  1. Just build this one, all the controls are working but the pedal sounds like a gated fuzz. You can only hear it on the transients. Double checked everything

    2. Allright thanks for looking anyway :) I guess there must be a faulty component or something. I've build this testbox (from tagboardfx) with a probe bananapluginput but I don't really know how to use it.

    3. If I'm reading it correctly, it looks like there is 1M resistor in the top left that is connected to the Gate on both ends, whereas one end should be connected to the drain.

    5. The two 1M resistors at the top left... the one on the left, move the top one row up. The one on the right, move both ends of the resistor one row down. I think that's the quickest fix.

    7. I cannot test it on a good volume right now but I think that it's working as it should now! Will verify it tomorrow, thx Michael

    8. Okay with Michael's corrections it is veryfied! Reacts really marshall-like. More gain introduces more low end, it sounds great!

  2. I hope someone can help me out :P @Fuzzhead, can I request a layout for this pedal https://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2017/05/crazy-tube-circuits-starlight.html I was really impressed by this one when testing it out.

    1. I have an unfinished layout at home. I'll try to finish it during the nextcoming weekend when I get home.:-)

    2. That would be great! Really impressed with these pedals, the ones with build-in tubes are also really nice sounding.
