Great thanks, really should have labelled these parts better

Im building the aion amethyst (boss dm2) the build doc is specifying these caps. 100pF c0g 330pF c0g 100n x7r 200n x7r i have most of these values from in mlcc but im not sure if theyre x7r or c0g. Some came from tayda and some are from other suppliers. How important in the circuit are these...

Also had a blue note od too on this baord recently too.. which ive seen debated whether or not its a BB (sounds close enough for me). The BB circuit goes well with everything, boost in front of a marshall or evh 5150 check, edge of breakup on a princeton check.. stacked infront/behind other...

Very nice! MG has to be my current fav drive atm. Recently opened up my paragon (that has high gain resistors) and changed the clipping diode switches so it was only a "boost", very similar to the morning glory now. Running the the MG into the paragon is now my fav combo

I like the sho in that spot, how may parts is in that build? Also do you happen to have a have a lpb1 to try in that position? im sure it would get the job done too. I find the wackyness of the clarinot can be damn fun but also overwhelming at times. Its sounds pretty great with the modulation...

Clean switch is probably my fav mode. There is a noticeable vol drop when the clean is activated. But nothing a boost/drive pedal in front wont handle. I've seen some mention adding a small boost inside the pedal for the clean mode, if i build it again that definitely something id try. Id also...

Neat build! clean switch and gain pot are worthy additions. Its actually a pretty cool delay without the fuzz (and with the fuzz for that matter)

One of my fav pedals and im not a modulated guy normally

Yep, followed that video. Iron was getting hot and meltingsolder even at the tip but i was getting terrible soldering results. I had checked and even changed the temp and (then the tip) but still no improvement. Im not sure what the reset actually did but i had immediate results doing so.

New tip arrived but I was still having issues. Was about to order a new element but found a comment that recommended factory resetting the fx888. That fixed what ever was happening. Getting good soldering results again

Having some issues with a mantle fuzz build. I notice the build doc is missing the refdes layout (not sure if refdes is the correct name) Normally the first page of the build doc shows what and where a part number it is, its currently showing the component value. Would make troubleshooting a...

For pedal settings and signal chain, i take photos and then put them in a folder that has the date in the folder name

Good to know, im getting pretty crap results with the current tip. I tried a cheap ebay tip i had lying around and its having similar results. But ive got a legit hakko t18b on the way. Hopefully that brings it back to life.

Having some issues with my hakko fx888. Seems I may have left it on for a few hours without tining the tip. Did I burn out the heating element? I've got a new tip on the way l. Hopefully it's just due for replacement. I've had this tip for 4+ yrs.. it's done LOTS of work in that time Cheera

ok, thanks for the input. Ive used jb weld to patch holes before, works well.. but i would prefer something "nicer" for the plug as i dont plan to refinish the enclosure.
