Absolutely, I will take time out from my full-time Covid response job to tick all the boxes in internet forums.

Zombie thread... But the answer is yes.

Does anyone know how many dB of boost the 6-band EQ gives? Can't find it detailed anywhere... Tia,

I completed my Thumb Sucker build yesterday... having already built two other versions (FuzzDog, DeadEndFX) I noticed that this one is slightly different in terms of components and specific component values, and in operation seems to be a little more subtle although you can get extreme...

B50K pots throughout. Maybe build the potentiometer version and see how that works out for you?

Finished my potentiometer 6 band EQ build today, which gratifyingly worked first time. Sole departure from recommended components was bipolar electrolytic 1uf caps instead of film as I had them to hand. I tested the build with a noise generator and it gives very effective EQ in the various...

Actually I only tried C3, C4 and R29 then gave up and put the blend circuit in...

Building the 6-band EQ and wondering about mods to make the bands a little more bass-friendly... maybe take band 1 down to 50Hz etc. Any suggestions based on cutoff frequency calculation for the filters?

My standard Ocelot build works fine with bass.

I'm probably reading this wrong but it looks like C3 + 100K dry pot is making a simple passive RC hpf, and C4 with R7, R29 and IC2.2 is making an active hpf... not sure though how the filter inputs though R8 and R28 might affect all that. Disclaimer: I am no electronics engineer so feel free...

It's the blender circuit, but an onboard mod would be far better if someone gets one working... I probably didn't try enough alternate cap values. Front view is very plain, just black with purple knobs.

It was a 100% stock build and works perfectly except for the LF loss in the dry path. I also thought C3 / C4 would have the desired effect and if you calculate the relevant cutoff frequencies that would seem to support that idea, but swapping those caps out didn't have any effect - hence my...

Already tried C3/C4 with no success, my guess is the LF loss is happening between IC1 and R5. Anyhow with the blend circuit now in place I'm going to stop experimenting, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone finds an onboard fix sometime.

Happy to say this is fixed with an offboard mod... I have dropped the dry pot from the Chaos Machine and in its place is the blend pot from a Fuzzdog Blender pcb. I had to experiment with pot values as the recommended 100k pot didn't work well but a 10k pot is giving me ideal results. This pedal...

Here it is... went a little too far up with the pots really while trying to make sure there was room for the side jacks but the knobs aren't overhanging:

I think I spotted it... switch wiring mistake - GND and SW are the wrong way round.

A the moment I'm experimenting with a buffered blend circuit from FuzzDog, not quite there but I think it will do what i want.

Finished my Ocelot build tonight... it works! Tracking is surprisingly good with bass, really quite fast and accurate. Just a couple of tiny problems that aren't really problems... first is with the footswitch in the off position there is still some current getting to the LED, not much but it's...

Well none of that worked :) Hoping for suggestions...

I've built my Chaos Machine and just got it working after a minor build issue, it's a great pedal but reduces lower frequencies of the dry signal and I'd like to use it on bass... looking at the schematic I am thinking that IC2.2 along with C4, R7 and R29 are making an active high-pass filter...
