Also curious. I use hot glue for everything, including a LOT of pedal-related stuff.

Dude, you need to get one of these:

Check ebay and other places, like Amplified Parts/etc. I've found a wide variety of cool LED lenses just by googling pictures.

I'm not super familiar with how EEPROM-based effects work, but is it an easy thing to get a custom one programmed so that I can drop it into a Pythagoras and have the three options be: 1) reverb; 2) through-module (no effect), and 3) delay? This is going into a larger project and the most...

SMD-only is logical and not going to be an issue for many, but I'm concerned that people new to pedal building or new to soldering are going to have a lot of trouble with SMD stuff. I suggest that projects which require them include a warning on the project page, as well as possibly a...

Fyi: If you're still unsure, LEDs are a pretty easy thing to test and flip if necessary.

Could be several things, including dirty power or a micro solder bridge, which are some of the more likely issues.

You're welcome. Aw yeah, tiny solder bridges. Those are very easy to check for and are very often the cause of the issue. Glad your pedal is working.

Hey Mike, I'm not sure you need to worry much about the width of the caps, but the narrower option is probably more likely to fit. Certain caps, such as 470nF caps come in a small and larger size. PedalPCB usually accommodates this by creating a larger foorprint (the spot on the board where...

You mean effect in output A and dry in output B? Wire a buffered bypass: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/unison-double-tracker-in-stereo-solved.534/#post-3043

Yes It's fine to sub a 1/4w with a 1/2w, etc. This deals with the power dissipation and is really of no concern in a guitar pedal. BUT 10R is literally 1/1000 the resistance of a 10k resistor. The 'k' indicates a 1000x multiplier and the 'R' is shorthand for 10 ohms or 10Ω ). You are...

Here's a conversion chart: https://in.element14.com/uf-nf-pf-capacitor-conversion-table and a calculator: https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/basic_concepts/capacitance/capacitor-conversion-chart-uf-nf-pf.php

Usually eBay. But if you still can't find the exact value, resistors (and caps) have a tolerance: You can buy a set of 20 or so values of a very close value test each one and use the one that's the closest to the value you need. That said, I looked at the schem and you can almost definitely...

I actually have that picture printed out above my bench. I rarely use the little (2-prong) jacks anymore and when I do, so still use the multimeter to check. Don't believe all the pictures online, esp LED legs)

It depends on what they do in the circuit, but the answer is probably "absolutely not." (You may need to go on ebay and buy a handful of electros. Getting missing parts this way is very common.) Which build are you working on?
