The Boomstick and Krankosaurus are both very cool. Be sure to use the 5K reverse audio pot - a linear alternative doesn't work out as well as one might think.

I used the proper diodes, no substitutions. I am not so sure the switching is working correctly. On one channel, one of the positions doesn't work at a ll ( no output), and on the other channel, there is no apparent difference between switch positions. I will recheck the board in these areas before I go further as your question implies that the switching could be impacting level. In will post agin when I know more.

Thanks,

Nobody?

I've built the Aristocrat, and what I have noticed is that the level coming out of this pedal is very low. Both sides (channels) are behaving the same way. If I crank the volume all the way up, and put the drive on about 12 oclock, the level is a little above the bypassed level, but not by that much.

Note: I used JRC4558D chips instead of the JRC4580's called for.

Is this normal? Is the different chip an issue?

Thanks,
Steve
