+1 im not understanding the problem requiring CMOS, that 555 relay circuits haven't been able to solve. IME they've demonstrated to work just fine with a 9V (& 12V) supply. i feel like i'm missing something here - it would appear that going for a more complicated circuit with a large 14pin IC...

the LED resistor is marked here as CLR (= current limiting resistor) also, you don't have to use 4K7. it depends on the type of LED and how bright you like it. IMO, 4K7 is too large (too dull) for diffused LEDs, for waterclear/superbright LEDs, i find around 22K works well.

chop all of the legs, as @Aentons has suggested. then try and remove each of them one by one.

+1 pretty much agree with everything @z2amiller mentioned. diminishing returns etc. on the watt rating for resistors. you’re not running high currents in a pedal circuit to warrant anything higher than 1/2W or even 1/4W. i’m not qualified to comment if it’s worth it, but i guess you could get...

it's indicative of a connection/junction point - i'm pretty sure this is where one of the header pins would go, i.e. a point where one board meets the other

DIY tuner that costs about x2 TU-2s to land

FMD i need this for all the socket threads

gosh these are cool. way nicer than standard box caps. where from?

no schematic?! denied!

💯 the gospel according to RG Keen: http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/carbon_comp/carboncomp.htm

no idea, but from my build report I had these mods: - R4 - 4.7M, R2 - 6.8K (for increased/improved output volume) - 2N3904 for Q3, Q4 (lamp drivers, ?something about higher current capacity) dunno about the speed mods but it looks like @zeropluszero has that covered above

my apologies. to me it appeared to be reacting, as has occurred in other threads of the same topic that seem to generate a little bit of friction 😉 should’ve known better and just ignore the thread. all good 🍻

bro, calm down, i’m not your dad, im not @bluedmc777 ‘s dad either, my opinions aren’t an instruction. if you wanna use sockets, fill your boots, do what makes you happy 🫶🏻 i initially opted to stfu because i knew i’d see reactive emotional posts like this, but @bluedmc777 asked, so deal with...

if you take the time to breadboard the circuit: - this will allow you to select the ideal transistors that sound good to you. the same point/concept applies to selecting clipping diodes, opamps or whatever else for many other circuits that don't involve obsolete parts. i.e. for many circuits...
