CJ's Game Of Tones Build DOC

[GrindCustoms]

Hi guys, here's the link to CJ's Game of Tones pcb. Alot of people over here have bought some from me so i tought i could share it here instead of replying to a ton of private messages.

Some more informations and tweaks to what is already mentionned in the doc:

You can use any dual op-amp, they will all sound good, but i strongly recommend some Burr Brown, does a really nice job in this circuit, 4558 and 4580 also gave me really interesting results.

For the clipping switch, you can use a On/Off/On SPDT switch so you have LED/Lifted/Diodes options.

Note that in the Diode position you will have a significant drop of overall output but a real nice compressed Drive/Stortion sound, i recommend socketing these position so you can experiment.

Enjoy!

Just finished building a couple Rej, put a 4559 with 1N34As in the low gain setup and a 4580 with 1N914s in the high gain, nice combo.

Nice!

Have you made it Low Gain into High Gain or the opposite?

Sure is a nice combo, you've got a KOT killer right there

Low Gain into high gain, was going to put in a switch to reverse, but eight pots, four switches and two LEDs is really the limit for me in clean builds inside a BB.

Of note, I put the 500k in the high gain, it's a little much and definitely loses some definition, next time I build a high gain I'd probably put a 250k in (built a KOK like that and I love it).

If you've got any more boards, I'll take four more.  Got a couple other combo pedals I'd slap them in.

Thanks, Rej!  Is there a schematic available, or can I safely assume that this is the same circuit as other popular Bluesbreaker derivatives?    I've already built an Aristocrat (to specs) and would like to breadboard this one first.

I've got plenty of pcb left from this groupbuy, i ended getting much more than what i was suppose too

Here's the Zip File containing all the info needed.

Thanks for posting this! Just got my PCB's the other day and am stoked!

Great! Glad to hear they're slowly finding their homes!

Grind,
      I built the Aristocrat some time ago & wasn't impressed. I have a GGG Its-8 that I like, but I'm looking for something that I LOVE! Do you think I could get a pretty good tube screamer killer out of this project?

Hi B, i personnaly think that this OD is alot more flexible than a TS, it's a great sounding OD by itself and works really nice in front of a gainy tube head, also works really great with other dirt pedals.

I could'nt compare with the Aristocrat because i never tried one, but this circuit now holds a good place in my favorite OD's

In my opinion it worth the try, maybe other could chime in.

Thanks

Hey, Grindy, I got the boards in the mail. Thanks for posting the docs here ... I don't spend much time over on BYOC.

Awesome! have a happy building

Grind,
     Do you still have any of these pcb's?  I'd be interested in giving it a go if you do!

Sorry to revive this zombie thread, but the link to the Doc's is no longer available. I've got one almost built up, but need to know what the pot values are.  Thanks!
