    Fulfilling a project BOM

    I’d recommend just buying components you actually need for a project. For cheap components like resistors I’ll round up the totals so I have a few extras on hand. If you’re interested in extra parts for breadboarding, just print out or save the BOMs for those too, and combine those with your...

    Fulfilling a project BOM

    That's how I do it. If you're going to build a lot of pedals and want to keep costs down I think that's where you'll end up. It probably doesn't take as long as you think. I do take the extra step of entering the BOM contents into an excel sheet so I can sum parts for ordering multiple projects...

    SOLVED Dumb mistakes: Solving Aion Ember/Amptweaker tightmetal, GCI Apostle, and Duocast issues

    The docs for the GCI MT2 include a drill template with an incorrect switch location. When I realized my board didn't fit my enclosure and looked into it, someone mentioned that it had been addressed in the Facebook group. The worst part is that I recently drilled a second enclosure and did it...

    Awful Waffle

    I got this protoboard put together and needed something to play with, so I took another run at the Waffle. I tried the purple cat mod. The LEDs weren’t super noticeable, and the 220p cap in the feedback loop darkened it up more than I cared for, but I did end up liking a 30p cap there to just...

    Awful Waffle

    Thanks! I’m inclined to think that the thing I don’t like about it is really more of a feature than a bug. Plenty of posts online from folks having similar experiences with the original pedals but I think for certain people with certain rigs it’s a good fit, so especially if you’ve already...

    Recurring Nightmare Delay - Oscillation, No Signal/Effect

    Your soldering looks nice, your board is clean, your picture is clear, you used caps on your pots. For a post in the troubleshooting section you're already winning! :ROFLMAO: Just to be clear, are you getting signal through when it's bypassed? Just nothing when you engage it? Nothing's...

    Deflector Reverb

    That makes much more sense.

    Deflector Reverb

    I don’t even know what that means! Ha! Like an envelope generator on a synthesizer? But with an effects loop?

    DEMO War Scythe (EQD Hoof Reaper)

    Sounds / looks rad. That story makes me want to up my breadboard game.

    Glyph Fuzz

    Weak initial searching on my part. Turns out a few folks did post about building these, just on Rullywow/ Aion/ various pcbgm versions/ muffin boards. Maybe when Robert got around to doing a board the demand had dwindled.

    Glyph Fuzz

    Based on the Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh - a muffy fuzz with a useful low/high gain switch, nice EQ, and some clipping options. Plenty of low end coming through for bass too. This made it into my cart based on a rec in the Rig Rundown for the band Elder. This has been out for a while, but if...

    Propolis (Jack White Bumble Buzz)

    Yeah, I think that generic wiring diagram in the build doc is old and still uses the old confusing LED layout that makes no sense :ROFLMAO: I'm usually a build-by-the-numbers guy, I don't usually get into mods or thinking too much about schematics, but looking at some schematics for other...

    Propolis (Jack White Bumble Buzz)

    No knobs!! Weird! I bet the holes in the corners of the pcb are there so you could use some kind of standoffs...

    SOLVED How do these thingies work?

    That's pretty good. See, I knew you didn't need a computer to do graphics.

    SOLVED Shrapnel: Prevent a Brother's Hara-kiri

    What kinda dc jack you rockin? I notice you got a bare wire for the hot side and insulated on the ground side - nothing wrong with that, but it would be more conventional to do the opposite. Just want to make sure you’re not hooking up backwards. Are those two 22n caps tantalum? Is the...

    @DGWVI has a pretty slick system https://forum.pedalpcb.com/members/dgwvi.230/showcase

    Graphics on phone?

    I don’t have an answer for you, I just love that you don’t have a computer. Stay gold pony boy.

    ETA on hydra delay chips?

    I’ll spring for the pre-soldered ones if @Robert has em, but if you’re in a hurry and don’t mind the job SBP has them. https://stompboxparts.com/semiconductors/fv-1-spin-multi-effects-ic/?searchid=869694&search_query=FV1

    Deflector Reverb

    Don't be so sure. I'm still fairly mystified.

    Deflector Reverb

    That sounds right to me. I've been thinking of the Damp control as a tone knob for the stuff that happens if you turn up Reflect. With Damp all the way up, the reflections seem to get a little darker which I preferred.
