Sure sounds like you were jumping into a technical discussion to shit on something Maybe try to let others have their opinions and try to understand their points of view before you make yourself look like a hypocrite. It's a trope of guitar players that more guitars = better. The correct...

I mean the footswitch. I see a lot of people using barefoot buttons on their foot switches and this seems to provide a shortcut to that. I've seen hex bypasses around, and they aren't that expensive. Are they more reliable than a relay/555 timer? Is there an SMD version?

I've been dipping my toes in relay bypass as well. I think I'm going to try a side jack 1590b as my first foray. What kind of switch is that?

I thought they were related at first too, the way the schematic is drawn. Both Q5 and the toggle switch section draw from R17. But after playing around with the toggle on and off at various settings of the Pentodes control, it really has no bearing on the way the power amp section of the pedal...

The graphic is hilarious. Nice job!

The toggle switch is very subtle - it just makes the signal a bit brighter and doesn't interact with the Pentodes control. It has a touch more clarity in the up position and I've found that I'd prefer to leave it there. If I built another one of these I would omit it entirely. I like the pedal...

I can check when I get home tonight. You likely have a bad trace somewhere

Why not just invest in a set of really nice pickups and then you don't need a switch with ten options you have to run thru just to find the one that makes shitty pickups sound marginally better? Why make a guitar have 10 voices rather than own 10 guitars? Who has time in the middle of the song...

I have the music nomad one for the toggle switch on my SG - haven't used it yet. In the past I used pliers and was careful. A luthier who helped me with another guitar has the tool Robert linked, and was using it on another SG while I was at his shop a while back. He liked it.

This is an interesting little fuzz. Like a Fuzz Face, the Fuzz dial you pretty much have to dime the Fuzz control to get a good sound, but it's a bit smoother than a FF. It sounds like a more vintage (less refined) version of my Sour Grape fuzz. The tone control is a nice feature. The Fuzz dial...

I've tried to cut back on it for my sanity's sake but for 5 knob layouts I prefer 3 across the top so the knobs make a V shape

With all the controls at half, except the Depth, which is dimed, my Circulator has these results IC3 Voltage readings pin 3 - fluctuates up and down from 0.8v to 6v in a regular frequency pin 4 - same as above but range is 1.5 to 4.8v pin 5 - same as above but range is 2.4 to 6.0v IC5 voltage...

Is the on/off/on toggle switch in the center position? This stops the LFO

I've been on an "amp in a box" kick lately and just finished up this Brownout Overdrive. The pedal art on the original is AC/DC themed with their font and the lightning bolt, but AC/DC was never known for using a variac, so I'm not sure why Subdecay chose that name. The "Brownout" name also...

Yeah, you need the higher voltage cutoff of the LED's to maintain volume. I've built both the 763 and the Super 6. I was expecting them to be similar but they are completely different. The Super 6 relies on diodes for its clipping so the sound is very "squishy" like a Lightspeed would be, while...

I placed an order Sunday night and received it Wednesday afternoon. No enclosures, UPS

yes yes thank you for your input it's very much appreciated

It wasn't too bad. I knew the problem was with the charge pump area because of the voltage issues I was having and there were only a few related components. Last year I was helping a guy on here with his byzantium flanger build which wasn't working. Finding the broken trace on that one was...
