Just curious since I’ll be building one soon, thanks!

now that i’m jamming on headphones and not on a very quiet practice amp, it seems that my 2k pot wired to R5 is controlling the bias (sound seems to get very velcro-ish when i reduce it) and the sag actually works great here imo. i changed the C1 mod to be 100n/10n and the bass reduction at 10n is really nice. still can’t wrap my head…Read more

  • 3PDTs for toggling Q1 (BC109/2N4401) and Q2 (BC108/2N3906)
  • DPDT on/on for toggling C1 (100n/1u) and C3 (220n/22n)
  • Sag circuit a’la the test kit schematic (9v > 2k resistor > B10k pot) between a 9V pad on a 3PDT board and the main board
  • R5 is a 2k potentiometer

 

learnings:

  • R5 does not c…

i was worried that this was going to replicate the function of my TS9 and i think it’s an entirely different sound, and the gain stage added by the afterblaster is super satisfying too. 10/10 glad…Read more

Is it worth me placing the blues buster near the end of my chain (e.g. before my reverb but after delay)?

It seems to still reference the v2 version of the D’lay board, and i’m a little lost as how to proceed (this post says “look at the old v2 doc,” but doing so hasn’t helped me figure this out).

it seems like the best course of action is to:

I’m getting ready to build the dr phybes pedal and I’m planning on including the 45/90 mod. Is the needed DPDT switch an on/off or an on/on? My gut tells me on/on, but the guide doesn’t (seem to) specify.

Thanks!
