The Simulcast was one of the first pedal I built for myself, and I loved it with my rig. I even rehoused it when I started to get into UV prints.
Then, I wanted to try a Duocast, and the one I made sounded quite good also.
Even though I loved it, I decided to sell it to make a bit of room on my board, but decided to revert to a Simulcast to replace it.
So, for this one, I decided to use the same enclosure color as the first iteration, and use the graphics I made for the Duocast's faceplate, plus put in a simple relay with Tayda's "Full Tone" SPST, which is pretty nice for a relay bypass, as it's got a nice feel to it (i.e. more stiff than the soft touch). Wiring could have been cleaner, but IIWII.
I used a 2SB405 SANYO Germanium Transistor with 79 hFE in this one. Sounds good also, maybe I find the HIGH setting more raunchy, but in a good way.
I think the first one sounded the best, but I'm splitting hair, as I would have been happy with any of the three, and I know I made a fellow guitarist super happy with the Duocast.
Special thanks to @peccary who sent me a missing component to complete this!
