Been a bit since I have posted life has been busy and I haven’t done much building. Not so much of a build but a repair and rescue. I have owned this wah since I was a teenager and at some point I poorly converted it to true bypass but it never really worked right. I don’t normally play...

Post some pictures of the board front and back. Include the wiring and connections.

lol I it’s not really valentines themed but it did feel motivated to finish it and post it today.

Here is the Whole Hearted V2. It is a dual LM386 based distortion pedal. The artwork is based on drawings my daughter used to do when she was little. The first version of this pedal was my first attempt at modding/designing a circuit. This is updated now that I know a bit more about pedals...

D310, I bought them with the board.

The LED https://www.taydaelectronics.com/leds/round-leds/10mm-leds/blue.html The holder https://www.taydaelectronics.com/10mm-led-bezel-holder-plastic.html I wasn’t sure the holder would work but it’s just low enough to fit under the board. It would be easy to trim if you had to.

Here is my build of the @PedalBuilder Harmonic Percolator. They helped me with the germaniums for this project as well as my Muffin Factory. The enclosure was designed by @steviejr92. It’s super sturdy and well made. It looks really nice. This pedal sounds great I have only played it into a...

I haven’t used an expression pedal with this nor am I that knowledge about what’s out there. These are the sections of the circuit where the expression pedals jump in. One is a C1M wired as a variable resistor and the other a B100K as a potentiometer. My guess is you would want something that...

Here is the new boards build up. I feel happy with the layout of these. I’m experimenting with the next version which might have some additional filtering and possibly an added trim/boost stage. I have a few projects I want to work through first. My plan is to build these out and give them...

I want to start by thanking @tcpoint for this board and a bunch of the harder to source parts to go with it. I think this pedal came out really well. It looks a lot different than my other build and had a lot of first in it for me. First SMD IC, VFE, soft touch relay switching, Skinny Wima...

I have been working on something somewhat similar to this as well. I would consider an 8 way rotary for the clipping and set it up with something like no clip, led-led,led-4148,led-bat41,4148-4148,4148-bat41,bat41-bat41, and maybe just lock out the last position with the washer. The build I am...

If you keep this up I might end up with a JLC order of just your boards. Awesome job again!

Either put flux on them or sand/file until you expose some copper. Make sure your iron tip is clean and has a bit of solder on it. Heat both the wire and jack. If you have an adjustable soldering iron bump up the temp some.

That’s a cool layout on that. It’s one of my favorite lead tones also.

Well you got my mind going on this circuit. I think the gain 1 and 2 might not work correctly as the diodes aren't modeled but it should give a good idea of part changes and how the effect the EQ curve...
