I used that BLUE-TACK stuff to hold the headers in place. Worked a treat, and the boards sandwiched together just fine! I found those exact same headers on Tayda but thanks for the link to Amazon. I always like to have more than one parts source in case I don't have enough of an order to justify...

Thanks for the encouragement - I need all I can get! Also, great tip about the smd electrolytics. I have a bunch lying around that I will never likely use due to a design change so I will experiment with your idea on that. Thanks again - Bud

Thank you very very much. Up until reading your post I had absolutely NO idea how to solder the headers. Your idea is great, and that's my goal for today. Visualizing how things go together has always been a major weakness, so thanks again for clarifying this. Before finding your answer, I was...

Absolutely no hurry since I had to re-order pots with the correct format from Tayda which will probably take most of the next week to arrive. But as far as letting me know your PP address and physical address (if you want a bunch of my spare components), you can do that at any time. - Bud

I meant that I usually order 6mm, not 6.35mm shafts. Sorry for the confusion.

As an alternative to any sort of payment, to which you seem to be reluctant to accept, I have another proposition. About a year or so ago, I was on Reddit and found a guy who was giving up pedal building and had a LOT of inventory he wanted to dispose of. We reached an agreement, and I received...

I just looked up the knobs to find they were 6.35mm or 1/4", so I am now re-ordering all four pots to be Alpha (different mounting placement than the Tayda ones I usually order) PC mount types with 6.35mm shafts.

The function/placement of the controls are correct. Design looks fantastic!!!! For pots, I use 7mm or 9/32 drill - 5/16 probably close enough Jacks are 10mm or using a step-bit drill 25/64 - 3/8 probably close enough 3PDT Stomp switch 12mm, or using a step-bit drill 15/32 - 1/2" probably close...

Those look great too, plus not overdoing the colors allows for readable control labels. Nice!

What a great design! Can't thank you enough. What's the going cost of a pint these days? Do you have a PayPal address? I would be more than happy to buy you a couple of beers in fact.

Absolutely no hurry! Spencer is great to work with, and I think, although I easily could be mistaken, what works for Tayda should work for him.

That would be WONDERFUL! I would be eternally grateful to you if you could modify it to just say Flanger (instead of Phaser). The model number can be left off entirely, and the lettering on the black changed to BQFS. I hope that's not too much trouble, and I would absolutely offer to pay you for...

Money isn't tight, per se. I just can't justify buying more than two more colors. I already have black, brown, and purple. My pre-done powder coated enclosures are all purple sparkle ones. Can you suggest two more colors to go with what I already have? Should I not use any of the colors I...

When you stated "various colors" I was wondering how many different colors you used for the one pictured. Unless I was going to do this for a lot more than just two enclosures, it still comes out pretty expensive. If I only used, say 6 colors, that's still at least $7 per color so $42 or $21 per...

I talked to my friend who is going to be the recipient of the second build (I'm keeping the first). He is okay with no labels, so long as I put a sticker or something on the bottom of the pedal indicating which control does what.
