I just can't see someone like you putting some douchey statement out about a trace.
I actually like the sound of the G2, P2, and NG3.
None of the others do a whole lot for me personally though.

Obviously 29 Pedals was too utopian in his idea about the inevitability of tracing, but we also can't turn our heads and say he didn't get some pretty raw treatment from some people here, datasheet power supply or not.
Of course, even then, people knew that about YATS, etc. but it was more about discovery and tweaking, and less about this holier than thou shit.
I just find it funny.
Most of the shit talk is often if
A) the marketing is clearly lying about the circuit or is (unironically) over the top with the claims
B) the circuit is clearly a clone of something with next to no innovation
C) ridiculously priced
D) overengineered (often to justify driving up the price)
E) a combination of any number of the 4 options above
Issues with the builders' personality, support/service, build quality, etc. all factor in why I personally hate on a couple of builders, but the points above are what I think are people's issues that lead them to hate on the designs.
You don't have to be an expert on anything to utter an opinion such as "I don't think the tone justifies the parts count/price tag" etc. Tone is subjective, so one person's overengineered 369$ tubescreamer might be another guy's perfect dumble tone just because of an extra knob and 5 part swaps. And really nothing in this thread was crazy toxic, it was people sharing their experiences.
Really? So Euna'f one that does that?
That's more current than most taps on my isolated power supply can provide (and who out there is gonna waste one of their high-current taps on a buffer???).
but it was more about discovery and tweaking, and less about this holier than thou shit.
To me there just seems to be a real aggression around circuit analysis lately. It's like people are personally offended if someone doesn't design some brand new shit out of the ether.
these schematics we get for NOTHING and simply appreciate them for what they are. Slagging the builder ON TOP of getting to take a peek into their circuit seems unsavory.
I think the design of the Cornish differs in the sense that it buffers the input path when engaged and in bypass, right?
I don't think this is directed at me, but I feel like I have to make it clear that this was not my intention when making this post. I recognized the bootstrapped design and was genuinely curious as to why it would be used, since there are more parts involved.This concept transcends the circuits though: It just seems to me that everyone is a flippin' expert these days about someone else's circuit.
This forum has had it's recent examples too.
I get it, if a tracer releases a schematic, suddenly everyone thinks they are an expert.
What I find disconcerting is that instead of NOT looking that gift horse in the mouth, everyone seems very content to hack the poor creatures head off with a broadsword and stomp on it.
That's good to know, I might give it a tryYeah, no idea about the Cornish pedals (I’ve never built one, but I’ve never heard a demo that I was crazy about of one), but I do quite enjoy the Cornish buffer. My go to buffer because it’s super transparent (as a buffer would hopefully be) and most pedals I’ve put after it react better to it than certain other popular buffer designs.
But definitely not worth telling a guy to go fuck himself over.
Either way, my personal opinion is to take these schematics we get for NOTHING and simply appreciate them for what they are. Slagging the builder ON TOP of getting to take a peek into their circuit seems unsavory.
What are everyone's thoughts on the Boss/Ibanez style JFET switching buffers?
I was bouncing around the idea of putting on in my Cephied Chorus when I build it.
I’m 1000% in agreement that you have great investment in each project.
