Oh man, that’s terrible and I’m going to hell for laughing. Just kidding, atheists don’t believe in hell.

No, not a DOD YJM308, 250, or Fender. There is a little bit going on here!
Still working on the BOM and need to confirm the SMD components, but here is a DRAFT BOM.
How does it sound....good. The original DOD308 I liked, but has a lot of bottom. This one is tighter and more grit if need be. Literally, it adds elements and when playing a YJM riff, I sounded tonally like Yngwie!!
Enjoy!

Transistors on lower left look like a millennium bypass. Can skip that.
U1 is a smd footprint for U2

The entire bottom portion will be LED switching, polarity protection, etc. That's pretty common MXR stuff.

You might find the VREF supply in there though.

Have you traced the circuit yet? It looks an awful lot like the YJM308, possibly with some component value swaps.

Somebody made an unleash the fookin fury joke yet?

Too lazy to read 6 pages.

I'm pretty sure I have an Alcatraz Album from the early/mid 80's.

Did you go balls deep on the LED? Did you measure the fv and wavelength???

No not yet (traced). Weekend got SWAMPED!
I'll work on it, also let me know if anything else specific to check out and look for.

I had to look up who Randy Rhoads was during the dist+ thing the other day. Then I had to look up quiet riot. Is he well known for anything other than that, playing crazy train, and dying violently in a plane crash? I don't really get it. I know yngwie from the puffy shirt.

He was going to be evh biggest competition but classical trained it music from what I remember. I forget how young most people aren.

I don't think it's an age thing. I've just never been into 70s/80s rock. I've heard Van Halen but I can't name any of his (their?) songs.

I'm pretty sure I have an Alcatraz Album from the early/mid 80's.

Which album?

I had this one:




Still looking for a good copy of this photo-album:

You don't know Running With the Devil, Hot for Teacher, Jamie's Cryin, Dance the Night Away, etc?

Dance the Night Away, etc?

You're talking about Dua Lipa, right?
