Rockett 10 Ton Hammer Build Mod

[music6000]

Hi
   Like others that have built this, I was disappointed with the lack of Volume (Headroom) so I decided to meet it halfway.
I just built this so it was with the B100k updated Volume Pot
I also tuned the Trimmer by Ear for Max Clarity. Measured 18.6 k, not sure what the voltage was.
I removed 1 of the 1N4001 clipping diodes & replaced it with a 5mm Red Diffused LED.
So 1N4001 coupled with 5mm Red Diffused LED!  Holy Smokes
Now I have way More Volume & Gain cleans up better at lower settings.
Before it was a One Trick Pony, Now it has a little bit more versatility.

My 2 cents
Hope this Helps

Thanks for the Layout's Guys

Well, I built it as per the last layout version, it's sounds great with a ton of gain and output

Hi
   I have built the Rockett Blue Note & Animal pedals prior to this and they are Awesome pedals & both have plenty of Volume (Headroom) versus Gain.
The Rockett 10 Ton Hammer is suppose to be a take no prisoners Balls to the Wall type pedal and Yes it has a lot of Gain but it definitely lacks in the Volume (Headroom) versus amount of Gain area in comparison to those pedals.
Maybe why it is no longer in production anymore.
I only posted this for those that want to try for something different.
 
If you are happy with your pedal then that's what really matters.
Enjoy!

It's just that for me the output is comparable to a majority of pedals, including the Animal which I also built a few times
