Kliche and Paragon

[TheSin]

I’m focusing my attention on a Tele build these days but managed to squeeze these 2 in. Nothing fancy but I’m pretty happy with the final results. I usually don’t mess with a battery option but I added it into these 2. I did a lot of socketing on the Paragon and hardwired the stomps.

Those look great. Love the black on black. Did you have any speed bumps on the Paragon? That’s my next project.

Thanks! No issues, fired right up! It’s like the 5th one I’ve built. Recommend you socket the diodes and the “high gain” resistors so you can play around.

Btw, I use film caps in lieu of electrolytic on C9 and C20 to avoid popping from DC leakage. The last one I built had this issue. I’ve been told you can use tantalums there too but I don’t have any.

Very good to know, so this removes the pops and doesn’t affect the sound quality?

Not an expert, but It doesn’t seem to effect sound quality to my ears. All it does is block DC from the signal path from my understanding.
