"On yours, does turning the Bass pot down also lower the volume a bit toward the full rotation?" There's no volume change, other than what's expected when you cut the lows. I also tend to play into some amount of crunch or drive that compresses things I found that the mod depends a lot on...

I can't answer your question, but I also like the G&L PTB setup. I put it in a Strat with H-S-H config to tame the woofy neck pickup and picked up a couple more C1M pots from G&L.

On my build, I made the "clean" trim pot into an external control to work with different pickups. You're meant to use your guitar's volume control for that, but this helps if you use extra hot humbuckers, like I do. That mod is offered for $25 on the real ones. This picture is from a nearly 300...

You're all making me want to try out some flatwounds for doom. I've got the fuzzes covered.

I got 12 sets of the bulk packs at Juststrings.com as it comes out to about $4 a set and I can pick out my own gauges. What started me off was trying out the D'Addario balanced sets which felt better, but I like heavier lower strings. I got one of their balanced bass sets, and am happy with...

I built two on strip board using the Soy Sauce schematic. Because the octave was so quiet and tracks so well, I thought nothing was happening. I then used a splitter, recording the Meatbox's signal direct where I could adjust the level, and saw just how much low end it boosts. It also really...

Thanks for all the information. I hadn't checked Parasit's social media and am now catching up. Ladder to the Moon and Liberation Frequency sound cool. Agreed on the C19! Even though it's not mentioned in the Sonic Reducer manual, I see the M1/M2 pads for the mod board on the PCB. I'm...

I have an Arcadiator (v2.5 though) I haven't placed in an enclosure yet. Is that a 1590BB, or a taller BBS/BB2? I also have the mod board, but was hesitant to combine them as the mod's instructions say other future projects will allow its use. I haven't seen any yet though. This builder says...

You can find Fuzzhead's original schematic here. You'll have to trace it though, as the component numbering doesn't match. https://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2020/10/fuzzhead-fx-stoner-bee.html

Try the Skreddy Hybrid Fuzz Driver. It's very close to the Screwdriver, and was traced here. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/hybrid-fuzz-driver.3517/ https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/aldrin-lunar-module-to-hybrid-fuzz-driver-transformation-bom-comparison-updated.1401/ Then there's the...

How does it sound for you? It looks like a boosted germanium fuzz face with a lot of EQ, but tuned for metal? I haven't seen any commercial PCB's anywhere. I'll probably have to try a stripboard build.

I built Blower Box clone with bass/treble and it's great. It can get very fuzzy and heavy. http://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2019/06/idiotbox-blower-box.html The Dunwich Volt Thrower adds clipping options (There's another version with a mid control, which I'd like to see)...

I also like the Carcosa which led me to its inspiration and my current build, the Maestro FZ-1S. It has a clean blend so you can have all out fuzz, and clarity at the same time. I wanted to keep the FZ-1S stock, but it needs some volume and gating tweaks. The improvements on the Carcosa work...

https://vero-p2p.blogspot.com is forum member andy-h-h's vero and tagboard layout blog. He does his research and goes in depth with a lot of testing. I'm a big time Dirtboxlayouts builder too.

OP asked for 125B, but for those looking for 1590BB, Amplified Parts has them in their store, Reverb, and eBay. https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/chassis-box-1590bb-diecast-471-x-370-x-118 https://reverb.com/item/2976068-chassis-box-1590bb-diecast-4-71-x-3-70-x-1-18-color-brown...

I also used a C100k for the octave.

They haven't had the old "glowing" (not new "glow") neon green, orange, and pink in some time. I've bought examples of all three, and they looked great.

Revisiting my old build, I see Res#1 on row B (ground) , where all schematics I've seen say it should go to Vref , which is row C. The layout I used looks just like the one posted by NickC, except the filter lugs are reversed. The only clone PCB's I know of are BYOC and Lectric FX

Does anyone know how the second output on the original Meatbox is connected? I built one on stripboard that matches the Lectric-FX schematic. I didn't like it as a straight up octave pedal, but using a separate splitter with a direct line going into the board, sounds massive.

New modded clone with a 5th control. http://www.pastfx.com/index.php/effects/punkifriar
