Are you using any stomp boxes with your modular rig?

That’s probably what I would do, but opinions vary. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/when-to-use-mlcc-capacitors.28048/unread

I love that for you. 🤣 Seriously though, I’m not surprised people like this one. I can’t even really explain why I didn’t connect with it. I might even pull it out of the drawer in a few months and have a different take on it. Lately I’ve been liking my dirt pedals a little dirtier. Like if it...

Learn anything interesting?

Anyone ever breadboard a circuit and audition these various capacitors types? I use crummy mlccs with wild abandon. Are we talking about human-discernible audible differences here?

I mostly use these from Tayda: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/5mm-led-blue-plastic-cilp.html 5mm LED. That style lens clips onto the LED when you press it in. Sometimes I'll add a tiny drop of superglue from the inside of the box depending how the lens fits the hole.

Thanks! @VanWhy @GizzWizzKing @BuddytheReow I had the bus wire out for the stomps and decided to just run with it. I keep changing my technique for aligned daughterboards like those. On this one, I cut and bent bus wire into little L shapes so I could drop them in from the top and the short...

You know how sometimes a friendly dog will randomly meet a person and decide they don't like them for no reason anyone can figure out? Maybe try taking your hat off? Maybe he doesn't like people with beards? Maybe he smells something on you? I don't really like this pedal but not for any...

Did you read through @owlexifry 's treasure trove of info in the first response? Not sure how you got two years without noise - the rest of us all got the noise as soon as we built these. Either way I suspect the remedies are the same. Some pt2399s may be slightly less noisy than others, so...

I'm sorry you feel that way. :ROFLMAO: Not saying this is your situation - but I wonder what would happen with one of these if there was a problem where half the circuit wasn't working... I bet it would still sound like a weird tremolo.

I forgot I built two of those! ha! I also liked that one better than the Woodpecker.

Thanks! Weird about your volume - mine is at unity a little past nine o'clock. I think I read some other similar build reports where people thought it was weird that it had so much volume on tap. I know needing some boost is a thing with regular tremolos because the volume is down for half...

The other trem I built was a Woodpecker, and of the two, I think I like vibey over choppy. Maybe the chop could make more sense for a part in a mix, but I'm mostly just over here noodling by myself. I took it back over to the bench to try tweaking the footswitch a little, so I tried on a couple...

I haven't built mine yet, but I did order the specified part, because I am a follower-of-instructions. 🤓 Is the consensus that this seems to be a do-nothing part? John at EAE seems more like the kind of designer who went to college and does the math, as opposed to the folks who are just...

Harmonic Tremolo? What the heck is that?? Instead of using the internet and spoiling the surprise, I ordered this board and waited a year to find out. Turns out it's a cool vibey sounding tremolo. I guess kind of what I would have expected from the name. Google / AI gave me this which sounds...

I was just wondering why there’s no capacitor there.

What’s going on here?

Thanks @HamishR! I have thought about flipping that jack, but something about having all the lugs on the same level wins out I guess. You might be on to something with that left-handed jack idea. I’d buy em. I just went back and looked through some of your builds. Wiring up a PCB is one...

Looks Pro AF to me buddy.

Thanks! I actually looked into getting some similar machine-tag name plates fabricated for a different project and it was super expensive for small quantities. The ones I use on pedals I make at home using a toner transfer and acid/ peroxide etch. I learned how that works from this video...
