Thank you @owlexifry for the demo! Nicely played :) Made me want to try this pedal instantly. I had never heard of the pedal before. Was this hard to solder for you? For me soldering all the grounds was hard. As if these holes were connected to one massive ground plane that sucked most of the...

The rest looks fine. I'd just go and get some isopropyl alcohol and carefully use a brush to remove the flux residue without the alcohol getting into the pots. Double-check the solder points to make sure there are no bridges.

You seem to have the cables to the input and output jacks reversed. Ground seems connected to the jack tips.

Hi all, Just a cautionary tale. I built the Tso last weekend and I had two XVIVE vactrols that I had ordered for the build. I plugged the LED side of the vactrols in my tester. One of them measured like my green (non-clear) LEDs, fine. The other measured differently every time I hit the test...

Hi all! Just finished my FV-1 devel board. Plugged it in, worked fine right off the bat. Dumping and writing EEPROMs works, no problem. Thank you Robert for the PCB and everything and the quick delivery!!! Kind regards, Seb

R50 is the resistor for the power LED. Default is 4k7. You can raise it to bring down the brightness. Maybe just try different resistors with a battery and another blue LED if you have that lying around. I think 20k should do it. Regarding short mode. You should be able to clearly hear the...

Thanks Robert! Does the Modulated patch use randomization? In any case, I tried a few commercial digital pedals in the past and the only one I really like is my Whammy. And now I have two digital pedals I really like :) Even crazier is that the Unison after my Whammy makes the Whammy sound...

Hi all, I got a Unison PCB from Robert with a pre-soldered FV-1. I had read that it's the greatest pedal from PedalPCB :cool: Not sure that's a fair statement, because that'd be comparing apples to oranges. Anyway, I had to try it. I really like the "Dual Detune" setting (switch upward), it's...

I don't want to come off as super lazy, but would you please share the decal with me, too? :)

Dragons Breath Boost Only thing is it should probably be put right next to your guitar, first in your chain. I guess you can still put your tuner in front of it if it has real true bypass. It's a great boost.

Hi there, I recently wanted to build something similar, a loop selector. Like the MXR M-144, but better :) I found the website "General Guitar Gadgets". They have a shop, too, but they also have lots of schematics/instructions on how to wire up all sorts of switchers. The one I used for the...

Not sure that's accurate. Doing some web searches it seems to me that JB sold Amptweaker in 2020, or maybe a little earlier. But the original TM Pro's manual has a JB signature and the PDF is dated 2013. It also says "handmade in USA". So the Pro, in my opinion, was done by JB. The Pro II came...

In the end it didn't pan out. The Pro clone just doesn't sound as enticing as the "small" TM. See FSB thread. I even found somebody there who also wasn't happy with it either. Edit: Well, honestly he was the one who initially said that something is a bit off with the Pro clone. And only...

Yes Phil, agreed. I've put the Aion IVP with all the loops into a 1590DD. But the IVP has only two loops, whereas this pedal has one more. And obviously you still need input, output and 9V. I think it'd be really tricky to fit this into a 1590DD. But the loops are really providing a lot of...

Hi Phil & everybody, I finished the Solid Metal Pro a few days ago. It's amazing, I have to say. For starters it sounds good, as expected when you know the "small" version already. Now there are three controls for the EQ instead of just one. And you have two more controls for the gate (a pot...

I ordered a DSO154PRO, too, after seeing a shootout of some of these on youtube. Part 1 Part 2 There's apparently two versions, 1M and 18M or something. I think the 18M comes with a better probe (10:1?). Anyway, I'm waiting for it to arrive. Hope I can wrap my head around it once it's here.

There's a quick comparison between Ember and Solid Metal in Musikding forum. Link Maybe you can run it through a translator if you're interested.

Tight Metal is my favorite as well. I built both Aion's and PCB Mania's version of it. I built a lot of other distortions as well, but the TM beats them all in my opinion. I'm currently waiting for the PCB Mania Solid Metal Pro PCB to arrive in my mailbox. I hope to be able to get the side track...

Thanks for the heads-up. I just snatched the last Black Eye kit :)

Thanks for the tips regarding Vp and Idss! I finished one of these bad boys yesterday (with stock values) and it's easily one of my favorite distortion pedals. Like Temol I like it more gainy, so 1987 mode it is for me, but the other two sound great as well. And I love how the pedal cleans up...
