I have finished my build of a revised Terrier Review, ProCo Rat copy built on the PedalPCB Muroidea Distortion (2025 update). Mods I may have learned a few things since my first build, in which I strictly painted-by-numbers. I breadboarded the circuit before I built it to evaluate alternative...

I have the MicroXLR for the balanced output, yes. I am curious about the third output, called the parallel on the Darkglass Alpha Omega that is just a pass through of the input signal. The pass through output isn't showing in the tracing journal, so I am guessing it's just wired straight from...

I am building the Empyrean Deluxe from AionFX for someone else, and they wanted to have the XLR and parallel output from the original. The parallel out isn't shown on the tracing journal for the Darkglass Alpha Omega (or I am getting lost in the spaghetti). Is it really as simple as just running...

I think this is the reason - you could also add a resistor or use a lower output LED to adjust the external LED's brightness.

My skills with a crimp tool exceed my skills with a soldering iron? But seriously, you have a valid point - I prefer to be able to work on the pedal outside of the case, but I could halve the connectors and still get the ease-of-assembly that I am seeking. I will have to see how that works in...

I think I am following your logic, with taking the buffered bypass off of the effect PCB. As a matter of troubleshooting, setting it to true bypass will confirm that this is not the issue. Alternatively, if you remove the input (form Effect PCB) to the relay board (but leave your in-jack...

Maybe an obvious question, but shouldn't these be on when there is power to the pedal? Just looking at the circuit, there is nothing that switches the LEDs off. Are they visibly oscillating in intensity? Are you not getting the tremolo you expect?

Nice build. As a synth first guy, I have to add this to my stack, Which grows faster than I build, and I swear I am kicking out pedals.

I thought I was going to build up my next Fuzz Debate this weekend, with more tuning and different NPN, but nope, turns out I оrdered the wrong 4PDT switch, so I grabbed another project that has a case waiting for the pedal. Here's my second build of the Ohl Junction, a PedalPCB Guvernator. A...

Hmm. When I touch with soldering iron, I tend to poke the bits around. I do have a heat gun, is that useable for reflow or will I destroy the components?

OK. After a few too many work-for-salary evenings, I assembled my MicroXLR. Easily the worst solder job I've done in decades :p. Now I need to build the board to connect to it (a Darkgllass Alpha Omega clone from AionFX). The only other SMD I've done are adapters for SOIC or transistors. I...

I have created a Github Repository to share the KiCad files for PCB breakout boards for the Neutrik M-Series style audio jacks. There are variants for Lug or PCB mounts, and for JST-XH and JST-PH headers. I have verified the versions with JST-PH headers. gtfields13/SharedPCB

You might try again. I just uploaded and I think they are there now. I have versions to upload for these jacks with the larger JST-XH connectors as well.

Thanks for the compliment! I have this brand concept in my head and am trying to execute and improve. I have made a couple of iterations of jack PCBs so I can use removable connectors to link the boards. I created these in KiCad and have made them using either the DigiKey DKRed service or...

A legible version of the Tone Law!
