Thank you @BuddytheReow and @Pedal2222 for the soldering technique tips that was magnificent.

About 653 degrees fehrenheit, then...that’s about what I’ve been doing. So @Pedal2222 there’s no risk at that temperature, then, of damaging components? I only ask as I did recently notice upon DE-soldering some components from a PCB how freakin’ HOT those little 6mm long resistors would get...

Really I put the wrong value in at R12? Jeez, yep: no question you’re right just by looking at my photo: orange-orange-black-black-brown. 330r! Let’s see what happens when I swap it out!

@music6000 this is awesome, thank you. I get it now. @PedalPCB you were asking me in my build thread where to source these? See music6000’s link above if you were asking for yourself!

I need to source an DPDT on-on-on mini toggle for my Disarray Distortion build, which “has to be a TYPE 2”. I’ve searched exhaustively on the interwebz and 99.9% of everyone selling them does not even specify this “type”. Can someone explain to me what the difference is and how I can suss it...

I think I was careful with my LED polarity but I’ll double check. Regardless, sounds like I need to hunt down those type 2 switches.

I just went back and made nice tidy little solder cones on every single hole...no luck, same issues. any other thoughts? This is my first build and I’m about ready to smash it with a hammer.

Hey @Pedal2222 I just found this thread by searching the forum a bit for opinions on what the proper soldering iron temperature IS. I was wondering if you could expand on the above a bit and tell us what temp you set your iron at?

Hey @Dan0h I was being a bit tepid about leaving my soldering iron on any component for too long because my Weller soldering station didn't have a temp readout and I was scared of burning up my resistors etc by guessing at temp and getting things too hot. But yeah: before you even mentioned...

@PedalPCB thanks for all the help, here's a few comments back atcha, still lettered accordingly: C.) Hmmm not sure how I missed those at Tayda but I'm a newb so my search/spec'ing skillz are still really questionable. E.) I got my toggles at Tayda along with the rest of it before Is tarted...I...

So @Barry I was excited, but that didn’t work 🤬 still getting nothing but a crazy solid tone, and as soon as I turn on the circuit, I notice both red LEDs (but not the blue) light up full brightness like they’re seeing massive clipping. Also noticing that if I rotate the B100k pot, it goes from...

Oooohhh the little three-way switch! I COMPLETELY forgot about that feature/component! THOUGHT that area seemed fishy! Thanks Barry I’ll wire that sucker in and see what happens. So the way this pedal achieves different “tightness” settings on the crunch is by selecting between LEDs, zeners, or...

Only ten attachments allowed per-post, so here's the other five photos relating to my callouts in the original post...

Hi Folks, So I've built stompboxes from kits before, but they were the kind like the BYOC kits where all the components are included, and the instructions a bit more step-by-step. This is the first time I've done all that on my own: the Disarray "Reloaded" PCB. Just for the record, when you see...

You guys f$&@ing ROKKK thank you!

Hey gang—I posted this over in "troubleshooting" forum and (uncharacteristically for this board) received ZERO replies. But it may be because that was just the wrong forum choice on my end, since in hindsight this is not a PedalPCB build specifically? So let me try this question again on this...

Hey all, this connector (see photos below) connects the two stacked PCB boards on my FreeTheTone PA-10G graphic EQ pedal. I need to move the two boards farther apart, as I’m shifting its guts into a 2RU rack housing. So I need a little ribbon adaptor with male/female connectors to do the trick...

SO. AWESOME. If I see any steals come up I’ll heads-up you.

Yes finally and thanks for waiting. The pics below are of the one I damaged and am not using, but I kinda soldered it all back together purely so you guys can see how it looks without all my crazy extendo wires all over it. I tried to get in there and get pics of the cap and resistor values...

LOL @PedalPCB it’s pretty “destroyed” already but in a kind of do-no-harm fashion: I ACTUALLY destroyed one of these pedals attempting to desolder the jacks and 3PTD to get it ready to remount in a rack enclosure. So on the second one I actually just made 1/4” TS “jumpers” to get me to the...
