Anyone build the Aion Monolith?

[pmerritt]

Hi all,

I just completed my Aion Monolith and am wondering if anyone else has built one. Mine works well but has a lot of hiss. The dirt pedals I’ve built so far are pretty quiet. I know some pedals are inherently noisy, so I’d like to know if it’s normal for this one.

Thanks,
Peter

I have the PCB. If someone doesn't answer soon, I'll build it. Listen to a bunch of YouTube demos. That's how I figure it out. One pedal I built sounded terrible. I listened to some demos - same terrible sound. I try and listen to a few before I build a pedal, now. Guitar and amp can make a big difference, though.

Make sure you run your IO wire far from the pcb. Some high gain circuits really benefit from shielded wire as well, grounding the shield at the jack/power
