I'd like to see this as I'm considering decals for my labels but idfk what I'm doing

I'd love to see this too. The Amber OD is one of my favorite pedals and I'd love to see how others mod it. I keep both my gain and distortion at about 9 oclock, so different value pots and maybe something to give it more edge and less fuzz would be great. I like some of the fuzz saturation, but...

Hi all, I'm tracing a few schematics and noticed something about the TS schem that I can't figure out. In the schematics of the TS online, the RC filter (4k7 res & 47nf cap) in the first op amp is connected to ground (R4 and C3 here) But on the PPCB schem, they are connected to VREF. Same...

Thank you so much for writing that out. I'll check out electrosmash, and that freq analyzer site is awesome!

I'm trying to understand more about what gives certain pedals their freq response. For example, I really want to like my Distortr for the texture it has, but it always sounds either too shrill or too muffled. It doesn't speak with presence like my Luxury 763 or Amber OD, and I'd like to change...

You might also try cleaning this thing, as it goes from the LED that connects to pin 2 of the IC to somewhere

Verify whether you are getting something closer to VCC or VREF at pin 1 of the IC Reading thru your volt findings, if you compare pins 1-3 of the IC to pins 5-7, you can see there's a voltage diff between pins 3 and 2 and this is why the LED is constant on. Check to see if VREF is present at...

It seems that pin 2 of the IC, or something connected to it, is contacting ground. This would make it so one LED is constant on while the other is off. I would check underneath your pots and trim the leads that have been left long. Check out your IC socket with a meter for continuity and see if...

Yes, the rotary switch is set up such that in position 1, no voltage is sent to pins 16, 17, or 18, and none of the other modes are activated. I don't know which mode is the default one. You shouldn't need the jumper you installed given that the first mode is selected by disconnecting power...

I think it'll be ok. There's a lot of room in the 125b enclosure. I could probably squeeze this into a 1590b, but I like to keep the jacks far apart to accommodate pancake style patch cables. Ideally I'd like to elevate the DC jack to be above the audio jacks and in between the pots but I...

Perform a visual inspection of the IC and note back about what you find.

Your red side IC needs help

Hi, thanks for your reply. I saw the Tayda one but I wanted to spring for a nicer DC jack so I spec'd the footprint for this Switchcraft jack. I have two ideas for being able to disassemble the pedal - either elongate the holes for the pots/foot switch, pr the audio jacks. I had an MXR pedal...

I like mine, but it's definitely a one trick pony. I had to get a NOS Natl Semiconductor CD4049 from Small Bear for the clock control to work correctly - the TI version introduced too much noise

How many outputs do you really want? My board, which has something like 10 pedals, I can use a 4 output device as I'm chaining all the analog drive circuits together, and only the digital or modulation pedals get isolated power. I have a Voodoo Labs x4, and I used to have a Voodoo Labs Pedal...

is there an IEB0105S09 alt?

You can use a DPDT on/off/on toggle switch instead of the dip switches. The switches in the KoT allow for 4 possible combinations, but the manual only describes and intends use of 3 of them - soft clipping (one switch up), hard clipping (other switch up), or no clipping (both switches down)...

I'd like to get a smaller one that slides better and is maybe a bit nicer and without a center detent, but buying tools is a slippery slope. A super sharp pencil is my other favorite tool. These oversize ones are my favorite

I use a 12" Empire combination square for my drilling layouts. You can use it to make sure each pot hole is in alignment, and you can set it as a depth gauge and make sure they are centered and/or spaced evenly as well. It would be nice if it had 32nd increments, but the 16ths are okay for what...

I spent some time with the data sheets updating the pad and hole dimensions for the jacks, as well as some cut outs in the board for the enclosure screw bosses. I think it's ready! (in this pic the in/out audio jacks are reversed)
