The simpliest solution appears to be the best. Everything works properly after switching DC Jack wiring.



Thank you.

Still i wonder why - wiring schematics indicate that DC jack's TIP should be wired to +9V and in my DC jack TIP is connected with bigger lug. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I will switch my pictures for "more useful" version in case of future questions and as an example of "how no to ..."

Please also find my wiring schematics... finally it all cames to the same design.

Hi Gents,

I have a problem with sabertooth too...
I've soldered everything and the issue is that when bypassed i can hear the bass, when on 1N4001 is gettin extremely hot and all I can hear is constant "buzzing"

Any Ideas?
(I'm a complete noob so don't be angry if the answer is obvious)

Thank you for your suggestions. I will check biasings.

Effect doesn't act like this in all settings. I can confirm that in "some positions" of BITE it sounds OK.
Still - it's like more than 65-75% of range/scope that is unusable and this kind of sabertoothts behaviour I cannot accept.

Firts things first.

Hello to All 


Second thing yet not less important.

I've built a saberooth clone and I have a problem.

I hit the bass string (i use it with my bass - yeah!) and the sound lasts for lets say 3 seconds and after that volume rises and slowly falls down to the level of the sound just after hitting the strings (just as if an jest engine started for moment and after few seconds began to slow down again)

I'm not sure whether it is problem with input signal level or something with capacitors.

Thank you in advance.
