They look great! This is a very cool project! I’ve had the same white layer alignment issue with Tayda in the past. My [super top secret] fix for it now is to apply a VERY slight negative stroke (not sure what the technical name is) to the white layer. It works a treat. Edited to clarify: The...

Wow! This is impressive in so many ways! I hope you get it all working as planned!

Is the pop better/worse in any particular position? You may have some dc leaking across the caps which could be a likely culprit.

Which Rangemaster do you have? Do you have a schematic?

Gross. If a circuit board design depends on the use of electrical tape in order to work properly, it probably shouldn't be a commercial product. I can't be the only person thinking this.

Do you have any of the other 3 working builds handy? Can you check the voltages on those with your voltmeter to see if the voltages on the non-working build are similar?

Hey there @red, I'm pretty sure you're going to hear a loud noise any time you disconnect the output cable of a pedal if that cable is connected to your amplifier and you haven't put the amplifier in standby. It looks like this one hasn't had a schematic added yet, perhaps you could try just...

Attached is how I handled it on my board:

R4 is on the source of Q1. That's the resistor you want to adjust to bias Q1's drain.

Thank you @dawson! If you get a few minutes, check out dylan159's forum post over at freestompboxes.org. He gives so much more detail on the circuit and it's really interesting how he came up with the alternative method for controlling the envelope.

I know you asked Chuck, but you could probably get away with another high-gain JFET like the J113 (these are readily available). Plan on adjusting R4 to meet the drain bias requirements of the circuit.

Someone notices the little things... 🥹 Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you, @lrgaraujo! I appreciate the kind words! This build wraps out this series of builds for me. It was very rewarding to have so many of them feature my own PCBs.

Sorry I missed your message the first time around, @MichaelW. I don't know, I hear pretty good things about that General Tso from this dude name Michael. :ROFLMAO: We miss you around here!

The design is in CMYK: Pink: C 0, M 99, Y 33, K 0 Blue: C 63, M 4, Y 0, K 0 I hope this helps!
