They're "outtie" jacks. You can find them on Tayda or LoveMySwitches. Some people don't like them - they stick out a bit more - but to me it makes no sense that you can easily remove all the electronics from the enclosure except for one jack. With outtie jacks you can solder everything outside...

This is my report on a build of the PPCB Low Tide Mini, based on the Fairfield Shallow Water. I like Fairfield pedals, and this one was recommended across the forum. It's a great pedal. Inspiration I hadn't done any shorebird pedals, and that was an obvious choice for the "low tide" or...

Thanks for debugging this. I've incorporated the changes and updated Github with the revised version.

I've talked about it a bit. My earlier stuff was by hand, though I was typically tracing photos. More recent stuff I start with an AI-generated image. Usually the generated stuff has glitches - not the right colors, or I want to combine a few images. I'm pretty handy with Photoshop and I have a...

I really can't comment on the circuit, beyond what Cees had to say. However, while testing I initiallly didn't have the IC socketed, and there was no sound while switched off, so it's not true bypass.

While we're at it, is the chip required for all VFE builds, or is true bypass relatively simple to do instead?

Wow!

This is my report on a build of the Skidmark Pedals "Sonofier" boost, a fairly versatile boost pedal. @coltonius shared the build doc on the forums. The gerber is available here. Inspiration I've been trying to cover a lot of the common birds here in the Pacific Northwest, and the Song Sparrow...

Yes, which I like more than just always having a flashing LED that's on even when the pedal isn't. But I still find it distracting when the rate is turned up...

This is my report on a build of the Sea Horse, based on the EQD Sea Machine. It's a chorus with a lot of cool options, similar to the Caesar. I feel like this pedal doesn't get much recognition - I'd recommend it! Inspiration I was thinking about distinct waterbirds that I hadn't based any...

I've just ordered the chrome green (with matte white and black enclosures in the order as well, so it might take a while...). Will report back. Unlike the chromium there's no warning on the page that it's easy to scratch, so fingers crossed this works out. I accidentally ordered sand texture...

Most versatile muff is the Muffin Factory...

Nice! What font did you use on the faceplate? It looks really slick.

Just be aware that with the older layout the knob will have to be a bit more towards the center of the enclosure.

This is my report on a build of the Dunwich Amplification Cthulhu Fuzz (the one-knob silicon version). It's a great-sounding doomy fuzz. You can download the gerber here. Inspiration What kind of bird would you associate most with Lovecraft? Perhaps a crow or raven, but I am keeping those...

I believe I used a 3mm red LED and a GL5549. Might have been a GL5528. The LDR definitely came from this set.

I forgot the right PCB, it wasn't the pyrocumulus. The examples I had in mind are the Glyph and Trumpeter. PPCB boards rarely stack controls in 3 rows, but when switches are on the bottom in a third row, they're pressed close to the pots - close enough that I will put a piece of electrical tape...

Looks pretty good. A few small things. - There's nothing stopping you from rotating q4 so it's oriented the same way as the other transistors. Just connect the middle pin to C9 first. It will be slightly cleaner than what you have. I'd prob rotate q3 as well. All the solid blocks that look...

It took about a month total between when I placed the order and when it shipped (June 25-July 24). This was ~10 custom enclosures, half drilled, mostly different paint colors, and some random parts. I think 1-2 enclosures had bubbling and had to be redone, which added a few days. So it wasn't...

Really clean design and a nice first PCB layout. About the only "rule" that I can see is violated here is around orientation - the two plastic transistors on the main board have different orientations, as do some of the electrolytic caps.
