Hello, Something heavy fell on my bass, and the top of the Bright/Volume dual potentiometer is broken. The top is controling the volume. I'm trying to fix it, but it's soldered on a small pcb and it looks like im not going to be able to desolder and replace it. Im thinking about leaving it...

Hello, I recently build an analog delay and noticed some issue in a long signal chain with 10 or 15 various effects, including buffered bypass circuits from Boss or MXR. Some circuits are decreasing the delay's repeats and response, even in bypass, depending on where the delay is connected in...

I noticed that my Star Chamber build has a weaker delay with less amplitude and repeats when i engage some circuits before it. For example a looper/mixer/blender circuit (Pro-cessor from TH Custom Effects), or even a Boss GE-7. I also have this drop with the delay response after a little EQ...

I thought i had already too much circuits, i thought i decided that i wouldn't build more anytime soon. ...Then i saw that musikding had recently started selling Byzantium kits. I always wanted to build this one. I also realized that there is a few new delays available, i hesitated between...

Hello, I am calibrating the byzantium and i m not sure how to set the Clock. The other 2 trimmers are easy to figure out, but Clock calibration is a bit more tricky for me. Madbean has a similar project, so i checked the instructions to calibrate my build...

Hello, My last build is an Hoof Reaper clone made with a musikding kit. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/WarScythe.pdf Everything sounds fine as far as i can tell, all controls are working. I only noticed one obvious issue : If i just use the Tonebender and if i activate the octave, there...

Hello ! My last build is PPCB War Scythe. It sounds promising but i'm not sure i understand what is happening in there. There are 3 circuits: Ungula, Squidward and Scythe. I know nothing about the original circuits, except they're from EQD, there's a muff variant (hybrid ?) a tonebender...

Hello, I just built the War Scythe kit from musikding. Everything works fine, as far as i can tell. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/WarScythe.pdf There are two MPSA13 transistors in the kit, and i m not sure why. I guess it's supposed to be used as an alternative for some other transistors...

Hello, I need a new spare set of tubes for my Blues Junior 3 : 3x ECC82 and 2x EL84 The original tubes are getting fried one by one after 9 or 10 years of service. EL84 were GT Groove Tubes, the ECC82 are still fine so far, but i guess after 10 years they will also fry sometime soon. Looking...

Here are a few interesting builds. Nothing went wrong for once, they aren't the easiest builds but with good instructions and a little experience, everything went smoothly. Let's start with the Omnilooper from Schalltechnik_04 : https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/omnilooper Best...

Hello, The XT Solo Loop Station power supply just died. it was old, i might as well buy a new one. The problem is that the DC power input jack on the JamMan is slightly smaller than the usual ones. I can't use my other power supplies, their connectors are slightly too big and won't fit. This...

Hello, I am building DeadAstronaut's F-24 Multi-fx project. It's almost done, and i suspect the two EEPROM sent with the kit are empty. But the project includes a 6 pin header to access the EEPROMs...

Hello, this is my second troubleshooting post on this circuit : i thought it was ok, but it's not compared to other builds. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/xenotron_documentation.pdf The obvious issue is that on my build it is much harder to dial some good modulation settings, compared to...

Hello, I've been using some residue cleaner recently, and i notice that pads are much harder to reflow after cleaning the pcb. When applying heat to reflow and improve some soldering joint, i can see bubbles and strange things going on on the pad, it feels like i should remove the cleaned...

I built a few phasers, the Phase II is probably my favorite, i really like how the sweep sounds. However, i built an other one sometimes ago, a Small Stone clone with all the popular mods, called the Redshift from Aion. The mods are allowing some interesting sounds, and i often regret that...

I built these effects sometime ago, in 2021. Hopefully, they could be some interesting examples about what is possible to do when a pedal builder has "no artwork skills". The idea for the "art design" came to me while i was shopping at the local grocery store. I saw two big packs of rice, one...

I built the SDT-2 because i like some SDT-1 variant very much, so i wanted to try it. It's a great distortion able to get heavy on the low frequencies, just as i like them. It's quite different from the GCI Bass Brutalist which is based on the SDT-1. The gain texture feels a bit more precise...

I decided to build the Black Eye upon recommandation from @jhaneyzz. All my thanks for this kind suggestion ! The fact that some Sushi Box effects are available at musikding, allowed me to build this project. This circuit sounds amazing, it's impressive and very inspiring, it will be put to...

After a few years building stompboxes, i felt confident about these big builds, and i was very curious about these Lovetone circuits. I built the Spectron before (Meatball) and it is such a great circuit that i thought that everything coming from Lovetone must be amazing. I have to admit that...

Hello, I built the Neurotron recently, from a musikding's kit. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/neurotron_documentation.pdf Based on what i could listen in the utube demos, it sounds like everything is working on my build (VCO, LFO, etc) except the sawtooth waveshape. According to...
