Hi everyone. For some stupid reason, I thought the toggle switch on the simulcast was for the voltage. I just had a look at the build docs and realized it is for gain. I've read here that if you leave out the IC, it will be 7-9v and will be more Fuzz like in character. I think that I might...

I think the brown strip is supposed to go on the right. I struggle to see the colours on the resistors since I am red green colourblind and now need reading glasses (getting old sucks). TBH, I haven't bothered to place them in any specific orientation yet. If you plan to get a nicer iron...

Lightspeed is probably my fav build so far but looks like you took things to another level. That soldering looks super consistent. That's one thing I realized I suck at. I think I am trying to rush too much. Do you have a set temp, and time that you use? I watched a few vids where people...

I am probably going to end up going through a similar process. I really wanted a super lead style pedal but had ordered the M800. I think there was a recent MIAB (Golden Falk) that might be closer to that. It seems like I will end up with at least 10 different overdrives, preamps...

You seem to be building lots of pedals lately! Do you end up keeping the majority of them? The white dot on the NSL32 is at the left lower side by the K? I've got one of these partially started but then I realized I forgot to buy 2K resistors. Sounds like it's most useful application is...

I am hoping to have mine finished in the next few days (realized I forgot to get 470r resistor and 470p caps). I didn't know you could get multi-turn trim pots. Do some people just bias these by ear? I am also looking at getting chisel tip (K tip for T100). BTW, what do the tops of these...

How good are the Flanger/Phaser/Chorus algorithms compared to some of the dedicated pedals on here? I am starting to realize that I will end up with a fairly large pedal board. While I don't use chorus or flanger much, it might be good to have them with the phaser all in one pedal...

So I just look at the circuit, start at the beginning and probe each component sequentially. If the issue is the IC itself (and I didn't socket it) would it be possible to remove it without messing up the board? I guess if it was bad, I could just snip the legs... I had bought some sockets...

I am going to have to print a sticker for mine since I messed up my Tayda UV print pdf.

Local electronics store has been closed. (Don't have an alligator clip but have the rest of the parts to make an audio probe.) I managed to complete a few other pedals in the mean time. I figured out the power jack connection was a bit loose and that was why it was going silent.. The pedal...

I probably should have read the forums a bit more and ordered the extra trimpots for the ChopShop. I only played it for a few minutes but noticed the same things that others mentioned (ie., Sag didn't make a big difference and it doesn't go completely clean). Will have to look through the...

Well, here is a pic of the other side. Looks nasty. Our stupid cat gets hair everywhere and this board was sitting out on the desk for ages. I ran out of high concentration isopropyl alcohol but this pic made me realize I need to get some!

If you have a copy of it, it is probably worth learning how to use. Just load up the image in AI and then go to window --> image trace to create a vector image. You can increase the # of corners, paths etc if the detail is too low.

Have only played with this a few min. I like it. I can't help but wonder if these pedals will sound different through an amp. I am using Helix native through an interface because my pre-ordered amp is still sitting in a port. From what little time I spent with this, I can see the appeal. It...

That looks pretty cool. I am planning to try a few Aion FX boards if I manage to improve with each build.

Thanks. Yes it was a Tayda UV print. I think this was the first design I did before learning how to use Illustrator. I used autotracer to vectorize it. Most of the ones I designed after used Illustrator (it does a better job).

I used the tip for positive and the sleeve for ground. Was I supposed to use the tip (switched)??

This one was the 2nd build and worked first go. It is a cool overdrive. =6&hash=026dd325196c995b37b311869d33f09b']Attach files

That was a pot I had that was the same value but didn't have pcb mounts. It's connected to the board with some of the extra lead bits clipped off of capacitors. I am thinking of just pulling it out and using a proper pcb mount pot. It is wired the same as the input jack but rotated a bit. I...

Well this was the first build. I initially had some output but the pedal was way too quiet overall. I turned a few knobs and then it completely stopped outputting sound. I was using a crappy iron for most of this. The level pot might be the issue.
