I figured that it could well be down to my transistor values as they are generally a tad smaller than 'JaviCap's' values listed above (apart from Q4 which are larger), who claims his are right. The only small issue I have is with the sustain pot where it only appears to only kick in properly for the last 10% or so of the pot (so 50k to 100k of the supplied log pot), below that it seems to cut the sound of the pedal altogether.

Hi Zach, no problem, I have read through the build guide and now completed the pedal with some success. So, I have to tell that while its sound is just unbeliable when used with battery, with power supply, is still a bit noisy, and the filtering cap CHANGES / affects the tone, so I believe, this is a clear candidate to be always powered with battery and forget about the PS. While with battery works awesome, with power supply is a unbearable noisy box, so I had to add the filtering cap, but did it on the DC jack, not on the board, so, it just operates when pluged to the power supply.įor what I could read about, this effect did not have protection diode, nor filtering cap. I've built it without diode and without filtering cap. (You can get nearly ALL big muff versions there).

I've used Mark's layout, but with slightly different values, as I wanted to build the first "Violet" (V.2 Rev 4) that you can get on The kit comes with a DC adapter, if you're looking at buying a power supply for it then you want one that is 9VDC, centre negative, and depending what other pedals you may want to power from the same supply, I would think 100mA would be plenty for this pedal. For alumnium go for the EN012, or the EN013 again if you want plenty of space to make the installation and offboard easier. But if you do want ABS box it would fit in an EN002, or opt for the EN003 if you want plenty of room. You will need to cut it down to size, and you will be left with a bit over which you could make a couple of extra pedals out of.ĪBS boxes won't offering any shielding against noise and so especially for something like this I would prefer not to use one. Yes only 18x17 holes are needed, but Bitsbox of course have to provide the next size up in their standard stripboard which in this case is 24x36. If you're not bothered about the battery then 2 x mono sockets will do. If you intend to use a battery as well as a DC adapter then you'll need 1 x stereo and 1 x mono sockets.
