A friend of mine gave me a Little Big Muff to fix. I can't figure out what's wrong with it. Any help would be great. Signal is passing through while it's disengaged. When you turn it on the LED comes on but 0 sound comes through. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've recently picked up a dyna comp and I'd like to know some mods to do with it. It's a pretty cheap pedal and I figured It'd be perfect to mod up. True Bypass, Vintage specs, etc. Let me know if you know of any articles etc

I think it would be a great idea to have a mini comp PCB that would fit into a 1590a enclosure for those of us who have cramped boards. I for one would pick one up

Hey madbean, would it be possible to do a tap trem? I've seen a PCB on eBay but I trust your builds much more

Well I decided I can post this now that I plugged it in and everything worked. I didn't get to make my rounds with it cause I wasn't using my stuff just loaning for a few minutes to see if it worked. And yes those caps are HUGE!

Also, I'll get a pic later with all the knobs on it. Don't have a tiny screwdriver here on campus
And the sparkle white enclosure looks WAY better in person

I'm interested in how many of you swapped C1 and C12 for more bass as in madbean's docs. Curious as to whether or not I should do this with my upcoming build

Hey Guys, I think I'm going to make my first build a Zombii instead of an Aristocrat like I had planned. I just have a couple of very noob questions about ordering parts. I'm ordering everything form smallbear also

1) I'm confused about the GE PNP transitors used for Q2 and Q3. Are they germanium, which one, etc? Anyone care to help me with that?

2) I'm ordering the 9mm alpha pots to solder on the board and I just have a couple questions about them. Do I order linear or audio? I'm pretty sure it's not reverse. And for future builds, when do I use linear and when do I use audio. Here's a link to my choices:

Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I want to start my first actual pedal build. After doing a couple tap tempos and junction boxes I'm confident in my soldering abilities. I want my first build to be the Aristocrat (King of Tone clone). I just have a few questions:

How do I know which type of Cap, resistor, diodes, etc. to get? I was looking from small bear, can all of my parts be purchased from small bear?

Thanks, keep in mind, I know NOTHING about caps, diodes, and resistors so all education is welcome.
