    J202s in a Benson Preamp?

    Hi everyone, Pretty sure it wouldn't work but since even smd J201s are somewhat hard to come by, would J202s work in a Benson preamp clone? Alternatively, could I use a J202 in one spot of the circuit? Maybe last transistor? What do you guys thinks? Thanks!

    My take on a 125B King of tone!

    Hey guys, Thought I'd share my latest build. It's a King of tone in a 125B enclosure, with toggle switches instead of dipswitches. Presence trimpots inside, black channel is higher hain, white channel is lower gain. I used BA282 diodes for the soft clipping section (closest I could find to the...

    Benson preamp clipping diodes

    Hey guys So the Chase Bliss preamp gave me the idea of adding switchable clipping diodes to the Benson preamp, and Im wondering where to put them. I don’t have a Benson preamp right now, gotta build one again soon, so Im just thinkin out loud! My first idea would be to put the switch after C6...

    Another Hydra delay (with a tweak)

    Hey, So I just finished my Hydra delay. It sounds glorious. I used A10k for the mix pot, and B50k for feedback (see below) I wasn't satisfied with the fact that with only one head selected there was not much feedback available. And when two heads were active, the oscillation could become way...

    Spatialist reverb modes

    Hi guys Just a quick question about the Spatialist reverb. I found a couple build pics online where the modes seem to include a plate reverb in 1st position. Was that a thing? I’d be interested in a plate reverb! Can we confirm that the modes, from 1 to 8 are as follow: Room Hall Chamber...

    DLY003 Tape delay question

    Hey guys For those of you who have a D3lay pedal or have used this algorithm in a pedal, just a couple questions. I can't seem to find any demos or quick recording of it, so... - how is the tone? Is it quite dark, analog-ish, brighter? - how does the degrade pot sound? Does it roll of the...

    Paragon mini (first pedalpcb build)

    Hey guys First time working with a pcb from pedalpcb, and it went quite smoothly! Just a KOT clone, with the latest updates from the freestompboxes forums: - high gain / low gain resistor change (100k/1k) - input cap is 22n instead of 10n - low gain feedback cap is 47pf instead of 100pf -...

    Questions about the Hydra delay

    Hey guys! New here, I've been building for a few years, posting mostly on the madbean forums. For those of you who built a Hydra delay, how do you like it? My question is about the Age pot. Does it act as a high cut and modulation pot? If so, how is the modulation? Like a standard slow lfo...
