Indeed, Pantone says "Viva Magenta descends from the red family, and is inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the most precious dyes belonging to the natural dye family as well as one of the strongest and brightest the world has known." And that it's "a new animated red that revels in pure...

Has anyone tried the new(?) Viva Magenta? I placed an order for a Viola Pink enclosure last week and Tayda reached out to let me know that it's now out of stock with no ETA. They suggested Viva Magenta as an alternative, which looks darker in their photos but lighter on the Pantone swatches.

I did a Mahayana/Zendrive and it turned out fine. Note that there was a white layer under the black.

As others have mentioned, latency is going to be your greatest challenge. In 2020, I got this working via JackTrip (instructions here, though it now seems to have turned into a commercial offering). I was in SF and my friend was in Portland, ~600 miles away. Latency becomes...

I recently wanted to build a Klone for bass and decided to take some inspiration from Chuck's well-considered and helpfully explained mods. This is my third Kliché Mini build and they've all been a breeze — really a fan of this layout! Figuring that I might want to tweak the clean channel...

If you're going to use Tayda's drill service, this might help. :) https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=ZWhqRjR6d1dQRXhrT2EwaFBoQXJyQT09Cg==

I should clarify: the discount is on the drilling and UV printing services, not on the enclosures themselves. For example, when you buy 10 drill service jobs, the price drops from $4.50 to $3.00 apiece. And UV printing drops from $4.00 to $3.00 (with a $0.50 discount on the gloss service too if...

Yeah! And the best part is that you don't have to get 10 identical items: you can have a different drill and UV printing template for each of them and still get the discount.

I use a dab of hot glue between the switch and PCB. The six pieces of bus wire alone (four to the main PCB and two to the switch) hold it pretty securely but I figure it's better to be safe. 😄

Thank you both! I went minimal with the design on this one because I was trying to get to the 10-enclosure-discount threshold at Tayda and I was running out of time to place the order. Similar situation with a Tellurian / Earth Drive I did as part of this batch, which I'm now really liking and...

I suppose this is also an opportunity to mention that I used that same graphic on a new enclosure for an older Aion ST-9 build. I really wish there was a PedalPCB version of that one... just sayin'. 😜

Full disclosure: This SVG made it relatively easy. I just had to do some cropping in Affinity Designer and add the border + text. 😄 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%22The_scream%22._Wellcome_L0011212.svg

Thanks! The differences are noticeable but not drastic. C4: Changes the corner frequency from 720 Hz to 600 Hz, so it's a tiny bit more "full" sounding. I've played with different values in other TS builds and this is the sweet spot for me (I use the pedal as an overdrive—usually stacked into...

Thanks! For the relay switching board, I've found that the bus wire alone often seems like it's probably sufficient, but it can get a little questionable when the main PCB is smaller (so longer and therefore less stiff pieces of bus wire). Because of that, I drop a small dab of hot glue on the...

Thanks! Yeah, I keep playing around with it and thinking, "Hey this sounds pretty good — I could use this..." and then switching to another pedal that I like just a bit better. 😂
