thanks! I'll get some recording done and share.

I boxed it up and socketed c12. It sounds a lot like madbean's youtube clip. I thought maybe his camera, mic, amp setup just lacked bass. There's another youtube clip of a dude in socks with a Stage Phaser which madbean's version is not a clone of. I want mine to sound fuller like his. I will read geofex's tech of phase shifters for now but would love some help.

hi! I built the stage fright. I feel like it phases in the high frequencies way too much and needs more bass. The 5 stage mode sounds too subtle and bassy. It sounds like the youtube vid to me. I was thinking about trying the univibe mod but I wonder if that would do what i want?

Hi folks! I built two Slap Chops with no problems. I gave them to musicians as gifts. I believe one immediately sold his to fund a Strymon purchase  :(

Anyway! I wanted one for myself and built a Karate Shop. It works great unless I max the gain and try to get some of the wild distortion this effect is capable of. When it distorts it is very unpleasant and has a nasty decay that sounds very similar to a tube amp with parasitic oscillation problems.

Has anybody else had similar issues with the Karate Shop?

Thanks for the suggestions! I will give them a try! I forgot to mention that I think the bypassed signal sounds great.

so I built the slapchop. this is pretty interesting. sort of a parked wah distortion effector. I almost want to add a master volume control because the gain needs to be cranked to achieve the distortion. I'm still a novice schematic reader but it looks like the 1k r9 might control  the master volume? I'm getting a loud pop when engaging the effect on about every other stomp.

so it's not wah-ing. I checked the wiring twice, better triple check.

It's a Beak Wah! for now........
