  2. Really great, man. I'm in the clouds! And much better with the NE5532 instead of that shitty and pricy hi-fi 2134. But I must go now: Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer is waiting!... :O)

  3. Its really sweet transparent overdrive and yes indeed it sounds really similar to Timmy. Thank you for the great layout 😁

  4. I just noticed that the PedalPCB version of this circuit (https://www.pedalpcb.com/docs/PedalPCB-Mach1.pdf) includes a pair of 22uf capacitors in the power supply section that are not found on this vero. Can you tell me if these have any influence on the functionality of this build?

  5. I built this today. I wasn't expecting much I guess. It's an overdrive, but a nice sounding one. The two 22uf caps on the power were probably intended for power filtering. I didn't see a 100uf on the schematic. Anders probably simplified the noise filtering. Sounds right to me. Thanks

  8. I tested it with opa2134 and NE5532, I prefer the NE5532 because it gives more brightness and clarity to the sound.

  9. The 500K gain knob works better linear. Great pedal!

  10. This came out super, thanks! I used what I had: tlc2272, 1N4007s, a pair of 47pf in parallel, 1M vol, 10k linear tone. Extra gain but sounds right.
    Thinking of playing with the extra diode - DPDT, matched diode one way, odd diode the other, *no diode* might give it a bit of a "Timmy" mode. What do you think?
