Look, I'm just glad he didn't immediately jump to blaming the PCB..... :ROFLMAO: 👏

If it works out of the enclosure but doesn't work when you put it back in the enclosure something is making contact with something it shouldn't. The most likely cause is a component lead touching the back of one of the pots. When it's out of the enclosure the pots aren't grounded and are...

If you're shopping, pay attention to the range of speeds as well. My only complaint about the Harbor Freight model is that it's still moving pretty damned fast on it's slowest setting. (adjustable by moving belts) Here I come, with the top down!

Keep your leads in the left/center eyelets (don't move them) and measure both conditions again.

I'm pretty sure it came in two or three pieces, but yeah, it'd take a pretty hefty box to ship. And yes, I believe it's a Central Machinery. My big one has a crank for the table, but man I miss the simplicity of just loosening the clamp and sliding it up and down.

You could have my old one but it'd probably cost more to ship it than it would to just buy a new one.

I used a little cheapo Harbor Freight drill press for years. Every BuGGFX pedal was drilled with it. Every PCB I've ever etched was drilled with it. I upgraded to a much larger floor model but aside from being able to fit larger enclosures, there's really no advantage aside from a little...

Randomly, yes. Blindly, not always. (Impedance, levels, etc)

Increase the value of R14, or make it a trimmer.

Have you used your Auditorium with other builds successfully? (Just want to make sure it's not the issue) Do you have a DMM to take some continuity measurements? If so, make sure no traces are damaged from removing that capacitor.

TL072 / RC4558 will work perfectly fine. It may or may not sound identical, but it'll help you identify (or eliminate) your opamps as the problem.

The Dude is probably my favorite JRockett pedal, it does sound really dang good. With that said, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it's just an ODR-1 and Blue Note in series. 🤣

Let's start with the easiest stuff first... Did the LED light up? Where did you get those MC33178 opamps? Now I want to mount a battery on my Auditoriums..... :unsure:

The Distortron manual used to recommend running it into a JTM45 for the most authentic "Marshall" sound...... :cautious: I gotta admit he's right, my JTM45 sounded just like a JTM45, even when the pedal was bypassed. Any chance you could point me to those pics? I just want a peek.... I'm...

If you run into that issue again you can mount them vertically using right angle pins (or rigid solid core wire).

It'd just depend on how dense the board was... if there's no empty space without traces then the board would have to be extended or a protrusion added. I wouldn't bump a project up to a larger enclosure just to accommodate, but maybe when it works without too much hassle. There are a few...

@johnk_10 does things a little differently, and it really makes me want to add wire stress reliefs to the boards.

Nice, ever take it anywhere photogenic? 🤣
