Would you mind sharing your parts list and resource?

Yes it is.

I had a similar issue. The pedal worked on the test bench and even when I installed the PCB in the case. As soon as I tightened the 1/4" jacks to the case, the pedal failed to work and I got a tremendous hum. So, I decided to cut a small piece of electrical tape to each component that made any...

Hello all. I had this pedal lighting up on the bench when I first assembled it. I didn't install the on/of LED at the right height and opted to remove and place a spacer in so it would fit in the mounting bezel. I've trashed a couple of LEDs at this point trying to get it right and the last time...

These are all good points. Like I told Peccary, I got the one in the second set of photos working. I was able to get the broken 100n cap leg out on the other and soldered in a replacement. I think I ordered enough replacement parts to replace all the burnt caps and just ordered other parts from...

The great news is that the second set of photos is working both on the testing board and installed in a Tayda box. So I have one working and complete compressor now! The board depicted in the first set of photos does this hilarious thing when I attach it to the testing board and flip the bypass...

So I able to turn the transistors around along with the D4 diode. I assembled the pedal and gave it a whirl. I got no sound but the C3 100n Wima capacitor got so hot that I could smell it. I managed to get it out but I'm still working on getting one of the pins out. Would anyone dare take a...

@fig The D4 was soldered in wrong for sure. I fixed that. The white strip indicating polarity on the D101 was printed only on one side! Luckily I can see it is installed correctly. Going through the others to make sure they are correct. Thanks again for the heads up!

That is the best course of action moving forward, for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!

I went into this headfirst with blind confidence figuring I'd learn as I go. I bought two and built them at the same time. Double the hard lesson. Yup, I learn stuff the hard way,

Oh well, I know what I'm doing tomorrow night. Thanks!

Hello all, this is my first attempt to build an effects pedal. I am second-guessing my installation of the transistors in the photo below. This is a Delegate Boneyard compressor. I am still waiting on a couple of parts so I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. Something tells me I'm going to...

That looks like a super clean build. Would you happen to have a build of materials you wouldn't mind sharing? I have two of these boards arriving today but I've struggled to source parts from Mouser since this is my first time.
