Hey, – I really appreciate this. I work with film free a lot and I noticed about a year ago that the glue was somewhat different in that it only took half the time to cure in the oven and any longer would cause something like – but not exactly like – the glue burning issue you had. The glue...

Back when I was doing Tayda UV prints, this is exactly the process I followed, except that I repeated steps 8 and 9 more times than are listed here. This is an excellent summary of the steps to a successful print job. M

This is an important point and bears some further explanation. Most printers that print on paper do not print white. If there is something pure white in your picture, what you are seeing is the white color of the paper with the color on top of it. But when you have an off-white and you print it...

Are we talking about these (or the corresponding “innie” version)? If so, they still fit the standard PPCB top jack drill template – you just need to make the hole for the power jack about 13 mm. But you don’t need to move the input and output jack at all – everything still fits, even if you...

Chastity Preamp? And with that, I am bereft of suggestions.

I would probably go with the Spacialist. It looks to just have a ton of different usable bread -and-butter reverbs. Just based on my experience with the Spirit Echo and certain other EQD pedals, I personally - for me – would shy away from a lot of the other reverbs in the shop because they...

I don’t. It didn’t turn out quite the way I expected (entirely my own fault for not knowing everything about what I was building). Specifically, I should’ve chosen a different reverb other than the Spirit Echo. On the Keeley, I believe it’s a fairly normal chamber reverb – however, the Spirit...

I ask because the font appears to be a different color than the rat graphic - are the control labels, etc. handwritten? If so, geez, I'm in awe.

Well, dammit, I’m an idiot because I got the two confused but I’m gonna leave that post because the world needs more proof that I’m an idiot sometimes. How about these? 1. PPCB Unison Double Tracker and PPCB Spirit Echo, to try to replicate the double tracker and reverb functionalities of the...

Two I have done are: XC Phase (Phase 90) and MadBean Current Lover (Electric Mistress Flanger) and Because I wanted the complete package of a Boss CE-1, including the preamp, but could not find a a board that had everything, I combined the PPCB Celsius Preamp (the CE-1 preamp) with a...

I’d appreciate any guidance/tips on properly adjusting a wah pedal. I’ve seen a fair number of comments here that adjusting the travel of the pot in relation to the rack is essential for getting the best tone and performance, but I don’t believe I’ve actually seen any specific tips. Of course...

I just finished building this and am really enjoying it, much more than my previous Tearjerker build. Definitely more subtle, vocal, and smooth than a Crybaby, and that better suits my style of playing. Thank you @Guardians of the analog! The only deviationI made was to use a Trimmit with a...

Well, I had never owned (or even played) a Rat. But given that it is such a foundational effect that had been used by artists I admire (including some unexpected candidates, like Peter Buck from REM) I decided I needed to build one. However, my journey to owning a Rat was fraught. Given that I...

😆 at nyself. Fair enough, thank you. M

Good call! I completely brain-farted and didn’t even think about looking for YouTube demos. This video, right about 4:45 in, shows the demo guy being pretty surprised by the volume jump when he hits the switch. Thank you! I’ll mark this (non-) troubleshooting thread solved. M

OK, cause I’m currently right in the middle of trying to decide if I I’m going to need to start a full troubleshooting thread or instead write a build report (at any given time, on every build, it’s always 50–50) - I’m wondering if maybe what I’m experiencing as an issue isn’t an issue at all...

So this is what “winning” feels like.

Since I tend to be more of a “modulation guy“ than a connoisseur of things like different fuzzes and drives, I’d always had a soft spot in my heart for the sound of a gentle envelope filter. I previously built the Waddle Box (my Quackpot build report) but, after living with it a while, I just...

Thanks – with respect to the pots, I kind of came up with my own solution which I detailed here in this thread. That will still be useful for things like testing builds but I’ve since purchased a Protoboard (which uses a somewhat similar system for pots) for breadboarding and I just need to get...

See, @Robert? Nice and tidy. You wouldn’t even know a jumper was there unless I told you.
