I followed the build doc with a B10k

Hey guys, fairly new builder here. Got a volume pot question. The volume really explodes at 9 o'clock so it's a bit difficult to dial in the volume. Any suggestions on how to get a more even taper?

Just started building the Soul Drive and I’m also curious about the TP1 on the board. Can anyone chime in on this?

Really like the finish on those enclosures. Where did you purchase them? Thx!

Put a 10k resistor across the volume pot to lower it to a 5k. Worked great. Lot more control over the sweep instead of exploding at 9 o'clock.

I did mention the idea of using a 1k volume pot instead of a 10k based on Robert suggesting a C1k replacement on the... hmmm I can't remember which pedal (it was a fuzz pedal I'm sure) to give more travel as you turn up the volume, instead of it exploding at one end or the other. I'm not far...

I love this pedal as well. One trick pony but for psych leads it kills. Thanks for getting back

Reposting a question. Is there a mod I can do to have a wider spread on the Beatle Juice's volume? It gets super hot all of a sudden at 9 o'clock. Maybe a B1k pot.

Thanks for the post. I wonder if lowering the pot value to 1k might spread the sweep out over the range. Such a cool take on the fuzz. Anybody else got a thought on this? Thanks(y)

The volume pot on this fuzz cranks up really quickly. At 9 o'clock the pedal is already blazing and it's so sensitive at that point that it's hard to dial it in. Would a C pot make it more flexible in it's adjustment. C10k or C1k? I'm a fairly new builder so I'm walking a bit blind here. Thx

Good grief, you were right. Works now. Total brainfart. I've built enough pedals that I should have known better. Thanks for the help. Cheers(y)

Just finished the Anvil Fuzz. Works as should, sounds great, but no LED. I test all components before soldering. My multi-function tester indicated the LED was fine. Desoldered it and dropped another tested LED in. Pedal still works but still no LED. Did my best not to ruin the pads when...

Worked like a champ. Thx(y)

Building the Beatle fuzz. Just realized I've got four 10uf filter caps left and need five for the build. Can I use a 22uf in any one of the five positions? Thx

Ha, indeed! All good. Thx

Ok so mostly NOS English production (Mullard) is about all I can find. Might purchase from an English supplier but will start the 1N4148 diodes and evaluate. Thanks for getting back.

The build docs on the Beatle Juice Fuzz call for OA200 diodes on D1 & D2. It says next to that DO-35. Am I safe to assume that means it's calling for a 1N4148? Thx

Good deal. Thanks for the feedback(y)

I'm halfway through my Aberration build and just realized I don't have any BC107B transistors on hand. Quick search informs me that a BC547 can work as a sub. Can anyone chime in on this? Thx

Gotcha. Thanks for getting back so quickly.
