I built a Tight Metal. I know there's around the schematic of the Tight Rock and I thought to build one day a kind of version between those two pedals: a sort of Tight metal but not so heavy and more rock than metal.
Your pedal sounds great!
in case any one who wanted to hear Baja Presence and Resonance before they build it, here is a short demo that i uploaded in my Facebook account. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4030681353610728&id=100000067104937 I like your Khaos Distortion. Do you share the schematic? Or at least...
I built it and like it very much (I used 10n between vol 1 &3 which helps a lot to control the highs), the only "issue" I'm having is that even with the gain pot rolled back all the way CCW I have a ton of gain, any idea how I could solve this ? Thanks PedalPCB has in the schematic a ...

I noticed just one difference between your redrew schematic and the one from PedalPCB: https://www.pedalpcb.com/docs/PedalPCB-FuzzXIII.pdf The 4.7M to the ground is 1M in the PedalPCB schematic. I designed my layout from a schematic you can found here: http://guitar-fx-layouts.42897.x6.nabble.com/Ba...
Probably, in this kind of circuit the input cap doesn't make too much difference. If you want to cut low end try to reduce C4 cap: 1uF, 220nF... But it will make some difference at higher gain setting, not a bad way, anyway. In alternative try to reduce the output cap C3. Let us to know about your e...
I don't know how much difference do those ICs, but consider that a C25k pot setted at 50% is about like a B25k setted at 90%.
In this circuits (if there's no other difference) with your B25k you should get lower Presence and Deep setting than the original one (or than a C25k pots one).
Sorry, maybe I typed wrong early about the big cap. I mean C6, in you schematic is 22uF. (The output cap 2.2uF I think is ok). But that 22uF give a lot of bass.
There are others 22k resistors in the board, so you can compare the color, too.
With C22 C6 22uf we get a huge bass boost. So huge that it seems wrong.
Are you sure that C6 is a 22uF. It could be a 0.22uF.
And is R7 a 22k and not a 10k?
And what abut the 51R at the begin of the schematic? That means the circuit is not full grounded when it bypassed?
I don't know this fuzz, but looking at the schematic I can tell you something about the Volume. The wiring is unusual, and for some reason it doesn't work on my software emulator, so I can't be sure about I'm going to tell you. Anyway, I see that it brings to the ground not the output but the circui...
Yes, I saw it, that's a nice version, too.
I'm building the Speaker Cranker in a 1590A box with just two pots (I added a master volume), and I love it just like that. But thanks for the suggestion.
I solved it.
I had 10k resistors that was acutally 1k!
That cut a lot of gain, indeed. I found it because trying a 12k resistor it made a lot of difference.
(A little trick: a 100-330pF cap between collector and base cut the harshness.)
Indeed, on my Speaker Cranker board (not my breadboard) I have the three 1N60P, and I got a bit of more distortion, but my opinion is I have, anyway, very low gain. I'll try to explain. If we hear the original Speaker Cranker the pot goes from 0 to 10. On my build is like the pot goes from -5 to 5. ...
Hi guys. I built on stripboard my Speaker Cranker after I tried it very quickly on the breadboard getting a nice sound, but without to know too much how the original sounds. But now I noticed that I have drop volume with the More pot at min, and I got just a bit of dirty sound at higher setting, tha...
There's a 68nF cap, I guess C4 in a Joyo Ultimate Drive schematic I found. Replacing it with a 330nF could make a big difference in the low end when you increase the gain. You could replace, maybe C2 22nF, the input cap after the buffer (because the Joyo should have a mosfet buffer) with a 1uF.
