs and thrash it is. Will report back in a bit.

So a Bassman! The source of very many guitar amps. Makes sense that it would sound good on guitar. I'm sure the tubery doesn't hurt either.

ooo good question. I can try it tonight and report back. Any particular request? (Drop tuning regular guitar, humbucker/single coil, Baritone, doom, thrash, etc.)

Agreed on everything!

Having tristesses modding the Windmill, so I needed a confidence booster, and built these circuits. [Edit: oops, forgot signal chain: Yamaha 735a (passive mode)>pedals>Sunn Sonaro with bright boost on, tone stack at 12, 2x15 cabinet, volume 2ish (I have neighbors with a baby).] I had built the...

I decided to do some pedal therapy and regain confidence building the Aion Empyrean Deluxe/Darkglass Alpha-Omega. Ripping circuit and functional off the bat. But no mods, so there's that. And happy thanksgiving as well! Happy indigenous people's day to my 'murrican comrades.

Well, the j112 read DSG on ye olde tc1, so I tried twisting pin 2 for pin 3 again. It is functional.... Kind of. Whereas before I had volume and low clipping, now I have strangled clipping and low volume. Dimed volume and gain is giving me somewhat under unity. Last time this happened to me...

Just watched the youtube video and ayyyy... Another must build as I watch my PTP Chuck D Bones project stack grow. I really like that style of guitar/player oriented interface, like the corroder.

Wow, I was not expecting such a preponderance of SMD and such a clean board. I always thought their stuff would be grimy and hand soldered with rat fur. But, maybe that's just the image they like to project.
