I've uploaded a new pic of my Dipthonizer build.

https://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v406/tbarros/

A while ago, I deleted the layout pic cause it had some errors.
I etched 2 pcbs with the old layout, and finally got both working.
But, it doesn't sound "vocal" yet....
So, I'm figuring ways to tweek the filters to change the frequencies.

Hey guys...

I built the Madbean Honeydripper project and have a few questions (they have been posted over there as well).

1) I cannot get this thing to fuzz. At best it slightly growls. I've tried various diode combinations but cannot get anywhere near the fuzz I've heard in various demos. I have check, rechecked and checked again for improper values, solder bridges, cold solder joints, etc. but no luck. At best it sounds like it's clipping (and not in the good way).

2) In an attempt to correct the fuzz issue I found some discrepancies in the documentation schematic versus the redrawn original schematic. They are listed below -

Madbean R10 = 1K, Original = 100k
Madbean R17 = 4k7, Original = 10k (thought to be 4k7 but later revised to 10k)
Madbean R27 = 220K, Original = 270K

Everything else works like a champ but I'd like to know how much fuzz I should be expecting and what about the resistors in question. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

It's a really cool pedal, Boris! I'm glad I got a chance to own it.

I did that. May I call this thread to your attention: https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic ... 19&t=25183

Is there any up-to-date layout for this build? Links are dead?
