It is, through the diodes. The more I look at it I realize that I need to study ICs more and work on keeping my breadboard neat.

I’m attempting to breadboard the Gauss drive and it’s whipping my ass like I own it money. I can’t get past the first wiring up the first IC because I can never get the gain pot to work. The first couple of times I kept the board neat and tidy. At this point I said screw and let the rats nest...

Turns out the SMD pads are good. I’ll get some J113 SMDs the next time I place an order. I built an Angry Andy on my breadboard and it actually worked the first time lol. It’s the largest circuit I’ve tried on the breadboard so far.

@Feral Feline i completely forgot about using the SMD pads. I believe the pad is ok but will check it when I get home.

Thanks for the recommendations! I love being able to experience all of these different tones. I have a B52 AT212 100w tube amp that started giving me problems. I re-capped it and upgraded the cathode bias resistor. I believe the last thing it needs are a quad of 6L6 power tubes but I haven’t...

MeatCanyon must be smoking the stuff they had in Vietnam 😂 I thought about building my own enclosures but honestly it’s not worth the time. This is the kind of stuff I normally mess with.

@Diynot I’m genuinely surprised that someone recognized my avatar lol. The real problem is that building pedals is just ONE of my obsessions. I also do metal fabrication and lately I’ve been practicing making things on my lathe (still need to get my hands on an old knee mill). I also rebuild...

@Feral Feline three weeks later and I finally have a couple of pics for you lol. Work has been nuts.

I’ll take some pics when I get home. I managed to rip part of a trace out while removing a transistor 🤦🏻‍♂️

Funny you mention breadboarding as I just picked up a few the other day. I’ll definitely check out the Test Kitchen.

Howdy! I’ve been playing guitar off and on for about 20 years (I’m 39) but never messed with effects much until a few years ago. I started off with a Crybaby from Hell then a Barber Gain Changer SR, Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe, Wampler Ratsbane, JHS 3-series delay and reverb, and a JHS Bender. A...
