    Parallel Pedal (Cataclysm // Spirit Box) Wiring Question

    I'm working on a multi-pedal box, too, and my head's turned around a bit. Is it standard for these extra pads to always be extra ground pads? Should they all connected to jack sleeves (grounds)? Does it matter which one's are connected to which? @jnfpbenjamin - good luck on that super box...

    Ermagherd! Fuzz

    "I read a lot of comics books because I'm not a real adult." A lot of adults forget how to have fun. You're living the dream, don't let anyone say otherwise, comrade. Another great demo vid, a service to the community. Rock and roll!

    Pythagoras L78L33 Temperature

    Did you end up cooking the L78L33? Turns out I just did the same thing with my Leprechaun / Rainbow Machine. Thought I'd poke around the forum before I start poking around on my build. Thanks!

    CDXL Classic?

    For what it's worth, I built the reissue - it's great! The up/down switch is fun, and the parts were way easier to source. That VTL5C4 is a stinker to find in the classic edition. ;)

    BEHOLD! My Cepheid Build, made with science

    Can you go into some further detail on that? I got two fun yet ticky pedals (Sea Horse and Chaos Machine), this seems like a nice fix. A - what's going on here? how to you split the tip/sleeve signals and send that to the board? B - where is the sleeve signal going, if not in these spots? C...

    What plectrum does everyone use?

    I've been a historic picker (dunlop greens .88mm)... and a nail-biter. I've dabbled with a bit of finger picking, but it never sounded good because of the stumpy nubs. Upsides to the pandemic: I thought it was a good time to stop putting my fingers in my mouth. Finder picking with nails is so...

    Duocast

    @almondcity is on it. Sometimes, if you can't find the exact right size, you can just lay things on their sides. I get creative when I have the right valued parts, but they are a funky size. If you scroll through enough build reports, you'll find some sideways parts, for sure!

    shopping list - efficient buying - easy system to pick and add components

    Check out this post I made a while back - I stumbled on a blog post explaining the weird patterns to all the values of the common parts. There's a reason for those oddball values, turns out! I got curious again, because the E3, E6, E12 thing didn't stick the first time I found this out, this...

    I have a new toy!

    I've been on-again off-again considering an Elektron device. Maybe the Model:Cycles, Digitakt, or Digitone. Anyone use one of those?

    Practice Amp

    Wow - I missed this post when it came out! This is super cool, @fig What type of speaker/cab are you sending your amplified signal to?

    Captain Bit Filter

    For what it's worth: My filter pot always made me wonder, too. The diff is very subtle compared to the more drastic pot neighbors on the pedal.

    PedalPCB Gnat mod - "The Dizzy Elk"

    Just rock along with one of their classics for the next demo. "Put Down the Duckie" is a personal fave. Words to live by!

    Silver mica cap and tantalum in the Percolation Station

    I second that concept: Transistors will be the dominant factor. I tried a handful, they were wildly different from each other! It's a great pedal.

    Germanium transistors - what do I do?

    one route is to do a direct search - if you google the entire forum and shop, you will come up with posts and product pages that have those transistors. for example: [site:pedalpcb.com oc71] shows a bunch of posts for the simulcast and duocast. [site:pedalpcb.com ASX12D] looks like someone...

    Multimeters

    The Fluke 107 looks great, but what about a $30ish multimeter? Any thoughts on other brands or models? Klein, GB, or Triplett? I'm pretty much using mine for ohms and continuity. Occasionally a voltage reading... and maybe accidentally frying my $7 multimeter when wrenching an engine in the barn...

    Sagan Delay from Carcharias Effects

    Solid work! Enclosure Size - which one did you settle on? This one's tricky because of the depth! Sprayer - what kind of sprayer do you use? Just spray cans, or do you have an HVLP rig or something? Pens - what kind of pens do you use? Posca's?
