It will "work" in the sense that it will be a functional pedal/circuit. A comparison would be the difference between 4148's and LEDs for the clippers. They will both "work" but will sound different. You could always socket the components and switch em out when you're ready down the road.

This is going to turn into 2 blendable Muffin Factory circuits with a series/parallel switch.... Just saying.... https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/muffin-factory/

Thanks. With my DMM it’s a C1M with an odd taper

No not yet. I've only had 10 min go go through everything on my kitchen table. When I have a moment I'll put it through the DMM

SBP sent me a goody bag and am finally going through it. Can anyone tell me what kind of pot this is? It's a 16mm pot, but just odd labelling...

Good news is you can breadboard something using a simple inverting opamp configuration. I will refer you to the first half of the Mini Muffin schematic plus the power supply section. The pinout for the opamp below is for a dual, not a single such as the TL071. Replace R4 with a output coupling...

the "best" answer is to breadboard it. 2 LEDs can share a single current limiting resistor. In terms of the resistance amount that depends if you've got the superbrights or not. Start with 1k and work your way up from there. Don't be surprised if using superbrights that the resistance goes up to...

Not sure if really an "issue" since it's meant just to kill the "hiss" from other circuits. I've got this pedal and it does a decent enough job, but not enough to say "this is the only noise gate I'll ever use". I do want to try out a Muzzle and compare, but THAT chip is holding me back.

I think the "crackle" just means the gate is too clamped and cutting out wanted signal. Are you running a high gain setup?

CCW makes it clamp down harder. It’s a little counterintuitive like the filter control on a rat. Do you still have noise regardless of the knob setting?

Looking at the datasheets for a 1590A and specs at the shop for the PCB, you'll have a really tight fit if you were to lay it flat inside. Considering there are no pots you should be able to squeeze it in there just fine, albeit slightly crooked. With a lid on you won't know the difference.

I think it's due to the versatility of a SPDT versus the one dimensional SPST. The SPDT can be used as a on/off for a component, but also as a component substitution. You get more value out of a similar sized footprint. Nice build btw. My wife and I love watching our birdfeeders. Cheaper than...

You're friend's an ass. You're alright, though.

If the schematic makes perfect sense to you, by all means go for it. Some people need to write down the recipe before cooking. Others keep the recipe in their head. We all work differently. If you're the only one who will be using the test box and you know exactly what you will be plugging into...

First off, this is a pretty straightforward project and also serves as a lesson in offboard wiring. I used the tagboard test box project as a guide when I did mine, but it was not a 1:1 clone. The purpose of the test box is to eliminate as may off-circuit items from potential troubleshooting...
