    Vox AC15-ish amp

    Looks great! Not to derail, but I'm curious. I've seen a handful of your threads about building amps here and there. How big of a leap would you say it is to move from pedal-building to putting together an amp - and how does one make that leap, per se? I've built and modded dozens of pedals...

    Minidrive - Which version is it?

    Found this from Mike Fuller a few years back on the matter, for whatever it's worth... Come to think of it this actually does track with what I have experienced - that the early "Mosfet" models were much brighter - and what I've heard, too - that there was allegedly a revision somewhere along...

    Minidrive - Which version is it?

    The Fulldrive has always been a bit of an interesting pedal to me... I love, love, LOVE the old FD2 - one of my favorite TS-style sounds ever. But I almost never used the boost on it, as from what I can tell it's pretty much just a toggle for more gain (or at least that's how it ends up...

    Minidrive - Which version is it?

    So, let me head this off by saying...I've never taken much of a look at the schematics myself so I'm not entirely sure what the differences are/would be. But I'm curious: Is the Minidrive based on the Fulldrive 1 (which itself is claimed by Mike/Fulltone to be built off of the late 90s/early...

    Missing Build Docs / Schematics

    Maybe I've missed it but...build doc/part list/drill template for Pro-10 Dual? :)

    Dual Pedal wiring *with* TRS and/or 4-jack option

    That's pretty much exactly what I was going for. Looks like I was overthinking it by a fair margin...Haha. Thank you!! For all the ones I've seen that just use two jacks to accomplish the same thing they all seem to be using TRS jacks with some sort of switching to toggle between "regular" and...

    Dual Pedal wiring *with* TRS and/or 4-jack option

    Okay, I *think* I might've came up with something that would work to accomplish this purpose... But I'm not totally sure where you would wire the actual circuit in/outs. Four switched TRS jacks. Going to try to explain without drawing anything...will try to keep it as not-confusing as possible...

    Dual Pedal wiring *with* TRS and/or 4-jack option

    Apologies if this exists somewhere already but I wasn't able to find anything beyond the 'standard' dual pedal wiring options found on the Wiki. So, on some dual pedals nowadays builders have started making them with either two TRS jacks or four jacks to allow you to use both sides of the pedal...

    Missing Build Docs / Schematics

    Not "missing" per se but I'm wondering about the Superbolt/Super '64 - has the PCB been updated for SMD J201's? The graphic and build doc still just show through-hole, so I figured I ought to check.

    Triple Pedal Build

    That is so sharp!! Yet another thing that makes me want to add a CNC to my shop... Which CNC are you using if you don't mind me asking?

    Chauffeur/Daily Driver OD - Too much gain?

    I was able to get ahold of some 1N5222B's (as above, I had previously used 1N5221B) and swapped those in, but unfortunately didn't really make any meaningful difference to my ears. I went back and re-flowed *every* solder point and scrubbed the board down with alcohol to clean it up a bit and...

    Light plates

    I've never done it specifically for light plates/pedals, but acrylic cuts pretty well with most woodworking tools. In the past, I've cut it by using carpet tape (strong double-sided tape) to affix it to my template, rough cut with a jigsaw or something, and then use a flush-trim bit on the...

    Mouser Project Lists [Suggestion]

    Aion has Mouser lists for some (not sure if all) of their projects. Example I agree though, would be a cool addition! Even the same at Tayda would be nice if only to ensure you don't forget something, haha. Just last week I forgot to add a single potentiometer (needed 3, only added 2 of that...

    Chauffeur/Daily Driver OD - Too much gain?

    PCB: Not my cleanest ever (after looking at pictures/up close, could really stand to clean off some flux...) In case it's not legible from the pics, IC1-IC5 is NJM4558D and IC6 is ICL7660SCPAZ. As above I *did* substitute D1-D4 (1N5222B) for 1N5221B. Everything functions as it should...

    Chauffeur/Daily Driver OD - Too much gain?

    Hi all, Just wrapped up a build of the Chauffeur OD. As far as I can tell everything works as intended - the only thing is that when compared to the "real thing" (well, videos, anyways) mine seems to be breaking up a bit earlier and the breakup is a bit "woolier". I did have to make one...

    Utility and Junction Boxes

    Here's something similar that I thought would be nice too: Vertex DIY Mono Dual Buffer + Audition Interface The project is not terribly complicated at all (8 jacks, enclosure, DC jack...not a lot going on) except that it's built around these Creation Audio Labs buffered jacks. I'm sure they're...

    If you could only have one...

    I will be repeating a lot of others, but... 1. Solder: Kester 44 2. Desoldering braid: Honestly, I can't remember the last time I used braid. Pretty much always use my trusty old Weller desoldering pump/solder sucker. That one - my favorite - is an older and out-of-production one with a...

    What plectrum does everyone use?

    My favorite has to be Gravity Picks (Standard, unpolished, 1.5mm) or I really like the Dunlop Flow's (same size) but at like $6 each they're too pricey for how frequently I misplace them...haha. So my "standard" pick I am normally using is a 0.96mm (purple) Gator Grip.

    Chauffeur - 1N5222B sourcing/substitutes?

    I would add also - in hopes of learning something new - I haven't seen the schematic, so I don't even know if these are used as clipping diodes (I didn't think Zeners were commonly used in that application but I'm just guessing, honestly), but I was under the impression that with clipping diodes...
