I've also used 1n914 / Bat 41 for asymmetrical clipping...sounds pretty great. Socket the diodes.

It still makes noise with them reversed oddly enough, i did the same thing. Cheers

Yeah dude, you got the knack...keep that up.

Thx a bunch!

Anyone build the Dingo (Alpha Dog) and if so where did you get the W1M pot? My usual vendor has W20K only. Thanks gang!

Thx man, I did put the time in. Its a great circuit, i bet you'll like it once you get it boxed up.

I really love it. It totally nails those David Gilmour tones, but is just a great BMP on its own. Not muddy or overly bassy at all, easy to dial in. This one has the BC550C trannies, i built another with 2N5089's and it sounds to me a little brighter.

my jig wasn't exactly set up right on this one and the top bent slightly when i punched the enclosure for its dc jack. You can only tell with the back off so no biggie.

Built for a friend who said he wanted an LSD themed graphic...turned out pretty great. These boards are terrific.

Thx Ambusch, these were grounded out in both positions...haven't gone back to it since removing the switch, but i'm confident that was the problem.

Oh i'd love a diagram of the traces

One of my previous Kliche builds...really like these boards. Bought 18 boards in total.

Thx for the replies gang. Just removed the switch and the short is gone. Switch was wired properly so internal fault perhaps. Thx again!

It is the Ge diodes. I'm a clinical engineering tech and have proper training so I'm positive heat is not the issue...pads are intact.

I'm not sure if the pcb is bad or the switch but all 4 diode pads are shorted to gnd. I'm going to replace the switch tonight, thought maybe someone else has seen this. I bought a few of these boards and the rest are solid.

Thx TGG! I assumed as much, but have burned myself before.

Has anyone run the covert on 18V? I believe the Catalinbread dls iii can run on 18V safely. Having a headroom option is appealing to me. Thx.
