Hmm. When I touch with soldering iron, I tend to poke the bits around. I do have a heat gun, is that useable for reflow or will I destroy the components?

OK. After a few too many work-for-salary evenings, I assembled my MicroXLR. Easily the worst solder job I've done in decades :p. Now I need to build the board to connect to it (a Darkgllass Alpha Omega clone from AionFX). The only other SMD I've done are adapters for SOIC or transistors. I...

I have created a Github Repository to share the KiCad files for PCB breakout boards for the Neutrik M-Series style audio jacks. There are variants for Lug or PCB mounts, and for JST-XH and JST-PH headers. I have verified the versions with JST-PH headers. gtfields13/SharedPCB

You might try again. I just uploaded and I think they are there now. I have versions to upload for these jacks with the larger JST-XH connectors as well.

Thanks for the compliment! I have this brand concept in my head and am trying to execute and improve. I have made a couple of iterations of jack PCBs so I can use removable connectors to link the boards. I created these in KiCad and have made them using either the DigiKey DKRed service or...

A legible version of the Tone Law!

I have finished the last new build from my first batch of printed cases. This is the Boyle's¬Law, based upon the Keeley Compressor Deluxe, using the AionFX Aurora Deluxe PCB. (¬ = "not" math symbol). This one took a trip to the Troubleshooting forum first, where @Nic was sharp-eyed enough to...

I received both my Mouser and PedalPCB orders today and confirm that the Neutrik XLR jack in the Mouser cart fits the PCB.

This was exactly the problem, and the only problem 😳. I tossed that capacitor and put a fresh 47µF with the correct orientation and everything works great. This is my first compressor, so I explored a little to see if I understand the sound (as opposed to the concept) and I definitely hear what...

They do work, but I can see where I could have connected strictly through the footswitch/bottom. I kind of like having the ground/9V on an isolated connector, as I can pull that through the mounting hole cleanly (I avoid soldering components in the case, because I am bad at it). I suppose I...

OOOHhh. Thank you. Well spotted! This is definitely backwards.

UPDATE My Tayda delivery included a case for the GS808 Dual OpAmp that I built last month. For it's re-homing, I went with a simple design, with a Phido nod to the origin, the PCB author (@szukalski) and the PCB supplier @MichaelW. There isn't a whole lot new here (although I have TS to compare...

That looks great, and also a great result. I have this PCB in my stack to build but want to get a handful of other pedals (simpler) under my belt before diving into this one. I am looking forward to using this, as flangers fit my synth setup.

This week's Phido Sound new build is the Ohl Junction, based upon the Marshall Guv'nor, using the PedalPCB Guvernator PCB. I finished this a week ago, but was imagining that I might put together a demo for the sound. Given that my guitar playing is not that exciting, and this pedal isn't...

I finished wiring up the aurora deluxe and I definitely have some troubleshooting to complete. I have sound and bypass, but only on one side of the blend. So my really basic starting question is - which direction (CCW or CW) is the clean vs the compressor for this circuit. In my case 10 (full...

That's a cool idea, If there is a worthy difference I could make a similar mod to the circuit. I have a straight build of the pedal with the 2N5087, so I can already do A/B comparison once I have #2 worked up.

This is a busy circuit to breadboard, I will probably socket the transistors, and then see how this sounds with alternative transistors. I also want to see what LM13600 does to noise in this circuit as well. I need to get in parts before I build this new version (part of the question's...

I'd love to see this working (and wish I could help, but I am not that skilled at debugging circuits). Phasers (and modulation, in general) fit nicesly in my synth effects chain!

I didn't know these exist, but have done basically the same thing with hypodermic needles, which are basically the same things without the handle, and a pointy end you can accidentally jab yourself with.

I am building a second copy of the AionFX Sunstone (EHX Small Stone), and I wanted to know if I will see significant difference in replacing the 2N5087/2N5088s in this circuit with a BC549C/BC559Cs. I know the BC's have to be rotated 180 degrees, but will I notice any appreciable increase in...
