Title: Crystal Fire
Post by: aeroemi on February 12, 2014, 11:25:45 PM
Hi all, this is my last build... It is actually a buffer/booster pedal, I used the fatpants for booster and the Pete Cornish for the buffer stage...
So when the booster is turned off, then the buffer is activated (in the "crystal side" of the enclosure :P ) and viceversa...
I encountered (as anyone who has built the fantpants) some scratching on the fat pot when the body switch is off... Do you have any suggestion on how to remove (or at least attenuate) it? Because it's so loud that I really can't turn the fat knob while the pedal is engaged...

Excellent choice of circuits and nice job on the enclosure. The fat pants scratching is just part of the beast...no way of removing that noise without changing the circuit.

I believe that's normal like with a rangemaster setting the 'volume' actually set the circuit voltage so it's very prone to crackle. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
