    Tayda Drill Tool Down?

    I ordered 5 boxes on Wednesday and all are drilled and the black ones are painted already.

    NSFW What's up with the buffers in cornish designs?

    You must have that all wrong! It is not muddy and congested, it is warm and don't forget the buffer is Class A!

    Missing Build Docs / Schematics

    Is there some specific question you have? I built one without any issues, although can't help you with the schematic.

    Idiot proof Tayda UV templates?

    You can just select the circle and change the diameter in the top bar, so you don't need different ones for different sized pots IMO. But a template per knob layout could be useful.

    Idiot proof Tayda UV templates?

    Here's what I do. 1.) Make circles the size of your knobs. So if you're using 19mm diameter knobs, make 19mm diameter circles. 2.) Align them to the center both horizontally and vertically first so they're right at the center. 3.) Use the move tool to move them to the exact locations of the...

    Tayda Drill Tool Down?

    Looks like the site is under maintenance now, wonder if it's related. Just when I made a big push to finish this batch of enclosure graphics too. Well, it probably (hopefully) won't be for long.

    Sheepylove FigBuster

    Nice build and I like the look of it overall (except for the white washer). Just imagine how much nicer it would look with a metal washer! FWIW scrubbing the surface with a sandpaper (250 grit or so) works wonders for the "blind you from directly ahead" effect, but it does take a minute or two...

    Tayda Drill Tool Down?

    In practice incognito would just reset cookies for that incognito session (and not save anything), so chances are it wouldn't change things. But might as well try. It might also disable some addons depending on how they are configured, so that could also help with some issues.

    Tayda Drill Tool Down?

    You can always try removing cookies to see if it fixes issues with websites. Or try the incognito/private mode which does the same trick, essentially. It helps surprisingly often.

    I'm happy to report that replacing Q2 fixed the issue and it now sounds like it should! Thanks everyone for your help!

    Fuzz “blend” advice

    Would a SPDT switch on out 1 and 2 and output from the middle lug then be a phase flip switch with that schematic?

    I tried it just now, no issues.

    My first build. Low tide. Made a mistake. Is this redeemable?

    For me, even with the pad switch on, at full volume it's louder than bypass. Just to reiterate, you don't have both pad and boost enabled, right? The direction of your DIP switch doesn't matter, just look at which side says "on". I would try with both dip switches set to off first, and then just...

    My first build. Low tide. Made a mistake. Is this redeemable?

    Congratulations on getting it running! Having to desolder an IC, not to mention having such a complex build as your first build, that really is something to be proud of! The controls aren't too bad once you get your head around them. Here are more in-depth explanations of the trimpots and how...

    My first build. Low tide. Made a mistake. Is this redeemable?

    Yeah definitely just take the J201 from the slot and put it in the 2SK208 slot. AFAIK they're interchangeable (at least in this case) so it's fine. Well, at least the 2SK208 can be replaced with a J201, I hope the J201 can also be replaced with the 2SK208 then? You can leave the extra socket in...

    SOLVED Decadence Preamp - Unity Gain?

    I suggest you start your own troubleshooting thread. Read the stickied threads first, we need good quality pictures of the board to spot any issues with soldering or incorrect components (or orientations). Also mention if you subbed any components for others. Also, which 33k resistor did you...

    DEMO Clandestine Preamp 2.0 (Chase Tone Secret Preamp) - Demo added

    What about an UV LED, clandestine meeting graphic and embossed gloss tentacles and/or other eldritch appendages? The UV LED is pretty cool because at least to my eyes it does have that "halo" thing going on to the naked eye, it's not just an artifact in the image. That's a great idea, you...

    Couple of Protoboard Questions

    I think the best thing here is to understand how potentiometers work. So there is a resistive track inside the pot. For a 1M pot, it's 1M ohms from lug 1 to 3. Lug 2 moves along that track as you rotate the potentiometer, so for example measuring from lug 1 to lug 2, the resistivity changes from...

    My first build. Low tide. Made a mistake. Is this redeemable?

    Footswitch wiring looks correct to me (https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/LowTide-PedalPCB.pdf for reference for others who want to check it), but the Low Tide is true bypass so you should at least get a signal when the pedal is bypassed even if the circuit itself is messed up. I would suspect...

    SOLVED Broken Distortron troubleshooting

    That's possible, I didn't realize diodes could come in SOT-23 (or are they double diodes maybe then?), it's marked Z1 so could be Zener.
