Looks like the SMT parts are hand soldered. Interesting.

Yes, the couple of older ones I saw around 2007 or so were AC128.

The schematic on page 1 of this thread is correct. Check that to verify. :horsey:

Hmm, it shouldn't have only a subtle effect. It's actually rather pronounced on the production units.

Yes, indeed. I "appropriated" it directly from the ProCo Rat. Specific details here: https://www.electrosmash.com/proco-rat

Re: Function f(x) Clusterfuzz [traced]

To get a little more treble response from this pedal, would I just change the input capacitor? output cap? What capacitor in the tone area would I play around with to change the effect of the tone control? Any advice? Reduce the value of the smaller Filter switch cap (4n7) to something like 1n...or...

Re: Function f(x) Clusterfuzz [traced]

In the demos I have seen of this pedal there doesn't usually seem to be a huge volume drop when they switch to the 2 Si options. Any thoughts on what the cause is here? Either they adjusted the volume in editing, or they have some kind of automatic level control going on. There is a MASSIVE volume ...

I'm not a huge fan of board-mounted footswitches for production pedals, but otherwise this one looks like a pretty tight build.

Re: Triton Delay - Adding the "Glide" from EchoCzar to PT2399 [documentation]

Yep. Basically it just uses the R/C filter as a "bleed off" of current from pin 6. The time it takes to switch from one to the other is a function of the frequency of the R/C filter.

Yep! The purple one is UV printed. The other one I laser etched. It’s easier to etch or print first. At least for me.

Re: Function f(x) - Gate Crasher

Ah, I figured R1 could be the pulldown, because the signal has to come from the relay to go to the 4049. C1 might also go to gnd at the input. Correct on both. What you have drawn is almost exactly right. The few variances won't make a difference in functionality, but might change tone slightly. Do...
