Is the boost side improved? Gotta say the boost side is a total bummer on the previous rev.

curious what's new in this rev vs the old rev? I see there is a second opamp vs the prior. Thanks!

Yes. It makes it like it wasn’t even installed.

So someone smarter than me would have known this without even trying it, but flipping Q2 around makes it act like it’s not even there. I ended up putting Q2 back in…decided it does actually help control the bass in a usable way.

I couldn’t actually locate any 4580’s, so I went with 4558. I’ll try flipping Q2.

Thanks for posting this. I built one and I wasn’t really a fan…actually thought I messed the build up somehow but your video shows me that that’s just the nature of the pedal - relative low volume, last bit of the throw on the treble has a huge impact, bass gets super flubby up high. I ended up...

I went ahead and complied the BOM off of the PCB for Virgil Overdrive/Bad Monkey clone. Use at your own risk, but it should be accurate: Pots 3 x B100k 1 x A100k ICs & Transistors 2 x 4580 (i couldn't find these so picked up 4558) 2 x 2n3904 1 x J201 (could only find at smallbear) Diodes 2 x...

any word when virgil overdrive/bad monkey build docs/bom will be available?

Does anyone have a good video of their LFO on a pedal they are happy with to give others a reference/starting point of what we should be shooting for? Would be supremely helpful.

Gotcha. Like I said I've tried everything with the LFO. Anything else I could possibly be missing? Possibly my expectations are out of line.

Gotcha. So do you think to improve the chorus side I should perform the mod or keep trying to tune the lfo?

So question for the phase mod on R16/17: what final values are you guys seeing? Are they like a few hundred ohms off of each other or like a few thousand? Second question: my electrovibe mini has a really strong effect/depth on the vibrato setting, but seems a bit too subtle on the chorus...

Ah, so these 11 mm headers will work for the build? Do you know the maximum distance that the PCBs can be spaced from each other?

I got this stuff and it measures 11mm...does that mean 11mm of clearance works for this build?

Many thanks. Wow, $1 per cap. Panasonic is proud of those.

Any more build docs for the electrovibe mini? Also having trouble finding short parts - most of the linked parts in the parts list are out of stock...is 8mm diameter too wide for the 100 uF caps?

What I have set up on my breadboard at the moment, my Vref rail is exactly half of my positive rail (resistors both 22k), but there is a 0.1-0.2 V drop across my biasing resistor, depending on value. Since I have a DC blocking capacitor and nothing else going to ground between it and my op amp...

Somewhat of a technical question: every op amp tutorial always talks about how both inverting and non-inverting pins are at the same voltage and the op amp itself works to ensure that. I get that they are always talking about ideal op amps and real will differ a bit. I've been working with...

Hey, so question about the voltage divider resistor values for Vref - I've gathered that the lower the value, the higher the power consumption to ground, and values too high could choke off current needed for Vref users and drop your Vref voltage. Any rules of thumb for choosing values? Thanks!

Someone left a review on the website for maleficent mids and said they got it into a 1590b enclosure. I'm gonna try it and about to drill my enclosure. Definitely going to try for side mounted jacks. Spacing is definitely going to me way tighter than the 125b like I'm used to.
