    Custom A/B Box + Assignable footswitch

    You want one button to both AB your guitar input and trigger a program change in the AxeFX? The problem is, you want one button / switch to perform 2 electrically / mechanically different things. Your AxeFX will expect a momentary signal, but your AB needs a physical circuit change. If that is...

    Reverb Preferences

    Personally I always use VST reverbs. Though the reverbs in the Helix products are very good. But I've never really found a stomp box style verb that I really enjoy.

    Help measuring SMD JFETS

    This tester is trash, however I'm thinking of getting one just for that pad lol.

    What Should I Consider in Vocal Pedal Designs?

    As to the phantom power section, a transformer isolated out will help protect the output of your circuit from getting 48v.

    Sourcing Compact Red Metal Film Caps

    I'm in New Zealand so also can't comment on the Tariff situation, but can say, they have literally everything you need, and it's well packed. The only thing is occasionally they can take a while to actually ship, but once it ships it's pretty quick. The upside is, if you think you've forgotten...

    Sourcing Compact Red Metal Film Caps

    Once thing I've done is add SPECIFIC components to my DipTrace library, I have an added LCSC part number so if I ever want something to be assembled I already have a BOM with the proper part numbers ready to go. It also shortcuts my component sourcing as I know I can search for the specific...

    First build component sourcing

    I'm willing to bet a BAT46 in series with a 1N4148 will have almost exactly the same curve as the 2D304B / KD203A.

    So the electro caps didn't bump you over to standard?

    Yeah, the extended parts costs adds up real quick, I was hoping for myself to get the resistors and caps assembled and then finish off the rest myself, but with C0G not being included as a basic that kind of ruins the idea for my single board ambitions.

    Legit LM308n ?

    I'd love to do a metal can Rat build, if only for the cool factor. My ears definitely won't notice lol.

    Getting Started with PCBA at JLCPCB

    In Diptrace, I've created custom components, they have the JLC catalogue number as an additional field so at the end I can generate a BOM. I essentially went through all the basics, or preferred extended if necessary, for resistors and caps and created a component for all of them. KiCAD has a...

    Getting Started with PCBA at JLCPCB

    Nice. Given I just build for myself I usually only need one copy of a board. So with the lack of C0G caps available I think SMD might actually not be worth it and TH will end up cheaper. You can also make boards fit multiple purposes, but then they probably won't share many components so the...

    When it comes to Through Hole parts, does it matter which ones you choose? Is it just a case of the very first one has the setup fee then you can choose any through hole parts you want from the LCSC catalogue?

    9V protections for projects with a voltage doubler (muzzle, klon...)

    Max voltage for the LT1054 is 15v. I guess what I was trying/hoping to achieve is low drop reverse voltage protection with the first half of @PedalBuilder circuit. And the type of over voltage protection from your circuit where the voltage is limited to a safe max and the circuit doesn't shut...

    9V protections for projects with a voltage doubler (muzzle, klon...)

    Is it possible to have the best of both world here? IE something that looks like this? D7 Could be ~13v for instance to protect an LT1054 or similar.
