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...

Hello, I built this project with a musikding's kit. Never even heard of the original circuit before, i just wanted to try it, out of curiosity. It certainly has its own singular sound, but i'm not sure if my build is all right. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/Proposition-PedalPCB.pdf...

Hello, I wonder if there is some issue with my Xenotron build, because it doesn't always fit the descriptions from the original manual and from Aion's instructions. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/xenotron_documentation.pdf...

Hello, I am building a Black Eye, and unfortunately i made a mistake with the tubes pcb : I soldered the pins to mount both pcb on the main board, as described in the EZ Tube build doc (pins coming from the side with a circle). Then i soldered both tube pcbs on the main board, but with the...

Hello, My OC-7 clone worked fine since october 2022. https://www.delykpcb.com/product/up-down-daddy-pcb/?attachment_id=1089&download_file=k0sve9jvlkveb Last week it started acting up, with crackling popping noises when the Oct. up control is set somewhere CW before i switch it on. This...

I've been building these 4 circuits since the moment I opened the shipment, Tuesday or Wednesday, i can't even remember. I am so frustrated not being able to build as many circuits as i'd like, when i do make an order, i can't stop myself until everything is soldered, screwed, painted and...

Hello, I am currently building the Low Tide, from a musikding kit. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/LowTide-PedalPCB.pdf https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/LowTide-Schematic-PedalPCB.pdf First, i should mention that i have been confused with 2 unnamed smd transistors. probably the SK208 and...

Just realized they were there : 4 kits. https://www.musikding.de/index.php?k=454&lang=eng I've been waiting for this. Finally the day has come ! I see they are almost all out of stock already... argh !

An esteemed comrade forumite from diystompboxes often have some very dirty boards to troubleshoot. I just realized he was using "fluids" to help the soldering process. Once his work is done, the pcb looks covered with flux residues. Even after cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, there are still...
