All good stuff. Another thing to consider while sourcing- the photo may not depict the exact component. Check things like voltage for capacitors, and lead spacing so you don’t accidentally get some huge component that doesn’t fit on the pcb. There are a number of times I didn’t look carefully...

Welcome! Sourcing parts can be a chore. But after a few times, you can get a lot faster at navigating the site, and you’ll have more parts on hand, reducing what you need to order to finish a build. I’d recommend getting a feel for doing it manually before adding automation. If the automation...

Another bandwagon build. I wanted to try this thing out for myself. It’s kinda fun, and I can think of scenarios where I would use it, but it’s not really my style. Another one for the tone library. Acquiring the parts was a quest. It didn’t bother me as I was in no rush. I think my favorite...

I’ll start with shoutouts- thanks @HamishR for bringing up the circuit in my Arche Boost build report. Thanks @szukalski for the great layout. It’s resdef on one side and value on the other- best of both worlds. And finally thanks @MichaelW for hooking me up with a PCB. From what I understand...

Gut shot or it’s YATS

No bad, I appreciate you pointing that out. Clear misinterpretation on my part.

Thank you @RobotZombie23 - that gives me something to try out

Thanks for responding. I do want to use one TRS jack to control two relays. I think the relay modules I’m using are not the right solution. I need the remote switches to “own” the state. The switches are MIDI-controlled, so I don’t want to create a mismatch where the controller shows it’s ON...

I think my build is working the way it is supposed to, so I didn't post in troubleshooting. I'm building a 2-channel loop switcher that is intended to be controlled by 2 switches connected via a TRS cable. I think I made several assumptions that were incorrect. My real question is: What would...

The Volume and Intensity are kept in there original positions, and then I mounted the Speed pot in-between them and ran wire.

Thank you! Yeah, it seems like it gets dark fully CCW, and anything CW from that is full range.

Hey, that looks like a pedal a grown up would use! But really, still super fresh without the UV.

I love that artwork.

This one was mostly finished for a while. All the recent Phase 90/45 build reports inspired me to wrap this one up. I’m not normally a black & gold person, but every once in a while it just feels right for a build. I picked up a matched set of transistors from AionFX long before I had a board...

If you have a bad build that you’re sick of looking at or working on, just toss it in a box. There will come a day you where identifying and plucking parts off will seem trivial. Like your own salvage yard.
