I was referring to modeling stuff like the Kemper or NAM, but in this case to the Quad Cortex capture version 2. It's spot on for the ones I've done personally (the Sasquatch II, a Muff with a germanium transistor which gave it a touch of gating, plus a toggleable green ringer was captured...

Thanks to both of you! Partially for helping me realize that "breadboard it" is probably the best way to approach it in the future if I build more Tone Benders, and partially to help me realize that aiming for the "perfect Tonebender in every aspect" is probably not helpful. I was somewhat...

Yes, I know, there's a bunch of threads and a whole lot of information online. And that's really my issue. I've seen some advice which aims for hFE around ~100 or so, with leakage around 200uA or so, like here...

I do more or less the same thing, because I duplicate the text, expand the one that is "behind" a bit, turn it into white, and merge all the color layer parts into one layer. That layer is then duplicated and turned into the white spot color (more or less - if there's pure black then that gets...

The Octoking is done! An Octavia with extra controls, it seems, DIP switches and all. It fixes my #1 complaint with some other octave fuzzes, which is that they're too thin for my taste. Also stacks really nicely with other drives, as long as vol and drive are low enough to not make cause too...

Can you post a pic of the board? From what I can see on the schematic, assuming the markings in red are where the R.Attack differs from the RAT, the most important ones are the different filter values in the op amp feedback loop, the compensation cap being larger, and the clipping diodes being...

I got started in Audacity. I think I recorded MIDI drums from Guitar Pro into that somehow, for the very first stuff I did?

That's a fair point. The one I linked seems to take solder quite easily, at least.

Have you considered using ATmedium1616 or maybe even ATbig16161? I think AThuge1616 would be overkill for sure.

Looking at the pictures should help to clear it up a little bit. Something like https://www.taydaelectronics.com/small-stripboard-93x55mm-copper.html with the "strips" works for veroboard layouts like this https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2023/09/thorpy-fx-dane.html, where the strips are in...

That is valid, but then again, wouldn't be the first case of overkill over here... Quite a lot of wants vs. needs around this, and hobbies in general - and that's completely fine IMO.

Since you're on Mac, I vote for Garageband to start with. You can look at other DAW's later on. Logic is a great option on Mac, I use Reaper but I'm on Windows. I pretty much agree with all the other stuff said here too, although FWIW I've done all my recording, mixing and mastering on...

Butt Head Distortion looks to be the standard PPCB 4 knob layout, so you can take the drill template from https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb251/ for example. The trick I do to check those sometimes is that I open both build docs (one with a verified Tayda drill link and one without) in...

And then you only take apples for lunch?

I assume it might also be (at east partially) a case of the effect being very small amounts of audible distortion you can maybe hear in pristine conditions on good monitors, trained ears, and only listening to this signal, for example. ...and the pedal is a fuzz. So nobody can really say if it...

They're just really accurate with stock and have just enough paint left to do a single 125B, but not anything bigger?

If you want to stick with the turret board (I understand it's for aesthetic reasons, which is of course completely fine), I can't help with that, maybe someone else can chime in. Personally, if I had to do something like that, I would just wire the diodes offboard. Using an SPDT for clipping...

Ohm and 0 gets especially tricky because sometimes the symbols can be partially cut off by the pads on PCB's. That's also why I agree, 100r would be better than 100R. Thankfully PPCB boards are always very clean about this and I don't remember seeing it happen, but it does happen on some other...

Thanks for the transistor values, I need to choose the final transistors for mine still! I've had two builds where I'm pretty sure I've had actual smoke come out of them (IIRC it might have been transistors that had only 2/3 of their legs in sockets?) but I unplugged them immediately, and...

I've only used the Quad Cortex model they recently added, but according to some Dumble players on Youtube videos (so take it with a grain of salt, of course) it's very, very close to the real thing. However, it's just... not really my thing? The touch sensitive and dynamic clean-edge of...
