Honest question: Do I rip out my old Swollen Pickle perfboard that I have (that works, but seems blanket-y) and make it more Pink Panther-y? Or do I tweak it to make it sound good? It has the quad opamp transistor package at its heart. Thanks for the response - I've been really conflicted with...

Are you going out from at amp to a 2x12? Because I’ve always used a 12a with the shunt tip. I’ve never done stereo setups so it might be different.

Oh yeah. Gotta make two similar pedals: one with lacquer and one with poly. For science. Welp, two ringstingers it is!

Guess it’s time to burn all of my Lovetone project boxes. I was going to put them in nice wood enclosures with stained maple tops, but now I know my quest is foolish.

Did you cut the carbon fiber plate yourself?

You’re doing awesome! I think you might be okay with noise. I did a really terrible job in a rack mount Marshall 3 channel I slapped together with a hot rodded JCM channel. I used Sushi’s power supply SMPS. I don’t have much trouble, minus some light him, but that could be the not great...

This guy does great testing. Very thorough in his setup and trying to make it fair testing.

I was making the joke to the extremely loud volume of a Twin amp. Sorry, I internetted poorly.

WHAT?

The only line I can think of from that sketch is “Really, how dinky is your wang?”

Hey, that 3PDT toggle looks familiar 😆

isn’t it because engineers design the product effectively and correctly, at which point the bean counters make them redesign it until it hits a price point?

Something is shorting against the lid and killing the signal. Double check where leads and wire go. Maybe something is missed or getting pressed against the box.

So, the big issue I see is not getting the right voltage in the heaters. You should (not sure of sushi’s scheme) have 6.3V on 4,5,9. So, there’s an issue somewhere in the heater section. This makes the tube glow and conduct. Otherwise, the other voltages appear “normal”.

I’m listening through my crappy iPhone speakers and hear that decay. It sound thought I heard it before he even clicked the pedal on. It sounds like a really weird frequency that the guitar/amp/pedal resonance at to have weird responses. But I don’t know a thing. I just play for fun, build...

Wait, you’re telling me I DON’T have to hoard PCBs?

Honestly, I’m thinking Shredmaster. Omit the clip toggle and move the contour to a smaller pot in the middle.

I would, but I made a 1590a rat that is pretty dang good. Just trying to use up what I have on hand to keep costs down.

I’m not afraid of flying leads. Does it turn into the spaghetti monster? Yep, does it work? Yep.
