I use no-clean solder, and keeping with the name, I no clean. Sometimes if I get ambitious or it looks really messy I'll use IPA, but that's like 1 in 10.

I'd use film there

the gains are good for fuzzes--did you measure leakage too?

When somebody made a best of 2025 builds thread, I realized I had only built one pedal in 2025, and that was a fuzz face for a friend. About time I completed something new. I was able to wrap up two builds this week. It's been a while--my offboard wiring regressed being rusty, so it looks a...

I need better glasses, as I thought this thread was about best hardware for working your prostrate.

Naga Viper is a great one, especially if you don't want to mess with sourcing proper germanium transistors.

I think @Robert gave one of these away in a contest a few years ago, so maybe he traced it.

It's all fine and good when you have a 1 pedal like that, but wait until you have >50

So is it going to come with knobs or nah?

Having built several bluesbreaker type pedals, I was underwhelmed by the blue side of this. The green side is nice though, but I never use it because it's stuck in a dual pedal.

Happy Holidays! As somebody once said, go build something.

never noticed that issue with tayda branded pots, but I usually stick to the alpha anyway because I figure they must cut something to make them that much cheaper.

Also, the google query site:pedalpcb.com filetype:pdf tl071 will bring up some of the build docs that have tl071 in them. Looks like one of the top hits (Celsius) is a 1-knob w/ a tl071, as is the Triangulum (both of these also have a chargepump too).

a microamp comes to mind https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2010/08/mxr-micro-amp.html

It's not going to impact tone either way, but from the schematic, I'd probably use a 1n5817 there as it's part of the power section.

good point, I should've considered this, was being too simplistic. and you're right: it's a odd spec to claim.

The schematic says it all

The web site is annoying but I've built several guitarpcb offerings and they've all been solid.

These have saved me a few times (and they do break easily). They cost a buck at Tayda, well worth it.

I use scotch tape.
