I got those ICs for the Noctis Fuzz. It sounds like I could have used a 4559, but I would have had to source those too.

Rose gold enclosure, mocha aluminum knobs. Stomp Box Parts had W20K potentiometers with a center detent, so I utilized them for the EQ. I had two MC33178s pre-soldered to DIP8 breakout boards, purchased from the shop here. For the third one I ordered a stash of MC33178s and soldered it to a...

I got those thumb screws from McMaster. 99607A120 Stainless Steel Flared-Collar Knurled-Head Thumb Screw, 6-32 Thread Size, 1/2" Long

Welcome! That’s a nice looking first build.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell you. That’s a detail I didn’t pay attention to at the time, which was about 20 years ago.

We had a 40 channel Mozart at the studio I used to work at. I never used the automation, nor did I see anyone else use it. It was probably the last thing on our tech’s list. I did see people use the automation on the SSL J series. The manual was kind of funny, they accuse you of being stupid if...

I’m excited because Robert is tuning up his new 8 string guitar.

I’m just wishing for a day it’s under 100%

Machine If it’s a circuit with one or two op-amp ICs, and I know I’m not going to experiment, I solder them directly. A lot of times I use sockets so I can use the IC for something else if I need to. I have one pedal that’s on the road with a major touring artist, and its ICs are socketed. It...

Welcome to the troubleshooting forum. Step 1 will be to get some clear photos so we can take a look.

I remember it being more like trying to find other musicians to jam with on craigslist.

Oh, I see now. My mistake, I did write A or B. Here’s the way you want it. Basically, a toggle for the champ. That SW is for the Bypass LED.

Basically, you want the toggle in-between the bypass switch and the two circuits. I drew this with a 2nd footswitch in mind. For your use case, you could use a DPDT for the toggle and skip the LED. Edit: meant to write pole, not throw.
