Dressed. Turned out nice

I did hit it with a clear that sort of ruined the contrast, but black on black is definitely a winner

Not perfect, but for the first time messing with a Cricut it turned out pretty well!

If anybody finds this down the track I got it sorted - dropping R15 to 100k increases the bass rolloff at max treble by about 3dB, making the tone control much more emphasized. C22 also needs to be increased to about 100pf to get rid of some of the additional noise. All in all, actually a...

This was....a build. JFET switching didn't work (PCB/schematic error), got sent the wrong impedance tanks, couple of footprints weren't ideal, LED is annoyingly offset by about 2.5mm, but I've almost got the issues fixed and functioning. The tone control doesn't really do....much? I probably...

Pretty straightforward build - very happy I picked up I needed 1/8w resistors before I purchased. Very annoying the SOT-23 adapter boards weren't also black, but you win some and lose some. Built as a gift for a friend who gives up dozens of hours every year to help us running special needs events.

Just finished. Honestly...not really my thing. Doesn't really give you anything that a million other fuzzes don't already do, and probably better (such as gain control). Not a particularly quiet pedal either. Tried a stack of different diodes, and 1N4007s sounded the best to me, although not...

Howdy, I've seen people post about this on FB/Reddit, so figure of all places here it will probably be useful too. While the build docs are pretty good, it is a bit frustrating not having values/quantities immediately available. I figured out an easy workflow to get them. Download the build...

I can only imagine the poor environmentally conscious grandma that was looking forward to.cleaning her teeth, and instead got a large PCB

(Yes I'm aware it's just a shipping error, but it is by far the weirdest shipping error I've been a recipient of)

Check you don't have a little whisker of solder between the switch lugs - I had HOURS troubleshooting a board that would bypass without power, but would only work when it wasn't bypassed with power. I had a whisker of solder between the unused LED leg and output leg. No power, board worked...

Usually the only thing I change is the solder mask colour - defaults work pretty well. Also check your quantities - it's usually the same price to get 10-15 of a single board than it is to get 5.

The thought came up (before the edit), but I have tried a blocking cap and no difference. I built the PCB anyway, so I guess we'll see what it sounds like haha

With a single diode, I see half the waveform squished by the forward voltage of the diode (using Schottkys), but it conducts in both directions
