  1. Cool wires! How do you like the sound? I'm debating over building a Suhr Riot or this "Andy Timmons" pedal. I read that this layout isn't an exact clone of the AT, rather a best guess by madbean. Anyway, haven't found any sound demos of this build online, so that would be rad! Great builds, man! Keep them coming!

    1. Hey! Funny that you ask! I actually was debating as in whether to build this as a good overdrive/distortion pedal or recommend the Suhr Riot haha!! I honestly recommend this one! Really nice and tweakable, with loads of gain for everything, it sounds more amp like, the Suhr Riot is more ...boxed is somehow. I will make some samples today with it! Will post them here with a yellow bold hyperlink ;)

    2. I can't even get all the tones in one short sample, from gritty high gain, to tight high gain, to 80s stuff, to full blown driven stack sound, a really nice pallette of tone from this one

  2. Hi,
    I am planning to build this pedal. I am new into pedal build, and this would be my first DIY pedal. Do you think I can use film caps instead of the 2 ceramic 100pf caps? Thanks.

  3. Absolutely no problem, in fact, the film caps would even be less prone to noise, and even sound better in some instances! Go for it :)

    1. C is reverse log. A specific pot taper, but I think I used something else (don't recall ever owning C type pots, at least not 10K ones)
