I've never done it specifically for light plates/pedals, but acrylic cuts pretty well with most woodworking tools. In the past, I've cut it by using carpet tape (strong double-sided tape) to affix it to my template, rough cut with a jigsaw or something, and then use a flush-trim bit on the...

Aion has Mouser lists for some (not sure if all) of their projects. Example I agree though, would be a cool addition! Even the same at Tayda would be nice if only to ensure you don't forget something, haha. Just last week I forgot to add a single potentiometer (needed 3, only added 2 of that...

PCB: Not my cleanest ever (after looking at pictures/up close, could really stand to clean off some flux...) In case it's not legible from the pics, IC1-IC5 is NJM4558D and IC6 is ICL7660SCPAZ. As above I *did* substitute D1-D4 (1N5222B) for 1N5221B. Everything functions as it should...

Hi all, Just wrapped up a build of the Chauffeur OD. As far as I can tell everything works as intended - the only thing is that when compared to the "real thing" (well, videos, anyways) mine seems to be breaking up a bit earlier and the breakup is a bit "woolier". I did have to make one...

Here's something similar that I thought would be nice too: Vertex DIY Mono Dual Buffer + Audition Interface The project is not terribly complicated at all (8 jacks, enclosure, DC jack...not a lot going on) except that it's built around these Creation Audio Labs buffered jacks. I'm sure they're...

I will be repeating a lot of others, but... 1. Solder: Kester 44 2. Desoldering braid: Honestly, I can't remember the last time I used braid. Pretty much always use my trusty old Weller desoldering pump/solder sucker. That one - my favorite - is an older and out-of-production one with a...

My favorite has to be Gravity Picks (Standard, unpolished, 1.5mm) or I really like the Dunlop Flow's (same size) but at like $6 each they're too pricey for how frequently I misplace them...haha. So my "standard" pick I am normally using is a 0.96mm (purple) Gator Grip.

I would add also - in hopes of learning something new - I haven't seen the schematic, so I don't even know if these are used as clipping diodes (I didn't think Zeners were commonly used in that application but I'm just guessing, honestly), but I was under the impression that with clipping diodes...

Just a quick question. I'm wanting to put together the Chauffeur drive and it requires 4 1N5222B diodes. The only place I can find them is places like Mouser or Digikey, but I've already got all the other components ready to order from Tayda and as best I can tell Mouser's cheapest shipping is...

Awesome, thanks for the update. Glad to hear it!!

Hey all, sorry to bump an old-ish thread but was looking to make an order here shortly - anyone have a more recent update for how Tayda's shipping is doing currently? Thanks!!

My last two orders: Placed March 17, Arrived March 26 Placed March 28, Arrived April 6 FWIW, Located in central US, and just use the cheapest shipping option every time. Nothing too big, just $20-30 per order, but that's about as long as it was taking to get to me pre-coronavirus...

I've been a pretty big fan of the TrueTone CS7, have owned a handful of them and has always been enough for my needs. Used to have the CS12 too, but it was pretty much overkill for me. My understanding (from Truetone) is that the mA labeling on the outlets really doesn't matter much (voltage...

So, for me it is more or less a question of knowing the right direction rather than ability, if that makes sense...I certainly won't call myself an expert, but I've built dozens of pedals and just as many pedal and/or amp mods, with limited experience in repair. Again, far from an expert, but I...

Tayda switches have always worked just fine and held up quite well for me. To me though, their switches have always been a lot quieter and just "lighter" sounding. Like, when you press the switch, it feels like it takes less force to activate and it almost feels as though there's just "less". I...

Hi all, Apologies if this is out of place but I thought there would likely be some folks here who could get me pointed in the right direction....Feel free to remove if needed. Anyways...I am having an issue with a Mooer E-Lady flanger I bought recently. It passes signal just fine - both...

Yep, #1 Unibit is my favorite. It's certainly a little more spendy but it's lasted a very long time for me and always given great results. I used to use the cheap Harbor Freight ones a lot and they're not bad, but always dulled up a lot quicker and just didn't leave as nice of holes IMO. For me...
