So the key input is like a sidechain thing? Like, you’d somehow split your guitar signal before it goes into any of your pedals and send it to the key input...so that the muzzle is reacting to a pure guitar signal beforr it hits distortion pedals etc?

Thank you Giovanni that was my suspicion but I had to ask!

Guys I’m having a hard time finding the 560nF and 150nF ceramic disk capacitors on either Mouser or Digikey...am I missing something? And yes I looked under their converted uF values as well. And a related newb question: do they HAVE to be ceramic disk or can I go with box film caps just as...

Yeah I was wondering that myself—you are correct about the offboard thing. That is allowing me to mount this sucker in a 2RU housing with other pedals which you’ve probably devined from my other build posts. But the six little cable extendo wires are definitely “apples-to-apples”...no crossed...

Been doing some YouTube listening, and for what all that is worth I think Son of Ben is definitely closest to what I'm after. I'm definitely a fan of FET based clipping...I feel like the whole diode thing can be overrated.

you guys RÖKK!

I see what you mean now! But yeah if @PedalPCB can confirm that the three-way on/on/on switch I purchased is the right kind, I'm not sure what's next other than just de-soldering/re-soldering another switch to make sure it's not a bad part or bad soldering. Regardless it sounds killer, but...

Well, @PedalPCB, regarding the toggle, this is actually the second time I’ve been through the on-on-on switch issue on this forum. See this thread... https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/can-someone-demystify-“type-1”-versus-“type-2”-dpdt-switches-for-me.5385/#post-44619 ...and as a result of...

Hey gang, I’m looking to start a new PedalPCB build to express something akin to what a lovely tube amp sounds like when it’s just over the edge of breakup. Semi-distorted if you will. Thought you all might have opinions. Before I get trolled, I do of course realize that “warm” is a VERY...

Hey @fig just to make sure: this is definitely true of the NEWEST iteration of this PCB? I only ask because of what is seen in my two photos where the pcb itself shows all cathodes facing the same direction, whilst by contrast, the downloadable build instructions match the older versions of the...

Just as a follow-up to the above, my second Dissaray build may have one small issue (there’s another thread about it) but it actually sounds amazing and functions perfectly otherwise. Still no clear idea what went wrong on this first one, but I guess there’s hope for me yet.

Hey so I just finished this build and it sounds KILLER: really, really happy with how this sounds. Top switch positions sounds perhaps a bit more “compressed and modern” albuit quieter with a smooth top end, middle position much like an Agry Charles with (lots) more gain on tap. That said...

@Chuck D. Bones here finally are some pics of my Angry Charles where I pulled it out of my 2RU enclosure and pulled all the cables out of the way so you can see the components, as well as the soldering work on the backside. Also some closeup pics of where the cables for the B100 treble pot leave...

Thank you for that clear and damned interesting explanation. Haven't had a chance to get in there to inspect things and take better pics yet, but will do so very soon.

Chuck can you explain the term "stray coupling" to me? Not sure I get what that means. As to your other question, yes the treble seems to increase for the first 90% although it seems less of an aggresive increase in treble than I'd expect. But yes you do hear the treble gradually increase and...

Good question...well, the before/after signal chain is actually NOTHING, technically-speaking: As-mentioned I have this housed in an 2RU enclosure with other pedals (probably why you're asking), but they are all completely electronically independent from each other (aside from ground of...

I have a separate thread just started on my Angry Charles build trying to suss out one issue, but apart from that I had two general newb-ish questions for @PedalPCB on component choices: I own a "real" Angry Charlie, and I notice that while the PedalPCB Angry Charles spec's the 3mm red LEDs, my...

Hi Gang, So I just finished an Angry Charles build and it's generally great-sounding and really quiet, but I am having one weird issue: with the 100k treble pot, once I turn it up past about 90% of a full rotation, it basically "mutes" the whole circuit—everything just drops out and the red...

You know, I NEVER DID figure this out, even after following all the suggestions above. I'm basically chalking this one up as a total loss at this point. This Disarray was my very first PedalPCB build, and after this one, given all the stuff I've learned elsewhere on this message...

That was fast...yeah I was hoping that was the deal. Just thought I'd ask before I dug in there and did something stupid.
