Very cool combo build! I asked about why the reverb circuit is considered “bad” in my build report, and this is the answer I got. Which now makes more sense since I understand more. The concept could be executed better...

Another option is to use two ppcb intelligent relay bypass boards. Connect the CTRL pads on two of them and use channel switching mode. https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/relaybypass/

Oh yeah! I forgot about the tayda PCB. Good callout @DGWVI https://www.taydaelectronics.com/dh-a14-guitar-effect.html

Not sure who makes a board. But something like this?

Thanks @DGWVI!

I was looking at the Dwarven Hammer (Precision Drive) because it has favorable reviews from a metal drop-tuning perspective. The special sauce in that pedal is the ATTACK rotary switch. I looked at the schematic and it switches between different filter caps. So then I was wondering about...

Thank you for mentioning that! I'm now realizing I think I have the diodes oriented the wrong way by 90 degrees! Pretty sure I misinterpreted the arrows printed on the board.

I think it’s one part curiosity, one part nostalgia. That is one that I haven’t explored yet, but I’m sure I’ll get there at some point. Thanks! I usually think it looks bad on the first try. I keep a bottle of ethanol and kim wipes next to me and “erase” a number of times before I think it’s...

It really is- same width as 1590BB landscape, but with extra length for footswitches and top jacks.

Sweet build- very clean on the inside. Nice demos! Thanks for doing both mono and stereo. I used to be obsessed with Lovetone pedals. I would go on their fancy interactive web 1.0 page in the early 2000s and read all the specs, listen to all the demos. There was no way I could afford one at the...

This is my first combo build. I wanted to do this because I have neither a blues breaker or an ODR-1, so why not do a pedal that has a good reputation for both? I knew that I wanted the two sides to have the option of separate in/out jacks. But I saw folks having an issue with enclosure space...

That’s awesome. I used to play through a bass Crate combo! My first pedal was a TS-9. My friend impulsively stole it from the pawn shop and handed it to me. My 2nd was a vintage reissue RAT. I used to do club gigs with this old country dude and he offered it to me after blowing all the earnings...

I never owned a DS-1 because my friend had one and I thought it sounded like ass. Tube Screamers and Rats for me. At some point I learned that there was a version that was considered good. So I found some TA7136Ps on ebay and then acquired this PCB. Something’s up with the clipping diode...

Thanks! It was close enough to what I was going for, an unamused expression. I used BC108s. These are the ones I ordered: https://stompboxparts.com/semiconductors/bc108-npn-transistor-nos-ti/

The exploration of vintage circuits continues. I’m kind of new to fuzz faces. I have this vintage Guyatone one, but it has too much mojo for regular use. I went with the analogman one because why not have an external bias pot? Shout out to @jjjimi84 for his tutorial video on biasing this...

This could be a learning experience for me, but I thought the gap would be the separation between the value and the tolerance. Read that way it could be interpreted as 1k. Then the meter reading could be an order of magnitude issue.

I’m pretty sure that this is not helping my case- having the delay control leads crossing over the mix leads. I’ll try separating those. Also, I noticed that the DM-3 had the same “fizzle” that I was concerned about with the seabed. The lowest m6 interval on the guitar (low E and 3rd fret...

There's an interesting thread with a lot of ideas- https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/solder-fume-extractor.20245/

Ha! I never would have thought of that. It looks fun!

Thanks that’s helpful. This is my first BBD delay build, and I’ve never owned one so I didn’t have something to compare.
