Ah ok! So hopefully it is just a cap in the amp that needs to be swapped. I should try the pedal in the loop of my 5150 and see how bad the pop is. The Ampeg is solid state so at least I won't have to worry about tubes. I recently ordered some big 10w resistors cuz one of the cement resistors in...

Oh hell yeah thanks! Not sure if there is a good spot for the switch, I'll probably just run some jumpers to a bread board and try some random ones out and see how it goes.

I was able to barely fit this in a Tayda 1590a. I used the ppcb drill template to mark off some locations that seemed like they would work and that worked out for me. Lumberg small jacks are necessary obviously. The board is as far down in the 1590a as it can go and held in place by the led and...

So sick. Definitely my favorite distortion pedal that I have. I still need to build a VH4 Valhalla board and the SLO board to see how those are but screw the Friedman BEOD/Thermionic I made. (sucks if you ask me) The Revv G3/Tyrian sounds good but I like this better. (Different mid range and the...

Thanks for the tips! If it's that close to a normal 808 it should be easy for me to try to find some good mods for it or something. I haven't really looked at the circuit much but I probably should have. I definitely trusted Fortin too much on this lol.

Cool little fuzz. The girth knob when turned up makes it more gated/spitty. So this pedal doesn't really have any sort of eq control and is a fairly barebones fuzz. Maybe it's a good fuzz to mod and add a muffin crumb tone control or something? I was able to fit it into a 1590b instead of the...

Definitely a good sounding soundgoodizer! (Seriously) All the switches down and it sounds just like the original signal so I'll trust it's doing the good buffer thing in there. But once you flip the switches on it sure does liven the tone up! (Boosts the volume by a lot too) I used the middle...

Shitty tube screamer variant. Build the plumes or dunes clone or something. (Or just buy a plumes) Soundwise I have pretty much the same experience as the guys in this thread. I almost wondered if I did something wrong. It's weak. Post in thread 'Hortin FexDrive layout 3'...

Thanks for the tip! I did your test and nothing is microphonic thankfully. Also the pop isn't bad into my interface instead of the amp. Now that I'm investigating the issue I am using the pedal in the fx loop of my amp though. I tried the EUNA clone I just built also with a Dailywell switch and...

Can confirm that reflowing didn't help anything. It was already good solder joints. So I still blame the dailywell switch.

I realize many holes aren't filled with solder all the way through. Maybe I should reflow just in case it fixes the pop some how? But considering it's working well otherwise idk if it's really a soldering issue. Will reflow real quick for shits and gigs.

I had no issues with the boards/parts list. Works great. I would say it's recommended use is as a presence and depth control for amps that don't have one or like a low and high freq shelf eq. (Aka slam mode for the metal guys ;D) Some random tips and things I learned from building this recent...

I've watched most of this guy's videos but this old one has a bunch of mods in it. I modded mine to true bypass, I added a switch to go into a volume pedal mode (different video), the mid control, the freq sweep control, and added a switch to change the cap from the original to the cap that he...

I placed my order on the 1st and it finally shipped on the 18th. They said there would be an 8 to 10 day wait because their orders for painted enclosures were backed up at the time so I knew it would take awhile but at least it's on the way now. They said they had some problems with their lawn...

Hey peeps. I got this washburn stereo chorus scx.7 in a lot of broken pedals cuz it was missing the back of it's case. So I rehoused it and it just barely fit into a 1590bb lol. Just a janky spare parts rehouse nothing special. But I'm getting a ticking noise when bypassed (clock noise?). Any...

The "intermittently malfunctioning" reminded me of when I bought a HF-2 that was supposed to be working perfectly. I could've got a partial refund or something but I just fixed and didn't mention it since I just had to reflow some joints. I don't have any mod recommendations but wanted to share...

To give an example my recent order placed this month was Subtotal $225.893 Shipping & Handling $62.61 (including tariffs as well) Grand Total $288.503

My little haul of various germaniums

Oh good point. That reminds me I watched a video a couple months ago where a dude was swapping all the diodes and iirc he did mention that it did add to the fuzzy nature of the sound due to the crossover distortion. Unless I heard from somewhere else. Here's the video in case anyone finds it...

Oh good to know! I hadn't looked into the circuit on that level in a while and here I am focusing on those lol oops. That's what I get for staying up too late. Thanks yall. I need to order some knobs anyway so I'll throw a couple of these in on an order so that I can experiment anyway I suppose...
