    Will the BBW Sonic Stomp work with an off-spec pot?

    Put a 100k resistor across lugs 1 and 3 of the 100k pot to get 50k

    Does anyone LIKE soldering SMDs?

    I like it well enough if my shit works after I’m done. So far I’m 100% success (not saying much since the sample size is pretty small). I have some hand shaking/nerve(?) issues that make the tweezer work a bitch, but somehow I manage to get it done. Doing 1 pad first is by far the best process I...

    JPTR FX Add Violence ?

    Anybody got a schematic of this pedal? I was given one that isn’t doing the fuzz. Probably because the “Dry” trimmer is jacked and stuck on all clean, but would like to do a more thorough investigation before just replacing the trimmer.

    All this flanger talk (AionFx Xenotron)

    The paper trick didn’t really change anything on mine, but I had the correct part so meh? Listening to demos, mine sounds like those so again, meh.

    All this flanger talk (AionFx Xenotron)

    I am actually using the king brite diffused as called for in the BOM, but might give the paper trick a try just to see what happens

    All this flanger talk (AionFx Xenotron)

    The flange on mine isn’t super heavy either, may just need a little more tweaking with the BBD bias trim. That and some settings, especially with the action knob position, are more subtle. according to the build docs, 12 on the action knob basically removes the flanging. The enclosure was a...

    All this flanger talk (AionFx Xenotron)

    I haven’t tried in stereo yet, but in mono as stated in the build docs, the trem is always at 100% depth, but I can change the amount of flange with the depth pot

    It’s got a lot going on for sure, but if you make use of the interactive BOM, it’s a huge help.

    All this flanger talk (AionFx Xenotron)

    Yup. All this talk about flangers gave me the push to finish this behemoth. I have built a few of the larger AionFx projects, but I have to say this was the most intensive one yet. 16 jumpers between the footswitch and main boards alone. The build docs weren’t lying with their warnings. At least...

    All Time Most Bestest Favoritest Flanger?

    The LectricFx Old Chap is delicious, but runs on 18v if that is a detraction also kind of prone to picking up and amplifying noise from charge pumps in pedals up steam from it. Prefer it to my Byzantium for sure. There also exists the ElectricDruid Flangelicious project. I have not built it, but...

    Favorite Vox in a Box PPCB's

    Having never played an actual vox I can’t attest to its actual “voxiness”, but the Acetylene is a pretty good sounding pedal and the top boost can peel out your inner ear. The Pharmacist was pretty meh for me, not bad, but not terrible either. IF I were to build it again I would move the eq...

    OCD 1.2 Rehouse - help me not screw this up

    Usually switched/TRS/stereo jacks connecting ground is for battery use only and since you are getting rid of the battery clip, you just need to make sure that the negative pad on the board gets back to the ground lug of the new power jack either directly or by way of a star ground. Lugs 2-3 are...

    OCD 1.2 Rehouse - help me not screw this up

    Let’s start with the question, how good are your desoldering skills? The jacks should be an easy 1:1 switch just remember the slant side of the originals is the ground/sleeve terminal. The battery snap is easy enough since it can just stay attached to the power jack, just desolder the board...

    Making the Unicab work for Bass?

    I have not specifically tried it with a bass, but the unicab (to me) tends to lean to a more bass heavy/darker tone anyways. Depending on what you are looking to achieve with the pedal, you could build a MBP Sludgehammer

    Filling pickguard holes

    If only the person before me had actually spaced the holes evenly. Meh, it was a $79 dollar bass and I’m overthinking it. If I like it well enough I may replace the stock pup and if that happens I’ll just get a new guard
