I figured it could be done. My brain was just not putting it together the past couple times I looked at it

After years of building different things, I feel kind of dumb asking this question. Can the OD section of the Countdown Phaser (A/DA phaser) be completely omitted? I might have to jumper, but I don’t need another OD. I’m sure it’s stupidly simple and I’m just hallucinating ideas. Thanks PS if...

I’m now co-opting the phrase: “and adopted a method to adjust how much signal is sent” whenever I install a potentiometer to shunt signal to ground.

Great first build. /hides first build as it looked like a person with two left hands put it together, though it worked

I think a business card is about .25mm. Maybe? Remember it’s a general guideline.

Whomstve of us doesn’t want retinal damage from the ultra-bright UV LEDs?

A quick peek at the schematic shows it’s basically a fuzz face. Which means you probably should have Q2 about 4.5V?

Glow in the dark washers. Interesting. /writes down a note

Rob Robinette’s EF80 (edit: not ef90) 2W output with little pentodes have had good reviews. Is it going to flap your stick shorts in the breeze like a 30-50W PP EL34? Nope. Will it sound really good and have cheaper output transformers? Yep. And yes, transformers are ri-goddamn-diculously...

After careful analysis: PS — build a light bulb limiter. It’ll save your ass (well, stickbutt) of something goes wrong in wiring

Honest question: did you try flipping the leads? I always seem to screw up the legs for the LEDs at least 1 out of every 3ish builds.

Looks great! I like the effect you get with your enclosure colors. I’m assuming simple acrylics just smeared/wiped across aesthetically pleasingly (I could be stupid too. Oh wait, I are dumb). Hoping to have my Hotcake up by the end of the summer as well. Thanks for the feedback on the circuit.

Dude. You are crushing it. Do I need to put another pedal on the “I’d like to build this pile?” Nope. But do I really really want to? YOU BET. Going to read through and see what ideas there are and think about a daisy seed build in the future

Glad you solved it. I apologize for not being clearer. I should have asked a better question about the red 3mm led and explained the LDR better. I was in a funk yesterday as I was working on my projects and had 3 unsuccessful tries. Good luck with the future builds!

Robert is the Motel 6 of pedal building: he’ll leave the light on for you.
