    What Pedalpcb circuits that are RAT based and what's your favorite?

    I don't think I've actually owned any stock RAT's, but I do have a Life Pedal clone (built by someone on Etsy) and a 1981 DRV that I built myself. Not a fan of either one. My favourite is definitely the Rat Salad, but I'm not sure if there are any boards available, I don't know if @steviejr92...

    Moonn Space Is Fun - Deluxe Edition

    I've read a sentiment along the lines of "you could probably fix the pedal if you wanted, but at that point why not just design a better pedal instead?" about this schematic. I definitely agree that the dry path being so dark sucks, and the distortion being very ugly (and loud). But the build...

    Skreddy Fuzz Driver

    Note, it's called the Fuzz Driver and it's different from the Hybrid Fuzz Driver. Anyone know what this is? Is it some ancient Skreddy pedal, or just something else that was mislabeled? http://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2019/09/skreddy-fuzz-driver.html...

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    Just to verify for anyone who might run into this issue in the future, after changing the diode I get a steady 9.43 volts or so from all of the outputs (same as the ones that already worked before). Like I said, I don't think I have any way to test for ripple or anything like that, but I'll try...

    ‘Thanks Giving’ sale

    Hmm, so it means it might be available during this sale? I don't want to pressure you, it takes what it takes (especially since I know there's holiday celebrations in the US for a lot of people), just curious.

    Website “ReCapcha Verification Failed” error

    Ok, I suspect there's something on my end then - it has been going on for a couple of weeks now, and right now as I'm trying to reply to you, the first time I clicked reply I just got the spinning bar up top, and after a while it disappeared and nothing happened. Now I can reply just fine and it...

    Website “ReCapcha Verification Failed” error

    Just checking in, is this issue still on, or am I having a personal issue? Both the store and the forums sometimes fail to load for me, I get endless spinners (or whatever the top bar that moves is called) or I get a error. If I wait a few seconds it works and feels very snappy, so it's very...

    All Time Most Bestest Favoritest Chorus You Have Owned , Played or Heard?

    I like a more subtle chorus, so my favourite is probably ITB versions of Dimension D, presumably the closest pedal one would be the DC-2W?

    I want to change led's position

    The simplest way is probably to just move the hole there yourself (you can just figure out some numbers where it looks nice, maybe make the vertical position same as the footswitch so it looks neat) and run wires from the LED hole. The other option is to jumper the LED holes and run a wire from...

    Resistor wattage and lead spacing

    FWIW I've built a couple of those boards with 1/4 watt resistors, they're pretty easy to get there using the lean-to method.

    Tayda order - EU Customs process

    A few disclaimers though - the 150€ thing was only once mentioned to me by phone by a person on the customs help line, I didn't bother looking it up myself, and the customs site sucks for looking up the actual items - I always just use the "resistor, metal, less than 20W" or whatever it was...

    Tayda order - EU Customs process

    If you're in Finland, in my experience they literally send you a text message with a link where you will pick if you wish to do the declaration yourself or use their service. If you're not, I assume none of that happens because nobody else seems to be doing it? So it's possible that it's...

    Tayda order - EU Customs process

    I'm sorry I can't help with your specific issue, but to explain why there aren't more horror stories, for example for me I get the option to choose between having DHL do the customs process for me, or doing it myself. I do it myself since in Finland as long as the total value is under 150€, I...

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    Hmm, yeah, that sounds like a good idea - but no, I just have the bare minimum of multimeters (no connectivity beeper mode either, I just use the lowest resistance to check for connections) and nothing better.

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    It took me a while to get around to it, but I finally got working on this. And the issue was exactly as you described! D301 was shorted, I desoldered it and the rest of the outputs came back to life. I have no way of checking for ripple, but I won't use it until I get a replacement part. The old...

    125B PedalPCB Sandblaster Fuzz

    https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=NHhqd1kwNW5uemlwVWxtZENXOURHdz09Cg== Verified I compared the 4 knob template (Son of Ben) to the Sandblaster build docs and it seems that they match up, except the LED hole is a switch, there's an another switch, and a led hole lower down...

    Stiff pots?

    Not really directly pedal related, but it could be. A volume pot on one of my guitars is pretty stiff. I'm wondering if there's some tried and true method to fix it? What I found by googling is letting the pot soak in lighter fluid overnight, but that seems kinda overkill, plus I would need to...

    Son Of Ben Q2 Bias Question - affected by gain knob?

    I'm sorry, the best I can do is "I think I read once in some instructions to bias the pedal with knobs turned to certain positions, one of which might have been a drive or fuzz with the gain turned up, but I'm not sure". Hopefully someone can actually chime in with some actual knowledge.
