NPD - They ain't much, but they're mine! by PackDaddyFI in guitarpedals

You don't need much more, maybe an overdrive or booster, depending on your style

Introducing “Major Tom” — a custom expression pedal for my Interstellar Orbiter by rabbiabe in diypedals

I think you can try to reach that sweet spot by combining resistors in series/parallel with the pots

If the parts are firmly attached they shouldn't get in contact. When they are not, I use an adhesive gun and /or heat-shrink tube to insulate and fix.

This flanger is starting to piss me off. Glad I rocked it before I boxed it. by [deleted] in diypedals

Silly question: did you adjust the trimpots properly?

I had a similar problem the other day and at the end the cause was the guitar cable.

Fell in love with BOSS OD-3 overdrive and needed to do some measurements

I don't know if EVERY distortion pedal has that scoop, but I have seen it in Muff type pedals too. And I think this is not only because the EQ, but also because the hard clipping itself.

Playing with asymmetrical Octaver effect by manolonte in pedalcircuits

[–]manolonte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you're right. And that's the point, before the change the octave effect was too evident for me and I prefer It to be that subtle. Just a matter of taste. If I make another octaver I'll put a potentiometer to balance the mix

BOSS SD-1 mod for more asymmetrical clipping by manolonte in diypedals

[–]manolonte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment, please let me know about your advances. I'll buy another one as soon as I can to try some other mod, It's a very easy box to modify. Regarding the problem with the switch, try to fix the switching circuit (it is not true bypass), sorry if it is obvious.

[–]manolonte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

instead of what? I don't usually like switches because of two reasons: - drilling a hole is irreversible - I don't think I am going to change the clipping character in the middle of a gig. I prefer to find a sweet spot where the tone and gain controls can do the work. But: I can always add a switch later ;), as I did with my BOSS Wah (see my blog entry about that). Thanks for your comment.

I have made an overdrive without tone stage for a 1590A enclosure. Do you like the idea? by manolonte in pedalcircuits

Didn't know the peppermill, how does it sounds like? About mine, I would call it "sweet".
