Electrovibe Build w/Monk Mods

Man I just love building this pedal! I’ve done several of these now and they get better everytime… Credit to Monk with his thread about Unity Gain resistors and the faster speed mods

The gray hammertone looks great with the face-plate.

You mentioned Big Monk's thread...

This is a great looking build - where did you get that toggle switch?

UPDATE 8/16/2023: I no longer recommend a lot of this stuff. In my opinion, there are better levers to pull and I have documented them here: The Monk Face: A Modernized Univibe With that said, let's discuss what I think are the most impactful and basic mods: 1.) Change R4 to 4.7M and Change...

Also confirming I used the tayda drill template posted above and had tayda drill the enclosure…. Literally perfection.. Everything lined up perfectly. The last few I built was kinda a pain drilling and cutting the hole square with a file to fit

I'm thinking they don't exist... I havent noticed lately but it appears Big Monk has left the chat.. He's not listed as a member and I'm not seeing his post either.,

With that said, let's discuss what I think are the most impactful and basic mods:

1.) Change R4 to 4.7M and Change R2 (stock preamp gain is 4) to increase gain. Here is a table of R2 values and corresponding gain increase:

3.9k = 4.25
4.7k = 4.91
5.6k = 5.66
6.2k = 6.16
6.8k = 6.66
7.5k = 7.25

Doing this fixes the unity gain issue and actually allows you to boost in the preamp, which can be quite useful.

2.) To increase depth at slow speed and increase overall speed available, Change C8 to 2.2u and R14/R15 to 1.5k.

If you want to modify further, see the link above to the Monk Vibe thread.

Please disregard the diagrams below. They are left for posterity.

@Robert the ghost monk still haunts us. We need to drive a soldering iron through his heart to kill him for good.
