Just finished my first successful PedalPCB build, and ye Dwarven Hammer sounds mighty indeed. One MINOR glitch... The title says it all: full counterclockwise on the pots=max overdrive, max volume, max treble boost. The pots on my version are not the PCB-mount kind, they're the "freestanding"...

yep that worked.

THAT'S TOO EASY! So if I do that, and still wire the LED into the proscribed holes at the rear of the PCB, the LED will still light up properly, right? Only it will ALWAYS be lit up...

Hi folks, So I’m in the midst of a project involving the mounting of a few different pedalpcb circuits into a 2U rackmount enclosure. Whether they are in or out of my signal chain will be handled entirely by my voodoo labs hex switcher. This being the case, any kind of 3PDT switch really...

Just to follow up/close out this thread with a win, the right move ended up being to purchase the cable I needed as a custom order directly from the SamTec site. This is my guy... https://www.samtec.com/products/fmtp-09-t-08.77-01-f-n

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!
