Likely just one of the many reasons modulation pedals were always significantly more expensive than dirt pedals (at least back in the 70s and 80s- before the whole “boutique” thing skewed prices of everything)

I got 2 notifications over the past 2 days (yes I always seem to mess up on an order and have to do a follow up). Neither requested this documentation though.

Is it possible that you got the LED leads reversed?

In first with this request (although no huge rush, only ordered the board today, but still like to order/pick parts in advance) Chili Dog Overdrive - drill template, schematics, BOM Thanks in advance!

How could anyone forget Cliff!? https://tenor.com/bm3P0.gif Oh. Different Cliff!

Not sure where to get in large quantities, but here are 2 sources (never bought from either, but they’ve been around long time and I’ve never heard bad about them)...

I couldn’t agree more! I’ve seen Switchcraft fail before, so I always pre-tin and check before using. But I’ll say the failure rate is pretty low from my experience. Now these knockoffs I tried, all 6 failed!

I’ve seen some of these that were so bad the switch failed after the first use. Since then I only ever use Switchcraft brand… but the cost is so high that I only use them when I absolutely need to.

DC on the output leads me to think some lead shorting to output or a shorted blocking cap Also curious from the pic- the big electrolytic cap close to the speed knob- is that just the board I’m seeing around it or did that cap leak out the magic schmoo that makes it work?

I would think a compressor would be next to useless with the extremely short decay of a banjo. octave could be cool, though!

Maybe try reflowing the solder, especially around those components. Sounds like you are touching them they are making contact, but when not they don’t.

How low is your output? Are you able to at least get unity gain (same volume as bypassed)

Especially if you are spraying nitro lacquer. Not fun.

I like how you are working through this. Thank you for sharing the steps

Learn how to tig weld and create some art with it and other scrap enclosures/parts

I believe overtigtning a switch where the internal nut threaded a touch closer to the switch body caused enough flex to be the root cause of a board failure I had a few months back.

Nice!

I’d think that would be a whole different can of worms- traditionally midi switchers would be only triggered by the program change message. However with modern processors and their “snapshot” (or “scene”) functionality, they use CC messages to trigger a series of setting changes within the same...

Ahh so the page has an error. No big deal really curious. Connection (someone correct me if I’m wrong): Rush had a song: “ByTor and the Snow Dog” so Snow Dog = “chilly” (as in cold) dog, which sounds like “Chili dog” the food.

Nice! Took me a few to figure out the name “chili dog” fwiw lol Dumb question- your pics look like a 1590bb or bb2, and the project page says 125b. Misprint on the page, or your Proto larger than life? Yes I’m that obsessed in that I went to the project page like 20 times now!
