Early start to the day since the cat was squawking around the house all night to thank us for the 10 days in a cattery :mad:, so figured I'd knock this Suhr Riot Reloaded together. Sounds pretty beefy, especially with the switch in max gain mode. The KOT ate up the last of my JRC4580's so used NE5532 OP amps instead.

Said it before, but they do a great job. The Disarray (Riot clone) build docs were missing the schematics, so I e-mailed them and within 30 mins they replied with them attached. Love getting getting good service.

And new ones every few days. There's also a wish list on their forum where you can request certain pedals.

I've been through other PCBs from fuzzdog, aion, tayda, but pedalpcbs are far and away the nicest designed and nicest to look at. I think it helps to sell them down the line too when the insides are clean and mostly symmetrical like their boards are.

Drab day, so put this together. It's a Friedman Smallbox circuit, but I moved the voicing/gain structure toggle out to a separate foot switch given it sounded cool switched in/out without having to muck with the pots.
Knobs weren't the ones I wanted for it, but the PCB mounted pots were too close for the intended knob diameter :(

Sounds awesome.

As usual, lost interest in labelling it.

Figured since I liked Molly's 'The Dude' pedal I'd make my own. The worst I've ever made to date with resistor value variety!

The trick with The Dude is, IMHO to keep Ratio higher than Deep. That seems to work best.
