- Build Rating
This thing is absolutely crushing. I used an original LM308N IC and ended up with a matched set of D9B diodes (after testing matched D9B, D9E, D9K, BAT41 sets).
The only issue I have is that when I set the distortion and octave controls both to max, the signal cuts out on heavy palm muting. My pickups are very high output and it doesn't occur with the volume rolled back or coils tapped to reduce output. Is this a feature of the circuit or does this indicate an issue with the build? I have tried swapping diodes, ICs and power supplies. The pedal still sounds great with both controls at about 80%.
