I can’t believe I have another build report! I started this over the weekend and finished it tonight. I now realize that I’m more motivated when I have everything I need to finish a pedal which, in this case, I did, thanks to Robert’s excellent faceplate. The build went very smoothly. It only...

I never could have told if you hadn’t pointed it out! Is that for a pedal or to mount in a guitar? Also how do you solder in, out and power?

Just to close the loop, I finally replaced IC6 in favor of TL022 and the ticking is completely gone. Like I can’t hear it at all. Fantastic.

That was my first thought but there seems to be enough clearance between the two wires. Also the short when away after I wiggled the input jack so that doesn’t fit…

What's that? A build report? From @giovanni of all people? What? It's been years, didn't he hang the soldering iron to the wall? Ahem. Yes, long time no build, long time listener, first time (in a long while) caller... I finally emerge from my dark cave with a build report. And it only took me...

If you’re referring to D6 it looks like it’s a led that should turn on and off with the LFO speed? It sounds like your LFO is not working? Please post clear pics of front and back of your board and all soldered connections.

Thank you! They did not recommend that as an alternative for some reason.

I have been trying to find the NE555D for the tone generator on Digikey but they seem out of stock and they say it's out of production. They do suggest substitutes, such as NE555S-13 or NA555D or NA555DR but I have no idea if those will work (and I could probably do a bit more legwork looking at...

If only we had some pre-made BOMs for high quality components for all pedals! :P

Yeah but it’s gotten a lot better. I searched for BC109 and I only had to choose “transistors” and then the two relevant results showed up:

I just opened both sites (on my phone), entered TL022 (for the Cepheid and my DuoPhase build which ticks a bit with TL072) and only a handful of results showed up and there was no endless selection of filters to sift through to find one item out of hundreds of thousands! If the search has gotten...

My guess is probably? I have just finished one but haven’t been able to test it out yet. I’ll let you know when I do.

I hope you feel better soon! Leukemia sucks a$$.

And it sold for only $800?!?

Arduino project yay!!!
