Yep! The hydra is the best FV-1 DIY circuit IMO. Does the helix have an echo Rex style delay @SillyOctpuss ?

Yeah it’s seems like you could cover so much ground with those two. I love my hydra too much to be interested in any other delays at the moment.

It turns out that reverse psychology obviously works for me as I went for the chase bliss dork world (🤣🤣🤣 @Harry Klippton ) I just loved the sounds from both sides of it from what I listened to and all the switching options are super-interesting. I’ll probably get the faves MIDI switch for it...

So I’ve pulled the trigger on one from the poll above. Hopefully it should arrive either tomorrow or on Monday…

The pedals as part of this poll are all on evil bay at the moment and I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on one of them.

If you use a a 1u or 2u2 output cap and a 100k pot it should make the filter redundant for guitar frequencies. At 25k it filters at 2Hz. 50k is 1.4Hz and 75k is 1Hz with a 2u2. So with this value you don’t have a useful filter as everything above these values is allowed to pass on the output...

When wiring up a TPA3118 module, has anyone experimented with pot value to make the volume more controllable? The image above uses a B50k wired before the module. I’d assume a A50k would be better. I have a tube preamp build in the works that I want to use this with as a power amp for a 1x12.

Thanks Nathan!

What size traces do you use with tube circuits @vigilante398 Also what do you do interns of space between ground and traces?

You have the SMD and through hole component in place for the J201. You don’t need both of those. Have you tried removing the through hole JFET to see if that changes anything?

Great work @boysenpai and I love your persistence. The lowtide is a pretty ballsy first pedal to build. I would recommend that you have a go with some simple low part count ODs or fuzzes next. This thread is also very useful...

I took a chance on this through eBay. The seller had said that it had been sat in a box for 20 years and didn’t work. They go on reverb (for examples in better condition than this one) for £350-£580 so I took a punt and won it for £161 thinking there’s a good chance to get my money back or more...

@SillyOctpuss is the diode whisperer - listen to his advice!

They have some of the most classic guitar designs in history - why don’t they’d just stick to doing what they do to the best of their ability rather than weird shit of putting a tele neck on a les Paul.

That’s awesome. Very innovative circuit but also huge sentimental value too. Love it Nathan! Real 1 of 1 type instrument.

I think it’s about considering headroom. I like compressors at 18v because I don’t want it to break up. I feel the same about EQs too. I agree with @Harry Klippton in that blues breaker type circuits sound better at 18v (to me). I think this is because I use a blues breaker as more a a dirty...

Yep I was think an issue with the relay or switching to some extent if you get the bypassed sound when activating the footswitch. Is there power where you would expect it to be? Are there any loose cables/poor joints connecting the break outs to the main PCB?

Most of us here are human - as humans we make mistakes. As long as you’ve put your hands up and owned the error then it’s all good! As fig says “Now go and build something!”
