Google Drive or Dropbox or similar with a download link works ok, but I think the best solution is just to sign up for a Soundcloud account and post them there. You need to use the Share-link from Soundcloud though, not the link you yourself use. Same goes for the other services too I guess...

I definitely consider it a part of tape simulation, but not saturation. That being said, I don't think the circuit described here is as much tape saturation as it's just "saturation", the same circuit was called speaker saturation too. That's not a knock on it of course, I'm sure it's nice...

Don't forget 16 germanium diodes! If I understand it correctly, doesn't adding more diodes just change the forward voltage? So it clips less? Surely there has to be some other way to do that? Or would the massive number of diodes do something different to the sound?

The brown note works wonders for constipation! Just be delicate with the volume knob...

Desoldering isn't too bad if you've got good tools and use leaded solder. I find it to be a huge pain with unleaded solder though, but YMMV. Again, height clearance shouldn't really be an issue since you can clip the legs to be shorter - no reason not to do it tbh instead of just leaving them...

Boxed up the Peachy Fran from Moonn. The Sheepylove drill template worked flawlessly, made that part of the process much easier, and all the IO jacks fit well and work fine even though I use the big outie DC jacks. The pedal itself works and sounds pretty damn good, actually. There was a cold...

You can also just cut the legs shorter. But soldering them to the PCB is probably best if desoldering the sockets is not an issue. Personally I hate desoldering (and it is somewhat risky for me) so I would probably just solder them into the sockets (even though it's probably slightly less...

You're saying like it is a bad thing. I will not be tone shamed for what I do in the privacy of my home with consenting, adult frequencies!

It is often done like you said, but as far as I understand functionally the way they did it works just as well. If you have a lower and a higher forward voltage diode both going to ground in parallel, the lowest forward voltage diode starts conducting first, and at that point it doesn't really...

What is that even? There's no branding of any kind, that's weird.

My guess is that it's a coincidence and there's a cold solder joint in the Spirit Box, so basically the same thing dcfvgb suggested. Probably wiring, but could be some other component too. It's easy to draw a conclusion that an OD before it "broke it" or something, but chances are it's more of...

I'm boxing up a Peachy Fran next, and I just got boards for a Warlow clone and the ROG 22/7 which is a CMOS Muff workalike so pretty much the mirror universe version of what you're up to, I guess.

Thankfully, that's the only way Trump fits the definition of the antichrist! *checks Bible just in case* Oh wait. That's weird. *frantic checking* Oh no.

Boxed up the Valhalla Distortion, fired up first try with no issues and no oscillation. Sure sounds like a VH4 to my ears, pretty powerful EQ options, although I did run it into an amp model, haven't tried it by itself yet. A few small issues in the build itself. In and Power Out jacks were too...

One option is Aliexpress, but tbh from what I've looked at the prices aren't as good as Tayda, the selections is horrible, and the tariffs will still be there of course if you're in the US.

It was already mentioned, and it's the coupling/output cap, it's not going to drop the volume heavily if it's 100nF instead of 1uF. I'm most interested in two of the pots not doing anything, that's a clear sign of something being messed up. I'm going to assume you meant "top left" from the...

Probably a business decision, "TS and Klon and everything in between!" gets the blues lawyers salivating much more than "any experimental sound you want!", I would imagine.

I bought TI TL072's from LCSC (which I believe is trustworthy for stuff like this) for 23 eurocents a piece. Seems like the price has gone up a bit since then, but still... Only downside is you have to buy 50+ to get that price, but I consider it a lifetime supply for 12€, and the price isn't...

Another vote for JTEX, if you go full DIY size is going to be annoying to work with. The JTEX stuff fits right in. I've got an Axtivator in one guitar, a Distiller CE in a bass and I'm planning to put a Boosty McBuffer into a hollowbody this summer, time/energy permitting.

Huh, the 510 looks to be ~24€ with free shipping. That's... shockingly cheap? Like approaching the level of "might as well buy one in case I need it to calibrate bucket brigades at some point" or whatever. Edit: That was the 152 actually, 510 is 33€, didn't check what the difference is - I...
