@Barry Thanks again for your suggestions. I finally made it useable and in certain cases it can actually sound good (not the whol rage though).

What I did (always between steps bias again)

I put back the 1K resistors like you mentioned and removed  C1 and C2 . At that point is sounded kind of dead since with both knobs all the way,…Read more

That is a thing of freaking beauty! Congrats on that and after 10 months you have won!

Gonna look like @Big O , a smattering of various company offerings. Gotta love this hobby. I firmly believe in spreading the love to many different people, as building these devices has helped me keep my sanity the past 18 months AND was pivotal in helping me go nicotine free!

I get a little carried away thinking about combinations: One that I’m thinking about is either pairing a Harbinger or Doomstortion with the CitrusAmp to get some sort of more modern hard rock/metal sound – I know Jim Root of Slipknot used an Orange for a while as well as Mastodon. I’m also thinking of pairing the Diamond 30 with the NT…Read more

All the doubles I assembled earlier this year: Dual Doomstortion, Luna Fuzz, Harbinger, the Marshall-inspired preamps, were in 1590XX boxes. I do not really have sausage fingers, but maaan, it is much easier to get in there.

Shoot, Im looking into assembling a Kicker/Mule/Cock-It for a buddy of mine who is…Read more

Perfect venue for the band.

What a coincidence, just a few weeks apart. I really had a great time there and checked a bucket list item.

I was at the Umphrey McGee show and that video was the opening act The Record Company which was a pleasant surprise.

Gotta love the faceplates!

I have another of these boards in my stash, and need to work it up.
Goal is to take some guidance from @Barry ‘s Diode clipping workbook and play around with some options.

It has been more of a thought experiment on my end, “What interesting could be accomplished with these parts?”

IIRC, I have seen some passive ring modulator-ish type designs with these, but that has been about it.
None the less, might be a fun avenue to…Read more

Tonnes of mistakes were made (soldered the IC’s directly to board lol) but got there in the end. Thanks to @brd and @barry for your patience and guidance along the way. Keen to get onto the next one!

I supply the freight company with a clearance code which mitigates these a bit but still costly at times.

In regards to which diodes – they are some of my favorite parts to play with, because the difference in clipping structure makes up sooo much of the tone.  For most of my 6-way inclusions, I like to use a wide range of types to cover most…Read more
