I won’t deny that people do this, but it’s definitely not correct. Code requires machine screws into threaded holes. Tap tool usually costs less than failing an inspection.

Pitch vibrato with an LFO that can go into the audio frequency range (an HFO? just O? 🤷‍♀️), so you start getting side-bands. It’s pretty common in the synthesizer world but hard to find in pedal land. It sounds somewhat similar to ring mod, but a bit less aggressively dissonant maybe. The old...

So this is the board to get if you want to mess around with this? https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/fv1dev/ Curious if I could build a Frequency Modulation (aka Vibrato with an audio-rate modulation oscillator) effect with this…🤔

Your “CB Voice Mod” sounds like a better use of a toggle. Just wonder if it could reasonably be referred to as “Crunch”, to save me etching a new enclosure ;)

A lot of people use toner transfer to make a resist for etching. I guess you’re talking about just using the toner as a finished graphic itself? Seems fine, if you like the way it looks 🤷‍♀️ I’d definitely put some kind of clear coat (might have to experiment a bit to see what works) over it...

This seems to confirm that the Treadle pot is 100kB: https://www.tdpri.com/threads/taking-apart-an-expression-pedal-moog-ep-3.840672/ Though you can’t see what the Range pot value is. Not sure if that matters for your purposes 🤷‍♀️

Only if you’re an endlessly blockaded PUSSYfooter!! ;)

Yeah tin-snips are handy to have around whenever regular cutting pliers aren’t, umm, cutting it ;) Haven’t tried it, but I wonder if some kind of tile scoring/cutting tool might be good for this…🤔

I had one that came with an attachment that attached to the mat and plugged into the wall. The “hot” and “neutral” prongs were plastic. Only the ground prong was metal and “electrically” tied to the cord/mat. Guess the idea was to direct any static charges from the mat onto your household...

Just tried a bypassed Boss pedal in front of it. Does indeed seem impart a little extra oomf.

Had more time to play with it last night. Tweaked my amp settings a tiny bit, and it’s definitely growing on me…🤘

Aion’s version of the Percolator. I’ve got a PCB for PedalBuilder’s deluxe version that I’ll put together at some point. But this one was ready to go so I whipped it up. I think I originally got the parts for the Albini version, then I read somewhere that the non-Albini version was a little...

A while back my buddy said his old DS-1 had died on him. I almost offered to try and troubleshoot it for him, then decided it’d be way more fun to just build something;) Patron looked like the closest thing in the PPCB catalog, so that’s what I got. Pretty straightforward build. No major...

They make “soft touch/soft jaw” pliers in various sizes/styles. But I just keep a pair of channel locks with tape wrapped around the jaws, for odd tasks that the sockets won’t work for.

Looks like the 14mm Rocket Socket fits the toggle nut on my Epiphone SG. If you happen to have a set of those already… 🤷‍♀️ https://stompboxparts.com/rocket-sockets/
