The easiest thing to do would be replace C8 with a larger value (will send lower frequencies to ground). You can also remove and jumper R14 (this will drop the overall resistance to ground, would probably give a slightly more usable range on the tone pot. You can also try both of these things in...

Yeah I looked at the schematic a little more and came to the same conclusion lol I ended up just pulling the caps and replacing them

I just ended up buying the 35V caps and replacing them lol. Haven't put the pots in yet, still need to drill the enclosure it get them fitted properly

Made the mistake of building a Duocast board without reading the build docs, most of the electrolytic caps I used are only rated at 25V. I've built a ton of pedals, but typically they don't go over 18V so I've actually never run into this issue - how sketchy is it to leave the 25V caps? If I'm...

Anyone know what color the clipping LEDs in the Acetylene are? I'm assuming red, but wanna make sure. Thanks!

Sorry to be that guy 😅 I'm using my phone and somehow I missed like the top 3/4s of this thread, my apologies. Best of luck with it! I'll report back once I've built mine

Is there enough room on this to socket the ICs? I always install sockets first and didn't want to do it if not

Hey man, I just started putting mine together and have noticed some pretty wild resistor values lol, I have about 70 values on hand but can't cover a few of these. Did you use exact component values? Without the build docs/schematic I don't want to get crazy changing things up until I'm sure I'm...

This is actually super easy to do! Here is the part of the schematic you'll need to change, you basically just need two 47k resistors and a 10kB pot. If you look at the schematic of the Cepheid, you'll see that there's a ton of similarities, save for the part I have circled (in terms of the...

Awesome, thank you!

Any idea if /when these will be available again? Also, just got the front template today, is there a way to tell whether the inner vs outer holes should be used for each build other than measuring (does the 3 knob always use the outer, 5 knob uses inner or something similar)?

I made the PCB Guitar Mania version of this and was highly disappointed in it, though now there is a modded version of the build doc claiming that it actually gives it some high gain sounds (lots of complaints on the original board that it was essentially just an overdrive, certainly not high...

Would anyone care to explain what the trimpot in the Roboto actually does? That Op Amp is set up in a pretty strange configuration (I'm fairly new to electronics, but it's not the way that I've seen either traditional inverting or non-inverting Op Amps set up) and it doesn't appear to be acting...

There's a guy who has a tutorial on submitting to them, let me see if I can find it

Nah I need to do this, I haven't had time the last few days. The sea of electrolytic caps around the FV1 on this makes it very difficult to do much now that the board is populated lol, this is my first time doing smd myself which doesn't help

I got them from Profusion so I doubt that's the issue but it certainly could be

You can always stand up 1/4W resistors too, that's what I always do because keeping both stocked and organized is a pain lol

I bought two organ donor boards (really wishing the FV1s had been in stock when I bought them right about now) and can't get any wet signal out of them. Audio probe gives signal on pins 1/2 of the FV1 on both boards, nothing at pins 27/28 on either. I've tried reflowing both ICs, didn't seem to...

No, I was very fortunate that I was able to stay in my post doc until I found a job in industry, I'm very thankful for that. Doing grad school with a baby seems VERY challenging, good on you for doing it! I'm glad you're finding solace in pedal building, it's definitely a nice, usually not...
