    Momentary footswitch with intelligent relay module.

    Hi Jesse, the only part that might trip up a noob is: you must run 9v power to both the bypass board and the effects board. These little D.C. breakout boards make it slightly easier. I just graft two 9v+ and ground wires from the DC jack and run wires to both boards. Other than that, the labels...

    What is the ring around the power section on the Skeptical Buffer PCB?

    Might be isolating the charge pump ground from the audio ground. (Just a wild guess.)

    Octave Fuzz For Bass

    The Squidward is a popular octave up. It has a very tiny PCB, so it makes for an easy add-on in a small box.

    Curds and whey distortion added to a better overdrive?

    Watching closely! Hoping for success. I wasn't gonna say anything for fear of being negative, but DGWVI is reading my mind. Isn't the Timmy the epitome of transparent / bordering on meh? I feel like the Oasis would be infinitely more interesting, but also much more complex. Either way, I hope...

    Long 6/32 screw broke off in powder-coated enclosure hole, stuck

    Dudes, thank you. These were great suggestions. I'll probably invest in some reverse drill bits for next time. I tried to cut a notch with the dremmel wheel, but my wheel was too thick. Bad with tools, I managed to make it worse … (drill bit got off center and I wrecked the whole thing.)...

    Long 6/32 screw broke off in powder-coated enclosure hole, stuck

    I normally use a screw to clear the excess powder coating inside the bottom holes. This is a long screw broken off. Probably used this screw once too many times for this process because it broke off. (I know I should be using a 6/32 tap, but I misplaced mine.) How do I save this? There's at...

    I don't have a B2K pot, would placing a B5K pot in this Bit Commander cause some kind of international incident?

    No international incidents required. You can just wire a 3k3 resistor to lugs 1 and 3 of your 5k pot and you essentially have a 2k linear pot.

    DEMO Madbean Stage Fright 2022 - (Maestro MP-1 phaser) w/ top jacks \m/

    Sounds amazing. I dig the chord progression, too. Nice playing.

    Octarock with an oct up switch.

    They both look great dude. Congrats on enduring it to completion. Humans win! Did you remove the toggle switches' inner nuts and washers? I find that gives some essential extra room. Looking forward to your phone demos!

    Sonomatic delay: OPA2134 or not?

    I imagine the benefits of low-noise OPA2134s will be wiped out by the noise of the PT2399s, but I don't really know.

    Harmonic Percolator (with some mods)

    I wanna see all the builds! Anything DIY is something to be proud of. I know man. I love the Harmonic Percolator so much. But with some down octave too? Subtle notes of another favorite pedal: the Blue Box. But the Blue Box's demonic PLL-sounding octave down is overkill sometimes. Some octave...

    Harmonic Percolator (with some mods)

    Thanks, man. I just found a post from Señor Bones indicating so.

    Harmonic Percolator (with some mods)

    Is Ube the same thing as Vbe? Anyone know?

    Harmonic Percolator (with some mods)

    Wow! It's everything you could want in an HP. Thanks for all the detailed notes on dialing in the lower octave. I love that you found a way to switch diodes without a massive volume jump. That mod could come in handy on so many builds. I also like the flush-mounted outtie jack. :) Really...

    Removing cured UV gloss and printing

    Scraping with a fingernail, it scratches off into little flakes. The finish under the scraped part is no longer shiny like the original clear coat, but I might be able to buff some shine back into this section.

    Power Supply recommendations? (Anything inexpensive and reliable?)

    I bought this $27 cheapie. [Hiree brand] I know I'll have to buy a proper quality one eventually. The fact that it comes with 10 DC power cables makes it somewhat worthwhile even if it doesn't have a long lifespan. (Or it could be used for a secondary pedal board.)

    Power Supply recommendations? (Anything inexpensive and reliable?)

    That would be my first thought, except that the bottom of the ENGL says “Designed in Germany.”

    Power Supply recommendations? (Anything inexpensive and reliable?)

    That looks like a good one. I'm seeing a lot of products with the same configuration as the ENGL. The ENGL looks like the basis of a couple of (what I assume are) knock-offs... Undoubtedly, corners were cut to turn it into a $30 product.

    Power Supply recommendations? (Anything inexpensive and reliable?)

    I should just bite the bullet and get a Walrus Phoenix ← that's TWO animals! and stop pretending like I don't take my pedal game seriously. That or a Strymon or CIOKS. That's the right move, right? That way I only have to buy it once.

    Removing cured UV gloss and printing

    That's a bomb aesthetic. I dig it. OK, that's what I feared. I'm imagining you let it sit face down in acetone or paint thinner for awhile. The last time I was in this scenario, I painted over the UV print with white and put waterslide on top. Even with no prep it looked OK. So if this...
