Anyone else ever put this together besides @MichaelW and I? Both of us came out with a working effect with no issues. I am curious to see what experiences others had with it. If it works we should let Kevin know so he can add it to his offerings.

Here you go. Measured off the template. So you might want to do a quick measure on your board just to make sure. 28mm between the pots on each line then 26mm below the top line. ( hope that makes sense) The power jack is the lumberg style and leds are 3mm no lens...

Give it a few more days. If someone doesn't have it i will get one up.

Got a birdbuddy for Christmas

I am going to bookmark that course and come back to it. I am happy to know a good one exists. It’s kinda tough to learn KiCad on your own. It can be done as we are examples but I just feel like it some things should and could be easier to do. That’s what I was looking for in a course. Not so...

Got a pic of the underside of the board? Could be a missed joint somewhere. I have missed a pad on an ic more than once, lol.

I would expect it to pull 400-450ma. I haven’t built that particular project but the other c2c single tube pedals I have are in that range give or take. The power supply is usually the culprit when it comes to the tube pedals. The bassman pulls probably 600ish so you should be well within range...

You can. It will import the libraries for that particular project. You select import from non Kicad in the drop down menu and find your eagle files. It’s pretty easy to do.

So at best I would say this is an extremely basic overview, and even at that it’s missing stuff. It needs some work. I just sent a polite email about requesting a refund and they did it within a few days. If possible leave feedback so they can work to make it better.

I still have 7.7 as a backup but made the switch to KiCad. Its different at first but I love it now and find myself trying to use KiCad shortcuts in Eagle, lol. Do yourself a favor and get the sheepylove KiCad library as well. If you learned how to use Eagle well learning KiCad wont be that...

Good to know on the libraries. I made it 54% through the course so I never made it there. It seems like they should be towards the beginning since you are using them right away. Once again with some editing and improvements maybe they can move stuff around to improve the overall course. It’s...

So I will say I requested a refund on Saturday. I got an email from Brian this morning and it’s already refunded with no issues. He appreciated the feedback I gave. I gave lots of details and where I thought it could use improvement. I will try other courses simply because of this. As I have...

So I wanted to share my thoughts on the Wampler KiCad course. It is awful!! It is such a hot mess I stopped halfway through and requested a refund. That is not something I have ever done. I know how to use KiCad pretty well but like most if not all of us I am self taught. I was hoping to find...

Sometimes your bench is full and you have to use the kitchen table, lol.

Prickly makes a good point on a warranty situation. It makes them feel better knowing you’re not selling junk and gives you a selling point. That being said normal wear and tear and plugging in incorrect power supplies etc… may be a slippery slope and it shouldn’t last for an unreasonable...
