Pearl OC-7 Buid Report and a Question

[A.J.]

OK - not so much a build report other than I used Mundry's layout (in Italian, but not a problem) based on Zeta55's layout - No issues putting this together (totally stock) - and it worked pretty much right off.

I was getting a lot of noise from offboard wiring being close to the 4013's - sort of a distorted ghost note on the clean channel - moved the wiring around and used shielded cable - seems to have done the trick.  Is that normal for those chips?

I really like the sound of this thing - it tracks incredibly well all over the fretboard, even with my very low output Ricky. Works ok even with the bridge pickup.  Seems to work best being fed a clean signal - fuzz before it is not so good, TS works better.

Good clean sounding octave downs - no comparison to the Blue Box.  I'm a little worried for my speakers, but I can't stop playing this thing.  My girlfriend threatened to leave when I brought out the Meatball (that's a fun sound).

My only complaint is that the octave up is a bit lacking and could be a bit more pronounced - has anyone had any experience tweaking this?

Cool build - highly recommend this one - thanks Mundry and Zeta for putting this one together...
