Looking for suggestions for some PedalPCB reverb and/or delay pedals. I've only built overdrives and distortions up until now and I'm ready to branch out now that I got the FX loop of my JCM repaired. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.

Generally speaking, pF will be ceramic(MLCC if possible), nF film caps(boxes preferred when possible), and uF polarized electrolytic caps. This is not a hard rule though and if the bill of materials doesn't specify, make sure you look at the picture of the board in the build docs and...

This is the only non-PedalPCB build I've done so far other than my first pedal kit. Fun easy build, but I didn't realize the ground and switch pads are reversed compared to PedalPCB boards, so I had to re-do that. Socketed a few components since the build docs had different values for one of the...

Good job it looks sick! Love my Promethium, it was my first PedalPCB build actually. I own an original 80's HM-2 and it is the most accurate sounding clone I've tried. It's a lot less noisy also which doesn't hurt.

I have a TC/33/grind clone and a clean boost isn't enough assuming the amp is similar to an unmodded JCM800. I guess it depends on how much distortion you want, but it didn't do it for me with my JCM as far as metal tones go. My vote for the OP would be to build a Promethium and a Tryian so you...

Nothing is jumping out to me at first glance but it is hard to tell. Got a probe or a breadboard and an extra jack to make one? Definitely start with cleaning and reflowing everything though.

Haven't built my Dwarven Hammer yet but I've looked at the schematics and the hammer is just a tubescreamer with extra adjustment, so they are two completely different things. Hammer is used more as a overdrive/mid hump boost into a high gain amp where tyrian/sanguine are more like amps in a box.

Haha this place isn't as bad as that! I was exaggerating a bit for sure, but anyway I'm just glad they are there. I got 60/40 again and it is something I never, but probably should have looked into. I guess 63/37 solidifies quicker from what I just read.

I just grabbed some MG solder and tip tinner today at Microcenter, which is apparently at the only place in the area that sells solder still that isn't garbage or lead-free. Honestly forgot that place existed, idk if anyone else lives near one, but the one closest to me always felt dirty and is...

Looks great! Been thinking about building one of these, it seems very useful.

Good looking build! The art turned out really well too.

Some random stuff I got on amazon in a pinch called Hebraeos. I guess that's what I get for buying cheapo solder on amazon. However, the last spool was from amazon too and the brand was Austor. Loved it, never had a problem.

It was fine but I’m pretty sure this new solder ruined it. It is turning blue now and doesn’t seem to want to tin easily. Tried a new tip and the same thing happened. Turned blue! I’m very confused but have new tips and my old brand back on the way. The solder doesn’t seem to tin the tip very...

I finally ran out of my good ole roll of solder I got in July and replaced it with a different brand with the same specs. 60/40 SN/PB, 0.8mm, 2% flux. Nothing else has changed and I have a high-quality iron. For some reason, all my joints are dulling like they are cold with this different brand...

Glad you got it working! Sometimes the solution is so simple it often gets overlooked. What did you use for the bottom tread part?

As an experiment, I just played through my old 10" Marshall MG practice amp (that I passionately despise the sound of) plugged into the emulated headphone output and this pedal turned it into a warm cranked tube amp to my ears. This build was actually for someone else, but luckily I ordered 2...

That stinks I definitely wont be getting one that doesn't work for etching mask. Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you! I'm excited to try another one soon especially after the positive feedback.

Thanks, I'm going to ditch the vinegar. Do you have a preferred brand of paper for waterslides? My last batch came all bent up and I'm a little skeptical of the brand in general.

Good to know. I have access to an HP inkjet that works decently well most of the time, but it is a shared printer. I want the laser for toner transfer etching and it sounds like it cuts down the process of decal making a little since you don't have to seal the ink. Also the no-film waterslides...
