Is this not something that could be corrected by straightening the pots into a line after soldering? Have you seen how Analogman mounts the King of Tone? They'll bend without breaking.

There were t-shirts too.

Yes, it's a little more difficult, but it should be possible.

I miss it so badly. 😭

Yeah I was planning to pull out the toggle to try running them in parallel with a single blend control. Since you mentioned splitting the tone control, it'd actually be cool to split all three controls.... Then you could mix with the volume controls as well.

It's a tilt EQ.

Hmm... I'll have to go look, I mix and match them without any thought and haven't had any issues personally... Every now and then folks show up with those 16mm pots with slightly shorter legs, they're obviously a problem but I have no idea where they are coming from. I'm not exactly gentle...

I built a Triangle / Mascis (and I believe that's a Rams Head) variant to test the PCB, just because the values looked different enough to not be subtle. It was not subtle. :ROFLMAO: The Mascis sounds neutered compared to the low end of the triangle.

I've seen that happen to folks but I can't explain why unless they're mixing 6mm and 6.35mm shafts.

Keystone 628 https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Keystone-Electronics/628?qs=TMDrOSIpnUcIXKaEACBScA%3D%3D https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/628/ @Bricksnbeatles is right, EQD is using the 629. The 628 takes up less PCB real estate:

Yes, that's exactly what happened. This was corrected back in July but it looks like my first batch of boards with incorrect silkscreen didn't get trashed. You are correct, C20 should be 10uF, C21 should be 1uF.

Interesting. Give me just a bit to see what's going on there.

How many do you need? I probably have a couple.

I have to wonder if it's sometimes not so much about the value of the part that is being faked, but just a way to get rid of some less desirable stock by passing it off as something more desirable. A quick pass on the laser and those dusty old NTSC decoders are flying off the shelves again...

Adding to this.... I think the idea is that when you buy from less reputable sources you're more likely to get fakes or rejects from someone who has sorted out all the good ones. Then there's proper storage, handling, etc... The truth is, even the good ones are noisy.

I can't say I've ever gotten a dud or unusable PT2399 either, but I haven't built swarms of them and have probably recycled the same IC through every single one. :ROFLMAO:

I suppose they could be sorted for low noise, but unless that is specifically stated somewhere (along with some criteria) then probably not. I'd plaster it in bold if I took the time to do it. :ROFLMAO: I think the main benefit of buying from one of the "little guys" as opposed to Tayda / LCSC...

I doubt LCSC is sourcing them from eBay.
