Metropoulos Forum

Just got done building one of these. Little thing kicks major butt for what the circuit entailed. Gives you that "mojo" grit. I was actually expecting a lot less out of this pedal then what I actually was getting. Must try it through the Marshall now.

please Like to see some drawrings like Simon. got any schems? remember mike myers doing that saturday night live bit. anyways I digress

I love that pedal.

jerry, I used the values that R. K. has on his Geofex.com site and for the layout I used Dragonfly's vero board layout over at diystompboxes.com. You can get to the layout section through the forum link. I did not bias the pedal as per Geofex instruction, just the initial stock values. I am ordering the parts for my second RM. This time I will bias the pedal and see how much that makes a difference. I was really freaking impressed that the pedal worked the first time I hooked everything up.

One thing though that I need to see on my next build is that I believe the pot hookup on the RM layout is backwards. I had to reverse the wires going to the outer lugs to get the standard clockwise=on rotation. Either that or Mouser accidentally sent me a reverse log pot. One thing I would say is get the pot from Small Bear if you are thinking on building one. The 16mm log pots that Mouser sells are indented(stepped), where Small Bear's are not.
