Ya know, I can see why people would make that mistake. It feels different somehow than the normal pots, like it would seem to go on in the same process as all the other parts.

Oh god I never got that far on my first attempt but I didn't know you could install it backwards. You don't mean upside down though, do you?

For sure, I used about 4 of the plastic blue suction pens and kept having to rotate them in and empty them as I moved along. And I used my first ever soldering iron that I got from Amazon to de-solder thinking I could save use on my nice Hakko station. But I should have stayed with my Hakko bc...

Thank you so much for the offer! I'll let you know if I missed anything. You all are so kind here!!! 🤘😝

Oh WOW you are too kind! 😭 If you think that is the best course of action here, then I humbly accept your amazing offer! I think I have the soldering skills now and would hate to go through all that work just to find out I messed up the PCB. If you want, I can even send you this PCB so someone...

I just stripped a Parentheses Fuzz PCB that was my first ever DIY pedal project. I had gotten about halfway through a very shoddy job of it before realizing I didn't have all the parts (and probably using some parts of questionable quality) so I put it aside. Now after a few successful pedals...

I want to create a dual looper pedal with a third footswitch to reverse the order of the loops. The two loop switches will be on/off with illuminated footswitches. I have breakouts for each of these illuminated footswitches. The reverse order switch will have two LED's next to it to show the...

One last thing I thought of...if I wanted the order switch to show one color LED going one way and then another color LED being reversed, would I need a 4PDT switch for the 3PDT order breakout board? Basically offset it to the side and then wire up LED's? I made a quick wiring diagram to show...

Ok this makes sense and I was wondering the same thing. So "IN" goes to "send" and "OUT" to "Return." That was the part I was not 100% sure about but logically that's what I was assuming. Thanks for the input!!!

I just realized that they added a Dual Effects Loop project here and I was wondering if the 3PDT order switch would at all be compatible with this. I've been wanting to create a dual effects loop with a third switch to flip the order forever but I just don't know enough about pedal construction...

Ok cool that's what I thought. So D8 and D9 are just alternate clipping diodes? What did you use for those?

I've read that the BAT41's are good for octave, but I'm not done with this build myself so I can't say for certain. But those are what I am planning to try. Obviously gonna socket everything. Related: can anyone help me identify which diodes are the octave diodes on the schematic/PCB?

OOOhhhhh gotcha. Yeah one of those is touching the bottom of the enclosure. I put electrical tape over the area that touches it (on the enclosure part) hoping that would work. Do I need to bend them more so that they aren't touching anything at all?

Thanks for the reply! Do I need to remove paint around all the holes or just the inputs? Also what do you mean by transistor heatsinks?

I wouldn't say I get more usable settings with the volume knob rolled down, it's just completely different sounds. It almost becomes a treble booster on roids with the guitar volume between 5-8. Never had a pedal that responded this much to the guitar's volume controls but I do think it's pretty...
