I'm realizing that I have overbaked mine. I did more enclosures today and the clear film basically just melted onto the enclosure. I followed the instructions in the paper which is too hot for too long apparently. I just noted your rec for 10minutes at the lowest setting, so that's what I'll try...

Thanks for this tutorial!! I used it today for the first time and it worked out really well! I am still working out dimensions/templates for things and how to bring the drill templates from PedalPCB into Affinity for editing/printing. I wasn’t prepared for how much of a PITA removing the backing...

solved!! had wired dc jack in reverse. i overthought it. wired the negative to the positive terminal and the +9v to ground lug. then when i plugged in the reverse polarity cable, i guess it was reversing my reversal. stupid mistake, but a learning moment.

So I have wired up my PNP FF on tagboard but have no sound when I plug in the guitar. I have gotten the audio probe out and it seems to be fine all the way through and back to the input jack. Uncertain about what’s going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s not the cleanest wiring as...

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but wanted to just clarify the wiring for a PNP Fuzz Face: As I understand it, I should wire the DC jack as I would for an NPN pedal and connect that to the +/- on the top left, omit D200/201 and C200/201 as well as the voltage toggle switch. Connect the -9v...

just finished my low tide modulator after staring at it for months now. i finally got all of the components acquired and sat down over the past couple of days to put it together. what a challenge. i am enjoying the pedal but man that was a lot of work. a couple of notes: 1. this post from...

Wanted to give a Tchula a try after watching Josh Scott’s Short Circuit series. Had in mind that I wanted to keep its appearance the same as the original for no real reason. In hindsight this made it so much more difficult than it needed to be because the PedalPCB switches are reversed from the...

i have been watching a ton of breadboarding videos lately (and spending a LOT of time with JHS' Short Circuit series) and joined the Coppersound Mod Club as well which is basically a breadboarding monthly subscription with walkthrough videos and stuff. It should start March I think. i've been...

Feels very much like one of those, “keep plugging away at it and there are lots of lessons to take away” kind of situations.

Yeah. I have fiddled around again and got it going. But the fuzz pot either grounds out the signal or when moving wires around, doesn’t seem to do anything. Trying to figure that out right now…

I’ve been breadboarding but am having issues with sputtering/gating despite biasing to 4.5v. Not sure what the issue is.

Hi all! I just saw a photo of the Jam Fuzz Phrase LTD on turrets and wondered if someone would be willing to "check my work" on it before I get to plugging away. For some reason, the FF circuit gives me more trouble than anything else, but I can't seem to stop trying... I have screengrabbed a...

@PedalBuilder was generous enough to offer me a PCB he had made for can LM308s and I got it wired up today. I replaced the clipping diodes with 1n34 germaniums just to see how those did, but I socketed them to be able to try some different things out. I spent HOURS trying to get it working...

Got my Rat turret build done finally. Phew!!! This one was a challenge. Glad that it works. And now it gets hidden in an enclosure. Always loved the look of the Jam Rattler LTD but can’t wrap my head around a $500 Rat so this will scratch an itch for me. I’m itching for a point to point build...

Awesome!! You still around or have you moved on?
