Emerson EM-Drive anyone?
Anyone using one of these or a clone? Curious what you think. In the videos I've checked out it seems like it gets pretty mushy sounding with the gain past 3 o'clock or so. Is there a way to mitigate that with component values if building one?

Anyone? This seems like a pretty good candidate for a first build, which is largely why I'm curious about it.

It's not a bad choice for a first build. It's simple and easy enough to play with the values. Circuit-wise, it's like an Electra Distortion that was built wrong. The Electra is the foundation of a ton of different designs on the market–Lovepedal Champ, Woodrow, JTM, COT 50, EQD Speaker Cranker, Greer Ghetto Stomp, Green Giant–it's a great first build with a lot of different flavors and modding options.

Cool. The low parts count is definitely part of the appeal. Found this PCB, but no idea if it's decent.storyboardist wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 1:12 pmIt's not a bad choice for a first build.

Look ok to me. The EM Drive is pretty easy to throw together on vero or perf too. Here's my layouts out for it (perf/etchable PCB):

Awesome! I will probably bug my friend who's built a few projects and see if he wants to build them together.
