Perfect - thanks for the quick reply!

Hi - Just ordered the Trojan Horse PCB. Wanted to start working on a waterslide decal for it while I'm waiting for the PCB to come in. It looks like this toggle switch goes Up/Middle/Down compared to the VFE Dark Horse that goes Left/Middle/Right. Can someone clarify what each position is...

I wanted to be able to change the channels/voicing on my Blackstar HT Club 50 amp via MIDI. I know there are probably some "pre-built" solutions out there, but figured I would try to roll my own. The amp has two channels (Clean and OD), and each channel has 2 separate voicings. In examining...

Yea I basically set them all to "0" when I installed and then adjusted them once I hooked it up to my amp and made sure it worked.

Just finished up my Black Hole build from Coda Effects. Man, this thing is a MONSTER! It can certainly do the crunchy lower gain OD, but this thing just wants to have the knobs cranked on a loud amp. Really happy with it! Also thanks to @phi1 for helping me with a few questions along the way!

Thanks @phi1! Drilling my enclosure tomorrow and putting it all together then - pretty excited based on the few demos I've seen of the pedal in action!

Working on the Coda Effects black hole. I have to wire a DPDT switch up to it. On the front of the circuit board, the top left hole is a square pad. On the back, you can see a (+) between the two middle pads. The build docs...

Just finished up my Chop Shop build. This was my second build but not without it's problems! I only could find SMD JFET's so I had to solder those to some breakout boards - first time doing anything with SMD. It was pretty challenging but with a tweezers and a very fine soldering tip I was...

Thanks!

I ordered some SMD J201's for use in the Chop Shop project. In order to make it work on the PCB I got some SMD adapter boards...never soldered SMD but I'm sure it'll be a fun one :LOL: The question I had was on the layout - the breakout board has pins labeled D, S, and G (Drain, Source, Gate)...

With some help from the forums, I was able to successfully complete my first DIY pedal! I did the "Cross Contaminator" PCB, which is based off of the Earthquaker Devices Dirt Transmitter. I actually made two, one for my dad and one for me. I can probably clean up my wiring a little better in...

Awesome, thanks a bunch! The "On-On" ones are definitely much easier to find. Really appreciate the quick reply!

Hi all - I'm ordering parts for my next build - the Coda Effects Black Hole. I'm having a hard time finding a particular part. This build calls for a "DPDT Switch On-off", PCB mounted. I tried all the big ones (Digikey, Tayda, Mouser, etc.) and the only "on-off" one I could find was on...

Ok cool! I'll just put the resistor in between the 9V rail on the board and the SW input on the breakout board. Really appreciate all your help here!

Thanks for the reply! Besides the SW item, did the rest of my wiring notes look correct to you? This was all I saw in the "Additional Information" for the illuminated 3PDT breakout...but if it's just 9V going to the SW input I think that answers my question there anyway.
