Hello,
I think I’ve had this board made and not in an enclosure yet for almost a month and a half now. My initial impression when I just had the board running through a breadboard to my amp was Luke warm at best. Didn’t seem too inspiring. I played around with swapping some diodes around ended up with the stock selection couple 1n34a 1n270 and a 4148. I’d be curious exactly how those are arranged though. I assume how it’s on the board it’s symmetrical with 1 34 with the 270 and 1 34 with the 4148. Anyways. I was running it into a little super champ x2 amp with my strat and was not overly impressed prior to boxing it. I boxed it up a couple days ago and have been playing through a little modded epi valve junior head I picked up on market place. So plugged it in there, and was pretty surprised was very happy with it. Thought it was odd so I grabbed the fender and ran it through that again and it seemed to lose a little something. Still sounds like a pretty good overdrive but def responds better to my ears on the other amp. Has a lot of versatility which is something I’ve found I appreciate a lot in overdrives of late. I am doing some testing and this may replace my timmy ish pedal on my board.
Build was very straight forward no issues. I’ve ran it at both 18v and 9V both work well. Went with some rattlecan hammered silver and a no frills decal layout (literally just changed the text from my Aphrodite build). Have some 1900 knobs coming from Tayda today hopefully I’ll swap these out for.
