shouldn't really make much difference as Q3 is mostly an output buffer the trimpot settings and JFET selection would have a greater impact IMO

hell yes.

no worries 🤙 if you want to try some different clipping diodes, you could pull the x2 mosfets and drop in a clipping switch here: (sw1 & sw2 to the points circled in red, can just use a regular on/on DPDT)

yeah that would be rad!

that's unfortunate. box looks great though! maybe could save it for something else. (would probably fit an UberDrive quite nicely) when this one first showed up in 'upcoming releases' i was pretty excited to see it and possibly breadboard the circuit. but, sadly, its just an 808 with a poor...

+1 im not understanding the problem requiring CMOS, that 555 relay circuits haven't been able to solve. IME they've demonstrated to work just fine with a 9V (& 12V) supply. i feel like i'm missing something here - it would appear that going for a more complicated circuit with a large 14pin IC...

the LED resistor is marked here as CLR (= current limiting resistor) also, you don't have to use 4K7. it depends on the type of LED and how bright you like it. IMO, 4K7 is too large (too dull) for diffused LEDs, for waterclear/superbright LEDs, i find around 22K works well.

chop all of the legs, as @Aentons has suggested. then try and remove each of them one by one.

+1 pretty much agree with everything @z2amiller mentioned. diminishing returns etc. on the watt rating for resistors. you’re not running high currents in a pedal circuit to warrant anything higher than 1/2W or even 1/4W. i’m not qualified to comment if it’s worth it, but i guess you could get...

it's indicative of a connection/junction point - i'm pretty sure this is where one of the header pins would go, i.e. a point where one board meets the other

DIY tuner that costs about x2 TU-2s to land

FMD i need this for all the socket threads

gosh these are cool. way nicer than standard box caps. where from?

no schematic?! denied!
