Building the Kinetic fuzz and didn't catch that C2 (470n) is labeled as polarized on the board and schematic (but not in the parts list, maybe worth a note). Is the polarized cap totally necessary? or can I sub a 470n film cap?

This is how I got a few original MN3005 for an analog delay build.. by pulling them out of a few DOD FX96 that were beat to hell. That was only a few years ago. Remember when you could get crappy old pedals (even those with good chips in them) for like $35? Now even those are over $100 on...

Would something like these work for the headers? Their height is 10.5mm if fully pushed together. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/649-78229-102HLF https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/649-76308-102LF

+1, would love to get a parts list if nothing else

One thing I hadn't seen mentioned about this pedal, is that it can produce very sitar-like tones. With the low-pass gate (in my case SILT) in the right spot, I get a blooming twang very similar to sitar. And the random modulator can sound like bends or slides that are typical to sitar playing (I...

Yes. It is actually mentioned on the product page at lovemyswitches... 13mm from bottom of knob to top of set screws (A slightly longer pot shaft length than typical is necessary for these knobs. Check yer measurements!) There may be a 1/4" pot with long shafts out there that would work but I...

I originally got the pots from Mouser but the 10k is out of stock. Newark has 2 of the 3 types, but you'd still have to go to Mouser for the 250k. I can't find any vendor with all three types. They're knurled shaft so you'd need an adapter to use 1/4" knobs (got mine at Love My Switches) BTW the...

Thanks all. I've got big plans using the letter punch art for an upcoming build. :cool:

I finished the enclosure for my Low Tide. I got a cheap metal stamp set with the intention of approximating Fairfield's aesthetic but with a more creative, conceptual design concept. So I came up with the Estuary. An estuary, if you don't know is a term for an area where a river's fresh water...

I built my Duocast using a 1590BBS enclosure printed by Tayda. It took some ingenuity to fit in the smaller enclosure. I used Panasonic FC electrolytics like Hudson uses. They're a little big so some were turned on their side, one was put on the bottom of the board. This worked out actually...

That's where I'm stumped. The hiss behavior when I AM playing is kind of like what you all are describing. But the hiss keeps coming/going randomly even when I'm not playing.

That didn't seem to change anything. 6 of one, half dozen of the other situation. Hiss definitely increases with depth. It's harder to tell with skew. Hiss goes away with mix fully CCW.

It doesn't seem to be a BBD issue. The one in there is an original Panasonic MN3207 that I used without issue in a different build. I swapped in a BL3207 from Banzai just to check, and there was no change.

That said...I'm still super interested to understand why the hiss is way more obvious in my build than the original. Any ideas? 🙏

Hmm, that is not what I'm experiencing. I'm getting a white noise that drifts in and out in a random way, not only after I play. It's there whether I'm playing or not and doesn't go away. Revisiting some Youtube demos, I can sort of hear a similar behavior, just less pronounced than mine. I...

Here's the top. I'm not interested in trying to photo the underside at the moment...the double-gang pot can't be lifted up, nor can the one next to it (not very far anyway), so I won't be able to show every joint. And in general I don't want to bend all the other pots up and take 10 photos to...

I'm away tonight but will try to put pics up soon...everything functions properly aside from the hiss so I didn't think it would be a "visible" problem like a solder bridge or whatever. I'm using a 1 Spot CS12 power supply, it's isolated and very quiet. The Low Tide is on its own output, not...

I finished my Low Tide build and it worked straight away. But there is some fairly loud hiss. Not constant, but coming and going with the wobble. The BIAS trim doesn't have much effect on the hiss. The Shallow Water does not seem to hiss like this from the demos I've watched. any ideas ?

Yes indeed, soft touch from LMS. They're great and no more expensive than Alpha.

This is a Tayda printed enclosure. As for the design, I was thinking of the 80s, as inspired by the original maker "1981". Of course the colors reflect this but I also used an altered version of the old Screen Gems logo and the Serpentine font (also used by Nintendo). I was going for that...
