I always thought this pedal sounded great with gain low, but kind of woofy/farty with the gain up. I had thought that maybe it was an issue with my pedal, but then after watching some high profile you-tubers demo the pedal, I concluded it actually sounds that way. My point is check if it's...

Although I prefer MLCC when I have them, I see less selection of values than ceramic discs (at least at Tayda where I do most of my shopping), so still end up using quite a few ceramic disc capaciters. I tend to not worry about tolerances for several reasons: pedals aren't high precision...

If this is true, I feel pretty good about getting my order in--I was sitting on that order since november, and these threads about tarriffs finally got me nervous enough to act on it. I thought we no longer have a beef with every country, but who knows, it seems to be a fluid situation.

Another confirmation of order received with no tarriff (well under de minimis).

what is the difference between a pen style iron and your weller? maybe I don't know what pen style means-

Are you about to purchase a 25W solder? If you are, I'd recommend spending a bit more to get a soldering station. There's at least one other thread here full of iron recommendations, with the Hakkos and Wellers being well respected. Their irons are usually around 65-70W and you'll have a much...

are those really 1590xx? they look like the xx width, but a shorter height. Looks like a bit more compact, which is nice for a dual pedal.

I use a handsaw. Wear a mask, you don't want to breathe fiberglass dust. Still comes out rough though, and sandpaper fixes that.

I have a Tayda order ready to go this week, so was wondering the same. 🤞

It's like the holiday announcement. Once it's up, it can't come down.

The Kester stuff happens to smell better than others I've tried. Probably tastes better if you're so inclined.

great thread. I've been wanting to do my own layout for a while but never seem to find the time, but I'm learning a lot just from following this. @Stickman393 your latest layout looks so much slicker than the first one

Chase tone sells a good pedal at a reasonable price, but the copy on the web page does seem very snake-oilish. But, it does look like they have used carbon film before too, so it could just be that they've switched it up and didn't change the page.

Very cool, hope you get it to work.

isn't a big deal? I think it you put it backwards it would mess with my mind

I was thinking of doing something similar, but with using a switched jacks to control the bypass. i.e. route the signal from the unicab to phone amp through a switched line-out jack. when a line out is plugged in, the tip switch disconnects the headphone amp and the signal is straight from the...

What's with the missing 100R resistor?

I don't think you read my original post then :). I have the original chase tone too. On the original, if you start at off (7 o'clock), you get a gradual increase as you turn it up, reaching unity around 9-10 o'clock. On the one I built, it's off at 7 o'clock, and then above unity at 7:15...

It had problems getting measurements with most transistors I tried in it, even ones I knew were good because I pulled them from working circuits. For resistors and caps I use my multimeter--I bought it only for the transistor measurements.

That makes me sad. I may have got a bad one, but when I tried a TC-1 it was absolute junk.
