I don’t have a solution for you but I’ll be interested in hearing what suggestions you get. I built a different PPCB noise gate (the Muffler) this weekend and noted in my build report that I was getting a similar fizzing and cracking when the sound transitioned below the threshold. I noted some...

Paging @DailyDovetails. Seriously, click on the profile and view their build reports. Definitely versed in 3D printing enclosures. As far as boards to minimize off-board wiring, look at the "Utility" section on the PedalPCB.com site. There are all types of breakout boards for many common (and...

Try posting/asking in this thread. Mike

OK, so when you have built as many pedals as I have (*insert self-important Barney Fife sniff*) and put most of them in your chain, you get noise. So for the time being, I’m focusing on “utility“ pedals like an EQ and this noise gate rather than “effects“. Building this as per the BOM, I had...

Thanks. Definitely Tayda. I normally drill my own enclosures, but in this case it was well worth the $4.00 to have Tayda do it, especially since Bricksandbeatles had posted an awesome drill template over in the Toolkit forum. M

All by hand with sandpaper – starting at 240 grit and moving up to 3000 grit, then going over with rubbing compound (really meant for automotive clearcoat but that’s all I had on hand). Thank you for the kind words.

Wow – well that certainly explains why combining this with the FV-1 unison double tracker is drawing enough power to take down the grid on the eastern seaboard. M

Thanks for the detailed analysis. Here is the specific language from the Chase Tone page. As you can see, it’s a bit ambiguous – as you noted, they do in fact references daisychained power supply – but then go on to specifically say that you need 150 miA to 250 mA for the preamp. Like much of...

This will be kind of long because hopefully it can provide some useful tips for others. This was a fun build (until the end, see below)– mainly because it was so different from most of the PedalPCB builds I have done. It was fun working with sliders rather than pots for a change, as well as...

OK well, Dipshit figured out some of the problems were of his own making. As background, if you don’t own one, these testers work by unplugging the power from the pedal, plugging it into the tester to power the tester, and then running a second test cable to the pedal. For a lot of the pedals...

OK, so I have a question about pedal draw power in milliamps. The reason for my question is that I bought a 1Spot tester because I have a shitload of pedal now and wanted to make sure I wasn’t starving any of them. (I was going to build the tester that Robert is going to make available, but I...

I won’t say it’s clever but it’s the best I could do. Six band = Six gun. Geddit? I’m here all week. Try the veal. 😆 Thank you again so much! I usually drill my own enclosures but I really wasn’t looking forward to attacking this one with hand files. You saved me a lot of heartache.

Just because I had not seen this marked officially as “verified” I’m chiming in to declare it verified. Thank you so much, Nick/ @Bricksnbeatles! Mike edit to note – I moved the LED down to the left of the foot switch – but everything else is exactly per Nick’s template. And frankly, it’s the...

Any update as to how this one is coming along/any rough idea as to an ETA? This is definitely the project I am most looking forward to. Mike

I only use it on the input and output jacks. I would think that, because they run of wire from the board to the 3PDT is so short, it wouldn’t make that much difference, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt anything to also put them there either. I never bothered with it because, given that that run...

Yep. Works fine. Just strip the shielding, twist the strands, and tin them. Mike

1. Here's what I use (was recommended to me by another forum member) - $7.99 at Amazon. 2. I've actually used the "wrapping copper tape around a wire and grounding it" trick once in a pinch. It worked but, yes, kind of a pain. Mike

Thanks, so much, Robert! Since I already have a mute wire running from the board to the bottom center lug on the existing 3PDT, I might as well retain it and run it to the same lug again once I install the new breakout board, just to be safe. (I was such a newb when I built the Tso that I...

So, for various reasons (some probably not particularly well-thought-through), I purchased a 3PDT Breakout Board with Buffer Switch to add a switch to my General Tso to disable the buffered bypass when desired. But since the Tso is the only buffered bypass pedal I've ever built, I have two...

1. With regard to the LED mistake I made, you may or may not be aware that, contrary to my expectations, an overloaded LED doesn’t simply burn out. It actually explodes. Into pieces. 😆 2. As far as my Celsius – actually, all of my comments in this thread describe my experiences running it as a...
