Excellent build, nice and clean. Thanks for sharing, @BuddytheReow! When I have doubts about pot orientation, I look to the PCB. PedalPCB (among others) will have pin 1 of the pot as a square pad. Very handy!

Simply excellent. Your builds are a real inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

I am surprised to report that these probably fake ICs from AliExpress seemed to work just fine in my Echo Dream II build. Here's my build report!

Hello friends! This build's spooky tale begins with a screwed up Tayda enclosure. I was intending to make a fancy abstract UV printed enclosure for an Into The Unknown PCB from Parasit Studio. Not only were the labels misaligned with the holes, but I somehow didn't realize the original drill...

Wow! Absolutely fantastic, inside and out! Thank you for sharing

Thank you for all the kind comments and reacts! With regards to using momentary switches: Yep, all of @temol's points are correct. I'll also add that these momentary switches make maintenance way easier too. If the footswitch wears out/fails, it's only a matter of soldering two wires to get up...

Hello! Huge thanks to @HamishR, @Chuck D. Bones, and especially @MattG. This has been a long time coming! MattG was generous enough to send one of his PCBs back in May (Edit: actually it was April!). I almost had enough parts on hand to build it, but was just missing the relay, so I waited...

Another idea, if you had access to a 3d printer or something that can cut acrylic, would be to make a shim that would fit between the enclosure and lid that would give you more vertical space. A quick search found this one (designed for LEDs but you get the idea)...

Wow, this is stunning! Excellent work, @steviejr92! When are you going to start selling enclosures?? :D

Not recently, but 2 years ago I grabbed one of these retrofit boards and it worked perfectly: https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/ic-that4301p20-u/ Cheers!

Just to rule out another possibility, I will say that I've had problems before with using just electrical tape as a protective layer for potentiometers under the PCB. Sometimes the leads on the PCB side are sharp enough to poke right through that soft tape and cause a short. Good job on using...

$25 is quite reasonable I think, considering all the effort! Curious though, would you consider selling a "finished enclosure" option at a higher price? I absolutely adore the pink "Live, Laugh, Love" design you've got going there. :)

Really digging these new wireless pedals ;) Joking aside, that looks really cool!

Wow, these are all so great. Excellent work! Your Quadratron in particular has inspired me to dump my current idea for mine (I was trying to copy the colors/graphic of the original, but it keeps looking like a McDonald's design reject) and go for a "phases of the moon" type of direction...

The PCB for Decadence Preamp calls for all 7 of the electrolytic caps to be rated at least 35V, so I wouldn't use 25V caps for this build. Hope that helps to clear things up!
