Are you sure the BOM is for this board? I don't see FB1 or FB2 on the BOM either.

There's also this https://hackaday.com/2018/11/29/build-a-plate-reverb-from-ikea/ But tbh I'm not sure how great it sounds. No guitar in that example, and for digital drums and synths the easiest comparison is the million audio plugins which obviously will sound "nicer".

From my experience as doing live sound and also mixing recordings, it just sounds like the kind of thing someone thinks they want, and later on with more experience understand they were mistaken and it is not a good idea. In my opinion, it's reasonable to try and help someone if that is the case...

Sorry, HM-2 below 80Hz? Is this for a bass? Or an idiot? Sorry I'm being a very judgemental but unless it's for bass guitar, is there no bass guitar or kick drum involved?

This is the smalles one I can think of https://shop.mas-effects.com/products/3-picofuzz-pcbs But you don't need that small I assume. Edit: Here's one you can stick a 3PDT into https://shop.mas-effects.com/collections/diy/products/stompfuzz if that fits in the can, I'm not familiar with Zyn cans.

To add to the other comments: For electrolytic caps (and maybe some other caps too, but less commonly - I think mylar caps might be one, they're usually an "alternative" for film box) you need to keep the voltage rating in mind too. Your best bet is getting 25V or 35V (or even 50V) rated...

That's a good point - for a reverb that goes into overdrive or distortion (or even fuzz), you don't need to be so hifi.

I find that a small amount of room reverb where you don't think it actually has any reverb, but notice if it's gone, is great. But I'm not sure if I would bother doing that if I wasn't using a multi-effects pedal.

To be honest lately I've just been using some slight room reverb from the Quad Cortex, or VST's for recordings. I don't play often with a lot of reverb, I'm more of a rhythm guy and it's so easy to lose clarity. That being said, I've built Gravitation (which is... fine, but nothing amazing to...

Probably @szukalski https://github.com/szukalski/pedal-simple-relay, the v2 SMD board is tiny, but unless someone can send it to you you'll have to order multiples from JLCPCB.

Yep, it is annoying and tricky at first, but it does get much easier. The electrolytic caps are really the hardest ones, since you need to keep size and voltage in mind (and getting higher values in the required voltages means they can be too large, at times). It's not really an issue with most...

Yeah the 400V ones look too big to fit very well (you might be able to lay it sideways just for a laugh though), but be careful with those 6.3V electrolytic caps, most pedals run at 9V or higher and 100uF sounds like it might be doing power filtering duty, so you should preferably have at least...

FWIW this order finally shipped today, a month after ordering. But to be fair, that was caused by the single (chromium) enclosure failing like three times and having to be redone, so it entered another wait cycle too (I assume due to batching of the enclosures).

This is excellent! How are the electrolytics handled? Or I guess the smaller ones are easy (there's small enough ones at high enough voltages easily), does it skip the higher value ones or are those something we should maybe handle manually? Even if the process becomes "input BOM's, take quick...

That feeling where you read a post, go "Hey that sounds like a good idea! I should start doing that", go to like it, and... I've already liked it. Whelp, see you next time when I (again) realize it would be a good idea.
