My inventory build contest. The Player Haters Ball. Despite all the memes on there it’s a legit build contest.

Nice job!!

Not bad for a first stripboard build! The key off board wiring is keeping the wire lengths to a minimum. Oh, and feel free to ignore this, but you should submit this in our contest. You can win prizes!

Vero builds absolutely count! Kudos to you for doing your own layout. I also have issues sometimes with rattle cans. Sand the bare enclosure first a bit, then the primer. A few clear coats on top and then wait a few DAYS to fully cure. You’ll get marginally better results. Or I suck at spray paint.

He's DIY that knows a commercial guy...

But what if that's your day job?

If you really want to get into modifications and find out "what component does what" I would suggest breadboarding an OD along with doing some research on opamps (inverting vs non-inverting) and tone controls. Breadboarding seems intimidating until you do it once successfully. There are tons of...

A Klon is known more for it's EQ characteristics than it's gain settings. Like, if you make a tubescreamer with a mid scoop it's not a TS anymore. Once you start veering away from a stock Klon you'll be walking a gray line. My advice is to see if you like a stock Klon first before going down the...

DIY people are toan chasers. Commercial guys aren't. Very few people, if any, get into DIY with the original intention of making money. It happens to be a byproduct for some.

You can always put the washer on the inside.

Take a look at the Test Kitchen forum. There are tons of breadboarding tutorials with lots of hand holding. Breadboarding is intimidating until you actually do it and then wonder why you were worried in the first place.

Had to do a double take. I thought you soldered all your components on the wrong side of the board. Then I saw it was an Aion build. Either way, nice job.

Your charge pump is your first problem. Pins 1 and 8 should be around 9V which you mention above. Pin 5 should be -9V or close to it. Where did you get your charge pump? Could be a fake or got damaged.

Also, that's a pretty sweet audio probe you built.

To use the audio probe, plug your amp into the jack and connect ground to one of the ground point on the circuit. You'll need to inject some sort of signal going into the circuit (a looper pedal works great here). Trace through the schematic (this circuit is pretty ambitious for your first go...

For 1-knobbers, a chicken head.

You’re gonna need a bigger knob for that. Nice build and you’ll get no hate from me here 😛

That’s your issue. The pedal is tuned for guitar, not bass. There are better bass OD pedals out there. You might want to look up Chuck Bones bass klon for low end OD territory.

I think it's just design preference. They both accomplish the same goal (polarity protection), but go about it in different ways. I think any schottky diode will work there since they all have very low forward voltage.

THe jack isn't fully dead yet. You could probably get away with some solder just to finish testing here. Being careful, of course
