This was on my bench yesterday. Many thanks to @Fever2112 for sharing his gerbers for his Peak DCA75 breakout board. I decided to forgo the banana plug on this iteration and made some loops with buss wire to clip my DCA leads to. The ZIF socket is a faux-Textool from Amazon but works very...

I'm glad to see you building and reporting:)

The Poison Apple "can" be somewhat laid back with low input. (E.g., single coils) But since I run a compressor at the beginning of my chain that's always on, it's less of an issue. When I used an autowah, I'm generally not going for the Jerry Garcia thing, I like it to be subtle and in the...

My Old Fashioned also has a higher noise floor than the Diamond Peak. But not distractingly so. Not as much as my SD-1, which is often distracting to me. Especially since I mainly use it to boost an already dirty amp, and my Friedman is plenty noisy on its own on the higher gain settings.....

I tried this conversion as well but borked something along the way. Mine sounded like total ass. I'm sure I did something wrong, I wouldn't expect "total ass" from either Marc Ahlfs or @Chuck D. Bones :ROFLMAO:

Well crap, now I need to re-house mine in a 1590b!!!

Oh yah, absolutely you "need" both...... :p

Hey, when did you grow your bear and hair out? The man bun is a good look on you.

This is really a sleeper pedal. It's basically a stripped down Tubescreamer, but that describes 90% of the overdrives out there...:D. But it's voiced really well and I think it sounds awesome. Even if I don't play any SRV stuff on it hahah.

Ok, this is picking up the convo from @MattG 's build report of his Old Fashioned I mentioned in that thread and in my original post that I used 2N3904's. When I looked at them to do my mods, I realized that they were BC549's. So this is where things get weird. The PCB has pads for 2N5172's...

I don't. Keep in mind that in both circuits, adding the bass will add gain.

Um......you build pedals?.......(didn't I ask this same question 4 years ago when you built your last pedal? :ROFLMAO: )

And while I don't particularly like his solo music, Hiram Bullock's solo on "Stink's" version of Little Wing is absolutely killer and worth listening to.

Back in the early 90's Sting cancelled a concert for no good reason in my area. All the local radio stations started calling him "Stink" because of it. The name has stuck. My wife and I know who we're talking about when we say "Stink" or refer to "Stink". It's pretty funny actually....... :ROFLMAO:

Hey Matt, I used 2n3904's just because. I did not think to dig deeper into the NPN spec's. But now I'm thinking about building a second one with sockets and try some lower gain NPN's. It made a pretty big difference on the Diamond Peak, I'm guessing it's going to make a difference on the Major...

Looks like the same concept as the DOD MilkBox. (Creamery Compressor)

@Fever2112 Just got my boards in from JLC, WOOT! I think I will leave my DCA stock and solder some loops to the Banana plug pads. Now I need to find a ZIF connector and I'll be all set! Thanks so much man!

Damn, you KNOW this is like porn showing me a glamour shot of a compressor I don't have..........

And this..... .....I often have to look up my own build reports to see what something is hahahaha

This....
