If you have a delay I’d email them. I heard nothing for about 2 weeks and emailed. They were holding up the order for a single component that was out of stock. They ended up shipping it minus that piece. But it’s annoying. I used to always go to Mammoth first but after that experience (twice) I...

If you look at the metal tongue part that the tip would hit when inserted into the jack, whichever one of the two upper tabs is connected to that tongue is the tip connection. The other one is the ground

On the Chaos Machine, C10 is a 1u cap. I bought a electrolytic cap like I normally would for 1u. However the silkscreen is a square box, so clearly it’s not electrolytic. 1) can I use electrolytic? 2) does orientation matter? I think the answers are yes and yes, but not sure which way of the...

I have a printout taped to my pegboard of all the diameter sizes for all the holes to punch on the enclosure.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Can’t wait to make this one!

Has anyone who’s built the Chalameau clone of the Clari(not) know what the range of LDR is? Thanks in advance, James

I just finished (almost) a monster box that uses a 1776 Multiplex Delay and a generic no name Chinese made tremolo. I use the pedalPCB order switcher and it’s super simple to wire up. There’s also a mod section for the Multiplex that I can’t get power to work yet. It also has a 4th footswitch...

Sometimes it will also specify whether the component is thru hole or surface mount (SMD) as well. Or just different versions of the same chip. I’ve seen all sorts of TL072 prefixes and suffixes. All the same IC chip.

I used a basic Germanium diode 1N34A. Any germanium diode should work.

Also an audio probe is super helpful for testing the signal path for trouble shooting pedal problems. There are plenty of guides by googling “audio probe”. Here’s one I used to make my probe. Really really simple, but super useful tool. https://www.diystompboxes.com/pedals/debug.html

I learned to use a audio probe on a really really basic fuzz with about 7 components. You can start touching the probe to the input and output jacks to get a feel of how it works. Just start at the Input jack on the schematic and start following from component to component. On a simple fuzz...

It does get weird sometimes transitioning between one pot and the other. Not exactly portamento style slides, but rougher.

Always have to keep missing the pedals! Another fun addition is a 2knob job PCB. It adds a second pot for 2 different settings that can be switched between with a 3pdt. Great for those infinite feedback swells or a major gain boost.

Here’s bsonici’s original post on it. http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=23a5d4da5907bf871f0b7de0ded09492&topic=27601.msg267298#msg267298 I’ve also been looking for a couple weeks on line at adding EXP jack in general. Here’s some other links on the topic...

All the FV-1 platform pedals are fun. I’ve build the USB version and the older D3lay/Kaleidoscope/Radium Springs EEPROM’s on the non-USB version lots of versatility between the chips you can swap out easily or code yourself on the USB version. Muffin Factory is so cool to build and sounds like...

Looks great! That’s wired up as 2 separate phasers correct? Also, which range LDR’s did you use? It didn’t specify on the list.

I used the Sanyo 2SD30’s. Hfe was 55 & 60 or something around there.

Yeah almost the same. 2 resistors slightly different values and a Ge diode for one of the 1N914’s. But nothing major. The added 4th and 5th toggle switch additions are very nice mods. I’d love to hear the v1 vs v2 side by side.

Good news everybody! I got the new Muffin Factory v2 to fire up and work today! When I first fired it up, I had a wet sound but no gain/fuzz whatsoever and started to panic...then I looked at all the little DIP switches and turned on the gain and clipping for the 1) input DIP 2) clipping stage...

Those mods look sweet!
