    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    I'm only taking about how they specify things like "film", "ceramic", etc. next to components on the parts list.

    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    I apologize for mispresenting myself in an antagonistic fashion. That was indeed my screw up, and caused a lot of unnecessary argument. I'm in no way asking for everything to be handed to me, and I'm not sure how that came across. Literally all I'm trying to say is that extreme barebones docs...

    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    Thanks. I'll give that a look. I was never advocating for lots of fluff, just more specific part types listed for a "default" build, in the fashion of Coda Effects and Breakfast Audio's docs. And yeah, looking back at my posts, I could have worded myself better. I can see how some of my more...

    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    Well, I tried to be explicitly clear in my OP, twice, that I wasn't putting any expectations, demands, or judgements on the site operator. I was just trying to give a counterpoint to the view I was seeing form other posters, that bare minimum docs were actively better in a general sense. In...

    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    I... have no idea how you would get that conclusion from my statements logically? I literally cannot make sense of what you're asserting about what I said.

    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    I've been reading and watching videos for the past 2 months. You're doing that thing people do when they argue where they leapfrog to the most extreme possible interpretation of the other's position. Literally all I'm saying is that better documentation helps people better. And all I'm defining...

    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    Yeah, that's why I say "unintentional" gatekeeping. As you say, people here are all kinds of helpful and supportive when asked. I don't think anyone here actually wants to gatekeep, and I get why the intimation would bristle. I'm saying that these lines of thinking about documentation can...

    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    I'm not lashing out. I'm just trying to provide a counterpoint. I tried to clarify up front that I wasn't trying to attack, because I know from experience that sometimes it doesn't matter: the mere fact that one is disagreeing is enough to get people riled up into reading the disagreeing party...

    jb weld? much better than regular epoxy?

    So, my apologies if this is a necro (thread is less than a month old, but I don't know the local standards) but as an old modeller who's used all off the materials mentioned above, I hope I can provide a comparison: My most recommend would be the hardware store steel-impregnated epoxy putty. It...

    Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

    At the risk of being misinterpreted, and/or getting off on the wrong foot as a forum newbie... As a pedal building noob, I have to provide a contrast to some of the sentiments above. The fact PedalPCB offers so much is amazing, but I have to honest: the terse documentation is a speedbump to...

    Will I need a preamp for this?

    Thanks! That's a big help. I'll definitely post the results when I get it put together. Might be a bit 'cause I gotta collate part orders and design a case (I kinda want to box up the amp and cab sim as a single unit), but I am exited. I'm pretty new to this. My only electronics experience has...

    Will I need a preamp for this?

    Thanks for the reply, but that wasn't what I was asking (apologies If my wording was muddled). I want to know if the PedalPCB headphone amp can use the raw "weak" signal directly from a guitar, or if it needs a separate preamp stage to boost the signal first. I have a headphone amp from a...

    Will I need a preamp for this?

    I'm a total newbie to pedal (and amp) building. I'm looking to put together a small headphone-only amp unit for bedroom practice. I have the PedalPCB headphone amp and UniCab boards which I plan to chain together to this end. Will I need to add a preamp, will the Unicab act as one, or does the...
