Brighter colors always look better and offer better contrast with knobs.. going to go with Lilac

When I paint I use a water based polyurethane clear coat, which is rough enough that the paint pen has something to sink into, but it's not nearly as absorbent as writing on paper. I never even thought that the surface of the powdercoat could have oil contamination. I'm hesitant to sand the...

Your enclosures are the best, in terms of quality, price, and lead time. I try to use the bare PRO series for all my pedals. Can you go into detail on the cleaning process of the enclosures during the prep process? It's something I'd like to refine with my workflow. Also, I've purchased some...

The second set of LEDs is for the LFO? You should make the indicator light dual function as both

It doesn't matter whether it's clear when the LED is off, but when its on the diffused versions of LEDs have a lower forward voltage and are the "default" version when compared to the waterclear superbright version. I would presume that the circuit is designed with the Vf of the diffused...

I'm currently trying to sort my garage. I've learned that I need more shelf space than I really need, because if I need to put something away and its spot isn't right in front of me, it's going to become a mess I'll have to deal with later. That and reaching over something so I can put something...

I've had shipments get weird in the past. It happens. I would just place a second order for some different boards, and then whenever your first one shows up treat it like a surprise. If you've called the USPS with your tracking number and spoken with someone on the matter, then you've already...

It's easy, just tin your wire and tin the metal tabs that are left. Apply some paste flux to the wire, press the wire onto the tab and apply heat

I've purchased a couple from Stomp Box Parts and like the quality of their Pro series.

The problem with using that video as an example is they are using single sided circuit boards, whereas our boards are 2 sided and each hole not only has pads on each side, but there is plating inside the hole that connects both pads. The solder makes contact with the pads on both the top and the...

I do my solder joints like that and don't have a problem, though I do drag the tip of my iron up the component legs (it's very sensual) to draw excess solder away from the joint first. If you think about it there is more cross sectional area to provide support for the component inside the...

For the iPhone pics, try zooming in just a bit and your close ups will be much more in focus. Are there other fonts available for the letter transfer system you use? Like a cursivey one?

I tried out a couple new primers, in addition to changing my work flow so that I scrub my enclosures with iso moments before painting them. This one worked pretty well. Two mist coats followed by two heavier coats. This was a customer request, and he wanted a metallic blue finish. One of the...

That is normal operation. The foot switch only changes whether the audio signal is routed into the pedal, and the power for the indicator LED

Ok those values all look correct. We've verified the op amp is secured in place correctly and operating correctly as well. Silence when the circuit is engaged usually means the signal is shorted to ground somewhere. How are the pins underneath your tone pot? On the backside of the switch PCB...
