    Bring out yer Diptrace

    Thanks a lot. Yes, I use the smallest PIC available, PIC10F322. I was inspired by an old @bean design. I have implemented four modes of switching that can be cycled on power-up: latching, momentary (non-latching), momentary after long press, and switched on after power-up. Other than that, there...

    Re-painting pedal knobs to custom colors

    Does your mould have a fill for a pot shaft or do you drill them afterwards? This might be a nice tutorial by the way... :) I always liked this guy's work (swedenknobs). https://www.instagram.com/swedenknobs/

    Cordyceps - we're all doomed

    Where did you get those red resistors? I think I saw them in AionFx kits and thought they were custom-made.

    Buffered/Transformer Isolated Splitter

    If you connect the Ring contact of the jack to the ground your sleeve will always be connected to the ground through an inserted mono jack connector.

    Nobelium Build 50kHz issue

    It is the "feature" of the onboard PSU. A switched mode boost converter runs most probably on that 50kHz frequency. The problem is it is located very close to all the analog traces so it gets inducted on them. You might try redesigning it by finding optimal component values to have more...

    Rounded edges on PCB

    I add points next to a corner in a distance of a radius I want and then change the corner point to "arc" in the properties (right click and board points) and set the radius to the desired value.

    What is your go to DMM

    I use ANENG AN8008 very often. For stuff like pedal building, it is all you can need. Yes, it is cheap but I have no problem with accuracy. I bought it mainly because it has a uA measurement option and I am using it mainly because it also has a capacity measurement option and it is small enough...

    Your favorite sushi box fx pedal to date?

    My experience so far: I have built the Diplomat and BassDude for one specific reason. If you send Diplomat into BassDude you can achieve architecture quite similar to a Bell & Howell Filmosound 385 amp. The Diplomat has a lot of clean gain that overdrives whatever you put after it. I have tried...

    Bring out yer Diptrace

    It works great so far. I have copied this from Dr. Vahlbruch, he calls it Magtrab. Dead simple, but a bit finicky to set the distance of the sensor and mod the switch (glue the magnet). I already have a better version. I was rushing too much and left the cap on the bottom side. The newer...

    Bring out yer Diptrace

    It is quite funny, I have recently made a universal relay switching module for confined spaces where you can't fit a big momentary switch, such as in your effects. It uses an MCU and a hall sensor to sense the foot actuator. I am testing it now on 3 of your pedals but it can be used on any pedal...
