    Caesar Chorus low volume

    Yes it is. There is a noticeable level drop once it is turned on.

    Caesar Chorus low volume

    Coming back around to this project and I still have no idea what is causing this volume drop. Here's some photos, thanks in advance!

    Mojotone Custom 50 - DIY Hiwatt DR504 clone

    This is great. I'd love to hear your observations on the tonal differences between that Triwatt and the 504. What has been your experiences with different pedals on both amps in terms of how they sound? Does the 504 get any dirt or is it clean like a blackface? I've never played a dr103 and have...

    Finished an 18watter!

    I used a set of Hammonds on my 18 watt. No complaints at all, though I have yet to love them as much as the Classic Tone in all of my other builds. I've toyed with rebuilding my Matamp using Mercury metal but the sticker shock is a bit astounding. Mojotone is a good place to grab Heyboer iron...

    Caesar Chorus low volume

    I'm reupping this thread because I have the same issue. I get a chorus effect but the volume drops almost 50% with the effect engaged. I changed all of the ics with no change. Haven't tried the 2N5088s yet. Looking for other ideas...

    Not far from the Fig tree

    I love love love this fuzz. It's my main dirty tone. Sounds really amazing through my Matamp clone. Just so much low end. I've got four other muffs and the only one I've liked close is the civil war/Russian muff. I went with four 2n5088s in this, all around 400 hFE I believe. I think on the...

    What would you use to sub a j201

    Interesting data point. I'm pretty sure I bought my bag of 10 or 20 a few years ago when there was just more stock available. They worked well in the Son of Ben. No issues biasing either. I think had used some other J201s I had bought elsewhere that didn't work properly and switched to my stock...

    What would you use to sub a j201

    https://guitarpcb.com/product/jfet-j201/ This is where I have always gotten mine. Seems to almost always be in stock and definitely reliable.

    Finished an 18watter!

    From my experience (about 10 amp builds in), the chassis material doesn't have an impact on noise. Using metal film in the key spots is huge as is avoiding carbon comp resistors as well. I also have moved to only using 1W carbon comp for most areas of my builds. It should be noted that something...

    Luxury 763 Oscillation Issue

    Just bumping this back up for some other suggestions.

    Luxury 763 Oscillation Issue

    The caps are all correct. Double checked that. No insulators on anything but did check out of the first enclosure moving the pots and the same thing is still happening. The oscillation starts when the drive is roughly at 50%. The treble and bass modulate the frequency of the oscillation. I'd...

    Luxury 763

    Cool thanks! Just eyeing other threads to figure what went wrong on my build here. In all my pedal building I've never had an oscillation issue until this build and I haven't been able to figure out what's causing it. Checked component values, changed ics, reflowed solder joints. Nothing has...

    5532 Oscillation Issues

    I did but haven't gotten much traction yet.

    5532 Oscillation Issues

    Has anyone had experience with unexplained oscillation when using the 5532? I'm at a loss to figure out why my Luxury 763 build oscillates as soon as the effect turns on.

    Luxury 763 Oscillation Issue

    I was just testing it on a one spot, which causes no issues on any other builds. I'm thinking it relates to the IC somehow but I'm not sure why yet. I guess I can try some IC swaps as well. Seems like oscillation is not an uncommon issue with the NE5532 based on some threads elsewhere.

    Luxury 763

    Out of curiosity, why so you have the two stand up resistors?

    Luxury 763 Oscillation Issue

    So strange. First time in building probably 40-50 pedals where I have gotten a bad oscillation on this build. I switched the IC with no change. Curious if anyone else has experienced this issue and has a clue on the cause. Thanks! -Ian

    Sunflower Fuzz Mods

    I think it ends up being a product of my amp volume. It definitely works better when I'm playing my 18 watt, which is basically dimed. Lately at band practice, ive been using the 100 watt Matamp at like 3 or the Plexi at 4 as pedal platforms and I don't get the same volume. I know when I do get...

    Sunflower Fuzz Mods

    It's definitely not the Shika fuzz. Unity is roughly at 9 o'clock in that. The Rams Head Number three is pretty close as is the IC big muff.

    Sunflower Fuzz Mods

    I've been going between an 18 watt TMB, Plexi, and a Matamp. I'd just like to have unity gain at twelve o clock like on a big muff.
