Built an Odie

[Danny G]

Built an Odie the other night, can't say I like it very much.  But I think there's something wrong.  Sounds kinda scratchy and farty.  I used my DMM to tune in 4.5 v on the trimpots, but still scratchy/farty.

I may have done something wrong, I put it together real quickly.  Also had to improv a bit--had no 680K resistors, so I put 580K w/100K in series.  Also had to use a 3.3k instead of a 3k.  Can't believe I forgot so many parts when I went to the store.

I just put my Tube Reamer in a box.  That's a little kick ass number of a pedal.  Sounds much better as a stand-alone stomper than my BSIABII.  Still testing it out on my stage rig.  Sounds pretty damn good there, too!

Nice ckt, ain't it.  Do you like how it's full gain up all the time?

 >>> I didn't notice any 'S & F' with my Odie build, sounds like a thing that should not be, possibly anything like a cap leaky or

 >>>don't know where the 3k3 is or whether 3k should work, probly does, tag a 330ohm with it [series]...

Tube Reamer is a good one! What's the Opamp in it?

A 741.  Great build!  Loud as hell, easily tweakable to your tastes.
