time to get a breadboard. im serious, if you really want to get a quick tangible grasp on what to expect from your devices, pick a circuit, breadboard it, and see how you go. then when you find something doesn't sound (or measure) right or whatever, it's as easy pulling a resistor and plonking...

if they're NPN, build this https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/ungula/

yep. 2.2uf mlcc per advice about them resulting in a smoother sine LFO https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/caesar-toggle-no-shape-change.12963/post-143356 https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/walrus-julia-chorus-vibe.1429/post-59962

have you tried testing it outside of the enclosure? (ensuring no shorts etc.) perhaps the hot glue didn't quite prevail, and has allowed a small short somewhere idk.. might be worth starting a troubleshoot thread? well focused pictures and some fresh eyes on the build are usually a good way...

ahh that’s a bummer, how did you insulate the backside of the relay board? switch is this one: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/spst-momentary-soft-touch-short-shaft-push-button-stomp-foots-pedal-switch.html

i could but this build thread is getting hammered already

my first chorus build was a CE-2 on vero. i’ve never had an issue with how it sounds, and the soft switch relay bypass that was retrofitted made it even better. it’s been on my board for live use since it was built, but i knew eventually i was gonna have to build a caesar chorus and check it...

yep, same.

gosh that graphic is so cute. look at him!

hell yeah i gotta hear this. demo?

ayy now that’s what i’m talkin about 💪🏻💪🏻 well, with only x2 1M in parallel, that’s an easy 500k. close enough. tone circuit might be a bit of a PITA though haha

seems too easy though

that's the point. it's a contest

not sure if this has been done before: a circuit design contest where all values have to be made up of either 1, 10, 100, 1K, 1M etc. e.g. allowed values: 10p, 100p, 1n, 10n, 100n, 1u, 10u, 100u 1r, 10r, 100r, 1k, 10k, 100k, 1m, 10m same goes for pots --> 1k, 10k ,100k ,1m

heck yeah. that quad bias control. oof. gonna need a demo asap 🤙🏻

+1 same.

in general, i avoid PCBs that demand 9mm pots.

i'm pretty sure you've seen it already

i can see your point. but, have you ever had a set sockets fail on you? i used to love sockets and thought they were the bees knees, but since i’ve had a few of them fail (after repeated use, in similar testing scenarios) i kinda try and avoid them where possible. (because sockets will punish...

but once you have a circuit breadboarded, you can swap out and do whatever the hell you like with it. there's nothing you've described above that couldn't be done with a breadboard rig. the only benefit i can see with the socket scenario is that it's a bit more robust than throwing a breadboard...
