The difference there is that while I do sell 9V pedals, they are not 9V circuits, and the high voltage caps in my pedals are actually necessary.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. I feel silly.

If you're using a 630V cap in a 9V circuit, it's never going to charge above 9V. The voltage rating pertains to the dielectric breakdown rating of the construction, it doesn't mean you're actually getting more electrons in there, just that it's possible to charge the cap to a higher voltage...

Are you looking for something to build or something to buy? If something to build, how complicated of a project are you looking for? If something to buy, what's your budget?

Manufacturers don't care, they'll fabricate it.

How many pedals are you planning to ship? I buy shipping boxes (in multiple sizes) from Uline, but obviously you have to buy them in bulk. I double box, so there's a white "pedal box" that the pedal fits snugly in while it's sitting on the shelf waiting to be shipped, and then there's a brown...

I mean I have obviously checked my circuit against the actual Noble, the only thing I'm missing is the B+ voltage, which I swear I wrote down somewhere but haven't been able to find since. The power supply will account for a lot of differences, especially when it comes to feel, but I will also...

@tdengineer thought this was a general electronics forum when he first signed up, so he's been posting every now and then about other stuff.

I have a 20W fiber laser (Xtools F1 Ultra) and tried a PCB once, but I wasn't able to get a usable result out of it. I saw a tutorial where someone with the same machine made a PCB, but all the comments were from people that tried it and weren't able to get it to work. I make PCBs at home with...

It's pretty much just like any other pedal build unless it doesn't work first try and you have to debug, then you need to be extra careful where your fingers are going. There shouldn't be any benefit to running it at 12V over 9V, but I've had people swear 12V sounds better, so use your ears for...

The Fdeck is one of the designs I used for inspiration for the variable HPF I put in my Finally v3, it's a great design. I'm not sure I could fit it into Grand Slampegg without going to a bigger box though.

I've been calling tee nuts hurricane nuts all this time, and it turns out hurricane nuts are something completely different. I'm learning things.

Adjusting the cap isn't going to change the corner, the passive RC filter is only going to give you -6dB/octave no matter what you choose. If you need a steeper slope you're going to need an active filter.

E4305 is back in stock, so all PCBs with D.I. are available with transformer included again.
