What is the part number for the Input/output and expression jacks? I don't have any of the pcb mounted jacks on hand and Tayda has so many options I'm not sure which one is correct. Thanks

These are the type I used for the prototypes:
I'm planning to work up an alternate Tayda drill template with slotted holes for the jacks so these can also be used, but you'd need the holes slotted to the edge of the enclosure in order to use them.

Would these work as well for all 3 jacks?These are the type I used for the prototypes:

That looks similar, both are clones of the Neutrik NMJ6HCD2.
Also, you might want to drill a slightly oversized hole for the expression jack. It needs to be insulated from the enclosure.

Thanks. While I have you, what are the FCR14422 used for? Is it for the jacks?

Ooh so that's what those holes are on the PCB on the ends of jacks??
Robert

Yep.

Hahaha ya that’s what was throwing me for a loop. I was looking for an 8 pin jack. I get it now

Sorry, one last thing (maybe), for the rotary pot daughterboard, is it meant to mount to the PCB with pin headers? I haven't used those yet...

Yep, just get a strip of these and break off the number of pins you need. (1x5 and 1x6)

I solder them into the main PCB before installing it into the enclosure, short end into the PCB, long end pointing up on the component side of the board.
Drop the rotary switch into the enclosure, slide the breakout board into the pins and down over the lugs of the rotary, then solder in place.
Make sure you set the limit washer on the rotary switch so you have 5 positions. (should be the fourth hole)

I never use these style of jacks and the FCR14422 is making me feel dumb especially without an enclosure drilled yet - does the plastic regular washer go before the ground washer or are both plastic washers on the outside of the enclosure?

Did you insulate the jack from the enclosure?

It's currently unboxed but it's an insulated jack, yes.

Same.
Stone deaf mentions that it's designed for use with their proprietary expression pedal. How that differs from my rickety Amazon jobbie, I couldn't tell you.

Looking at the traces on the board rn, I definitely don’t understand how the expression jack is configured relative to the dual-gang frequency control. I don’t doubt that the trace is correct, but without a schematic I’m definitely a bit perplexed by the configuration. Seems like it has the expression pedal working differently from the dual gang entirely
Edit:
Edit:
I think I know what’s going on now, which explains why the expression pedal configuration makes no sense with an assumption of a standard expression pedal configuration. The stone deaf “proprietary” expression pedal must consist of a dual gang pot with a common sleeve connection to either lug 1 or 3 of the two pots, and the wiper of the two pots being the tip and ring connections. Easy to put together for sure, but not at all like a normal expression pedal. I can draw it up tomorrow if anyone doesn’t get what I’m saying.
