You should not have any audio at all on pin 7. If you have then there is a big problem. Photos of the pcb your working on would help more than voltages

So VA is just a 9V supply, the reason its acting on the distortion of the circuit is because its powering up the IC chip. There will be something else at fault. Have you just taken fuzzdogs circuit and put it on your own PCB? or are you using the fuzzdog pcb? Most RAT pedals, most but not all, have that same issue with the Distortion pot going from nothing to full gain within a short amount. Installing a Ruetz mod can help it. Using a C100 can also help.

Not yet, I was swamped with Bass Show prep after xmas, will give it more thought again soon

Where was he at the show? Upstairs? I didn't see him once all weekend.

Good morning! Well, what a weekend! Absolutely brilliant show! Like others have said its such an improvement from last year. I'd like to think I had some input on the event, from the day after last years event I email Jason the organiser begging him for our own space again and he wasn't sure it would work or if people would be interested. I started various posts on some Facebook groups and the feedback I got was a midlands based Bass Show would be welcomed with open arms from the bass community, and I think its safe to say it was! I email Sheldon, SBL and more asking them if they would be interested and when they said yes I passed this onto Jason and sure enough he cracked and put the show on. Yesterday as I was leaving I saw him in the hall and he told me it will 100% be on again next year, so thats great news! Personally I had a great weekend and met some awesome people! I wish I had the forum logged in on my phone so I could have updated earlier but alas I forgot. I want to say thank you to everyone who managed to stop by and say hello. The feedback on the pedals was awesome. Sold a few bits and can safely move into the next development stage. Thanks again, Matt.

I put a TurboRAT in a Warhammer Land Raider, just finished it today. Many hours of work and totally worth it!

We get kicked into that car park but its also open to general public too

Already both of those things my friend

Anyone who brings me food or beer gets extra discounts

Just been told SBL had to pull out due to family issues, but they will be there for 2026 which is going to be even bigger!

Honestly the food in the canteen was nice, but, you knew a but was coming, its expensive and last year the ques were mental and it all went fast. I'll be bringing sarnies to the stall I think haha

There is a new Bass Show happening next month in Solihull near Birmingham. If you didn't already know. Organised by Jason who also runs the Guitar Show. Its the same weekend in seperate halls in the same venue so should be great. Jasons just told me that the bass hall is completely full this year and hopes to expand it next year. I've also spoke to Danny, he was 'asked' to remove the video...
