Could be the angle but one of those caps that's laying down looks like it's bulging. +1 for inspecting the electros.

Your attempt beats my first one by a longshot outside and in. I completely agree it's a weird zen feeling as you watch the circuit complete itself before your eyes.

Can you verify your input signal is soldered to the 3PDT breakout? I assume it is but I can't tell from the photo. Can you see flow through on any of the socket posts?

I believe germanium diodes in soft clipping arrangements can cause some level issues due to leakage. But the klon uses hard clipping and should be relatively immune to that issue. Did you test the diodes?

Didn't even realize that I had compared the schematic of the Lollar to the lightspeed rather than the Timmy... Brain was on Autopilot.

Haven't got there yet. Comparing schematics there are several differences in the mach1 and lollar. Fixed mids vs. variable. Asymmetric vs. symmetric clipping. How the Tone vs. High is implemented. Opamp choice. Not a hard circuit to breadboard if you want to dive on in.

Maxon SD-9 anyone?

I assume you checked the values for your components. I can't read your resistor stripes or cap values. I don't see any solder on the component side of the 4n7 cap which is fine but maybe something to check if your reflow didn't fix it.

did you adjust your trimmer? mine has some noisy spots on the trimmer but once i got it dialed in it went away.

I really like the foot switch indicators and labeling. Clear and clean

As long as it was in spec I don't think that would do anything. You can read up on mlccs here and get some opinions about using them in the audio path but for my money I can't hear a difference. How do the circuits sound different?

Unfortunately stewmac doesn't provide a schematic, though they do say that the project is an original clone and they don't seem to allude to any mods, but you could go off of the project instructions to see if there are different cap choices and then try to figure out which is which. Unless you...

Looks similar to the dual effects loop switch.

I'll hunt a bit more but if I don't find one I'm confident in I will hit you up soon. I appreciate it!

I would get that one too but it's out of stock and not estimated back in till May. I've read there's an almost identical one from neutrik but I'm still tracking that one down.

Maybe not obscure but does anyone have a link to the XLR they used for a CTCE Nobelium? Looking for a 3 Pole XLR Female Chassis Mount A Type vertical XLR - https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Amphenol-Audio/AC3MAV2-AU-PRE?qs=WGabLL9VVXr2gYwzoorJFA%3D%3D

Trying to think if I've ever tried one without any clipping diodes. How does it sound? That tube/condom man looks awesome

You probably look like a musical genius at this point. The plebs in the crowd would never have a clue what went on.

I like to give my guitar a weekly tuning whether it needs it or not. And for a bass you pretty much can skip tuning since no one will care. Just straighten the tuning heads so you look like you tried.
