Interesting! What am I looking at exactly on this graphic?

Hi everyone, Pretty sure it wouldn't work but since even smd J201s are somewhat hard to come by, would J202s work in a Benson preamp clone? Alternatively, could I use a J202 in one spot of the circuit? Maybe last transistor? What do you guys thinks? Thanks!

Haha and here I am two years later asking myself the same question 😂 I’ve seen reports of the Analogman KOT popping a bit so that’s that. At the output I usually omit the electrolytic 1uf in parallel with the film 1uf and directly use a film or mlcc 2.2uf, but I guess that cant possibly make...

It depends on your rig, pickups and gain stages that you run before the delay pedal. I usually dont have any clipping issue when I play clean with my strat, but a few years ago I had bought an EQD Ghost Echo that I tried after an EP Booster, and it was impossible, the EP made the Ghost Echo clip...

5mm or 3mm doesnt matter. But with the led correctly oriented, the pt2399 chip shouldnt distort at all really.

Does the led (d2) light up when the signal is clipping? Are you sure it is oriented correctly?

£369 ?! Hahaha and I feel guilty when I sell my pedals €130-140 o_O

Looks like a Red Llama with a tone control

Try a green led from pin 7 of the pt2399 to ground. It acts as a crude limiter that prevents clipping. Jon Patton invented it. It works very well in my experience!

That’s just hilarious 😂

Oh no I had the feeling he was cool. Well… at least I like his algorithms… 😅

Yes, music can be so powerful and therapeutic. Im sure we all here do quite a bit of self-healing by playing music (and building all those weird effect boxes 😂)

It sure can be challenging and fun! It can get quite emotionnal too. Most kids I work with cant speak much, or at all, so music can be used as a mean of communication, a way to connect, express, react. Best job in the world for me! (although financially its far from ideal haha, but Im lucky...

Thanks a lot for posting those really touching and inspiring messages. I dont post much here but reading this this morning (im from France) was intense and beautiful. My heart goes out to the parents of autistic children! I work daily with autistic kids (mostly on the severe end of the...

I think he designed pretty much every pcb for Catalinbread in that era (dont know about now). Pretty sure he was also involved in the programming. I really like that guy. I had a few Mr Black pedals that I loved. Great sounds and always very easy to use.

hahaha same here :D

Oh yeah I really like his style and his work. I get the feeling that he's honest and actually believes the enclosure material makes a difference.

Aluminum knobs sound so much better than plastic knobs. They’re part of the ground plane, and so are you when you touch them! Truly amazing sound and feel difference!

Came across something I had to share with you guys I dont mean to say anything bad about this builder, I have a good amount of respect for his work, but I thought that one was quite… interesting 😅

If I use an inline resistor I generally use 22r or 47r. Sometimes if the circuit is really noisy, 100r and a 100uf cap can cure it. But yeah, careful with the balance between current and voltage drop, you're right.
