Can anyone chime in on the (analog versions of the) Boss CE-5 vs CH-1? I've got a PCB worked out for the main board of the CE-5, but also working on a CH-1. I will almost certainly do the depth mod on the CE-5. Just curious if one is a richer/fuller chorusing over the other? It's always puzzled...

Or is it the overall architecture & transistors used which give a particular version its sound? Thinking in terms of Green Russian vs Triangle vs Violet Ram's Head, etc. In short, is the particular tone stack config the KEY, or is that only a small part of it?

I'm revisiting the Electrictabs Boogeyman (Mesa Mark II emu) pedal, but with additional mods/options onboard. It has a Gain and Volume control (in addition to a Master Vol). My question is: if I wanted a 2nd drive control to put on a footswitch (i.e. like having two gain level options), would...

Just inquiring on the update/status/availability of the Seek-Wah and Seek-Trem boards. I've been on a trem/slicer kick lately and would love to add these to my lineup.

I'm doing a fresh build of my Dr. Boogey, and looking for a chrome domed-type knob, but with an indicator. The ones on the NUX Recto look perfect, but those are almost certainly fabbed for NUX. I saw some at Tayda, but they are only for pots with knurled posts. Any ideas?

Just curious if anyone knows (yet) if the JCM800 and 1959 (Marshall pedals) have the same architecure, just different part values? Or are they completely different circuits? Marshall put all of these in nearly identical configs (same pedal enclosures, all have four knobs), so I'm wondering if...

Are there mods to convert the Stagecoach to standard (non-FWW) BUSS specs? If it's a totally different animal, I get it. Just wanted to check before I get started populating this board.

I'm building a Mayonaise III clone, and it uses a BAT47 in line with the incoming 9V rail. I'm not finding these readily available anywhere - is there a viable substitute for this application? Thanks

Despite having several tweed-inspired ODs on hand, I've got the itch to build a CB Formula 5. Problem is, I want to ID the version of the one below, but can't seem to find a solid answer - I have all ideas it's the version 2. Can anyone confirm?

Stupid question, as I can (probably) adjust DOWN to the necessary range using a 1K trimpot. I'm just not sure if there is a 'sweet range' and it needs a 500R to dial it in easier. If you can't tell, I don't have a 500R at the moment and I'm itching to get this done this weekend. :cool:

I'm almost done with my Derailer build, with the exception of the 2.2uF MLCCs (caps C12, 13 & 14). I've heard too many things about X7Rs having issues with capacitance drift when voltage is applied; I picked up some 100V X7S caps for these spots, but want to run it by the forum before soldering...

Am I missing something or are the Guv'nor and the Alexander Jubilee the same thing? Looking at the PPCB Appetizer schematic and the factory one for the Marshall Guv, they APPEAR to be the same circuit. About the only thing I can tell that's different is the cap across IC pins 1 & 2: it's 100p...

Quick question: Which direction are the 'Normal' and 'Linked' settings on the Indiana Tweed OD? I'm assuming Normal is UP, Bright is in the middle and Linked is DOWN, but need confirmation for the graphics I'm working on. Thx!

For those folks using Vero/stripboard these days, where are you sourcing yours? I got some good, semi-transparent (greenish-yellow?) stuff years ago, but can't remember where. Maybe Newark?

I've seen more than one of the Galileo Mk IIs around, but not the Mk I. I bought one out of the special runs one of the members of Diystompboxes did YEARS ago; that one got hosed during a rebulld, and I'd like to find a viable replacement (other than going stripboard).

Per the schematic above, has anyone ever increased the value of C10 (across pins 5 & 7 on the MN3101) to add more depth? This is apparently a popular mod for the (analog) CE-5, so in theory, the same could apply here. I've always heard that the CH-1 sounds amazing, but is more subtle than...

Sorry, I haven't checked over on FSB, but was just curious: does the stock Friedman Smallbox OD use the same BAV99 diodes for clipping that the BE and DS ODs use?

Troubleshooting a little buzz when I'm playing - this is on the Complex OD and Lead Solder OD, but the question is in general - noticed something with the grounding, and I'm wondering if there is some redundancy going on. If so, it could be a culprit for extra noise due to a ground loop? I know...

What is the best way to toggle between two capacitor values, when (the larger) one is an electrolytic and the other is not? Was thinking about a plain 'ol DPDT with the larger cap soldered across the center lugs, and the other cap across one set of the outer lugs. (C1 and C1+C2 options) My...

I built out a DS-1 recently using all off-board wiring. I used 22 AWG from Smallbear. It's generally ok, but I so stiff if you have a lot of wiring going on inside the case. I had to make some changes to the DS-1 build, so I rewired it up, using all 24 AWG this time; I was running out of 22 AWG...
