Hello all, just finished building this pedal, voltages look good on the IC using a NE5532, powers up, but all it does is hum loudly either engaged or bypassed. Checked orientation of what I think is the last dc blocking cap and its oriented right. Components checked out alright and all caps are oriented correctly. used 2sc1815 (gr) . battery is right at 9 v. Switch and jacks are wired correctly, its late will have a go with audio probe soon. Any ideas?

thanks sands

Im about to build an ac booster and am going to sub a 1m pot for drive but while looking at the glitterati pdf i noticed it has a 100k linear taper for volume. I also saw a post in the forums where a guy was having problems with unity volume on the quasar build. IF I use a linear pot wouldnt that put unity volume around noon vs the log pot around 3 oclock?

How would the linear pot be perceived vs the log? Lke the above or different?

Hello all, I need some help in a choosing an od. I'll mainly be boosting (more gain and tightening the amp up) a jet city jca22h and either a 5e3 or 18 watt TMB clone (plan to build one). I had a neutrino burst and liked it but sold it like an idiot, so now i need another od. Ive narrowed it down to the glitterati, green bean, or another neutrino burst.

While I liked the neutrino for boosting (except for the loss of bass) I didnt care for it as a stand alone. Which I did use it as from time to time.

How much does the green bean sound like the neutrino burst or the GGG TS with keeley 808 mods?

Is the Glitterati similar to a TS just more control?

I want some mids added but not so much that it sucks the life out of the sound i already have.

What would be the best solution for what Im trying to do? I mainly play rhythm, everything from metal to zz top just got paid type riffs.

I can really only afford at the moment to build one.

thanks sands
