In my opinion, it's hard to compare the industry and diy builders. We need comparison criteria. The industry like Boss or others have factories available for them, with expensive devices and machines to help them reach an optimal ratio between expenses and quality. Which can be both...

Could also be your DC jack, looks like it's in metal and it's not a good thing according to this thread : https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/grounding-issue-with-enclosure.3035/ You can try to insulate the metal part of your DC power jack with plastic tape, or use a plastic DC jack from...

As you wish. In case you didn't notice, i ve edited my post to suggest to test the circuit using wires to connect the IN and OUT jacks rings (the part that should be in contact with the enclosure), to your other boss enclosure. If the hum is still there, then it's probably not an enclosure...

you really dont have another stompbox from the industry with a metal enclosure ? You dont need to put the circuit inside the metal box, you just need to use the jack holes to test if the static hum goes away. I dont think copper tape on the inside would help much, the idea is to let the...

i posted a link to help build the audio probe, it's a very simple thing. You can build an audio probe with a female jack, 2 wires, and a 100n cap, no need to waste a guitar cable. i guess so, especialy if it sounds like a ground issue. If you have an aluminium enclosure, it could be...

I would first make sure that both jacks are correctly in contact with the enclosure, that there is no paint preventing them to touch it. Then i would use an audio probe and try to find where the signal turns into a static hum, following the shortest path on schematics from IN to OUT. Once the...

there is an interesting mod for that circuit, bypassing the fuzz part. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/bypassing-fuzz-part-in-corduroy-fuzz.2951/ There's also a way to get more highs from the Tone control...

Some other popular examples you can try : Zen Drive, great for its singular compression texture. Simulcast, the low gain setting will be perfect for clean boost and transparent light overdrive. EQD Palisades, if you'd like a tube screamer with all the mods and lots of options to dial lots of...

cascaded JFET stages... Blues driver with keeley mods is great. Or maybe a more custom made BD2 with some of B.Wampler suggestions that suit your needs. The original unit can sound fizzy, but modded versions based on keeley or Wampler ideas will easily fix this issue. OD-3 is also based on...

Good point. I ll do the tracing before trying Robert's suggestion, for safety. And if i really can't unsolder it, i ll try to break open the pot to unsolder each pin one by one. If that still doesn't work, i'll get rid of the pcb and rewire the controls. The other pot reads MN254, i guess a...

Thanks for your replies. I'm going to look for a replacement. I think it's a B250K and an A250k, it reads B254 and A254. So i guess if i find a dual B250k or a dual A250k, it should be fine, i dont really care about it, i usually set both values at noon. Once i'll get the replacement, i ll...

a big blob that will cover all 6 pads ? Isn't there a chance that the heat will damage the pcb traces ?

Removing it. It's tightly soldered with 6 pads. If i try hard, im afraid i will overheat the pcb. An alternative solution would be breaking the dual pot casing and be able to desolder and pull off each pin, but im not sure it's doable ?

Hello, Something heavy fell on my bass, and the top of the Bright/Volume dual potentiometer is broken. The top is controling the volume. I'm trying to fix it, but it's soldered on a small pcb and it looks like im not going to be able to desolder and replace it. Im thinking about leaving it...

If i understand correctly, there's a bad interaction between the pedalboard and the electric environment. I would try to connect the DC7 power supply to an other wall outlet, maybe use an extension cord to be able to access a distant electric outlet ? If the electrical environment is noisy, i...

More than a year later, i finally fixed this build. I suddenly decided to desolder the VCO Shape rotary switch, and resolder it again. Just a random attempt in the blind, hoping for the best... During the process, a soldering eyelet came off the pcb, pad 1, connected to R44. I made a jumper do...

it's a very long shot but i'd suggest to carefully check all capacitors values, maybe you misread a value on a part somewhere. Could easily also be a bad soldering joint that looks perfect. In that case, i guess you'll need to audioprobe the signal path and see where the treble loss happens.

I tried my Dandy Horse build with various instruments, like synthetizers, guitars, bass, and never noticed any treble loss, even by itself.

4 holes like that... i'd suggest Aion BD-2 clone with the extra bass control (Aion's Sapphire), or Aion's Meridian compressor, or PPCB Gravitation reverb, or Delyk's Up Down Daddy Octaver (Pearl OC-7 clone). They're all excellent choices in their own category, maybe even among the best possible...

In the thread you linked, last post from y2kornfreak says he used the picture in the thread to wire his relay bypass, and it worked. "hey i just wanted to let you know that i was having trouble looking for info on how to use the intelligent relay system with the parentheses pedal, until i used...
