yeah, that's it. the one fuzz (vintage, i think) just fades to silent as the knob is turned CW instead of introducing the other (the diode-clipped path i think). filter, blend, level working a-ok. aion is great! i've had only time to built a few from there, mostly because my needs are served...

my problem: blend & vintage fuzz work fine but no sawtooth fuzz. replaced ICs with no improvement but haven't gotten to the audioprobe stage yet; realized there was a mismatch between board/doc when outlining the audio path on the board. the problem likely doesn't involve the components i...

I hate resurrecting old threads but what they hay.... it's no important enough for me to start a new thread I've some trouble with my recent build (v1.1) and noticed that the build docs currently at the aionfx site don't seem to be accurate. I have the same build as you. Basically, I need to...

if nobody's mentioned thetonegeek, i had been meaning to build me so me some aquapuss now that i saw aion stocks the bbds. https://www.thetonegeek.com/product-page/aqua-puss-mk1-ap2-retrofit-pcb (on the other hand, the pedalpcb unison double tracker + spatialist has replaced just about...

yup. going this route + heatshrink: http://sm0vpo.altervista.org/begin/gimmik-0.htm

got it. i somehow didn't realize that the pedalpcb.com site didn't count as retail ('sales from business to consumer') in your mind. (as a pathological literalist i've got to get clarifications on everything.... my wife hates me!)

retail board as in the 29 pedals retail board or the pedalpcb retail board? i can confirm that my pedalpcb retail board also reads 3p, but that wasn't my concern. i'm wondering if it's supposed to be '3u' or something. (i assumed it wasn't petafarads, which is several order of magnitude...

started building this today and C1 is an nonpolarized cap with a large footprint (~same size as the 1uF boxes... my camera isn't cooperating) The silkscreen says '3p'. I wanted to check in case this is a typo/error because 3pF seems tiny. Any ideas on what it should be? also -- maybe an...

thanks! i felt it safer to ask a dumb question than risk butchering the removal of the wrong pot.

(lol... i'm familiar with orientation in three dimensions... and i don't remember taking any drugs this morning. i promise i took it into account). what i mean is that holes that go through the board are labeled differently on the silkscreens on different sides of the board. e.g the treble...

I'm getting around this morning to installing pots in a plaid preamp. The board silkscreen lists the treble/mid/bass pots as A100K, B25K, A1M, respectively, on the component side. This is typically what I use to identify what's needed, and the build docs aren't posted yet to check. However...

i think Ariel's response was that the green wire isn't needed as long as the enclosure&jacks are metal (since the grounds of the jacks are connected via the chassis). i haven't wired one of these up yet to test anything though...swamped at work. also...

definitely not an expert here and i'm planning to do wire up a dual pedal with order switch. anybody's 2cents about whether there is an ideal grounding setup for dual/switched pedals to prevent a ground loop? thought i'd ask before embarking on a lot of trial-and-error it's not clear from the...

i just finished building mine and wanted to throw in my two cents and qualitative/anecdotal analysis. the trimmer setting was important to getting a balanced response across all strings. without adjusting the trimmer, it seemed as though i could get good gate/swell on unwound strings and the...
