Wonder Drive

I changed the values as mentioned above to my Wonder Drive and it sounds JUST LIKE my V3 Savage Drive !!!! I used a 68n in place of the 100n and you get more bite sooner on the potentiometer. Thanks a bunch for sharing and mentioning which components to swap; I’m buying more Wonder Drive boards now bc this sounds much closer to the original!

So what values did you end up settling on?

I used:

R4 - 220r
R8 - 100r
R9 - 15K (I didn’t have 15K, so used 20k)
R15- 470r
R19 - 4.7K
C7 - 2.2nF
C10 - 100n (I used a 68n)

The original build list gets you close (80% there). For me when following original build list I noticed maxing out the bite knob would be around 1 o’clock compared my original Savage Drive V3. Wanting more sharpness I went lower then 100n for C10 (68n ) and the response is dead on to how my original responds plus a little extra! It saturates the same too! Sounds amazing now just like the Dwarven Hammer, Isosceles, and Triangulum! A new favorite to build

I've learnt a ridiculous amount from people here over the past year or two. But the number one thing I've learnt is that Chuck knows.
