my build has plenty of output and sounds nice. IMO, it would be nice to have less distortion with the Dirt control at minimum though.

i did find two more brand new J202's from Mouser and installed them in the sockets. the pedal sounds pretty good but IMO could be improved.

what mods did you do?

just for experimentation, while waiting for the new J202's, i socketed the Jfets and installed J201's in their place, and it sounds exactly the same. Has anyone else built this circuit and is happy with the result? I certainly am not.

i bought the non smd versions. i'm out of them right now but just ordered some more of them.

yes, they're definitely J202's from Mouser. VCC is 9.29V.

they're definitely J202'S (from Mouser). I'm using a onespot power supply.

Q1 pin 1 Drain: 1.016V Q3 pin 1 Collector 2.678V Q4 pin 1 Drain .734V IMO, those seem really low for the Jfets.

the distortion in my build (which i've checked multiple times for errors and found none) just doesn't sound good at all to me. it really doesn't clean up well at all either.

it might help but the distortion doesn't sound right to me either. at least not like the online demos.

i built one using all of the correct transistors and components that i ordered from Mouser, but for some reason it doesn't sound like any of the online demos of the original pedal at all. i had high hopes for it, but unfortunately, i find it to be unusable as a pedal.

i'd like to remove a lot more top end since i find the circuit to be way too bright and fizzy. any ideas?

me too. maybe it was because that i completed the PCB at 4:00 am, but there's really no excuse for that.

i've built quite a few of them (etched my own PCBs for them) and found that the circuit is VERY particular on the choice of J201's used in it.

thanks Eric S! i reverse it and it's 100X better now. i feel like a moron doing that.

wow. good eye! thanks, i'll have to correct that!

it mostly has a faint distortion on the decay of the signal. has anyone else noticed this?

I just finished carefully building a Procrastinator using every component required for the pcb. I got it to work but it's very distorted. I've built over 1000 pedals successfully over the last 20 years including my own etched pcb versions and even a veroboard version about 10 years ago of a slow...

thankyou!

how do you now which ones are R9 and R10? the PCB just has the part values on it and not "R" numbers.
