Parentheses

[Paradox916]

I figured I talked a lot of crap and never built one, I wanted to kill two birds with one stone… to see what the fuss was all about with this pedal and I never played a rat… I will have to admit this was a lot more fun thanI thought to both build and play. I did make a few substitutions 2N5458 in place of the PF5102. OP07 for an LM308N and matched 1N5817 for D1&2, 1N34A for the GEs in D8&9, I tryed out a couple of matched pairs before I found ones that worked to my liking… other than that worked right out of the gate. This will probably be my last build for a while, we are moving yet again but this time to a more permanent place so I figured I would try and make it a good report.

@Paradox916 didn't have to flex like that but he did

I almost posted this in troubleshooting just to be a jackass.

The trouble was it just worked…

No kidding! That’s an awesome build!

It wouldn't be the first time a perfectly working pedal showed up in Troubleshooting.

Shout-out to the dude with the duocast that "one footswitch didn't work"

I did lean an interesting lesson on matching components, the first set of diodes I matched worked great, but I did that in the garage and it was cold as hell ( wasn’t thinking when I did this) I brought the pedal inside to test on my rig the next day after the pedal warmed up to room temp the octave was flat.(no octave at all) 20-30 degrees makes a difference for sure when matching component’s.

Brilliant work!

Thanks guys. I’m already itching to do another one and I haven’t started packing up the bench yet.

Just listened to your demo. That sounds good-stop doing that
