Could this effectively be done with a 4PDT switch or should there be other components (other than 2 - 8 pin sockets on a daughterboard) to reduce the strain from sudden switching?

So, I ended up using a 5mm LED for the rate/status LED. I originally had a 3mm in there and had an issue when I first fired up the pedal that took out both LEDs and the Voice pot. After reviewing all the sage wisdom of this forum (thanks guys 🙏), I reflowed any suspicious contacts, cleaned and...

I think you were probably asking this of BrainDrain, but here are a couple of pics from my recent build with the 2nd LED wired to show both status and rate. I wired pretty much according to the diagram I posted earlier. It's hard to see, but the blue wire coming from pin 8 of the 3PDT is going...

Good to know. Thanks for the update! I just started building my Abyss and I want to do this mod but have the 2nd LED function as both Rate and Status. I came up with a crude drawing for the offboard wiring using a slightly different true bypass wiring scheme. We'll see how it goes.

You would need to unsolder 1 of the LED leads from the PCB. Basically, the anode of the 1st LED is soldered to the anode pad on the PCB, then the cathode from the 1st LED is soldered to the anode of the 2nd LED. Finally, you would solder the cathode of the 2nd LED to the cathode pad on the PCB.

Bummer that Amazon is currently out. Hopefully they will restock at some point. Just in case you need more of the glue that comes with the Sunnyscopa Film-Free Decal packet: I ran out since there's no way that small glue pouch would last for multiple pedal artwork sessions. After doing some...

Sorry to hear that. It happens. Thanks for letting me know.

Nice artwork! I'm currently brainstorming for artwork on my own General Tso's Compressor and I noticed your Mode switch is opposite from the build docs. Which one is correct?

I don't know yet. The PCB is currently en route. :cool: Currently putting parts orders together, but I'll let you know when I finish the project.

Digi-Key has some helpful conversion calculators on their website. I refer to the capacitance chart often. Conversion Calculators

That’s what I’m going to do.

I was wondering the same thing, so I experimented with some 5mm Yellow LEDs, a CLR and a 9V battery. I found that 2 LEDs in parallel affects the brightness a little, but the difference is hardly noticeable when connecting them in series. I also tried a 5mm Red LED with a 5mm Yellow and had...

I know this is an old thread, but in case anyone is still following, I found a YouTube demo where the builder has a pulsing rate LED on his pedal. Bloomin' Vibe Demo // EQD The Depths Clone Someone asked in the comments how this was achieved, and the builder replied, "it's quite easy. the...

In case you are interested in doing any mods, here's an article from Brian Wampler on some good mods. 5 DIY Mods to Perfect Your Ibanez TS9 and Boss SD-1 I did the gain/bass boost mods on my SD-1 and made them switchable. Also changed R5 from 33K to 10K to allow the Drive control to clean up...

Kudos for taking on this ambitious project; building upon the original UniVibe circuit that could use some additional mojo. Looking at your schematics, I don't see a pot for the Pulse control. Is this essentially taking the place of the the Bias trimmer? I recently built an ElectroVibe Mini and...
