Hi,
Just saw these:

They use a transformer for clipping? Is this a revolution ;-) ?
Cheers, John

Just finished the Kingslayer 2!
- with the Silver Pony mods/alterations 
- also the D9E diodes! (still undecided on the other diodes, suggestions?)
- OPA 4134PA
- extra choices knob for C9 (10pf, 160pf or 400pf) (read this in another thread, good for extra brightness, like it)
Anyway, great sounding pedal!

Hi,
What does the different location of R9 do? (comparing KS1 with KS2)
Thank you!

 Hi,
I had the weirdest thing at a gig yesterday.
I plugged everything in and the clean signal was fine, but when turning on any pedal on my pedalboard the volume dropped dramaticly.
(signal is: buffer, autowah, tuner, tschula, truebypass bluesdriver, klon, analog delay).
After disconnecting the delay it worked again and later with the delay back in the chain it worked fine too.
What can this be?  Turning on any pedal made the volume drop!
Now the pedalboard is working fine and I cannot find any hint on what this phenomonon  could be.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
I would like to use a 5V battery (4500mah), like used to charge a cellphone (usb device), to power my mini-pedalboard.
Can I use the roadrage voltagedoubler? (so 5V to 10V)
Thanks!

Just finished my Sparkplug-drive.
Don't know if I like it yet, the Kingslayer seems to be one of the best for me.

Hi,
Just finished building an OD855 and OD820, but.....

The OD820 has very little gain

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi,

This is my Nautilus, but....

There is so much gain on the gainpot. I did change it to reverse log, but still too much.

I set the voltrim to zero, but still it is loud.

Do you have any tips or did I do something wrong?

Thanks!

John

Hi,

Three new ones!

Fatpants 2012 ed.: great pedal for toneshaping!

Apis Klon: Wow, one of the better Klon Clones, with NOS 1N60 diodes. It maybe has a strange layout, but it was the only one I could think of so that it also holds a battery. This is my 'to go, can't leave home without it'-pedal.

FuzzFace Bell: Made in a speaker bell. It was a hassle to cut it, but it worked out ok. Lots of mojo from the PigeonFX-kit, even the tropical fishy ;-) .

Cheers from Amsterdam!

Hi,
My 1st post and 1st MB build: The Kingslayer.
It turned out pretty good and it's a really great pedal. For R11 I used a 422K and for C15 3n9 (like the Klon). For D4 and D5 I have NOS 1n60 diodes, for D8 and D9 3mm red leds, and for D2 and D3 I used 1n4148 in series and 1 1n4007 (somehow this combination sounds great to me).
Great pedal and many thanks to Brian!
Cheers from Amsterdam!
