    Isosceles Boost (TC Integrated Preamp + Fortin 33 + Fortin Grind)

    Smooth build for the most part, the board seems needlessly cramped though. Had to mount the 220n cap upside down due to clearance issues and could not get the charge pump socket completely flush with the board because of the neighboring diodes. Also, gotta be careful around the electrolytics...

    PPCB Complex OD Footswitchable mode (?)

    There's an onboard CLR already (R107), so no resistor needed between switch and PCB, other than that yes to everything :D

    PPCB Complex OD Footswitchable mode (?)

    First of all check out this image: Now for the rest. You can use common anode LED without issues. Just connect the anode leg of the LED (middle and longest leg) to the A pad on the PCB and wire the two cathode legs (the shorter outside legs) to the outside lugs of the switch (1 and 3 for...

    What are those spacers under the foot switches?

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    Only on the 60 and 100, not the little 25.

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    Yes, that must be it. The Engl Powerball has a similar switch and in that schematic it's depicted like above, so probably just an error in the Fireball schematic. Thanks, guys!

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    I assumed if you short circuit a capacitor or a resistor it is essentially out of the circuit because electricity will take the path of least resistance and since the resistance of a bare wire is near 0 that's where current will flow. Then I was looking at the schematic for the Engl Fireball and...

    Opamps for Dummies - part 2

    I'm having trouble understanding what's going on with the level and master controls of the Sunn Beta Lead. It looks like inverting op amps to me. What is the purpose of the diodes? And what are the 150R resistor and 2.2u capacitor doing as well as the 47p cap in the master control? Also, since...

    Utility vero to help find CLR value for indicator LED

    Thought I'd post this here in case someone finds it useful. I know I do. It's pretty much just two 20K pots each in series with a 1K resistor to prevent burning out LEDs. Can be used to eyeball indicator LED brightness and find the corresponding CLR value. Just turn the pot until it looks right...

    PPCB Complex OD Footswitchable mode (?)

    That is a bummer about the ICs. Where did you get them? You can wire the switch without the LED, just the wires from the PCB.

    DEMO Sabbath Drive, Tweed Sound and Marble Drive

    Digging that Sabbath. I may have to put one in my next order. Seems noisy though. You think shortening the leads on the JFET adapter boards would help or is it just inherent to the circuit? Maybe someone else can chime in who built one?

    50 watt Steel String Singer build diary (in progress)

    Incredibly tidy! Looking very nice.

    Albert Hoffman's Hearing Aid

    The vibrations from the googly eye add a unique layer of top end sizzle to the signal and appear to extend the bass frequencies into the negative numbers. I must tell my friends over at TGP. Tone is in the googly eyes!

    It's beautiful 🥲

    Aion FX Helios (ProCo RAT with clipping switch and sweep control)

    Well, what can I say. It sounds like a rat, looks like a rat, it's a rat! Similar to the PPCB Triad Distortion it's got a switch to toggle between different clipping diode arrangements. Left is one 1N914 in each direction, middle is one red LED in each direction, right is a 1N914 one way and a...

    Median Compressor

    If you have masochistic tendencies you could try soldering some tiny leads to the pins and and hack it 🙃

    Median Compressor

    Maybe a suggestion to @PedalPCB to update the adapter boards to be able to use them with the narrower pitch MSOP8 as well like these double sided ones: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006636105198.html

    PPCB Complex OD Footswitchable mode (?)

    If we're talking about the structure switch, this should work: Regular on/off footswitch is wired as usual.
