https://www.talkbass.com/threads/oc-2-clipping.1027629/ Here is said thread for all interested

Aha! I finally found a useful thread discussing this. They mention increasing R6 instead, this is where my electronics knowledge takes a dive - is there an advantage to changing r5 VS r6? They're both used to set the gain of the input.

I mentioned this to him yesterday, I dunno if he wants to run a comp. Dude is kinda a pain but he's a friend and I love him so here we are lol. I basically sold this to him at build cost so I've been attempting to find solutions that don't take up a ton of my time

The worst part is my bass is low enough output that it doesn't clip lol, so even if I get it to stop clipping the guitars, I won't know until he plugs in. He plays in a pop/rock cover band, dude needs to get a Jazz Bass and call it a day lol. Only time I use the OC2 I've built myself is for CKY...

My 7 string with Fishmans clips this, as does my Les Paul which is just high output passives, but I assume there's no way that's hitting the rails, so I'm thinking the buffer may be the fix. It's easy enough to try, I just don't know if it'll ultimately cause unwanted level drop. I'll try...

Certainly can't hurt to try lol

Nice! I attempted to squeeze this circuit onto a board that would fit a 1590B (by request), it was my first attempt at laying out a PCB...doesn't work lol. I do have signal at the end, but none of the knobs do anything and I have no octaves :ROFLMAO:. I will report back after trying a different...

It is in the non pitched signal too, this is a good point! I'll give this a shot tonight, thanks!

Yeah, just unfortunate that I tested with a lower output guitar lol. The guy who I sold this one to (I sold him two at the same time) said it just started, but I think that's untrue based one what I'm seeing now. He's got a five string active Ibanez bass that I assume is just rocking one of the...

I did try searching first and was unable to find anything already posted about this. I'll try swapping out some 072s, though I just built another set of four and they're all doing it. I did some googling and apparently this is an issue even in the original circuit, it doesn't like super hot...

Also, FWIW, I have now built I think 10 of these circuits and never had this issue. It's very weird lol

I built an ocelot for a buddy several months ago, and all of a sudden about a week ago he complained that it was doing weird things. I met up with him today, and it's definitely distorting when hit hard (he's playing a bass with pretty hot active pups). I tested it on a few guitars and my...

I can do that, but I first wanted to see if they ever actually solved their issue

So did you actually fix this? I'm having a similar issue and have not been able to chase it down. I've built a ton of pedals at this point (200+) so my troubleshooting skills are pretty solid lol, my voltages are reasonable and all the solder joints look fine, I reflowed them just in case. The...

Awesome, thank you!

This is less of a troubleshooting question than one I'm asking to prevent needing to troubleshoot later - for the key input on the Muzzle (not the pass through setup, just the single input that you would run from a splitter/tuner etc), the "switched tip" is the contact that gets broken when a...

I can, but I think it's a bit unnecessary lol. It's on an isolated 9V one spot wall wart with nothing else in the signal chain, so I don't think either of those should be the issue. I've built enough pedals and this is simple enough that I don't think it's a build issue, was mostly just curious...

Did either of you end up figuring this out? I built mine, the noise floor is kind of high in the low gain mode, but almost unusable in the high gain mode. There's an extremely loud persistent whine in the high gain mode (almost as loud as the signal level itself when playing), curious if anyone...

The dry signal comes through fine, so I suspect it's clipping one of the op amps after the pt2399 somehow.

I unfortunately don't have the pedal anymore, the dude I sold it to does but he said the only thing that changed it was his neck VS bridge. The amount of distortion he's getting is way more than what comes from a pt2399 though, it was pretty absurd lol he sent me a short video that's too big to...
