There is no way to check the vast majority of IC's with a multimeter in any mode. In fact you run a greater risk of damaging it through...

One way to remove an IC without harming the board is use some nippers or fine pointed cutters to carefully cut each leg. Once the IC is...

I can't read the label on the TL072, did it wash off when you cleaned the board? That's one of the classic signs of fake components...

Possible. I'm trying to figure out everything common between the two pedals exhibiting the same problems. You might be onto something...

So it’s hard to see in the pics but are you sure you mounted the ldr in the right direction? Also you should always use sockets for your...

Did you use the same power supply for both pedals? Have you tried different power supplies?

Yea thats a crazy long time. Ive thought about going that route, you might check with @steviejr92 he offers all the enclosure stuff...

Added a 100k resistor in parallel. Swapped for a 12ay7. Sounds about where I want it. I’ve got an A50k ordered. Thanks to all!

Tayda will be fine. Nothing going on in the US has changed a single thing about my buying habits for parts, except that shipping is more.

The plate voltage might sag a little with thirstier tubes, but it shouldn't really be a huge issue. If you're looking to get less...

You could also try throwing a 100k resistor in parallel with the A100k pot in the meantime. It will affect the taper so it won't be...

I’ll order an A50 and try a 5751, 12ay7 and 12au7 while I’m waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for your reply

+1 I’ve ordered from Tayda here and there over the years. They do sometimes have something I can’t find anywhere else, and the prices...

Well, well, well ... this is a pretty amazing box of sounds. The original from Smallsound/Bigsound was supposed to be a homage to the...

I'll wager that Robert would be willing to share the inductor footprint he uses on his Wah boards. As for why I prefer tantalum in this...
