This is exactly what I do. I tape the outside and fill on the inside. It’s very tough to completely hide the hole outlines but it works. Make sure you do the mix ratio correctly. When I reuse one I flip it over to avoid drilling near the original holes. If the epoxy mix is not hard enough...

Love My Switches has good prices on boxes and pots and a flat shipping fee. Tayda shipping had gotten very expensive for just a few pieces.

Once it was boxed almost all the noise (hum) disapeared. It's not silent through my tube amps but I think that's an issued with them or the exensive cabling. But it is silent through my Blackstar Fly solid state amp on my bench.

I held the J201 chip in place with an alligator clip (smooth, no "teeth") and soldered it as I normally would doing it quickly as possible. I then tested it on my transistor tester to see if it was damaged. Did 3 with no issues.

Thanks. The rig I use to power and do I/O for an unboxed board seems to add noise. I'm going to box this one and see what happens.

The other one was Hot Teacher. I I have at least a couple dozen of these in a drawer. I've been able to resurrect a few. Especially some built years ago when I knew much less about what I was doing in regard sto debugging. I'll wait to post photos. I just found several what were most...

I just got the tester shown above and the SMD J201s have comparable readings. I also have some questionable thru-the-hole J201s where the Idss is reading 0.16ua. Then I tested somes ourced from PedalPCB and their readings compare to the SMDs. Is there anyway to tell what the fake ones really...

The original pedal sounds great so I hope to get close. But I would be happy if the excessive noise goes away. This is my second Sheepylove pedal I built with unacceptable noise. I’ve build many high gain pedals without this much noise.

Finished one today. I still need to test the J201s for Idss and I've got a tester on the way. For now (on a test rig) it's a very high gain distortion and a bit noisy. The testing rig seems to do add noise. The example on the OKKO web site are not quite so insane as what I have for now...

Thanks Robert. I made no assumptions since the thumbnail was part numbers.

Yes. Robert has been pretty responsive in supplying missing docs. The only thing I've found so far in the missing docs thread is a list of parts. Considering how many PCBs are for sale I always assumed there had to be multiple people doing the work.

Does anyone know why the build doc will not be released? From what I gather in the forums the pcb was released around 4 years ago. I would definitely buy it if It had a build doc.

The ones with the parts values on the board are not a problem. But this one just has part numbers. What am I missing?

I have this on my wish list but not buying until a build doc gets posted. Anyone know what the issue is? I've seen parts lists but where do they go on the board?

Thanks! I figured out where the boost and bypass connect but never figured the boost came first. Turning down the boost the entire way doesn't matter much. I need to redial-in the input trimmer. At max I think it pushes the circuit too much. Time to play with it.

I thought the Proposition’s distortion was pretty harsh. I should go back to it and fiddle with it some more. I jsut broke down and bought the Rockman.

I built this last week and seems to work pretty well except for one thing. With the Boost engaged I turn down the Boost pot the whole way and the signal goes silent. It does provide a boost but turning down the boost puzzles me. Is this expected behavior? When looking at the schematic and...

I tested some 100pf caps the other day. They ranged from high 80s to 140+. The closest was 106. The closest bunch came from Tayda.

Thanks everyone for the help! I had reversed the transistors yesterday and finally got a signal but as I mentioned above the tone controls did not work. The black SMD was the problem. On my transistor tester it did not register the same as the blue ones (Tayda sourced). Once I replaced the...

As can be seen, the pcb shows pinouts for thru the hole J201s and based on other successful pedals the only reliable ones I have are the SMD versions. I may try the questionable TTH ones to see what happens.
