C9 is for power supply filtering and should be 47uF, not .047uF. It would be a bit a waste anyway to use a nice cap where it will make no difference tone-wise.

You have your IC readings backwards. Look at the schematic drawing of IC2 you will see pins5-8 are bottom to top, not top to bottom as you listed here.

So, you should read 8.9v on pin8 and -8.71 (or so) on pin5.

You should also be reading that -8.71v on pin 11 of IC1, but you've listed it as -8.71mV. Is that a typo or the actual reading?

Woohoo, I made the list! Really, those are some fat builds. That Cosmo is so slick.

Yep, when installed into an enclosure it is Bass - Pres. left to right from top down.  This is just how the layout worked out best.

Welcome, Paulo.

There's nothing wrong with the layout, I can assure you. Please refer to this thread concerning what information you need to provide in order to get help: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=902.0

Thanks!

abcfab on eBay is a good source. He's on vacation now but back soon, I think.

I would go straight to Tone God, who designed the Taptation and ask him

Damn I love me some Lydian. It should be the key/mode for all songs.

Should be in the next batch coming later this month.

A few people have asked for it so why not. I checked out the app for Android and it seems to work pretty well. I'm about to install android on my HP TouchPad so it might actually come in handy for me.

Got the electrosocket in. This one is almost completed!

Never even played a Jag. I should really go to a music store sometime and try one out.

Maybe if someone could point toward an audio sample?

Yes, 24k and 33k would be fine. It's within tolerance.

You can ignore the stars---they were from the first revision addressing distortion with v3205. If you are building the v3205, follow the revision dated 12/20 on page 5 which is listed in the current documentation.

how do you like the bridge? I was considering putting compensated saddles on my Tele & was wondering if it made any real difference in tuning.

Great looking guitar, the Gibson scale is a cool idea.

I'll let you know after I finish the set-up. Tonight I finally glued the nut in. I had to have the brass saddles (a must for Teles IMO) and I got the compensated ones since it was nearly the same price. These do not have the additional rotation feature as the more expensive ones out there so not as much tweakability for intonation. But, I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to that. One thing I do insist on is getting the proper radius on saddles. Unfortunately, I lost my radius gauge so I don't know what the neck radius is! It's compound for sure, though.

The Gibson scale is probably ideal for my smallish hands. Even though a couple of fingers on my left hand are longer than the right 

Cool, glad you got to experimenting on the diode selection.

I'm surprised about the oscillation--I worked with it a lot to prevent that even with all the diodes lifted (or at least I did not have that issue on my build). You could reduce the 1M resistor in the feedback loop to either 820k or 750k. Honestly, I don't really expect too many people to run it at max gain without any diodes...it sounds pretty cool up to the half-way mark that way (like the klon if you use that option) but after that you get some nasty op-amp distortion which sounds quite harsh.
