Physical size is indeed all it really boils down to. Film or box caps don't really matter because they all have voltage ratings way higher than what is running through your pedal. The exception to this rule is when sourcing your polarized electrolytic caps. They are the larger tubular ones. They...

One other thing of note that I recently noticed is Tayda's mini DC jacks (Lumberg look-alikes) I installed on pedals from last year are starting to fail. I've replaced them all with never-fail real Lumberg's. They look exactly alike, however it's the way they feel when pushing the male jack...

Yeah, I agree with everything said so far. Especially this Granted I'm no expert and I only have a hand drill, but I still run into the occasional wandering bit. I use an awl and hammer to punch my starter holes. The only thing holding me back from getting an actual center punch tool is that...

Thanks folks! Noted. Definitely going to experiment with this one. Huh, I didn't even think of that. Super cool!

This is a really unique and cool sounding pedal. It's like a wah but without the treadle. You can manually dial in the cutoff frequency and bandwidth filter into a fixed position for some really interesting sounds...honk, skawk, booming, nasal, and everything in-between. In addition to the...

Also agree. A lot of us have been burned by buying fakes from eBay. I'll happily pay a bit more and buy a matched set from Smallbear (btw, still cheaper than that Reverb link). They have all kinds of choices for germaniums, matched, tested lots, untested lots, etc... I've built lots of picky GE...

Top notch! Look forward to seeing more!

Excellent design choices! Glad it came together smoothly.

I sold it ages ago and forgot already, but zooming in close I can see two leads poking through R2's pads so I'm gonna have to say yes

I think it looks great! One of my top favorite fuzz pedals from here. Too bad about those chicken head knobs and the beak getting in the way. For knobs, my personal favorites are called contempo or brutalist from Smallbear or Love My Switches respectively. They are really well made and have...

That's when IC sockets come in handy. Would definitely recommend for future builds. Also, are those isolated jacks? I'm pretty sure those are not ideal for these PCB's. You want ones that ground to the enclosure when tightened down. Like, they should have metal threaded parts. I use Lumberg KLBM...

Looks like your IC is soldered in with the tab facing down instead of up

edited the post for more accurate info on the Molex stuff

Thanks! They're Molex from Tayda. "Wafer Connector 2.54mm right angle" and "Housing Connector 2.54mm". You'll need the male and female of each pin amount: 2, 3, & 6 pin. You'll also need the "crimp terminal connectors" and the SKU on those is A-837 but the picture looks different than what I...

Thanks guys! Did a few tweaks to the dipswitches, trimpots, added a cable tie down for the LED wires, and calibrated the pot sweep. Then I re-uploaded the wiring photo with said adjustments because I'm a nut and like shooting outside for the lighting. I also roughly dialed it into classic...

Thanks! It's definitely versatile, that's for sure. Well, considering this is my first time playing a wah and I have no "sound" yet the first thing that comes to mind is "Moist"

Perfect, that's the stuff!

You're a saint. Thank you!

Thanks folks!

If anyone can shed some light on what parameters the dipswitches control or maybe like default settings for a Crybaby, McCoy, etc...please let me know. I'm totally clueless when it comes to wah's of the world. I mean, there's nothing wrong with blindly tuning it by ear, but knowledge is power...
