one knob to rule them all
one knob to find them
one knob to bring them all

Damn that artwork is good.  Great looking pedal!

I really like the simple look of this! Those knobs go great with the bare black. 

I got some pots with missing nuts & washers too. Fortunately, Smallbear sells a little baggie of nuts & washers. I've stocked up with Tayda in the past and will probably do so in the future, but for project-specific orders, I consider Smallbear worth the extra expense.

I'm a pretty low volume builder, and the time I can shake free to tinker with pedal audio is more valuable to me than the cost differences. It definitely hurts my feelings for a few minutes to have to shelve a build because of that one missing part.

Yeah, I also threw in some of their pancake plugs on this order.  I only ordered four, but one was missing a small screw, so it's basically unusable.  I did make a cable out of one set though, they seem to work just fine.  Was really difficult to solder to ground though, wish it had some sort of ground post.

Because none of my friends care to hear me whine about this, I thought I'd vent for a bit to you guys.  I ordered from Tayda for the first time last week.  I'm building a Cerulean Overdrive to the Morning Glory specs, and I ordered all components and hardware from Tayda.   

The positive:  I've only ordered from Mammoth in the past, but found Tayda was significantly cheaper.  I was able to get about 10 times the amount of components from Tayda for the same price I pay at Mammoth. I ordered lots of extra components and also some extra hardware and still only spent $25.  My order arrived in just 6 days, a day earlier than they had projected at checkout.  I was really happy with this.

The negative:  THEY ONLY SENT ME TWO POTENTIOMETERS.  I needed two 100k and a 25k pot, but the package was missing one of the 100k pots.  They gave me a $2 credit to their site to compensate, but still...I was so excited to get the pedal going and now I can't.  Life is just so hard  I know it's not actually a big deal, but it still sucks that I had to order another pot for 60 cents and then pay $5 for shipping. 

I ended up ordering the missing pot from Mammoth last night, as well as some extra cable for making my own patch cables. 

Sob story over.

I'd love to hear a sound demo of this

Absolutely love the look of this thing. Those mismatched knobs are killer.

I love all your enclosures, the handpainted vibe is awesome.  What kind of paint do you use?

Digging the simple black!

Thanks Jon! I'll definitely see if swapping them out helps.  Your explanations are super thorough, much appreciated!

Hello my patient friends of the forum.  After completing the rub-a-dub and having some time to really experiment with it, I've started to notice that it has a clipping noise.  I have a clean boost in my chain that when engaged really makes the clipping sound more prominent, though when it's off it's still pretty noticeable. It happens especially if I'm using a pick and a strong attack when I'm playing, though it's noticeable on softer strumming and picking as well, especially in the low end.  I've checked in the enclosure and no wires seem to be touching.  Other than the clipping noise, it is working perfectly.  The noise is comparable to tube rattle, though I'm certain it's not my amp because the sound doesn't happen if the reverb is off. I even turned the reverb on my amp all the way up to see if it would happen then and it doesn't unless the pedal is engaged.  So, I think I'm somehow clipping the circuit, and am wondering if you guys have had any similar experiences to this, and if so, what can I do to increase the circuit's resistance to clipping? Thanks!

Those knobs look slick with that paint.
