    Hi Jamie, is it possible that on the first build you used an audio taper pot for the output and on the second build a linear taper?

    CONTEST BBDs Baby!

    I don't know, they look very much like a lot of TL072 to me ;) But I really hope I'm wrong

    Pedal round up, the good, the bad and the ugly.

    Pedal that always boomerangs back onto your board? Son of Ben & Paragon (Benson & KoT) I can’t justify both on the board, but I flipflop between them too often to be sensible. The pedal that surprised you most in a good way? Little Green Scream Machine(TS808), I think I was set up from all...

    Pedal round up, the good, the bad and the ugly.

    There are so many PCBs here, many I have no experience of, but it got me thinking that I have a few builds that I built out of curiosity rather than true desire, and others have been a burning, ‘can’t wait to try it out’ builds. I’m guessing many of us are building a respectable collection now...

    Strat appreciation thread

    I write all that and forget to say what it is :oops: It’s an American Series, I think I got it a year or two after they stopped making the American Standard. It comes in at exactly 8lb.

    Strat appreciation thread

    I think I bought it new in 2001, it's back to all original parts now except for the trem block. I did have Custon 54 pickups in it, but they didn't really do it for me at the time… it might be worth trying them again as they are in a spare pick guard so easy to pop in. From the time I bought...

    CONTEST XC Phase

    That's the clearest explanation of chaos theory I've heard so far.

    CONTEST XC Phase

    I've never played with a phaser, I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I've been a closet chorus lover and just didn't want to admit it to myself let alone anyone one else... could phaser be another modulation effect that I want to liberally apply, whether appropriately or not, to my...

    SOLVED Abyss distortion issue

    Sorry, I meant as the phaser sweeps there is a part that emphasises the bass, is this where the distortion occurs? Or is it throughout? The bass seems to overload my amp creating distortion in that part of the sweep if I happen to be playing a lowish note, for a long time I thought it was the...

    SOLVED Abyss distortion issue

    Is the distortion across the whole sweep, or at the bass end of the sweep?

    Ge Transistor looks odd on component tester

    Thank you both. So essentially nothing to worry about?

    Ge Transistor looks odd on component tester

    Hi Fig, the odd thing is that it is only this batch of transistors, I've never tested a transistor and had it show a diode between the Emitter and Collector. before The leakage looks fine at 11 microamps (assuming ICEO can be used as a rough leakage measurement), but I just feel something is...

    Ge Transistor looks odd on component tester

    I've just got 20 1T308B and they all display the diode symbol between the collector and emitter with a forward voltage around 4v on my component tester. I'm new to Ge transistors so it could well be normal for them, but if anyone can shed some light on what it means I would be grateful. My plan...

    Cepheid Chorus Level Mod?

    If you have a look at MB Pork Barrel https://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/FilterMod/schematics/PorkBarrel2019.gif You can see how he's implemented it, but I don't understand how it works, I thought it would just be one end of the pot has the dry signal, the other has the wet signal...

    Measuring LDRs an on going headache

    The GL5516 is for the delegate compressor, I just don't feel is behaving quite right, maybe it's the GL5516, or the LED, but as I can't seem to get hold of any GL5516s that are anywhere close to specification I guess it's a case of putting it to one side for the moment. I might have a go at the...
