The bass control on the Andromeda works perfectly (I haven't tried an Andromeda Deluxe). It's a brilliant overdrive circuit once the bass is tamed. Fully CW on the Bass knob is ODR-1 stock bass, every setting CCW is a bass reduction of some kind. @music6000 helped me diagnose the issue, I have...

I have ended up re-designing the circuit for this. The overdrive sounds really nice, bass control works perfectly, but the pedal lacks output volume compared to the Nobleman. It has to be cranked to give even a slight volume boost, whereas the Nobleman is giving me a volume boost past 1 or 2...

Apologies Jamie, the bass control is exactly the same as the Andromeda, the component differences throughout the PCB are mostly capacitor changes as the Andromeda specs some stuff that's really hard to get right now and I preferred some things about the Nobleman's design in that regard. Good...

And the ICs! And only 30 seconds after the moment of panic when no sound was forthcoming :oops::LOL:

This is excellent all-round Jamie. Looks and sounds great.

I love my Nobleman a lot, but the bass can sometimes be overpowering in my setup and I wanted to try and make my own version with control over the bass. What I've ended up with is something between the Nobleman and an Aion Andromeda, with a couple of differing component choices. The PCB and...

I've just done it a third time 🤦😅

Did this on a couple of recent builds. Thankfully a quick and painless fix.

Getting one to fire up will turn the tide. Please post your builds in the troubleshooting section, guaranteed someone will spot the problem and you'll get to muck around with a pedal you built yourself. It's a great feeling!

Can someone remind me what the mounting hole diameter is for the large Lumberg DC jacks, please? I can't find my notes 😅

Mate, we can all make our own templates very easily nowadays. And yes, there are Tayda drill templates on many PedalPCB product pages now too. Sign up here to use the Tayda Drill Tool: drill.taydakits.com

I'm worried I'm going to get myself in trouble with the Mrs by saying "Make me fries" at a suboptimal moment

For those interested, here's a quick phone clip from testing: Custom bass effect There are a couple of kinks to work out with the output jack, which only works when half removed, and the boost circuit isn't working at this stage. The volume control on the fuzz is pretty useless, if I were...

Latest updates: Holes are drilled (9 of them!) Appropriate washers found for the hole on which I accidentally went a step too far with the stepped bit 🤬 Most off-board components mounted Shell wet sanded with 120, 240, 600 and 1200 grit 9mm pots are soldered onto stripboard for alignment and...

There's an option in the copper pour properties for island removal, which will remove any disconnected copper islands from your board.

The other thing I do is make the boards a rounded rectangle. They are a lot nicer in the hand and inside the enclosure (which is itself a rounded rectangle). It takes a bit of figuring out to begin with but it's really simple once you work out the required differences between points and the arc...

Looks good @Blooze. All I would do differently is route C7 to R5 instead of C6 (shorter trace) and make a long 45° section on your trace from Level pot pin 2 to your Out pad to get rid of the right angle (and make a shorter trace). Next step is to order one of these suckers from JLCPCB or OSH...

Thanks for this, it's something I had wondered about and intended to look up one day.

I know this isn't a breadboarding topic, but this part of the forum seems to be the place where cool DIY stuff ferments. 😎 Essentially I want to incorporate MIDI controlled on/off switching into a standard relay bypass setup. It should be possible using the existing ATTINY/Arduino MIDI...

Now you have me mulling over midi controlled relay bypass switching again. One day I will work out how to do it. 🤔
