    Film Cap Polarity?

    It’s an Aion Electronics op-amp Big Muff pcb (Corvus.) Maybe marked that way on the pcb in case of a non-film cap—even though build docs call out 1uF film?

    Film Cap Polarity?

    I'm building a circuit that calls for 1uF film caps. The circuit is marked with +/- polarity, but I thought film caps don't have polarity. Is that true? Thanks!

    Reverb with Momentary Feedbacker?

    Cool! Found it. I've never built a veroboard pedal before. Maybe this will be my first.

    Reverb with Momentary Feedbacker?

    Thanks! Yeah, I think the key to me would be the distortion on the decay (either as a momentary feedback switch, or on a knob.) It's why I really like the DBA Reverberation machine and Solidgoldfx Counter Current. I have a Rubberneck delay that will add regen to the repeats, but it doesn't...

    Reverb with Momentary Feedbacker?

    Thanks—great info! So is the Dwell knob on the Spirit Box the same as the distortion on the Reverberation Machine and other Belton brick delays? Meaning: can I get that beautiful saturation with the swell, or would I need to mod the circuit?

    Reverb with Momentary Feedbacker?

    Yeah, I think you're right about the belton brick. Seems like the thing I've been searching for. The Reverberation Machine gets some of the same sounds. But if I tried to mod the Spirit Box, would I need the 10-pin versus the 6-pin? PCB is for 6-pin? Is the Dwell control on the Spirit Box...

    Reverb with Momentary Feedbacker?

    I'm curious if anyone has built (or if there's a PCB for) something similar to the "havoc" switch on the Caroline Meteore or the "feedback" switch on the Solidgold Counter Current? I'd love to build a clean reverb that I can force into lo-fi feedback in some way. Thoughts?

    What’s the difference between red, green, purple?

    Best tight high gain PCB?

    Ok, so the Sanguine is a red channel distortion based on the Revv G4 (in turn maybe based on the Bogner Ecstacy red channel.) What is a purple channel (Tyrian)? Revv G3?

    Best tight high gain PCB?

    is it based on the red channel of the Bogner Ecstacy?

    What Kind of Socket for a Diode?

    If I do this method, can I solder the stub lead to the diode lead once I find the one I like? I guess my noob question is: can a lead wire be soldered to another lead wire without loss of signal? Maybe this is an obvious yes.

    Op-Amp Muff? PedalPCB Dream vs. Aion Corvus

    I want to build an op-amp Big Muff next. Has anyone built both the PedalPCB Dream Fuzz and the Aion Corvus? Any thoughts? Are they identical?

    What Kind of Socket for a Diode?

    If I want to socket two diodes in the Parentheses Mini Fuzz, what kind of socket should I buy? Considering using a set of 1n60p Schottkys instead of the Ge diodes here. Thanks!

    Magnetron Tape Echo Simulator (Halogen Wolf)

    Thanks! So is the Level knob in this pedal a wet-signal (delay) volume knob, and the dry signal remains constant? What I'm looking for, then, would be a louder final wet signal. I have another delay that allows me to go full wet (cuts the dry altogether). I love it, because I can use it all...

    parentheses mini fuzz, only sound out of rat side, V quiet.

    Normally you use the 3pdt breakout board so that you don't have to solder to the switch lugs themselves. You just solder to the pads labeled in/out/sw./etc. Much easier. Looks like you purchased the breakout boards but then soldered according to the wiring diagram instead? Also, your soldering...

    Magnetron Tape Echo Simulator (Halogen Wolf)

    Thanks! I will try it. what do you think it would take to add a wet/dry knob to this circuit? Would it involve retooling the circuit itself?

    Magnetron Tape Echo Simulator (Halogen Wolf)

    My eighth build, the fifth from PedalPCB. Sounds amazing. Here's a sample. I changed the name to the Halogen Wolf Decay Delay. Part of the fun for me in building pedals is naming and creating graphics. The build went smoothly. I made a few small mods to the pedal. I added the Gain trimmer as a...

    Can’t stop, won’t stop - Hydra Delay

    How does the sound compare to the Magnetron, for anyone who's built both?
