Grats @dylan159 you are famous

I recommend never testing anything with a footswitch. It's just an unnecessary source of problems until the effect is actually being boxed. The footswitch is the last thing I wire in, and only after I know the effect works properly without it. Then it's easy troubleshooting if it doesn't work after ...

Did you adjust the trim pot?

I'm using DIYLC for vero, tagboard and p2p layouts. I use EasyEDA for pcbs, and love that it's free, easy to use and web based.

Found this gutshot of a 2017 "limited edition" with golden finish. Easier to see some of the traces on this PCB. I'm guessing lug 2 is connected to the output through a trace on the bottom side, but the two 110k resistors in this one, are those just between lug 1 and 3 to modify the pot?: ...

Found some more gutshots of different units on the web:

There are a few different types of treble bleed circuits. The Kinman one is really nice (I use a 1nF cap with a 150k resistor), and from what I've read it's the same as in the expensive Fender Tone Saver unit: https://http2.mlstatic.com/set-capacitor-treble-bleed-guitarra-0001uf-vintage-60s-D_NQ_NP_...

I have only made EQD Disaster Transport Jr and Deep Blue Delay. Disaster Transport seemed to have a lot more clarity, and I really like it for guitar. Could probably try using a more hi-fi chip than the original TL072 for it too. For bass I prefer Deep Blue Delay, since it seems deeper and bassy.

Found this comparison on a Japanese site with a couple gutshots. The CE-2w has surface mount construction and using Coolaudio V3207/3102 https://i1484.jp/2017/11/ce-2/report-33154.html

I solved it. :) I had 10k resistors that was acutally 1k! :slap: 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.) Southampton Fifth Gear is a pretty cool take on the ...

Thanks for the verification! Can you confirm the value of the bass pot, P1 = 220k log in my schematic? This doesn't comply with the 1M log value in the original Ampeg tone circuit. I measured across the pot lugs, and it actually measures 1M. I was wondering about the strange 220k value myself. The ...

Got hold of one of the new ones, really loving it! Besides the mod-switches, it seems to be the same as the old version. After testing the switches, I instantly preferred one setting on both switches. I compared the settings with the Ampeg B15 schematic (the tone stack is re-scaled a bit), and the s...

Finally got around to breadboard one of these, sounds nice on both bass and guitar. Tested it with a strat and tried different heat values. I found 5K a bit subtle, 10K was a lot better. Then a big jump up to 50K just to try the extremes, but it was mostly harsh fuzz territory imo. Then I tried 25K,...

This one has become very popular among bassists. It's extremely similar to EQD Speaker Cranker. I've read people claiming that this one is a lot more controllable and can go lower gain than the Speaker Cranker.

Came across a gutshot of this new one from Bearfoot, basically a Bearfoot Blueberry Bass OD with an added treble control: Source: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/bearfo ... e.1472050/

The new compact version has two 3-way toggleswitches for input filtering and EQ contour. Here is the manual: http://www.barberelectronics.com/Linden_compact.pdf The input switch is the SPDT on top that seems to be a resistor to ground at least and connected to the bottom of the board. The contour sw...

Some gutshots found on the web of the new smaller version, and comparison with the big old one:

@nimrodthebomber could you post some pictures of the resistors going into the drive pots? I believe it's R16 on the high-gain side, R17 on low-gain side. There was a gutshot in the Facebook group where this resistor has clearly been painted a red band (stock 1k) over a yellow band (100k) on the high...

This gutshot was posted of a high gain side. Look at the resistor going into lug 1 on the drive pot here. According to the new tracing, it's should be a 100k (brown-black-YELLOW), but here it is a 1k (brown-black-RED). Now look closely on the red band... It's clearly painted on there, and you can ev...
