Glad you like it. The layout in OP is verified but I can't see why the newer revisions wouldn't work. If any problems are found let me know and I'll update it.

Wow, I don't even remember making the OP. And that layout I did... that's atrocious...

Not that it helps much but here is a better set of layouts from when I revisited my .diy file a few months ago.

I also included the "modded gain range" values from the same source you found. Never had a chance to try it though since I gave my Guv'nor 1 with Deep Control away to a guy who used it on stage several times and loved it. (I need to get around to building the pedal again so I can use the spare deep board I have laying around in the "orphan circuits box.")

I think the biggest gripe I have is they don't even have the decency of putting a notice up.
Sort of the same way they never bothered to say why they stopped the occasional discounts. Just stopped.
To me that says alot. If they can't be bothered, then I can't be bothered to open my wallet.

I went to make an order at Tayda today and noticed Standard shipping was no longer listed. Wrote to them about it and received this in reply:


"Dear *****,

Unfortunately because of USPS price increases, we can't afford to offer the USPS shipping option anymore.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for choosing us.

Best Regards,

So now, the cheapest shipping starts at $10.98 for UPS Express Shipping on even the basic $5 order. I'm glad I made a big an order about three weeks ago. It'll be the last...
I thought folks would want to know that once again we are getting bent over the barrel.

One of the great questions of existence: Is it more disgusting to step in warm cat barf or cold cat barf? Does wearing socks help or multiple the disgust you feel?
To fully experience it one must step in both simultaneously while wearing only one sock. The quantum uncertainty principle as it pertains to socks and cat barf rules supreme in which outcome you receive.

Yes, I am in TN.

I'm glad ya'll liked it. I gave the pedal away but it was fun to mess around with while I had it.

If anyone has one of these PG-3 amps, please take a moment and see if yours has the value of the unknown capacitor listed on my schematic. All mine had was the polarity marked.

Also, does anyone know a source for the L channel rails I used on the box? I found the manufacture online but they only sell it by the ton ($2,100-$2,500). I don't quite need that much...

And one more pic.

Recently I found a bunch of guitar related things on the curb during my town's yearly junk day. There was a couple of small practice amps, Fender tuner, Realistic amplifier, cables, ect. Unfortunately, it was all in a five gallon bucket full of stank swamp water. Yeah, that was frustrating.
Anyways, I took the lot home, disassembled it all, and gave it a scrubbadub with a hose and a bristle brush out on the sidewalk. Amazingly, I got it all working.
One of the practice amps I found was a TS PG-3 Overdrive. It's one of the generic 3w amps you see with names like First Act, Ammoon, Aroma... The speaker was ruined and I wanted the 386 power amp for another project, so I dissected the overdrive circuit and built a pedal out of it. I added a switchable voltage doubler for fun and it worked pretty well.
Below is the schematic I drew up from the OD and the box I put it all into. The box is wood, originally a 80's Polo gift box with a slide-out lid. I covered it all in black patent leather and used the corners and rails from a busted storage box to dress it up a bit.

I could go point by point through all this but I'm not going to right a book.
I'm not going to be shamed into compliance by emotional appeals to the greater good or by force.
I do things because I want to. Not because I am told to.

If someone voluntarily, without being told to, self isolates, no liberty has been lost. When it gets dictated, as if from the seat of heaven itself, and is enforced at the point of a gun, (which it will be) then it IS a loss of Liberty.
That's the big difference, voluntarily, or enforced.

I don't think this will be any sort of short term anything and is going to lead to far more misery than any cold ever has. I've yet to ever see one right given away ever be returned willingly.
