How does this one sound? Ithis is one of the ones I want to do this summer

I'd love to get an Ecstasy clone

A friend of mine gave me a Little Big Muff to fix. I can't figure out what's wrong with it. Any help would be great. Signal is passing through while it's disengaged. When you turn it on the LED comes on but 0 sound comes through. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've recently picked up a dyna comp and I'd like to know some mods to do with it. It's a pretty cheap pedal and I figured It'd be perfect to mod up. True Bypass, Vintage specs, etc. Let me know if you know of any articles etc

I think it would be a great idea to have a mini comp PCB that would fit into a 1590a enclosure for those of us who have cramped boards. I for one would pick one up

Great idea!

nice! If I ever build a sunking i'm doing the same thing to my enclosure

Well the JRC4580D's came in today and they made a huge difference! unfortunately I received a ticket this past tuesday. I kinda want to keep it too. Oh well

^^ Ahh ok. I gotcha. I used a 4.7K on both. I'll try and up the value before I sell it if I do. It's very annoying having them both different brightnesses.

When I sell it/ if I sell it how much should I ask? I was thinking $150? That should give me plenty more to make another build. I'm also trying to buy a Classic Vibe Custom Tele so maybe that'll help me with that.

I'm not dead set on selling it yet. Gonna give it one more shot with the 4580D when I can get it in there.

I'm really bummed this pedal didn't sound like I wanted it to. I was super hyped! lol

Thought I would update with the knobs on it.

Unfortunately this OD does not mesh well with my amp at all. It sounds good with my small amp but when I plug it into my V22 it just doesn't sound good. Bummer. I guess I'll be selling it to fund some more builds

I'm surprised that you don't like it given that we play similar music.  It has been my go to pedal for the last few years.  What diodes did you use?  I prefer the 4580D chip rather than the 4558 - gives it a bit more clarity and more transparent. What is it that you don't like about it maybe you could just mod it to your taste?

I used all the original diodes that it called for. The only sub I used was for the IC. I just got an email saying my 4580D should be in when I get back on campus after this week. I'll give it another shot when that comes in.

It's weird though, I liked the pedal on my small 5 watt practice amp a lot. Thought it sounded great. But when I played it sunday morning on my V22 it just didn't mesh well. I think I remember madbean saying for some reason he felt that his personal Aristocrat didn't sound very good on his AC15. the V22 is fairly Vox voiced so maybe that's my problem. Oh well. This will definitely not be my last build by any means!

That is insanly bright!!! What value did you use for your CLR?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by CLR but yes the blue LED is ridiculously bright! I put a purple one in the left and it's perfect. I guess that's the nature of the beast when it comes to blue LEDs. Note taken lol

I've seen taylors board before on ebay for an "upscaled" price....

That might have been what I saw

jkokura, how much did the project end up costing you?

I think this might be my next build. Or the sunking

Cool, I was only aware of the one I've seen on eBay. How does his Tremolo sound in comparison to the cusack, diamond etc

Hey madbean, would it be possible to do a tap trem? I've seen a PCB on eBay but I trust your builds much more

Very tight squeeze! That's why those caps are bent down lol
