Hey all, I threw a few coats of Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel over a pedal enclosure I had painted up, and came back to find that it was covered in little white streaks/cracks: I've never had any problems with clear coating before, so this is new to me. Anybody else ever encounter anything...

Thanks for the tips all, it seems as though I've got the right orientation, so I'll have to keep troubleshooting. Gonna order a new LM358 just in case I messed up the surface mount soldering, and at some point get around to poking at it with an audio probe.

It wasn't clear on the packaging and I couldn't find anything on the datasheet, so I made a (completely arbitrary) judgement call and put it in so that the label faced the same direction as everything else. My impatient self decided that a 50/50 shot was better than waiting another 2 weeks to...

Whats up all, Just built the CDXL Reissue envelope filter, but when it's all together I'm getting almost no signal at all (without any effects either.) LED and true bypass are working as intended. Could this potentially be an issue with the LM358? I messed up the tayda order and got the SO-8...

Hi all, I've been looking in to sidechain/ducking compressors, and although I've found some cool boutique options, I'd much rather see if I can make it for myself. I've had thoughts about modifying one of the PedalPCB compressors with a switched jack but I'm still a little too rookie so I...

Replaced it with a properly insulated jack and now it looks, sounds, acts perfectly. Thanks for your help my man!

I just test I think this might be the problem, I just unboxed it and everything works just fine. I think I might be able to dig out an insulated jack from somewhere, I’ll throw it on and give it a go!

Just switched em and tested it, now the box doesn’t turn on at all... could there be another problem? Also, the heat shrink was out of hope that it would keep the wires from breaking, which I’ve had problems with in the past. This is the first time I’ve used it so I might have gotten a little...

Hi all, building the cataclysm jr. delay pedal and I’ve encountered a problem. Everything’s all boxed up but I’m just getting a loud hum when I engage the stomp with no signal coming through. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? The bypass is clean and the led turns on correctly. Gut shot...

Did all this and it worked like a charm. Thanks Chuck!!! Makes me wish I hadn't bought so many extra insulated jacks haha

Hi all, Just finished up the Green Russian Muffin Fuzz, pretty straightforward build, gut shot below: When I plug it in and play, the bypass is pretty clean and the fuzz works, but I'm getting a pretty loud humming when the pedal's on, even with the power unplugged. What do you guys...
