i had a vero layout for this printed and sitting in a folder for a while, but wasn’t sure when/if i was really gonna build it. so when PHB2025 got launched, i guess it was the push that got this build to happen sooner than i had planned. fortunately i had already ordered some 2N3903...

heck yeah. coolest graphics i’ve seen in a while. clean build too 👌🏻

so how did you come up with all of this if you can't draw a schematic?

firstly, i recommend you take some well focused photos of your build and post them here.

boy howdy, time flies. are we allowed to have these yet?

yeah i was wondering if it was even worth saying anything (like how do you prove something isn’t genuine if you’re not an EE with test equipment and data to prove it etc.) but since you’ve mentioned it, i’ve dropped an email letting them know. haha it’s all yours mate, i’ll chuck it in an...

nah i meant if +9V is going to ground ground (as per 'vintage' schematics). my bad, i should have been clearer. tbh i quite like how you depict a 'virtual ground' for the transistors in your design/schematic. I'm not sure i've seen many schematics that ever bother to differentiate between the...

which part? i said 'if there is +9V going to ground...' i didn't say '+9V must go to ground' (just trying to understand where I've got it wrong) i really like this design though. never seen it done like this before. pretty nifty!

the jack sleeve also goes to ground. if there is +9V going to ground, and therefore also the jack sleeve, this can affect other pedals in the signal chain, as all of their jack sleeves will have continuity to the same ground (via patch cables). this is explained well here...

yep. pretty much exactly what @spi said. cheers 🤙🏻 yeah it’s weird, i don’t understand why it’s that weak, when compared to the dark rift where the modulations on that are wild and awesome but very controllable. probably, i wouldn't know though. Alright, well since this build report got...

that crunch 🫶

https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb001/ with a good boost in front this will probably get close. FYI - this is a very good boost/drive: https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/frostdrive/ C2CE isn't a bad idea either https://c2celectronics.com/product/black-eye-pcb-set/ (SLO)...

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.
