Hello all!

Built a Sunking II as per the build instructions recently and all went without a hitch, though, when I last played it I noticed that there is some noise when the pedal is bypassed.
It only happens when playing and increases the harder you strum. Sounds like a harsh clipping hiss that's in the background.
It doesn't happen so much when playing very lightly, so it seems there is a threshold whereby it comes in with a certain input level.
I think it happens a bit when the pedal is engaged, though, it's hard to differentiate between the expected clipping and the noise in the background.

Anyone else experience this? Is this indicative of a common issue? Something to do with the buffer components?

Any help, as always would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyone else experience this?

The boost is super thick, which is kinda fun, but it's a little much for my tastes.

What components can I swap out and with what values to reign in the low end.

Thanks!

finished a neutrino build recently (black).
was really underwhelmed when i initially plugged it in.
kinda harsh overdrive. the bottom end drops out when engaged. snarky in the upper-mids.
played through both a modded DRRI and Matchless C-30 clone with a tele and play 99% of the time on the bridge pickup.
this combo of bright amps and guitar means i've been struggling to find overdrives that work well with my setup.
i ended up replacing the suggested opamp and inserted a 4580d and put in all the diodes instead of leaving one out and this seemed to help a lot, but i am still disappointed in the bottom end and overall midrangey nature of the pedal.
i recently built a green bean and that is voiced much better.
anyone else have a similar experience.
i've also found the toneclone Nobels ODR1 clone to be voiced well too with plenty of low end, though, at times i wish it had a little lower mids and midrange.
next build is the deadringer..

Hello folks.
First post here.
Currently working on an Aristocrat build using a purchased Madbean PCB.
I've got my board populated and have started to wire up my jacks and switches and am a little confused about the wiring as the diagram provided is the single sided version and it looks like the positions of the ins and outs are reversed from where they are on the DS version, ie. input 1 and ground 1 are on the left side on the DS version, but are on the right on the SS version.

Do I follow the SS version and just make my leads longer to traverse the board or do I, for example, go from pole 2B on the left side footswitch to Input 1 on the left side of the board?

Sorry if this is a super noob question. I'm very SLOOOOOOWLY getting my head around how all of this works.

Any help would be appreciated.
