    First Build, getting no sound. Sandspur Fuzz

    If all else doesn't pan out and your in the states, you can send me the build and I'll troubleshoot it for you. If you want I'll just identify the fault and let you fix it or I can get it up and running for you. All you have to do is cover the shipping.

    Tayda Branded Potentiometer's

    Only thing I see people complain about is the potentiometer grease is sticky.... which actually i like the torque the tayda pots have.. they don't feel all loosey goosey....

    Tayda Branded Potentiometer's

    I've had one bad dual gang..... But have been through literal hundreds with no issue... Everytime I actually measure one these days they are always within specified tolerance or better.

    First Build, getting no sound. Sandspur Fuzz

    probably the best thing to do from here is make yourself an audio probe.... watch some videos... can be made using a 100n capacitor and a guitar cable in it's simplest form..... I ended up making mine out of a misdrilled enclosure, 1/4 audio jack and a couple multimeter leads...

    First Build, getting no sound. Sandspur Fuzz

    Well darn.. When I first looked at them it all looked correct... but the R2 did look like orange orange black orange brown... looking closer it does look darker than orange... so looks like your components are right...

    Breaking stripboard apart

    The trick is to sccoe once with sharp blade on both sides.... line the score line up on the edge of a steady work bench top... and give it a quick smack with the edge of your hand downward... Say "ha ya" while doing it seems to work really good because that's what I do and it breaks perfect...

    Kliche question "the Jeff" Mod

    likely a lot of cork sniffery other than doing a few capacitor changes.... search here for some of Chucks mods for bass and you'll see which capacitors to be raised to allow some more lows through... I've built several "bass klons using his recipe and I think a couple suggestions from Coda...

    Octonaut/Hyperdrive

    lawd... I thought that one finally disappeared... The marketing behind that one was about as bad as the Burstofakey

    Blue Ridge Overdrive (Mori Drive)

    It's literally just a YATS with assymetrical clipping right?.... You might not vibe with tube screamers in general..... They are very mid honky and I prefer to klon over a yats for the mid heavy drives... This circuit apparently shares nothing with a klon other than the knobs as mentioned in...

    King of Tone / Paragon - High/Low Gain calculation

    Definitely one of the most underwhelming pedals I've ever built... I just don't get the KOT thing... Maybe it's my setup and play style. I've even played through an OG . I've built several and even 3 different pcb vendors.... Every one of them were fairly ..MEH.
