You also need to pay attention to the grounding scheme. This is not intuitive. Here is a great post on diystomboxes. Standard, perhaps, but not the best ;) 😂

Sorry I haven't replied! Nothing looks obviously out of order here. It's not immediately clear exactly how it all works without having one in front of me, or a schematic. There certainly is a lot going on. Can you follow traces? If so, do you have access to a signal tracer/oscilloscope? If also...

There are a few possible pain points here. If it's the threshold that's causing the problems, it could be the octo-coupler or maybe the side-chain (i.e. what the octo-coupler is reacting to). Could you post some images of the board? I would maybe start by measuring the resistance of the LDR...

Very interesting developments! Disappointing to here that this sounds... well, disappointing! Absolutely bizarre to have a feature that involves cross-talk between traces.

I have an XO stereo polychorus - I've always wondered how different it would sound to this project.is

There are really only 4. The cathode of D4 and the anode of D3 are tied together. The Fuzz Dog schematic chooses to lay them out like that because that's what it looks like on the PCB. Compare that to the GGG schematic which shows the full bridge rectifier as you might see in an EE textbook...

Haha no worries mate, confusion happens (y) Diodes can be done with a 4PDT. It would just be a pain in the rear because it would involve stitching multiple diodes together at single point. It would truly be the most disgusting toggle switch in the world. I'm considering drawing up the...

Hahah no worries, I've definitely said one when I meant the other before! It's Q2 and Q3 (according to the post you're responding to) that have been switched to germanium, not the diodes ;)

I do believe that would make them soft clipping, not hard clipping, which is where my confusion arrived :)

Very cool! When you said putting a jumper on either side of R21, did you mean putting the diodes to ground before or after that resistor?

Fantastically simple idea - thank you 😂

Hello! I recently purchased a Fuzz Dog PCB, a clone of the Reeves Supa J fuzz - itself a silicon based take on the Tone Bender Mk II/Marshall Supa Fuzz. But I repeat myself :P Has anyone here got any info on what value hfe I should be looking at on these? The build docs don't specify what to...

Sorry, an above unity gain buffer at the end of the fx loop haha. But now that I'm thinking about it, if you were to be very pedantic, a good quality opamp buffer before the fx loop would offer much better performance than a basic CC buffer of a BJT... it probably doesn't matter, but dual...

Sounds like a cool idea! I'd probably just stick with the ocataver personally. Definitely stick a buffer in there if you're doing that. (y)

Since this is gonna be on my bass rig, a PedalPCB ocelot looks like it's gonna find it's way into this one haha

That does make sense to me. Personally I would use an clean boost for those purposes, but I can understand wanting that volume built in to the unit! Hahah I should thought of this myself tbh. You've sold me on the concept! Indeed they are. It's generally 1 minus a bit of loss from the voltage...

Hmmm... I'm not really sure I understand the use case of that. I usually try to keep my drive pedals at around unity, maybe a bit more for cutting through a mix. Can you explain to me your thought process for an above unity clean blend? Genuinely curious, as it could make me open my eyes to the...

Every one of his videos makes me want as many octavers as I can reasonably fit on my floor.

Hello! I recently got a Brassmaster PCB from Fuzz Dog (pedalparts.co.uk) and I was wondering if anyone here has any interesting mods they know of for this pedal. I really like Zachary Rizer's demo of the Hiero B.E.A.D. and I'd like to add some the functionality of that unit to my build. One of...

Hahah yeah that would work! Completely overlooked that. Bear in mind, that won't work for unbalanced signals. You'd still need either a transformer or an active solution
