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

Is that a black foot switch?

Decided to get some time under the iron this morning before work. I pulled out a newer board (Lead Solder Overdrive) and noticed that pot values are also labelled on the backside of the board. Definitely saves me the 0.13574 seconds to turn it over multiple times while putting the pots in...

I think you just gave yourself a challenge

Huh. I was right.

I’m pretty sure I did this for one of Chuck’s contests a few years ago. Every component I used had the number 1 in it. It wasn’t a requirement, but I thought I would give myself a challenge.

Djent 🤮 Thrash and Death 🤘

I just want to see who's got the best "chugs" here. Bring your Slayer A-Game

Another contest idea. Anybody want to have a "best riff" contest? It's gotta be from your own noodling and not somebody else's riff. Phone clips are allowed. Like, "best riff" through a Rat, Clean through a delay, etc. Those categories

Nice, clean build! Can you compare this to a Mercurial Boost? Better? Worse? Same?

Get a good amp that has the dirt characteristic you like. You won't need 90%+ of the pedals you make.

Im assuming that GPCB Roto-Tone board is a mod board. I have one of those and they definitely come in handy even while using a breadboard. I can keep playing and turn the rotary switch to instantly hear the different in components.

Stickman and I are cooking something up for you folks. Stay tuned....

I have not. Got a schematic? A Muff is a Muff, IMO, regardless of the component values chosen. Or I just don't know how to use it other than a maxxed out sustain knob.

I've got a lot of BMP in my collection. And I don't really like any of them.

I found this pretty helpful for the fuzz side of things. To my knowledge there really isn't a comprehensive "Family Tree" out there. https://sites.google.com/site/davidmorrinoldsite/home/trouble/troubleeffects/fuzz?authuser=0

Your best bet is to research the "classics" under the hood and be able to discern the different topologies. A muff looks VERY different than a rat or tubescreamer on a schematic. Then start branching out from there. You biggest hurdle, IMO, will be fuzz territory unless you do your homework on...

Ok. So, I think I’ve got a pretty good idea what the next contest based on the responses here. I will need someone to help judge. There might be some hating involved… DM me or respond here if interested here. First legit response gets the job
