    Compulsive/ generated need buying from Das Musikding: was a mistake?

    I ordered from Musikding last on the 30th and got an email that it was shipped on the 6th. But I also did have a kit that took a long time to get shipped a while back - I emailed them and IIRC there was a part missing which caused the delay. If it has been two weeks, I would suggest emailing...

    Wiring up a fuzzdog pcb to a PPCB 3pdt board?

    In, out and ground as normal. Voltage is a bit different since I assume you would wire the DC jack 9V to both the Voltage on the board, and also to a resistor, then a LED, and from the LED to the SW pad on the daughterboard (technically I think it doesn't matter that much if you go 9V -> LED ->...

    SOLVED Viceroy very low gain

    I put in PF5102's that I ordered from Retroamplis which just now arrived, and even though they were pretty expensive since I didn't need anything else, I can happily say I now consider this pedal fixed. It still feels a bit weird with the level and gain controls, at least compared to most other...

    Even more new Tayda colors!

    Hmm, some sort of black and slightly off-white "Ye Olde Adrian's Snake Oil Overdrive" made to look like a bottle label might work with for the Guardian I have in my backlog, or something along those lines:unsure: (nothing against ThorpyFX or the pedal, it was just the first one in my backlog...

    Even more new Tayda colors!

    Looks great, but it looks almost... leathery? Or maybe amber-y? I assume it looks a bit more sparkly in person? But anyway it looks cool, might try that in the next batch!

    EffectsBakery Butter Roll Vibe whine (Solved)

    Sorry I can't help you, although having some sort of small extra-filtering board might be cool at least to slap into a very small enclosure and test if it helps noise with other pedals - so I might be interested in the principle of what might help. Thanks a lot for checking what it's based on...

    Is it the same as the fuzz cadet?

    Did I set up this PDF correctly for Tayda UV printing?

    Did you intentionally leave the faun warrior out of the white layer? It was in the original, so that might be a mistake. Or at least that's how my browser is showing it.

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    Best I could find for AM151 is that it might be a bridge rectifier diode, and here could be an alternative https://www.newark.com/multicomp-pro/w01g/diode-bridge-rect-1-ph-100v-th/dp/99AC4581?rpsku=rel3:AM151&isexcsku=false which does look sort of similar. But I could also be very wrong, and I...

    Foxx Tone Machines - Why No Bias or Starve?

    No, that's how it works, but I just meant that it's a little simpler if you do resistors in series and caps in parallel because you don't need to calculate anything more than A + B. But it's not really an issue at all, just use what you have and do the calculations for parallel resistors.

    Foxx Tone Machines - Why No Bias or Starve?

    For a cap I'd go with a SPDT on/off/on tbh since like I said, parallel is easier in that case, but a DPDT would also work. Yep, I forget which one is more common but it could very well be Type 2, and yeah I would go lug 3 & 4 in that case.

    Foxx Tone Machines - Why No Bias or Starve?

    Tbh I would argue that using a DPDT is simpler because you could wire it so that you always just have one resistor, which makes it a little bit simpler - you pick three resistors and get those values in each position. To elaborate, using the type 1 diagram I would put one resistor between lugs...

    Moonn Electronics Fuzzhead stoner bee build docs

    FWIW every time I've ordered from Moonn I think it has taken a very long time, but everything eventually arrives.

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    That's a good point, at this stage it has been unplugged for weeks I think, so I'm fairly sure it's all drained, but like you said - it's a good habit to develop (and practice with something where I probably won't get a shock even if I mess it up a little). I probably wouldn't have tried this...

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    Thanks, I'll test that out at some point. I already have a new power supply so I'm in no rush, but it would be nice to fix it.

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    Thank you! I also used the contact form to contact them, but they never replied to me - which is fine, as my unit is out of warranty by multiple years. But it would have been nice to hear something back. Anyway, I'll give those steps a try! Did I get it right, one faulty output diode (of a...

    A simple Relay Bypass

    FWIW, I noticed the 47nF version did not start on-at-power up when I used an old Boss 9V power supply, but it happens consistently with the bigger power supply on my pedalboard. So YMMV, I guess that's part of the "balancing" approach Chuck mentioned. If you get the caps right for your power...

    Pedal companies that also sell pcbs/kits? (Frost Giant, EAE, Catalinbread,GCI)

    Oh boy, I looked at the Glue Fuzz and it seems really interesting, but the PCB + enclosure is pretty expensive and tbh the PCB itself looks... rudimentary, to put it nicely.

    A simple Relay Bypass

    Oh, so it is a sort of a tradeoff? Bypass on at power on because fixing it would require multiple parts? In that case, I can live with it (or, well, I'm planning to probably sell these off, but I doubt it will be unbearable for the buyer). I wouldn't do all my pedals with these though, because...

    A simple Relay Bypass

    I've built up two of szukalski's Simple Relay Board v1.1's now, which are identical to the original schematic here. Both have an issue where they turn automatically on when I plug in the power - any idea what could be causing that or how to fix it? I increased C2 to 47nF in the second one...
