Another great drive/distortion project. As the circuit itself and the build doc suggest this pedal is close to the distortion + in sound, thus I named it as my project D+ "Mustard".
What I like (compared to a D+) is that you can get more dirt with the gain maxed and it has some fuzz-like sound, so you can go from soft drive to dirty distortion, and with extra flexibility of a tone control.
For the diodes I choose 1N34As (stock) and 1N4148s, that give different distortion, less volume and more fuzz appeal with the germanium and more "standard" drive with the silicons, I also used a little bit of the "softness" trimmer with the 1N4148s, that gives extra headroom and openness to the sound. I think it's a great feature so you can have 2 very different clipping options, that give you variety.
Looks good! I'm curious to hear it now.
Nice inside and out.
That's great work, I really like the look.
Thanks!
Now I need to build one of those. good looking pedal. Your description sounds nice.
That looks great. I'd really love a demo if you're so inclined.
The list of overdrives that I have to build now just increased by one. Thank you for that. ;D
It's behind a Green Bean and a Zendrive for two buddies. Oh and not to mention the Pork Barrels, Krakens and Phasers that I'm getting ready to start on. Dangit.
