You don't have to wire them in your schematic drawing order. Electrically, the nodes all see the same voltage. So, you could have a trace that goes 10k -> lug 1 of tone -> anode of 4148 -> cathode of 1n34a ... and be fine.

It's all part of the process... Make sure to order a handful of ICs instead of just one or two. I typically get 10 to 20 op amps each time I do an order.

First, awesome pedal as always! The stacked boards are a ton of fun to build imo. I'm a huge fan of Fairfield Circuitry pedals and agree that sometimes you can get some unpleasant surprises (see what I did there) from them. They do remind me of the best Dwarfcraft Devices pedals in that way...

Both your op amps were installed upside down on the first picture. A notch in the center of one edge or dot closer to one side than the other typically denotes where pin 1 of the IC is located. On the PCB for an IC, the silk screen image will typically have the notch and pin 1 will be a...

Yes, we all know that a DCA55 is grouped with food and shelter in the Physiological tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of Need.

I used the pot as a rheostat in this design and that is how I've normally done it. I've tried setting up the starve pot as a voltage divider with the third lug going through a resistor to ground to at least have some voltage going through and haven't had the results I was looking for with the...

I'm with you on FuzzDog designs, I like that he's got some different designs than here, but I really don't like the side jacks either so I end up adjusting everything like you.

Hello surface mount devices and JLPCBA. ;)

I've been holding off on anything for Tayda now thanks to the tariffs. In the last few orders I've done here's how it has broken down for me: Potentiometers and some ICs: Stomp Box Parts Most any IC or transistor: Mouser Most through hole parts: Tayda is still cheaper when including tariffs and...

Ok, cool. Totally misremembered the build doc.

It seems to be....

Any reason you didn't solder the s-sn connections on the right?

What transistor did you use? It looks like you installed it backwards compared to the silkscreen. I just built this same pcb to the gc-1 spec last weekend and it worked with no issues.

You should really go ahead and make the jump to KiCad. I did and it is so much better.
