After populating everything, biasing all jfets to 9V, and testing outside of an enclosure... I too also felt the pedal was a little week in gain and overall dB. I tried 3 different J201 (measuring a little higher on my cheap meter) and I could get any of them biased to 9V. Swapped out with 3...

I genuinely gave effort in searching previous posts, but could not find any without being further confused. I have a customer asking for "soft bypass" switches in his requested pedal. I am not sure which relay board I need or which switch either. Other searching tells me to use "momentary...

I ended up using an orange diffused LED with the 5516 (recommended for the Pendulum). I covered it with electrical tape and it sounds fantastic not even being boxed up. Now I can sell two pedals and replace it with this one! Thanks for all of the wisdom folks.

It's been probably 4-5 years, but for what it's worth... I had the darnedest time with my Luna build. Ended up having to take it to a pedal wizard friend of mine and he tested and ended up using a different vactrol and something else. Sounds great, but I have no idea what he used. That being...

I did not. Makes sense that LDR has to be test in the dark. Thanks.

Good stuff! Good to know. Yes, gain is all the way up. I’ll box it up and give it a go. Thanks.

Greetings. I just finished wiring up (not boxed yet) the Sproing Deluxe circuit. Reverb side sounds great! However, when I engage the tremolo side, there is a noticeable drop in dB and little to no perceived LFO (or trem effect). I looked at the circuit posted by another successful builder...

I hear you, and agree. I figured the Thorpy pedals were out, and also read some folks run their reverb and delay pedals at higher voltages, and like it. Thanks for the reply. My impatience led me to use a splitter (the 3rd on this board) and the isolation noise wasn’t bad at all. I guess problem...

Evening, I only have (2) 18V outlets left on my CS12 - and I would prefer not to use another Y-splitter. Can I safely run any of the following circuits at 18V? (I've added notes on my thoughts) Pyrocumulus (ThorpyFX Fallout Cloud) - ThorpyFX website says their pedals are designed to be run at...

Looks great! What drill template did you use? Thanks

Just want to say thanks again for this recommendation. This took care of the pop and the pedal is fully functional. I also applied this method to other problematic "poppers" (PCB and Vero) - so they are sounding great as well. Much appreciated.

Much more tolerable... This pedal will be part of my base tone - and I think I can get away with the minimal pop. Thank you.

Will do. When I first looked at the image on my phone I thought, dang... that's clean. Seeing it on my computer... photoshop?

Awesome! Which draws less current, super bright or ultra bright? Are we talking doubling the value of CLR or even do something huge like 50k?

This is great!! How would I use this with a PPCB board? They have the standard 4 pads at the bottom and the 2 pads for LED?

That’s what I was thinking and saw that it was already film and 1uF.

When I took out the LED, the pop went away... therefore I proceeded to swap colors. First Ultra bright blue, then ultra bright red, then red diffused. They all popped the same. I even tried the Muzique method mentioned by tying in a 390R resistor and a 33uF cap to ground. It still...

I'm using a simple Hotone solid state job on my work bench. It usually translates the same when using my HX Stomp or my little 6W 5F1 build I made.

Definitely looking into that. Thank you.

great stuff! I think I'll start here and simply swap LED colors.
