    Son of Ben (Benson Preamp) Modifications Thread

    So, if one wanted to achieve this, how exactly would it need to be wired up? I have extra switches and would love to have the selectable caps, but I’m fairly new to this and adding a switch to on-board components is slightly above my pay grade right now. Any help in wiring and how-to would be...

    Lytt Effects 1984 UPDATE (Informant - DRV)

    It’s certainly a cool way to make the graphics, especially once a clear coat is applied over top. I like the raised look it gives when it’s finished. The only downside is that working with the transfer tape on more intricate parts is a hassle, especially the text. Plus, the text at the size it...

    Lytt Effects 1984 UPDATE (Informant - DRV)

    Thank you! And yes, design is vinyl. For my initial “prototype” builds, I’m just spray painting the enclosures, using a Cricut to make the vinyl decals, and then spraying a few coats of enamel to protect it. It works, but I’ll be building units in hopes of selling, so I’ll be doing more legit...

    Lytt Effects 1984 UPDATE (Informant - DRV)

    Third build of the bunch that I’m doing. This one went well from start to finish, and I added in the buffer/TB switch board. So far I’m 3/3 on pedals working right out of the gate, so I’m feeling good! I nailed down my workflow, wiring, and have all my parts organized now, so this one went much...

    These two brilliant forces combined will bring to us all the Lytt Effects Dead Bolt:

    Super 64

    Hahah I love it. This whole Tacobolt thing is out of control. And thank you, I do like the simplicity of just the bolts. I may leave em, but also think it’d be funny to tie it into the Superbolt being dead somehow. I’ll think of something.

    Super 64

    Just in time for the discontinuation of the Superbolt, I bring to you the: Lytt Effects Lyttning Bolt Still figuring out graphics for this one, and nailing down a name, but I’ll get there soon enough. This was my second build in a little over two weeks, and third all time. The first was a kit...

    PedalPCB Buffer Switch Breakout Board With Informant (DRV)

    Nvm, I am in fact a novice. It doesn’t matter either way, ground is ground, just need it all to be grounded. Once I thought about it a bit more, it clicked. Hooray!

    PedalPCB Buffer Switch Breakout Board With Informant (DRV)

    Ok, quick question. I have a 3PDT breakout board that has the on-board buffer on/off switch found here. First question: is this compatible with the Informant (1981 DRV) pcb, and second: do the grounds from the jacks go to the ground pads on the breakout board, or do the grounds from the in/out...

    Trim Pot Values: I made a whoopsie

    Hey all, I did some digging but didn’t find anything that addressed what I need help with. I’m in the middle of a build of the Super 64 (JHS Superbolt), which has three J201 transistors along with three trim pots. Two of the trim pots on the parts list are listed at 100K, while the third is...

    Capacitor Sourcing in 2024

    I hear a lot about “in the audio path” stuff, especially when it comes to MLCCs and electros/tantalums. I’m starting to learn schematics and how to read them, but I’m curious if there’s a general rule that can be followed here, or any tricks to knowing what is and isn’t in the audio path by...

    Capacitor Sourcing in 2024

    Thank you all for the input, it’s greatly appreciated. It seems that Tayda is a fine source, even for Tantalum and Electrolytic, as selection has improved. I think an interesting practice would be to complete two builds with closely matched components from the ends of the spectrum. IE: one with...

    Missing Build Docs / Schematics

    Any update on the build docs for the Pro-10 Dual Overdrive?

    Capacitor Sourcing in 2024

    Ok, folks, I'm new here, so bear with me. I have taken a dive into the deep end of the pedal building pool, and I am about to plunge into building ~10 different pedals (all overdrives). Most of the PCBs will be from this here site, and while this isn't my first foray into pedal building, it will...
