Added the pot connections and swapped the two rotary switch connections so the LED indicators were getting 9V.

I did a convert to pcb, but manually placed the components. I get no errors when verifying or testing against the schematic. I need to check my switch pattern though. It still seems incorrect.

Good catch. I’ll tie the wiper to pin 3 on both of those. Missed those in the schematic. I just want the LED indicator to show what set of diodes are selected. Looks like I’ve got power going to the clipping diodes from the shared RLED and not the LED indicators in the pcb layout. Also, ground...

Dammit. I have my switch wired backwards 🙄 LEDs aren’t gonna light up with no power!

I've used Diptrace for some very simple PCB's (rotary switch boards for example), but wanted to try something more ambitious. Soooooo, here we have the usual Tonebender with a rat output, but I wanted to add a rotary switch for 4 clipping diode selections. Here's what I have so far, but I'm...

Here’s my version of the Reeves Supa J. Built in a radio control box from the early 1940’s. I put the diodes on their own switch so I could engage them with either circuit. I need to figure out knobs for it (or maybe not).

Thinking ahead I should just make some switch PCB’s with phoenix connectors to mount to the protoboard for adding easy toggle switches.

I’ve been just using the breadboards for years, but the protoboards makes it a lot less messy. I wish it had spots to mount switches though. In the case of the Supa, there are three spots where I have to jumper to hear the differences. Most the time it isn’t an issue though.

Finally got my protoboard populated and thought the Reeves Supa-J would be a good first use. I like this circuit, but think I’ll put the diodes on their own switch.

So I'd like to put a envelope filter and a BMP in the same enclosure with a parallel blend between them. The envelope filter would always be on and then the fuzz could be added. I'm using Madbeans Kraken and Mudbunney boards and a JMK Paralyzer for the parallel blend. Fark me if I can't figure...

Nope, I'm using the right login. I've tried both just for completeness though. The "new" registration I used to make another account used the same credentials I had in the previous one.

Went to log in to the shop and it wouldn't recognize my login credentials. Had to make a new account and of course all my wishlist and orders have disappeared. Frustrating.

I've breadboarded up a Univox Squarewave (Pulsewave) to see if I liked it before getting the PCB. I've built it stock using a BC550 and J201 with bias trimmers on each. What I did notice is that the "Distortion" control, which is just a bass cut really, has a huge volume drop from one end of...

I use those all the time. Makes assembly and disassembly much easier.

Anyone ever used dry rub lettering with a clear coat to label knobs? I’ve got an amp project that I really don’t want to spend the $$ to get custom faceplates made or try to make inkjet labels for. FWIW they will be cream colored chicken head knobs.
