You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir! Many thanks! It actually wound up being an incorrect value used for C7. I wish I could say that I used 47nF instead of 47pF, but let's just say the value of the one I used was "Samsonite". Would you mind shedding a little light as to what led you to...

Hey everyone, I just finished putting together a build of the Covert but I've run into a problem. The Pre-Amp/Gain control doesn't seem to do anything at all. I can run the pot through a full sweep while playing and here no affect on the sound whatsoever. I've already taken the build apart...

Update: Took a few days to get things rolling but the people I talked to there were very apologetic and took good measures to fix the situation. I had to be pretty persistent to get a hold of someone, but once I did things went well. I think they are probably good people with good intentions...

Datasheet for the KE-10720 called out in the build doc indicates 10k-20k light resistance and 0.5M dark resistance. None of the LDRs offered on the website match that exactly, but I don't know if any of them can be used as a sub. There is one that's 10k-20k light resistance and 1M dark...

I ran into a similar problem. I didn't have to shim any pots though, I just removed one of the nuts and washers from the 4PDT switch. I'm wondering if these pots might be better to use for this

Just to make sure I understand: for polarized caps the square pad indicates the anode and the circular pad indicates the cathode, but for LEDs it's the opposite?

Trying to piece together what I want to do with the enclosure before I install the build. Which toggle position is Super Lead and which is Super Bass? Thanks in advance!

The Valhalla might be something to look at. And it has two outputs, one of which I think is intended for preamp usage.

Just got my first order from Mammoth today. I had erroneously ordered a bunch of mini- bulbs thinking they were LEDs that got left out of my order. The website clearly states they aren't LEDs, but they are listed on the website under 3mm LEDs. I take full responsibility for ordering them, but...

All your boards are two layer then, with one being a ground plane?

Any particular reason for that, or just what works for you?

What gauge wire is everyone using for these builds? I had some stranded 22 AWG laying around and was having a heck of a time trying to wire one of the 3PDT boards. Any tips? Would I be better off using 24 AWG, or maybe solid copper wiring?

Which package have you found to be adequate for pedal design? (Starter, Lite, Standard, etc.)

Would these work when MLCC isn't specified? https://www.mammothelectronics.com/products/100v-polyester-film-capacitor

This is definitely a beginner question but I'd rather ask a stupid question first, instead of doing something stupid and having to fix. My question is about the proper implementation of the utility boards, specifically the SMD to through hole adapter and the dual to quad amp adapter as they...
