Just noticed Scruffie already posted about it. Oh well, still good news!

Heads up to everyone. The XVives are available at Smallbear. He showed 500 in stock. I just knocked it down to 498 

Great! I thought I was reading that correctly, but I've still got a lot to learn. Thank you for the peace of mind. I would've just LOVED frying out-of-production BBDs...

Forgive my ignorance, but I need help interpreting the MN3007 and MN3008 datasheets. I built a regulated power supply that shows 15.15V at each output. I plan to power my DM-2 and Deluxe Electric Mistress clones with it. Is that extra .15V too much for the BBDs? I see the absolute max voltage is 18V- I think...

All my voltages seemed on par, so I tried my Strat through this thing tonight for the first time. Much better results than my PRS. This thing is apparently much more sensitive than I realized and doesn't like my humbuckers as much as single coils.

Yeah, I read through that thread and it made me check those.  Everything looks good with the vactrols.  The fact that one side of the range switch sounds awesome makes me think the problem lies in the signal chain of the other side of the range switch.  I'll try and measure my voltages tonight to compare them to the ones in your thread.

Troubleshooting my own Nautilus build and found this thread.  Mine is doing the exact same thing.  One range setting is incredible, but the conventional filter setting is very thin and in the background.  Some of the settings on the rotary get no sound at all.  I've reflowed the solder and checked for bridges to no avail.  I know from reading other threads that this thing has to be dialed in just right, so I'm just wondering if this is the way it's supposed to sound.
