Couldn’t tell you the math, this was awhile ago haha. I used 5817s. It just adds a bit of grit, nothing spectacular but I like it a lot.

I’m gonna hold back because this isn’t the place for socio-political/ethical discourse. :ROFLMAO:

Without a schematic or really any basic idea of what kind of pedal it is it’s just a shot in the dark. If you’re using a logarithmic potentiometer try using an anti/reverse logarithmic (C) pot of the same value.

I’d check your values to start with, R2 looks like 820k where 8.2k should be.

I get Kemets from Mouser, they’re usually pretty cheap if you buy 100.

Lee’s is my favourite shop, support them when you can! When I lived in Vancouver I was there all the time, now when I visit I make a point to go see em.

Carl Sagan is proud :’)

Yeah as long as it’s a switching jack like that one you'll be fine. Making sure you have a 50k expression pedal is more of a problem haha.

The brokerage threshold into Canada is 20 dollars. It’s ridiculous.

If you offload em let me know, I’m in Victoria! :D

Jameco has em https://www.jameco.com/z/CDS002-9203-Jameco-Valuepro-Photocell-CdS-5-20K-Ohm-at-10lux-20M-at-0lux-90mW-150V_202391.html

Yep!

That’s just what I found worked best. You need to use a laser printer, ink doesn’t work. Honestly it’s a lot of trial and error, I would go to an office supply store and buy a few single sheets of different styles and just go nuts experimenting. Glossy picture paper is fine, glossy cardstock...

Before I got a laser it was my go to method. Sometimes I etched the negative image and sometimes I just put clear coat over the toner transfer. I had the best luck with thin (65gsm I believe) glossy cardstock paper. I also found one of those old school flat irons without any holes/steam features...

Yay more laser using folk! I also have a Neje Master 2. If you use Lightburn there is a “Frame” button that will do an outline for you without burning to line up your etch…it’s pretty simple but your method obviously works!
