I was wondering, since I see no trim pots on the photo image above, how to set them. They look like they’re set up to control the drain off of the transistors. If that’s the case, are we looking around 4.5? Thanks, Matt

I’ve build one, but I got some problems with a whistling noise when turning on the bright switch, and I think the output seams very low, way lover than bypassed? Any help?
Thanks in advance.

I’m finding that the Bright switch doesn’t seem to do much. How much of a difference does it make in your buiilds of the pedal? I’m wondering if I got something wrong or if it’s just subtle. Thanks!

Just built your excellent layout and it works great through my amp. However, when I route it though my condor cab sim I get an annoying crackel. I have tried different Bias settings without success, what should the Bias readings be? Any ideas?

Actually, I found the link and here on Gaussmarkov! It’s the Tone Reaper – http://gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/gallery/g-colliers-runoffgroove-thor/

Just wondering if you got GColliers layout with the added tonestack? I would love to add a tonestack to my Thor.

Hi Nicko,

It sounds like you think the layout is the issue, but that isn’t likely. Others have used this layout with success. More than likely there is a bias problem somewhere.

If you are unsure about the voltage levels, I suggest you ask the friendly people on Aron’s diystompboxes.com. My site isn’t really setup for debugging.

All the best, gaussmarkov
