The tilted caps help the filters roll the unwanted electrons away better so they're more responsive.

You don't have to wire them in your schematic drawing order. Electrically, the nodes all see the same voltage. So, you could have a trace that goes 10k -> lug 1 of tone -> anode of 4148 -> cathode of 1n34a ... and be fine.

It's all part of the process... Make sure to order a handful of ICs instead of just one or two. I typically get 10 to 20 op amps each time I do an order.

First, awesome pedal as always! The stacked boards are a ton of fun to build imo. I'm a huge fan of Fairfield Circuitry pedals and agree that sometimes you can get some unpleasant surprises (see what I did there) from them. They do remind me of the best Dwarfcraft Devices pedals in that way...

Both your op amps were installed upside down on the first picture. A notch in the center of one edge or dot closer to one side than the other typically denotes where pin 1 of the IC is located. On the PCB for an IC, the silk screen image will typically have the notch and pin 1 will be a...

Yes, we all know that a DCA55 is grouped with food and shelter in the Physiological tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of Need.

I used the pot as a rheostat in this design and that is how I've normally done it. I've tried setting up the starve pot as a voltage divider with the third lug going through a resistor to ground to at least have some voltage going through and haven't had the results I was looking for with the...

I'm with you on FuzzDog designs, I like that he's got some different designs than here, but I really don't like the side jacks either so I end up adjusting everything like you.

Hello surface mount devices and JLPCBA. ;)

I've been holding off on anything for Tayda now thanks to the tariffs. In the last few orders I've done here's how it has broken down for me: Potentiometers and some ICs: Stomp Box Parts Most any IC or transistor: Mouser Most through hole parts: Tayda is still cheaper when including tariffs and...

Ok, cool. Totally misremembered the build doc.

It seems to be....

Any reason you didn't solder the s-sn connections on the right?

What transistor did you use? It looks like you installed it backwards compared to the silkscreen. I just built this same pcb to the gc-1 spec last weekend and it worked with no issues.

You should really go ahead and make the jump to KiCad. I did and it is so much better.

Are you going to use the exp jacks? If not, you need to solder the T-TN, R-RN, and S-SN holes as shown in the build doc.

My guess would be wiring. I just built this about a month ago and haven't boxed it at all but it's definitely quiet with no hiss. Could you post some images of the front and back of the board?

The Nordland MT-11 is a boutique take on the MT-10 which is really great.. of course, coming from the mind that made the ODR, it's probably to be expected.

I won't say I'm great at PCB design, but I try to keep all power related things in one area of the PCB and then try not to have voltage and signal traces get too close to one another. I'd probably re layout your board trying to keep the power section away from the rest of your signal section.
