    1. Yes! It was just a headsup. Just add the input to the K row and call it verified

  4. If you are wondering if it sounds as good as people say, just build it. Sounds friggin awesome

  5. I'm struggling to find the 1.5uf caps (in the UK) all box types I find top out at 1uf... anyone got any ideas?

    1. I had the same issue recently and ended up using a 1uf and 470nf in parallel to get as close as I could. It actually came out at 1.48uf.

    2. I've Just bought some German made 1.5uf caps from China. What could possibly go wrong?

  6. Smart.... I saw some gut shots of this and couldn't see anything particularly big in There (unless stuff is mounted under the main board)

  8. Amazingly versatile boost/OD!
    Boxed it in a 1590bb for now, have to neaten it up a bit, but it works.
    Thnx for the layout and schematic!

  10. Thanks ! Very good modified Timmy.
    @ fuzzhead : I've just traced the schematic and the layout of the Soloist from an original sent me for repair if you're interested.

    1. Not having a dig mate, but didn't you suspect they were going to be dodgy fakes or were you just taking a chance? Were they from AliExpress by any chance?

  12. Excellent Overdrive. I didn't have 1.5uf caps at first but paralleling two worked fine. The Glass setting on the tone switch is a little too 'glassy' for my taste but overall a great O.D.

  13. The tracing journal Aion just put up on this is a fascinating read.
