    Something like the Carbon Copy

    The TC Bucket Brigade Delay is so cheap, I did not think about building my own analog Delay.

    Retrospectives II - "Germanium Giant"

    Reverb for shoegazing!

    I love the Soft Focus. Its a patch on the Yamaha Fx500. Recently Catalinbread made a own pedal out of this. Unfortunately no clone pcb up to now, but youcan upvote on the Wish list.

    Professional vs amateur-ish in PCB design

    I appreciate your pride to make a decent product. This is what we call in German "Handwerkerehre" - pride/honour of a craftsman. But you had me at the word "forae" as a Latin scholar. It's not female but neutrum, so the plural of forum is fora.

    searching for components

    I bought sets of resistors, film caps, mlcc, elco caps, colored LEDs and shrink tubes. Other parts I get from banzai and musikding, since I am located in Germany.

    Are these pedals worth it?!?

    Anyone on the Julianna? Could have it cheap from a local musician.

    Professional vs amateur-ish in PCB design

    I rely on Björn Juhl, close the back lid and hope noone will open it again. Secret trick: No battery operation allowed. Does anyone else seal the back with black goop or something...😝

    Pastel Preamp

    My way to deal with such funny values is to measure my stash. In this case take the lowest reading of 39k resistors and call it a day....

    NBD - Frankenpeavey

    Nice Mongrel! Play it in good health. P.S. Never saw so much pickguard screws. You got them for a good price, right?

    Clean boost options

    EQD Arrows = PPCB Amentum is my favorite

    Good Gravy, These Ceramic Discs Are Garbage

    I am tending to use them in the future for my builds, but only after measuring their actual value. Most of them are in the pF region.

    Good Gravy, These Ceramic Discs Are Garbage

    You made me measure the cheapest set of ceramics i bought several years ago. Its a tiny plastic bag with tiny orange caps and super thin legs. The bag says 6.8nF. I measured 20 of them from 6.2 up 11.7nF, nearly all higher than 8nF. WTF?

    Is there a situation where electrolytic capacitors are necessary?

    First: Thank you for sharing the deep diving write up @mybud Second thought was that this would be great stuff for the Pedalpcb Wiki. @PedalPCB: But it shows an invalid ssl certificate.

    Modelers and analog pedals… do they really gel?

    Yeah, loudness is a big concern in smaller venues, even for the musicians. We had an guitarist who quit playing with a band because of his hearing. He did wear protections all the time but his doc promised him to get deaf when he is older.

    Modelers and analog pedals… do they really gel?

    Asking for a friend and client. He changed from a Marshall amp to a Blackstar Amped3. Good sounds, works well in rehersal situations and recording. He uses the power out to drive a monitor box and the xlr to the mixing console. But he had weird artefacts in live situation. The sound sometimes...

    Soul Vendor controls

    I meant taper. Try a A100k or a C100k

    Soul Vendor controls

    Just guessing: Sounds like both pots have wrong taper.

    Distortus maximus without eq part?

    Possible. I built a fuzz with a fixed resistor as fuzz control. If you have a factory pedal, you can find your setting and put resistors in. Or use trim pots which allow to change settings with a screw driver.

    Distortus maximus without eq part?

    As i understand it this pedal tries to sound like an amp. Without the amp tone controls it will sound different, even if the control are on a neutral setting. And a whole lot louder.
