It's been observed by some kind and distinguished forum members that there is no need for lots of circuits in highschool jazz bands. That's most certainly true, but surely there are a few doom/stoner metal players hidden among every highschool jazz bands. Probably a secret team of enlighted...

I have read on this forum that a LP/HP filter is very useful to shape the tone and tame the low end. I tried the Frequency Interchange Filter from PPCB, and it does something very different than all the Bass EQ i ever tried, including Tech21 VT bass preamp and its active 3 bands EQ. It's really...

I am not sure that i fully understand this sentence. Do you mean that you deserve to be deprived of plastic washers for ever ? But why would you punish these poor and lonely 3PDT, and ruin your enclosures's good looks for something they didn't do ? I think a no-plastic-washer life sentence...

I've read that 9mm pots are less reliable, with a shorter longevity : https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=128608.msg1239624#msg1239624 I am absolutely neutral on this matter, and it seems to me that Mark Hammer have better arguments than the pro-9mm forum members.

Nice build ! I sold my Dandy Horse because i felt a bit overwhelmed with too much modulations circuits. But it was special... I miss it a little bit, but i hesitate to build it again. It became much more expensive compared to 2 years ago. On musikding, the kit was sold around 80 euros back...

I salvaged it from an other device. You can use some old power cable for computers or some broken patch cable for guitar effects, etc. Any thick cable is potentially shielded, and can be interesting for your application. If you can access a big pile of electronic junk somewhere, cut some cables...

Did you use shielded wires for the IN and OUT jacks ? I had a similar issue, Feral Feline told me to use shielded wires and to keep them away from the pcb, taped along the enclosure sides. I salvaged the cable from a broken power supply, and it worked. A buffer in front of this effect could...

+1000 experience points for the plastic washer, elegantly located on the outside of the enclosure. This artwork is really interesting. You have been promoted to Lvl. 2, congratulations !

This happened to me recently too. It was a short on the 3PDT breakout board. A tiny piece of wire missed the hole, and was shorting the next pad.

I would put more solder on the 3PDT pads. Do it quickly and let it cool off before moving to the next pad, to avoid overheating and melting the 3PDT, they are quite sensitive. What about the pots insulation, preventing them from shorting the pcb soldering pads ? Are we sure these pieces of tape...

I think you need to find the correct pad on the 3PDT, one that is connected to ground (or 9V+LEDR) when the circuit is turned on, and disconnected when turned off. The led needs both 9V (with led resistor) and ground to light up. If at least one of them is disconnected when the circuit is...

Hello, welcome ! Dear fellow forumite, looks like a few of these soldering pads are missing some solder. Let's remember that good soldering joints are important, so that the circuit can work correctly. A clean tip and the iron temperature are also important to be able to make a good soldering...

There are lots of DS-1 available on the used market for cheap (around 40 euros/$). Many are through-hole versions (made before 2016), but it's better to ask the seller directly, or look at pictures of the inside before buying. It's very fun to modify them, there are lots of interesting and...

I understand that this amp goes to 111, that's very impressive, to say the least. But is there a Fat switch ? On the Blues Junior, when the Fat switch is engaged, i think it's quite fair to say that we can easily add a 0 to all the volume numbers, right ? With the Fat switch engaged, this amp...

Exactly, but I play on a Blues Junior III. This one goes to 12. There is also an amp that can only go to 11, with the price tag still on it, but i am not supposed to play with it. It's not meant to be used. We shouldn't even talk about it...

That's right, but when your amp's level is all the way up and your guitar is on 11, where can you go from there ? If we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do ?

Indeed, this Plastic Washer looks very comfortable. I am sure your 3PDT is grateful to you for this kind gesture. I'd humbly suggest to add another Plastic Washer inside the enclosure. It will help dampen the activation shock even more, according to serious scientific evidence.

I guess that's because we just have to click once on the dark mode icon, and it's recorded as default setting in our account's parameters, when we are logged in.
