Does this new IC chips has more output power than the original?

You need an adaptor for your Rocket wrenches to fit a cordless drill.

just letting you know i came here *because* of the video length, since i was looking for some in-depth/thorough examination :)

You really need to film through a magnifying lens. Btw this pedal is spectacularly accurate... I grew up playing my dads mint Silvertone 1484.

C100k filter pot - is it wired backwards vs normal rat?

Ilysm, thank you i was literally looking everywhere for a vid like that

Another excellent video, Joe. Would discussing why Alfonso included the 2N7000s with the Gate and Source connected be too nerdy for your subscribers? It's a very interesting feedback loop. Excellent lighting and audio in your productions.

A very interesting video, well presented, videoed and edited. Great job.

Very cool layout!Thanks' for posting!🥂

Hmm not keen on paying $200+ for non digital SMD pedals. I feel the dramatically less labour intensive mfg process should result in cheaper unit price.

Would de soldering the foot switch also work?

You should build a HIGH GAIN metal amp

I built the RullyWow Queen of Bones II, also a clone. Sounds identical.

perfect video, thank you!

The best Fuzz sound is achieved with not more than 2 low gain germanium transistors. The tonebender mk1.5 schematic is the best basis to build your own circuit imo.

Hi! Did you make that board yourself ? What are those green placers for the pots ? Great idea. I'm new to this but looks awesome.

Why on earth is his stuff so goddam expensive?! He's not doing anything groundbreaking whatsoever... all of his stuff could have been released 60+ years ago. I don't get it. Either way, I appreciate you doing this!

for the PEI Static pedal

Praise be for this very helpful video! I just opened up my non-powering up 1982 CE-2 and did a visual inspection.. all looked ok other than some visual corrosion on the jacks. Turned out a little Deoxit got it working again. One interesting thing I learned while doing this was the metal body of the Boss pedals actually completes the circuit. (I think) Thanks!

This is great, I watched all the way through

Helpful test, unfortunately the PNP ger transistors I test have the same voltage across the collector resistor when it's on or off, I guess that is 100 % leakage or Zero gain 😢

Excellent instructional video, thank you!

I half expected to see another wait list inside the pedal.

Hola. Gracias. Tu vídeo me hizo investigar. Tengo el Boss CE-2 desde hace muchos años. Durante mucho estuvo sin funcionar hasta que lo abrí y conecté un cable que estaba desoldado. Luego lo he estado usando habitualmente colocado en la pedalera con el resto de pedales a 9 voltios durante un par de años, hasta que ayer dejó misteriosamente de funcionar. Yo notaba que la luz led no era muy potente, pero funcionaba. A raíz de esto busqué vídeos, entre ellos este, para buscar soluciones que fui probando y seguía sin funcionar. Cometía dos errores. El primero era usar un alimentador standar con positivo interior, y el segundo era usar una corriente continua de 9 voltios, tal y como había estado usando durante un par de años (aunque con polaridad cambiada, tal y como ya he indicado). Tras limpiarlo concienzudamente con alcohol isopropílico y hacer todas las pruebas pertinentes, seguía sin funcionar, hasta que el la última probé con 12 vol y positivo exterior, y BINGO. Lo que sigo sin entender es como ha estado dos años funcionando a 9 voltios con la alimentación del resto de pedales. Misterios de la vida. Saludos desde el sur de España

I have one and only use the Boost mode, I can not play without one now. It makes everything sound so much better. I leave it on 100% of the time. Level, Treble and Bass knobs at 12 o'clock, Gain at zero. This will keep your exact clean tone just louder. First pedal in the chain. Best $25 you'll ever spend. I'm not a fan of Fuzz but they are pretty well done too.

one of my favorite pedals by far. Shout out to AionFX for having hands down the best build docs i have ever seen. No one comes close

sorry if i missed it but what brand were the I/O jacks? neutrik?

Just built this yesterday from AionFX’s kit and it’s an amazingly-designed board. Worth noting that I didn’t have to dremel away the IC socket at all. The instructions for the kit (with their pre-packaged resistors) have you solder on the IC socket first and then install the resistors inside of it. Clever of you for making these other resistors work.

Simon is the real deal.

there has to be a difference in the clipping or gain knob part.. For whatever reason i find the timmy a ear grating /klangy mess when i turn up the gain- while the lightspeed gain knob is one of the best i have heard..

THIS IS SO COOL, great work and thank you

I played Muff’s for almost 30 years, then I finally got a RAT. I’m from Kzoo, shame on me.

What are those 1000uF caps for?

i ALSO TEXTED YOU ON YOUR REVERB STORE

hI. i HAVE THE CLONE YOU MADE OF THE ZAP MACHINE. lOVE IT. BEEING YOUVE MADE SO MANY VIDEOS OF THE SS/BS MINI PEDAL COULD YOU MAKE A CLONE OF THAT ONE?

For the input and output jacks I bought mono jacks with 4 solder lugs. The pedalboard pcb wiring schematic only shows 2 pins on each jack. Any clue if the 4 pin jacks are good to go and how I would have to accommodate for the 2 extra lug pins per jack?

My special cranker rev 2F looks different,

Hey, this was a great video. Could you explain how to add a channel switching 1/4” output to this pedal like the fortin 33 has?

Cool project, even tough the building technique is senseless. There is no benefit whatsoever in terms of circuit efficiency, RF interference reduction, or any discernible audio quality with this "point to point" build, in fact there are several disadvantages. Rule number one that apply to any electronic project is "lead solder is for electrical connection only, never to be used as structural joint". At a bear minimum use eyelets, if you really hate any sort of board. You are in the position to inspire new pedal builders, please don't overlook the basics.

Gorgeous circuit board. I have clone style type from BYOC that I built around 10 years ago.

What size buss wire did you go with?

That’s an impressive build ! Great job 👏

dude i love your videos !! really interesting but why are you still chewing your nails like a child ? Dude it looks so disgusting !

If you'd like to bypass the step of putting test sockets in to try various diodes, just get some that will definitely improve the Centura - ITT germanium diodes. I've done it, sounds much better - less mushy. Analog Man does the same thing, he does an upgrade on the Centura and uses a different diode but said to me that either would work well. (This refers to people watching, not you Joe, because clearly you wanted to test a few)

I wonder, have you ever looked inside a…big muff? 🥴

do you have the gerber files for the pcb that make breadboarding a bit easier? thinking of usint this for my schools pedal club

Solid work & vid thank u. Do u use lead free solder?

Where did you get those little green handheld nut drivers? Those look really handy for pedals. Great breakdown btw! I'm just getting into building stuff, and getting more interested in how circuits work.

Got no idea what he is doing, but as a once owner of a Hiwatt (Custom 50) amp in the 70s, I find this brilliant to watch (especially with a cold beer!). Great editing/footage, I would love to have one of those Custom 20 Watt heads.
