Have you heard the fuzz factory, it makes crazy noises. I've built several on vero.

I have! I actually built a JMK 5-Knob fuzz, though I haven't been able to wrangle it in beyond a few specific settings. I was able to get a fantastic In-a-gadda-da-vida out of it though. Beyond that it came out a bit shrill and/or glitchy for my tastes in most settings. Granted, this was the second pedal I'd built, so it may be time to revisit this one, maybe even try out some new transistors in it.

One of the many I have has a tone filter so I can switch between guitar and bass. I've sold so many pedals and then built them back again, it's crazy.Quote from: TheDude on January 14, 2020, 03:40:01 AMQuote from: jimilee on January 14, 2020, 01:29:03 AMThanks Jimi! If I'm being honest, I've become a little obsessed with muffs since my first one
Nice Muffs man!!! I love the sound of an IC muff. The mayo is creamy for sure.Hoping to get my hands on a few more of the '15 boards to build the other 4 variations. Love that layout. And who doesn't love swimming in Muffs?

me too!
Muff is pedal that started my journey. Being addict in muff make me hand draw layout in my free time on job. Even draw for quad array. And always have switchable tone caps is must for me, although still favorite scooped 3n9. Dont care if use spdt or dpdt on-off-on, use whatever in my stock. Because dpdt on-on-on became rare here.
My favorite? Tri Dirty Booster. Still in plastic box in my office desk. Hahaha. Never sell that although some friend want to pay. They cant buy my eureka pedal.

I'm with Jimi on the Green Russian myself. I started building to get my hands on a Zvex wooly mammoth for far less than those suckers go for, but once I built the Green Russian, hoo boy. It was over.
That Tri Dirty Booster is pretty gnarly.

Quote from: TheDude on January 14, 2020, 03:40:01 AMThe P19 is possibly the smoothest and one of my favs to date. The green Russian is a great one for bass.Quote from: jimilee on January 14, 2020, 01:29:03 AMThanks Jimi! If I'm being honest, I've become a little obsessed with muffs since my first one

Quote from: Scruffie on January 14, 2020, 12:22:35 AMCool man, I appreciate all of your help.
It is all connected (the 4066 is a quad SPST) and it's too late at night to go through the datasheet seeing where everything connects.
Pop it out and see what happens to the voltages then.
Quote from: Scruffie on January 13, 2020, 10:02:00 PMIt was a mess, I didn't realize it was. Whatchoo think it's coming from? It all looks connected.
You didn't mention IC8 was nearly all 14V, that looks more problematic...
Quote from: Scruffie on January 13, 2020, 01:56:07 PMThank you sir.
Ahh, right, so it isn't just the BBD. Well they're swinging high because they're jammed open which would fit your description so I would look further down stream to the input section.
You know the drill, pictures etc.
Quote from: Scruffie on January 13, 2020, 01:40:46 AMHere's the problem. I have an 18v one and the 9v one. I can't get the envelope to open smoothly on the 9 v one. It's either barely there or abruptly opens, not smoothly. Switching to single coils didn't help.
As I said, they swing high and low and they're not connected to the BBD, they only function as the attack/decay portion and telling the VCA when to open/close.
How hot are your pickups? There's quite a bit o' gain and a compressor up front of the BBD which will bring the signal level up quite a bit.
We chatted about the Downtown and this uses a pretty similar front end apart from the low pass filter so I'm wondering if it's your pickups or your sensitivity setting, which should be pretty set and forget.
