That's 1N, not IN. Getting this stuff right is important if you're running searches.

That seems to be the exact same kit I ordered from AliExpress. I haven't received it yet but Australia Post says it'll probably be delivered tomorrow (which in this time zone is Monday). Which is blazingly fast, since I only ordered it on the 14th of April.

I'm pretty sure there's an added 1N5817 protection diode.

Anywhere between next week and the heat death of the universe.

I did do a search for P&C schematics and confirmed that there's nothing exotic in it, that's all I really needed to know. My other concern is that it's probably not going to fit a Tayda pre-drilled box, so I'll wait till there's a template and see how I feel about it.

Does the PCB have the values printed on it? If so, there's your BoM. This PCB is in the "maybe" pile for me, so I'd like to see a BoM before I commit to it.

And on the outside, blue and white. White Blues, duh.

I wasn't expecting much from this one, really just ordered the PCB because I was doing some other Boss drives and wanted to add another one. I'd never actually tried a BD-2 so I was expecting something similar to other Boss overdrives, but this one has its own voice. It kept me playing much...

Several of the FV-1 chip PCBs are exactly the same, the eeprom is what makes them do different things.

If your LED isn't a piece of Baltic Amber with an insect inclusion from the Cretaceous era, why even bother making pedals at all?

And here are the glamour shots. It's dark here so this is what you get, moody half-lit film-noir psychedelia. Which is the best kind.

The "35" is meaningless, just me trying to create a unique thread title. It occurred to me at some point that I could have bought a new SD-1 for not much more than it cost me to build this one, but (1) I had the fun of building it and (2) mine's cooler and features a lot more purple than the...

That looks great, and it does indeed evoke the 80s. I like the postcard-as-insulator too.

Yes, T18 or whatever they're called. That's the usual pot type I use. I check AliExpress for everything these days. If I have to be buying stuff that's made in China, then I might as well cut out the resellers and buy from China directly.

Also, I love bass and baritone, so I've built a few low-end-friendly pedals, such as : https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/basstaur-aka-klich%C3%A9-mini-with-chuckified-bass-mods-demos.15228/ https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/aion-azure-ce-2-clone-with-bass-mod.12133/ ...and some others, but...

They sure look like the AliExpress ones to me. That seller probably just buys bags of them from AE (or AliBaba) then marks them up 500%.

Almost all of my knobs come from AliExpress. I've bought mini-chickenheads from and had no problems with: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000437856957.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32737268795.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002542609203.html There are many more sellers with...

It's no problem for me to snip 10 off the roll and give 'em away, I'm unlikely to need all 99 of them. And a few bucks for postage by slow boat is also no big deal. But I warn you, the only thing slower than postage to Australia is postage from Australia.

Thx! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002334131697.html I gambled on these and, having tested a few and used one in a pedal, they're A-OK. Now I have 99 more of them. I'd send you some but I'm in Australia and you might not get them any quicker than just buying them from AliEx. If you spend...

Ow, yeah, there's not much worse than spinal pain. Fortunately mine is just stressed because I wasn't taking proper care of it, rest has helped a lot and I'm trying to find ways to do things that are less hard on my back. I'm at the age where I have to take a bit more care, I'm in pretty good...
