Thanks for the support and tips folks! I think I got the build where I like it, and the only change I did was to replace the trim from 10k to 50k. Then rather than use a DMM to measure Q1 I biased by ear - blend, compressor, release knobs maxed, attack lowest setting, level at unity, then while...

Thank you @andrewsrea and @hamerfan for the advice

Much appreciated @andrewsrea - going to digest this a bit and try sourcing 5457's I could try out, and follow your biasing/testing advice. Hopefully if I run into stuff I can always ask back here :) Is it a bad idea to play around with the biasing network in order to reach the prescribed Vgs...

Hello @andrewsrea my apologies for reviving this post but I have a question about the biasing. Q1 vgs is at about 1.4 for me at the max of the trim pot. Could this be the reason why any setting past 9:00 on the compress pot gives me distorted signal? I use 2n5457 from Tayda, and OPA2134 for all...

Hi wonderful folks, I am having a hard time troubleshooting a Kliche Mini I am building. The gain pot is misbehaving and I could not understand why. To give a background, I am experimenting on some mods I read on the Coda Effects site, specifically: More gain (decrease Kliche R9 value) Fat...

For anyone running into this issue in 2025, this fixed the issue for me as well. I had initially tucked the in/out wires from the jack to be tucked under the solder side (so when you open the bottom of the pedal they are hidden) but apparently this was causing them to pick up the LFO ticks...

Hello folks, first post but I've been lurking around and getting lots of helpful info. I have already built a Caesar and am looking to build a second one with some mods. One of them would be a rate switch similar to how I've modded my TC Electronics Tailspin (using this procedure) so I think I...
