Go in and clean up your wires esp at the power plug. Also your input jack connections are backwards. The ground is correct but the bottom lead in your pic should go to the battery

I have a couple sets of these which I like because they are configurable - the drawer housings come apart so you can set them up however you want. I also have two of these, which take up a lot of space, but it's really nice having an entire drawer for each resistor value

Dang, I never even thought of that. I'll try to keep that in mind with the next one. The power is DC and the signal path is low voltage so hopefully it'll be ok!

This is my first shot at a PCB - I went for an MXR Il Diavolo, one of the first pedals I really liked. I wanted it to be a certain layout so it can fit it in a double board project I have in mind. It was difficult to figure out the priority some of the components need when being laid out. Also...

That looks much better! I've never liked any of EQD's modulation pedals... or their dirt pedals. I have a Sproing Deluxe coming up that uses an LED and a photoresistor that I'm excited about. Try the Moonshot Tremolo for a more traditional trem

I can't decide whether I like harmonic tremolo or not - it's neither a vibe, nor a real tremolo Try some of these knobs

If you're still new to this, pick up a couple boards from Aionfx - his board docs are very thorough and friendly to newcomers who aren't familiar enough to be able to put the pieces together on your own. I hope you can understand that without any info on what board you have or the ability to...

I would just send the company your question about the board and see what they say.

All you need to do is conduct a study using your own pedals as a sample. How many of them have you had to retighten a year down the road? The only thing I've had to retighten are power jacks - both the bigger and smaller type, as they do not have a retaining washer, just a thin nut. So for my...

Yeah, it's true. The spring force they put on the nut acts as a lubricant for the rotational force that undoes the nut I just tighten mine up with a regular washer. When I mount my jacks, I do it so the inner housing of the jack rests against a wall of the enclosure so that if they do come...

Double check that none of the solder pads are passing signal to the ground plane where it's been nicked Generally a lack of signal means the signal path is shorted to ground somewhere so probe around to see if you can find it Look really close and see if there are any fine strands of solder...

That's really cool. I've been working on a template strategy in my head for a while now and one of the questions is should I size the holes to match the smallest diameter of the step bit for the hole, or the largest? The step bits tend to wander so I don't think matching the smallest step is the...

You can also try a 1u cap along the wet path before the mix pot Try removing the vol pot and see if you have mix pot issues

Take it as a compliment, good sir!

in other delay circuits, the level control doesn't follow the blend control directly, rather it's implemented differently - there is either a level control for the delay only before it joins back with the dry path or there is a mix control in lieu of a master vol control. I would remove the...

You could breadboard it to isolate the circuit from the PCB and determine the crosstalk issue

I would start with a fresh look in the morning and if nothing jumps out at you, I would remove the tone control setup and check if the rest of the behavior is the same (wet/dry being off, repeats still there in weird situations) Then remove the mix pot and directly wire the wet and then the dry...

When your bit hits the box every fraction of a millimeter counts!

Your analog pedals can be daisy chained together, but digital pedals should get their own power cables. I use a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power X4 which means I can daisy chain a number of analog pedals and have 3 digital pedals.. but I don't have any so it's all good :) @Robert Can we get a DIY power...

Your clipping LED's are missing. Also, try setting the BBD trimmer somewhere in the middle to start
