Particle Accelerator is based on the Alembic F-2B, which is particularly popular with the bass crowd due in part to the extended low-end frequency response. Reducing the value of the cathode bypass cap will absolutely shift the cutoff frequency of the low-end of the circuit. You can see visually...

Holy shit that's a lot of glue.

To measure the Vf of the LEDs you just leave the pedal unpowered and use the diode setting on your multimeter. One LED flashing when the footswitch is pressed definitely sounds like something is up there.

You didn't mention that, if the diodes were installed incorrectly then it would have had these symptoms from the get-go. A failed LED could be something to look at if you can measure the Vf of the LEDs.

It's kind of a joke, but it's something I've considered doing for fun. Nope, I think someone else did that though. I don't have a bunch of tuners lying around, the only tuner I will be using for the foreseeable future is the Shure GLXD6, I just wanted to build this one because it seemed like a...

Got back from vacation Monday and found the Q-Tune box sitting on my doorstep, finally got around to putting it together tonight. I used machined sockets instead of the included leaf-style ones as I've had bad experiences with those, and I also decided not to socket the relays as I figure...

If it sounds fine on the Si setting and the problem is only on the LED setting, I would look at the LED themselves, make sure they are oriented correctly, and also take a look at the switch and make sure you have good connection where it's supposed to be and no connection where it's not supposed...

I mean I've never hand drilled a Nobelium enclosure, but I could probably throw something together (because I'm pretty sure I was already asked to do it like a year ago).

I have mixed feelings on this one. I enjoy building pedals, it started as and always has been an escape for me, but I also have a wife and three kids, and time spent building pedals is time that isn't focused on them, so I need to be compensated for that. I still have a day job that pays the...

I will continue to selfishly say no worries as I won't be home for another 12 days, but glad to hear it's moving along.

We've all been there :rolleyes: boards look great, stoked to get it together and try it out (in a few weeks after my vacation is over)

That's a slippery slope. Standardizing things helps save time and parts costs, modification and customization will eat up your time. When I first started building seriously I only had one model, but I offered it in a bunch of different finishes, so even though the PCB was the same I was putting...

This is the way. My builds are the same if not better quality than they were when I started selling, but I can build them way faster now. Once you're famous you can get away with spending a week on every pedal and charging accordingly, but as has been said before, until you have a reputation...

Huge +1 to this. Even if you have the coolest FV-1 algorithms out there, if you don't have some reason to stick out among all the other boutique FV-1 based pedals then you're going to have a hard time "breaking into the market." And if you find a way to get into the market, if you don't have...

Absolutely, I'll dig through my old documents in a bit and post what I've got.

Exactly this. I think it's interesting and could be fun to get into, but I barely sleep as it is, I think another hobby would likely kill me.

That's literally the main thing their pricing is dependent on. They charge by the square inch.

I was unaware of this, this changes some things. I have a couple STM32 dev boards I was doing stupid stuff on, this could make them a lot more useful for my caveman brain.

I've done a little bit of playing with STM32, but not much. They're not terrible to flash, but you have to be set up for it, including an ST-LINK or similar device. I use ATTiny for my switching, JLC has a pretty good stock of them. ATTiny can also be flashed by Arduino which is a lot more...

Your context doesn't include what pedals are in the chain and their combined current draw. If you have multiple high-current pedals in the chain and the supply doesn't have enough to cover them, you'll be getting noise. If I had a dollar for every "my 250mA supply is usually so quiet but I'm...
