If your circuit doesn't work correctly be sure to try turning the 1815's the other way. With mine they were opposite. Don't know why! Don't know what to think of this circuit. I see some don't like it. It doesn't sound that bad to me but I haven't been able to play it much.

There is too much gain (maybe just the resistance in the gain circuit needs to be shifted), there arent enuogh highs or there is too much high end content. the lows and mids just sound boring. I dont know... im not into this circuit at all and i'm feeling like something isnt quite right about it. i'm 99% sure mine build is correct according to layout. but it just sounds boring, more boring than another boutique tubescreamer ;)<br />ill post voltages soonGoldenmonkeycolorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15980829818332614750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-11606362974417396042014-09-23T16:07:44.459+01:002014-09-23T16:07:44.459+01:00Try 100p in place of 47p/51p.

My build sounds great, but when the switch is in middle position and the Tone knob is turned all the way up I'm getting high pitched oscillation in the background. Is it normal? When I turn down the Tone a little, oscillation disappears. I also used 22n instead of 20n and 47p instead of 51p.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573473469398853429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-78501981007515444352014-05-10T23:24:10.953+01:002014-05-10T23:24:10.953+01:00Ok, I'll check that out.
There is something ...Ok, I'll check that out. <br /><br />There is something I'm noticing about this circuit, I've played the actual DOD and I feel like there's a bit of some mid's and low's lacking. Also it feels like the Drive pot needs to be dropped down to a 500k. I searched around and I've seen schematics with a 500k in there. It does feel like it's got more gain than the original circuit, any modifications you could recommend to address the mids and lows? I am pretty sure I am going to replace that drive pot since I've got to take it apart to find where the DC is hitting my input. But while I've got it out if I can change around some values on filter caps I'd be much grateful for your advice. <br />Appreciate all you do!

More likely you've got an unwanted bridge caused by solder or a burr with the row below the input which is connected to the supply via a 4K7 resistor, <br /><br />That's the area to look at, so I'd suggest knifing the gaps and tidying up any soldering around there.IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-79083798411748423912014-05-03T22:34:50.052+01:002014-05-03T22:34:50.052+01:00Hey guys.... any idea why I would be getting 9v on...Hey guys.... any idea why I would be getting 9v on the input?

I didn't like the link in the same hole as the Volume 1 wire, so I shifted things about a bit so I could put the link further down the rows.

Check for an unwanted bridge around there, or maybe a bad solder joint. No idea why you'd get no output in the diode lift position though, all that does is remove all diodes from the feedback loop and shouldn't mute it. Are you sure the switch is ok?IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-51372614496493584162012-10-27T11:38:20.084+01:002012-10-27T11:38:20.084+01:00Hi, Mark.
