Sorry for the delay! I've been using as it is and was embarrassed by my work because I built it when I had a cannabis problem. I hope you can help me solve the issue. I had black tape on the toggle switch to insulate it from the treble lugs but I don't think it's working. The bass pot had black...

Seems like bass is stuck at halfway, still no control with the pot.

I replaced the pot and still the same problem. This time I used a lug pot so I can see in behind it. Will check C12 and R16 and all my joints, that's probably what it is.

Yes I did, I didn't know that, thanks!

Thanks! I'll check that out. It was a kit from Musikding so it's more likely a bad solder joint. The bass pot measures at 500k for some reason but it is a 1M.

The treble was the only lug pot, the rest are pcb mount. It was making contact with the toggle switch. A little black tape fixed that but I'm still stuck on why the bass isn't working.

Is it something I did or is just the way the board works? Mids work fine but bass and treble don't seem to be working. Deep switch works great.

Built the Integral Preamp and it is pretty cool. I didn't know the boards had the part listed right on them. Really like the sound. I may take it apart and look over my work, see where I can improve.

Built a few more pedals, Tayda's Box of Metal and Distortus Maximums(I like this one better). Got my first PedalPCB board, the Integral Preamp kit. Looking forward to assembling that. I absolutely love Tayda's Jfet preamp, I built that with a 2n5457 and it sounds really good. Edit: Figured out...

I take it back, haha...I don't want a spreadsheet or a database. Those are impressive management skills. I don't have the space to work on more than one thing at a time. I am enjoying the nightfire amp, it was fun to build and it sounds great to me. Should have drilled my box before I built it.

Haha! 1200 is quite a bit, but if you're making stuff out of it I can see it. A dozen projects would be difficult for me to keep track of, I hope to get to that point though.

Sounds like you are doing great too! I love Tayda! Doing a few builds from them next. I definitely need to do more checking my orders, I'm so new to this that when you get 100 items in your cart it seems overwhelming haha. Oh that's too bad you had to replace the cap on four pedals. I just made...

Built the Aion FX Stratus. No issues, fun to build. Wasn't sure I'd have any use for it but it sounds pretty good. Next is the 14 watt amplifier project and the Integral Preamp, when they arrive.

Thanks for the very helpful advice! I'd like to build the M800 but I need more experience with capacitors and biasing a jfet. Thanks for the tip where to get the J201. I will read up on the Lead Solder Overdrive! The Crunch Captain seems like a fun build.

Got my Aion FX kit! Going to build that soon. I was wondering: How hard is it to build the Lead Solder Overdrive? That's my ultimate goal. I have the SLO pedal and the AMT S-drive mini, but I could always use a third to play with. Can someone recommend a JCM800 emulator for a novice? Is there...
