final note for those following along: i replaced the 22n cap (for the C3 toggle) with a 2.2n cap and that further tightens up the bass frequency, so i would call this pedal a winner (and the R5 bias [presumably] control is a very happy accident that makes this thing super flexible).

oh and when i said 2N3906 earlier i meant 2N3904

update:

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 around the C3 toggle, it’s as recommended in the OKF doc (220n/22n) but i can’t hear the difference. anyway this thing is badass!

Oh yeah, pics (forgive the bending of the socketed caps, it’s busy in there):

[peeeeeeej]

ok this oversight has been addressed

[peeeeeeej]

lol just realized i didn’t solder the LED whooooops

[peeeeeeej]

Ah thanks, that’s helpful context re: the mid scoop on the big muff. Is it worth me placing the blues buster near the end of my chain (e.g. before my reverb but after delay)?

following up; i was able to get continuity with the right (or top) pad of R22 on the d’lay v3, so it looks like my hunch was right, thanks!
