Firstly, what is the suggested method to removing the PCB from the board that it comes in? I don't want to harm anything. Also, Robert mentioned the pedal running at 18v. Does that mean that I need to connect this pedal to an 18v power supply, or that it runs at 18v internally with a charge pump?

Nope, I pretty much gave up on it. Sorry.

How do I short the audio input? I biased my mofeta to 4.25v without the short and there was probably some signal coming through, it doesn’t sound great.

Why the SMD J201 if you don’t mind me asking? It seems like everyone here uses the SMD over the thru-hole. I ordered some thru-holes for my boogie monster, should I reconsider?

That’s great! They just don’t have any information on their website on how to do so with their boards, but I will try and find out how to wire it. I’ve been spoiled by PPCB.

UPDATE I finally got my pcbs in the mail! However, I didn’t not get any of the free breakout boards promised, nor did I recive the pack of 5 that I ordered separately. There is no information on their website on how to wire the footswitch without these boards, so the pcbs I did order are totally...

Hello again, I’ve been looking to up my enclosure game. Thus far I’ve used rattle cans and posca markers with some success, but it’s far too dependent on the weather for a decent result, and the markers are far too fat to label and knobs. My favriote enclosures that I’ve seen on the build...

I ordered the Pharaoh clone, Modded black hole clone, Quantum mystic clone, and most importantly the GT120MV clone. I saw that good ol dan posted a video built report of the Pharaoh and it sounded good.

Hello again, today I spent some of my bonus on 5 cool new pcbs from guitarpcbmania, specifically ones that I couldn’t find a replacement for anywhere else. I then stupidly proceeded to order all the parts I needed for them. After all this is said and done, I come on here to see people saying to...

Sorry for the late replies. It’s just a basic 1spot power supply, but I tried it with my friends MXR isobrick and it was just about the same.

Yes I have, but there aren’t any “solved” threads on this issue. It seems to me like it’s probably an issue involving the expression jacks, so the next step will be to uninstall them and replace with jumpers. Another piece of advice I’ve seen is to use shielded wire, so if I can get my hands on...

I should probably also mention that I installed the expression jacks, so maybe that could be where some of the noise is coming from. I’ll take pictures when I get off work.

Hello again, today I spent my day off building a chaos machine. Unfortunately there’s a constant “whooshing” sound coming from the lfo, even with the guitar disconnected. The higher the mix and resonance is turned up the louder it gets. It seems like I’m not the only one who’s had this issue...

Ah I see. Is the bus wire the wire going to the audio jack? If so it’s not touching that, it just kind of looks that way in the pic. Unfortunately another result of a bad picture, the legs are positioned correctly.

Hello, I have been struggling to get my parentheses mini working. A bit of background, when I first plugged the pedal in there was a wiring issue with the rat side causing the signal to cut out when I wasn’t holding the footswitch in a sweet spot. However, when the signal came through, it...

I’m going to build you a shrine decorated with your stickers. A true legend.

You are truly the greatest of all time. I need something with some leakage, but I’m really not sure how much is too much or too little. Is .199 considered “leaky”? I’m leaning towards the first on the list.

I probably won’t need many, this is the only project I’ve been looking at that has GE transistors. I’m hoping to find something useable from stompboxparts, but it’s not looking good considering I need something with some leakage.

So I'm still a little confused about what to order. Are you saying I should just pick a random NPN ge transistor and see if it works? That seems like it would get expensive fast. Should I just buy a random part number and cross my fingers?

Hello, I'm back again to ask for help with sourcing some parts for my next few builds. I was hoping to get some help sourcing / substituting some parts. I wanted to get the order in today to smallbear to make use of the sale. Thanks in advance. For Q2 on the War Scythe, it lists AC176. I can't...
