E...Hi Guys !<br />I have some problems with this one ...<br />Effect sounds like it should (Old Marsall tone), it makes his job, but have (very) low output volume ... (lower than bypass volume except all pots are full !!!) and "light" gain (middle with my LP but almost "clean" with my strat RI62) ...<br />Anyboby have the same ??<br /><br />(sorry for my language ... i'm french, not too good in english ! lol)<br /><br />for information, I didn't find exact values for 200k resistor and 200p cap (R1 & R14 are 220k, C2 is 220pF)<br /><br />Is it possible that's the pb's cause ?<br />C10 is not 3nF but 3.3nF<br />for this cap, I've used this one :<br />http://www.banzaimusic.com/Evox-Rifa-MKI-3-3nF-100V.html<br /><br />Is it ok ?<br /><br />Thanks a lot !!!

The SCOD was used heavily in rehearsals, gigs and recordings, clumsily stepped on while abusing the knobs (and probably unwillingly stepping on them, as well). NOTHING ever happened to it. And the customer service they provide is excellent, too. <br /><br />So, to cut a long story short... do your research on the net and in forums, ask around and get opinions before believing posts such as Con's (or even mine for that matter).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538755201725495891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126694935311992807.post-835191348574335592010-02-10T15:53:35.935+00:002010-02-10T15:53:35.935+00:00I have owned and used many C-bread pedals.

We've built 1000s of pedals with this method and have yet to have one pot or switch go bad as a result of being PCB mounted. <br /><br />As far as customer service, we have a guy, Erksin, who answers inquiries daily (Mon-Fri). If that ain't good enough call me 12PM-9PM PST Mon-Fri (503)407-5712<br /><br />In 7 years I've always honored warranty. NEVER have I rejected a warranty. So lets not make up stories, ok!? If you find this tone insulting, hate it for you. I am defending myself.<br /><br />@ Mr. Briggs... Thank you for backlinking this page to ours @ Catalinbread! I've seen some killer looking DIY Dirty Little Secrets as a result of your page!<br /><br />NicholasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126694935311992807.post-31270620951721322752009-07-16T07:49:58.603+01:002009-07-16T07:49:58.603+01:00@Con - that's why we build it DIY-style! :-)
