Thats on my list to buy for myself actually! I just bought myself a dodgy clone of a jan ray very cheap from a not very reputable effects manufacturer and I'm really surprised at how much I like it. You're totally right, if I had to describe it I'd say halfway between my Tim and a screamer!

I've built one and it is a good one, I might lend it to him to see what he thinks. I use it primarily as a boost to boost high gain stuff and it sounds good with almost anything. Just checked out Aion too, they got lots of goodies there.

Thats an interesting prospect too, I've seen the Aion name round a bit here and have been meaning to check them out, is it the same set up as here with the PCB's and all?

Thanks, I'll have a read through

Landgraff, another one I haven't heard of, I'll look into that one too!

I had barely heard of the plimsoul until now, maybe I'll build one for my self as well. I build the pedalpcb plumes and I must say its one of my favourite TS styles. I've heard lots about the frost drive too, seems to get a good wrap.

Great suggestions thanks guys I'll check them out

Thanks for the reply, I'll check them out. I had a bad monkey when I was a teenager for a short while, didn't really know what it was capable of back then. Laughing about it now, preferred the grunge pedal and sold the bad monkey!

Hi all, Probably a stupid question as the title thread, but I would love some suggestions. I have a friend who has asked me to build him a drive pedal. He has only been playing for a year or so, and I let him use a slightly modified (switch for bright and bass response) TS9 based pedal. Anyway...

Turns out I'm a moron. I have to apologise to everyone for wasting their time, and I really appreciate everyones efforts. I generally use metal LED Bezels on my builds, the chrome ones. No drilling template with this one, but It's all good I'm a builder, I got this! Thought I'd be real efficient...

I dont know how to explain this, but if the pcb is in the enclosure with nothing tightened up but the foot switches and I push up on the pot shafts pushing them away from the enclosure the effect starts to work, as sson as I let go, it stops working. This happens with every pot, both green side...

I dont have a looper unfortunately, its definitely on the list. I have a reasonable feeling its the tone pot of the green channel. The effect cuts in and out a bit more so when it is wiggled than the others. Everytime I put it in the box it doesnt work, but will work evrytime out. Is it possible...

I'll have a look, gotta pull it out of the box again anyway, am I supposed to get more than just buzzing when I touch the audio probe to components?

yes, there has to be something going on though, should i probe it while its together, or pull it out again and see what i can see?

OK, Reflowed every solder joint to make sure they were good before I used the audio probe. Effect works outside of the box, doesnt work inside the box. Something must be grounding out or shorting right?

Cool, are they in the build docs for the circuit boards for the green side?

Will do

That looks pretty simple. So just follow the schematic (of which there isnt one on this build) and follow the signal till it stops and that is the problem area?

I'll check it out

whats that about the school canoe? I'd like to, but I don't have an audio probe, or really know what to do with one. Is it something I buy or something I make?
