Good morning, after I finished building this pedal I noticed that the A 100K pot (the limiter) is not having an affect on the sound. Not sure what I may have done wrong. The pedal works except the limiter pot. Any suggestions?
In my experience, the Limiter doesn't do anything drastic, it's extremely subtle. I on the other hand love the pedal. Sounds incredible with my rig boosting my Rat. I usually hàve the "Limiter" set between 9 and noon.
Not knowing the schematic/options for the build or the effect of the following on the build, is there a reason the slot for the 120p capacitor (far right) is empty?
(Edit - never mind. I found the build doc and the BOM states C3 is optional. I don't even see C3 listed in the schematic (of course, I'm reading it sideways on a computer screen) so I don't know what it does, but I don't think its absence would render the limiter pot ineffective).
I got this pedal built as well. When I turn the Limiter clockwise I can hear a little difference. It kind of limits the volume a bit. I set the Limiter counter clockwise and the boost up so it overdrives the sound a little. When I turn the limiter clockwise the output gradually decreases (slightly) until the overdrive dirt goes away and then it's pretty much a clean tone again.
I don't use the pedal, not my personal favorite. But if anybody wants me to measure anything let me know. No problem.
