I echo the welcome... We are here to help. This is absolutely the best pedal PCB troubleshooting community anywhere. Take zero offense to the following. What the heck is "being very careful to only use minimum solder???" never heard that one before... I put on PLENTY of solder with a good two...

Screw you all for not catching that and calling me on it...

I had a girlfriend in high school who's father once told here that thunder was the sound of clouds bumping into each other. She never thought about it again because it sufficed. I started building pedals on vero board and got used to adding current limiting resistors at the point of connection...

Good luck with trying that... They're M12 Stainless Steel Spring Serrated Lock Washers. Quite teh mouthful.

I've got about 10 more all etched, boards complete, pots in stock, that will be rolling out over the next couple of weeks. The Greater Barrington Pedal Society is meeting tomorrow night however at the pub down the street tomorrow night though so won't get much done tomorrow.

Thanks. I must admit that the lighting and tweaking I do in Lightroom makes the contrast and detail jump out and they look sexier in photos than in real life. I, of course still feel like there is a lot of room for improvement.

Just finished this Box 66 last night. I don't have a super wide selection of PNPs but this 2N309 + 2N508 combo sounds pretty sweet with the bias set just on the crunchy side.

Wait for Nathan to chime in, but you might be ok. I messed one up on a similar board but never powered it up. I ended up melting the hell out of the plastic part of header pins so I just made my own rig. I’m sure you can get a couple of sushi switch boards from Nathan for next to nothing.

Eventually I need a tube amp…

Thanks, makes me feel better about the absurd amount of time it takes... This one was actually from the beta version of Adobe Firefly which is still pretty low res but it still works really well.

It may not be relevant in any way, but I thought the first kliché mini special edition I built was messed up but I finally realized that I just had the pots labeled incorrectly. I tend to agree with Jamie, sounds like a buffer issue.

Thanks for the tip. Now that I know, it's super easy to understand. You're right, I was just lucky that it was basically in the sweet spot the way I built it. Made one minor tweak and sounds even better.

biggest tip: Caustic Soda! I can't express how much happier I am with caustic soda etching over the other options. I pretty much follow the instructions here but I use toner transfer paper rather than glossy photo paper. https://diy-guitar-effects.tumblr.com/etching There are two key things...

You had me at "Thunder Chicken"

Repost this in teh following thread: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/absurd-ideas-share-your-stupid-schemings.13698/ I like the idea.

I built this for a friend of my son's. I thought I didn't like choruses but luckily I bought an extra board because this thing is awesome. The Blend and Lag knobs just take this pedal in to a whole other territory of fun. I haven't figured out what the internal trimmer is trimming but it...

Prunes and fiber. And drink lots of water...
