Thanks ! ...and the elephant's trunk is shaped as the "S" of Spectron.

Thanks for your replies ! I will try these mods this evening and report.

I built a few phasers, the Phase II is probably my favorite, i really like how the sweep sounds. However, i built an other one sometimes ago, a Small Stone clone with all the popular mods, called the Redshift from Aion. The mods are allowing some interesting sounds, and i often regret that...

Thanks ! It means a lot coming from such distinguished Enclosure Artists. Unless you really enjoy using a real wah with an expression pedal, i highly recommend the Spectron. In my opinion, it's even better than a real wah. You don't need to care about your foot while playing. You can use the...

I had a loud popping noise issue on a circuit once, i couldn't find a way to fix it, even with AMZ tricks, and 20k led resistor. Finally, i've been suggested to add a 10n DC blocking cap at the beginning of the circuit and it fixed it...

I built these effects sometime ago, in 2021. Hopefully, they could be some interesting examples about what is possible to do when a pedal builder has "no artwork skills". The idea for the "art design" came to me while i was shopping at the local grocery store. I saw two big packs of rice, one...

Enclosures shouldn't be microphonic, never. I would start by checking the wiring. Sometimes a tiny piece of wire missed the hole and is shorting the next pad. Also check that the pots terminals aren't touching each other or the enclosure. If touching the aluminium enclosure affects the signal...

It's been observed by some kind and distinguished forum members that there is no need for lots of circuits in highschool jazz bands. That's most certainly true, but surely there are a few doom/stoner metal players hidden among every highschool jazz bands. Probably a secret team of enlighted...

Don't forget to vote for some of the bass projects in the wishlist section, we need all the help we can get ! https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/aguilar-agro-bass-overdrive.16553/#post-265303

I have read on this forum that a LP/HP filter is very useful to shape the tone and tame the low end. I tried the Frequency Interchange Filter from PPCB, and it does something very different than all the Bass EQ i ever tried, including Tech21 VT bass preamp and its active 3 bands EQ. It's really...

I am not sure that i fully understand this sentence. Do you mean that you deserve to be deprived of plastic washers for ever ? But why would you punish these poor and lonely 3PDT, and ruin your enclosures's good looks for something they didn't do ? I think a no-plastic-washer life sentence...

I've read that 9mm pots are less reliable, with a shorter longevity : https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=128608.msg1239624#msg1239624 I am absolutely neutral on this matter, and it seems to me that Mark Hammer have better arguments than the pro-9mm forum members.

Nice build ! I sold my Dandy Horse because i felt a bit overwhelmed with too much modulations circuits. But it was special... I miss it a little bit, but i hesitate to build it again. It became much more expensive compared to 2 years ago. On musikding, the kit was sold around 80 euros back...

I salvaged it from an other device. You can use some old power cable for computers or some broken patch cable for guitar effects, etc. Any thick cable is potentially shielded, and can be interesting for your application. If you can access a big pile of electronic junk somewhere, cut some cables...

Did you use shielded wires for the IN and OUT jacks ? I had a similar issue, Feral Feline told me to use shielded wires and to keep them away from the pcb, taped along the enclosure sides. I salvaged the cable from a broken power supply, and it worked. A buffer in front of this effect could...

+1000 experience points for the plastic washer, elegantly located on the outside of the enclosure. This artwork is really interesting. You have been promoted to Lvl. 2, congratulations !

This happened to me recently too. It was a short on the 3PDT breakout board. A tiny piece of wire missed the hole, and was shorting the next pad.

I would put more solder on the 3PDT pads. Do it quickly and let it cool off before moving to the next pad, to avoid overheating and melting the 3PDT, they are quite sensitive. What about the pots insulation, preventing them from shorting the pcb soldering pads ? Are we sure these pieces of tape...

I think you need to find the correct pad on the 3PDT, one that is connected to ground (or 9V+LEDR) when the circuit is turned on, and disconnected when turned off. The led needs both 9V (with led resistor) and ground to light up. If at least one of them is disconnected when the circuit is...
