    How do you typically Clean flux from PCB

    I like to use the MG Chemicals remover as well Amazon Link Scrub it with anti-static brushes Amazon Link 2 Then finish it off with IPA and a separate brush. It's pricey and probably not worth it but it does look good and helps if I need to troubleshoot.

    Aion FX Plexus Overdrive

    I used 2N5457s. According to the build doc, the 2N5457s are less gain-y and compressed than the J201s.

    Aion FX Plexus Overdrive

    Probably the Golden Falk. Then the M800.

    Aion FX Plexus Overdrive

    Update: I rerouted both input and output jacks from underneath the board and the squealing is gone! I'm thinking because of having the i/o jacks so close to the SMD Jfets it was likely causing extra noise. Shielded wire may help a bit more but for know I'm happy with it. Thanks again @Brett for...

    Aion FX Plexus Overdrive

    Nice. Glad you got inspired to jam on it. The high gain hiss is pretty normal but mine does squeal in drive is cranked. I'm almost certain i can remedy this though. Either way it rocks

    Aion FX Plexus Overdrive

    Good call and good points. I think I will try rerouting those I/O wires first. Easy first step. Thanks!

    Aion FX Plexus Overdrive

    This is the Brown Sound in a Box 2. A circuit that came from the DIY community. I love Marshall tones so I had to build this one. It's not my favorite Marshall AIAB but it's pretty cool. My only complaint is that it is super noisy. I can't turn the drive knob up over 3/4 of the way or it...

    Fuzzy Fox Midrange Mod

    I am curious about adding the midrange mod to the PPCB Fuzzy Fox board. Aion FX includes this on their Vulcan board, so I'd like to transpose this on the PPCB version. There is no schematic for the PPCB Fuzzy Fox. Below is the Aion schematic with the midrange switch cropped out. Can someone...

    Muffin Crumb Tone Stage question

    Making it switchable is a great idea. I didn't think of that. Thanks!

    Muffin Crumb Tone Stage question

    I want to incorporate a Muffin Crumb Tone Control and the Muffin Crumb Amplifier stage (for tone recovery). What is the best order for these? Tone stage before the main PCB or after? And tone recovery right after the tone stage? Or if the tone stage goes before the main PCB, does the recovery...

    My LBD - Modified PPCB NuDrive

    Hell yeah. Nice build. I really enjoyed the write up. Where did you get your NuTube if you don't mind me asking?

    Well, does it chug?? Nice build.🔥 Edit: I'm high and just saw the video 10 seconds after I posted. My question was answered. Yes, indeed it chugs.

    Effects Layouts Distortion Supreme

    Thanks dude. Oh yeah I probably should have mentioned what it was haha. Good call. You might dig this one. I think I remember seeing some of your demos of some high gain stuff that sounded killer. Not to say the MD is or isn't killer. It's one of those "not for everybody but can sound good if...

    Effects Layouts Distortion Supreme

    Thanks, Matt. And thanks for sharing that visualized link. I haven't seen it. That was a cool read. Artwork is just laser white wasterslide decal. I have access to a really nice color Laser printer so it can look pretty good. I always loved the asthetic of those original Mega Man games. Great...

    Effects Layouts Distortion Supreme

    I believe this is the board that @Guardians of the analog traced that EL finally put the board out for. I haven't confirmed this yet though. I'm pretty sure I had one of these at some point trying to get that Korn sound. It's a pretty cool distortion pedal. No clipping diodes. Loads of gain...

    Yes, that is the correct wiring.

    NO LEDS Byrd Box and PCB594 Breakout

    If you use the LED on the breakout board, you will have to jumper the LED pads on the PCB. Like below.
