Since I haven't diagnosed the very low output problem with my Boogie Monster yet, I decided to build up an etched pcb version that I created a couple of years ago and it works properly. I'm still going to try to get my Pedalpcb version working by using a tone generator and a scope to find out...

for me, it makes it a lot easier for testing before mounting it in an enclosure

no, i use a relayed true bypass so the wiring is stress reliefed.

BTW, here's a pic of my PCB build:

well, replying to my own post, i still can't get hardly any output form the circuit and i've checked the connections and my soldering multiple times. time to trace the signal on my scope.

got it to bias up perfectly, but overall it has VERY LOW signal. i can hear that all of the knobs are working but it has almost no output. i'll just have to go over it and find out where the problem is.

i can't get Q2 to bias and i've tried 3 different J201's (pcb mounted type).

it's similar to a 4558, but it has a faster slew rate.

I just finished these three (two of them last night) and they all sound great and have a relayed true bypass: Sherwood Drive (Earthquaker Devices Westwood): Aion Empyrean (darkglass Alpha Omega). Lots of components! At first I tried original MC33178's, but ended up using JRC4559DD's...

just finished these two pedalPCB Catalinbread pedals and IMO, both sound really good. I labeled the enclosures with the Catalibread logos since i just built them for myself and that way i can keep track of what they are. Windmill/ WIIO: Prince Albert (RAH):

i built a nein fuzz and also own the original Fairfield 900. my nein works pretty well and sounds good but it doesn't have anywhere near the same amount of fuzz as the original and i used my Peak DCA75 to measure my J201 Jfets to use the set that matched as closely as possible to the spec sheet.

i love mine too:

i built the Argentum and i actually like it a lot. I also own the Jackson Audio 1484 and IMO, it sounds identical to the pedalpcb version.

it's been a while ( and my old computer crashed) so i no longer have it, but i do still have the two board layouts that i used to make them for it: this one filters the 28 volt power supply (wall wart type): and this one supplies all of the necessary voltages:

i just use the extra holes for them.

I had a request to build a few of these years ago and then someone wanted one about two weeks ago, so I built one for him. I didn't get around to building one for myself but after hearing the latest build i just had to make one for myself. I uses an internal voltage converter (a TEC 2-0923) to...

I just finished a Chela build yesterday. I built one (etched my own pcb for it) years ago in 1590B: but I wanted one with all top jacks since i really liked the sound of it, so here's a pic of my Chela build:

i built an MT10 Mostortion years ago, but I just etched my own PCB for it and used a relayed true bypass. IMO, It came out very nice and sounds really good. here's couple of pics of it:

I just received the original Peavey Decade pedal and compared them sonically. They sound identical with the boost that I added to the circuit.

i just finished building this one today. Aion supplies the PCB to build either the CC-1 or the higher gain GC-1 on the same pcb. I opted for the GC-1's eq with the lower gain of the CC-1, since I found that the pedal really couldn't do absolutely clean and i actually like it quite a bit (on bass...
