Hey Folks - I'm up to 7 PedalPCB* pedals, plus Dyna Comp, Rat and TS-9... seems like my True Tone 1-Spot is getting to be overtaxed... right? Of course, not all are on at the same time, but it's nice to have an array of options for maximum tone diversity while picking and grinning. My...

I don't know the exact screw size, but I've always found my local hardware store has always been super helpful for sourcing annoying, one-off (or four-off in your case) hardware pieces like you're looking for. Find one of those huge nuts and bolts thread checkers in the hardware aisle, and...

Just finished my CDXL Reissue Envelope Filter - so, so fun. I'll toss out a build report soon. I'm already thinking about my second build, because messing around with right trimpot produces wild results (especially when turned way up and the toggle switch is in the "down" mode). Would be fun to...

LEDs - We need a pic, but there's a good chance there's something wrong in this area. If the LED's resistor isn't right, that could be your culprit? Are you sure you have clean solder joints in this area, and/or is that really a 4k7 resistor in that spot?

Basic Workflow Tips for Building a PedalPCB - this is a good start!

Now THAT'S an oven!

Powder, spray stencil, final decal!? Nice job on the extensive finishing technique! Did you use any heat (toaster oven baking...) to cure the paint layers?

I've had good luck with directly placing the PDF template into Inkscape, while retaining the correct aspect ratios. I would assume that Gimp would work similarly if you size your Gimp doc to 3 inches wide by 5 inches long, that's enough wiggle room to print your graphics on a 125B template.

@Dali - no shame, pal! just remember that you're asking questions that others are probably thinking about (but not asking), and you're providing a spot for others to find answers! hive mind wins in the end!

Just finished up my Zapper recently. I paired up the Zapper with my Phase II - very nice, very nice. If modding the pedal itself is treacherous, you could always keep the Zapper intact but pair it with another type of modulation pedal or build two-in-one with an order switch. That could be...

Now that's a knob!

Think that might have to be the title of your memoir, Chuck!

FYI - I was JUST about to order up parts for the Spirit Box, and realized that Belton Bricks are tough to snag right now due to production/shipping being slowed from China.

@Chuck D. Bones - due to your astute observations, I'm wondering if my INTENSITY and DEPTH knobs labeled correctly? Or are they swapped (int should be depth, and depth should be int)?

Thanks, pals! I'll start doing some digging. Appreciate it.

Ok, sorry for the potentially simple question: do you have a method for determining what's in the signal path (for silver mica and/or tantalum caps)? If you have a reading source or youtube vid or whatever you'd recommend, I'm all ears. No need to spend too much time going into it if it's a...

Nice looking build! Two questions: - Shrink wrap / heat shrink - I haven't used shrink wrap too much. Why do folks like using shrink wrap? What's the advantage? For connections like wire-to-jacks, what size do folks like to use? - Enclosed stereo jacks - Are those stereo jacks used for a...

If you're thinking of bulking up - I started out only purchasing 1/8 w resistors, instead of 1/4 w. About half the pedals I've been interested in so far use 1/8 w, and you can use them in place of 1/4 w resistors, no sweat, for these pedal builds.

I'm a visual person, so I've drawn this down real big on my scratch paper to get it in my head to help me remember p < n < u. Specifically: 1000 pF = 1nF 1000nF = 1uF @Nostradoomus and @DGWVI are all over it. To repeat: 1 uF nonpolarized caps do come up every once in a while (...CDXL Reissue...

Awesome - now you're really tempting me to try out your mod! Sounds fun to be able to mess around with that setting...
