Title: Distortion + on Vero
Post by: jimilee on April 27, 2021, 03:21:14 PM
I swapped out the 1M distortion pot for a 50k. There was just too much dead space up until the end. I used 1n34a diodes which typically have to be pushed hard to get any break up and still have volume. I found some mods, I probably won't do them though. The knobs cam from small bear.

Hats off sir! Looks really great, did you check out the wampler mods? I used some of his in a 250 builds and they really brought the pedal alive, at least gave it some added level

I didn't. I checked them out though. If I ever build another one, I will. Any mods just about make it a dod 250.  I had a song kicking around in my head and this particular song  fit the bill.

You really need a C/Reverse taper for those.  The 1m works great then.

There was too much dead space on the 1M. I tried everything from a 1M and worked backwards landing at 50k. I could've done some other mods to fix that, but I didn't.
