    Twill Deluxe - Great Barrier Keef

    I'll definitely look into grabbing some of these and using them on some future builds and some troublesome past ones. I have had zero luck with anything from Aion FX, they just never want to work for me. I don't know if it's the way they have to be grounded and I'm doing it wrong, but it's...

    Twill Deluxe - Great Barrier Keef

    That is a brilliant idea. I'd thought about using something like that when I had two pickguards for a guitar and rather than having to get out the soldering iron it could be more easily swapped out. Have you found a particular style of terminal block that works well? I would worry about them...

    Aion obscura issue

    Could you let me know if you found a solution? I'm having issues with an Obscura build as well. The bypass signal is fine, but when I engage the pedal, the LED comes on, but there is no output. I've checked various connections with a multimeter to ensure they are OK, but so far, no joy...

    What does right side of Twill Deluxe do, exactly (Les Lius)?

    I'm not sure if you ever got a respone on this but that does sound correct in terms of how the pedal behaves. When the right side boost is engaged it doesn't do a whole heap until you get the knob to aroudn that 3 'o'clock position and beyond. My Twill Deluxe build does the same, and so does...

    Twill Deluxe - Great Barrier Keef

    My second forray into pedal building, having completed a Dielectric Boost before. A similar circuit, and another satisfying build that turned out really well. Hardest part of this build is that the LED holes didn't line up with the PCB so I have to solder wires from the board to the LED legs...

    Dielectric Boost - Tchula - Just Joshin'

    Staying true to the original layout, I like it ! I put on longer wires than necessary between the footswitches and the board so I had room to work, knowing I'd probably be pulling it apart to fix something I got wrong. The same goes for the leads to the input and output jacks. I believe Tayda...

    Dielectric Boost - Tchula - Just Joshin'

    I did try that funnily enough, but then it became obvious to me that the LED's wiring would also then have to be reversed and I've already soldered them to the PCB. There's no extra wiring left on them to play with and not a lot of room between the LED bezels and the underneath of the PCB. My...

    Dielectric Boost - Tchula - Just Joshin'

    My first ever pedal build. I've had the PCB sat in a drawer for about 18 months, and I've been following posts on this amazing forum for nigh on two years now. My wife says I'm a world class procrastinator. She's not wrong. I've had a couple of Tchula pedals over the years, and it was...

    SOLVED Dielectric boost - no change when boost channel is engaged

    Thank you all. It's alive, and sounds glorious. The culprits were a couple of cold solder joints. When the new soldering iron finally arrived it made a world of difference, I can even overlook its Ikea blue and yellow colour scheme. It did take me a while to get started, I've had the PCB sat...

    SOLVED Dielectric boost - no change when boost channel is engaged

    First pedal build, and it's been a learning experience. I've got to the stage where the pedal will engage, and sounds as I'd expect it to. The issue is when I engage the boost side which should be then controlled by the single pot. The sound doesn't change at all, and turning the pot makes no...
