Quick correction A = Log / Audio B = Linear C = Reverse Log According to Wikipedia, pots made in Europe are different, but these are the letter codes for pots made in the USA and Asia.

To answer your other question, I haven’t noticed any white noise from my Fv-1 pedals, although I do have some hearing loss to contend with.

In addition to the threeverb, which I gather was what you were considering, you could go the route of choosing three reverb patches for the Pythagoras, or even eight with the Arachnid. There’s also the Spatialist, which has eight reverbs. See the Eeprom builder page - you would choose from the...

I believe the “radium springs” on the threeverb is the same as the “spring reverb” patch. See all FV-1 patches here https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/eeprombuilder/

Found the resistor sub - R11 (33K) to 150K. If I do it, I’ll report back.

Here’s my Decadence. I’m a fan of Queens of the Stone Age, so I felt compelled to build this one. Demo down below. My takeaways - sounds great, kinda gnarly and fizzy at times, nails some of those blown out tones from early Queens albums. The EQ is powerful and can very wide range of sounds...

Just sanded a raw enclosure with 60 grit. Made sure to go pretty straight. Awhile back I got some enclosures from small bear that were already sanded like this. Next batch were not, however, so I did it myself.

Les Paul with P90s. Been awhile since I gigged, don’t think I’ve used a bluesbreaker live actually. At home I have a hot rod deville, jc 22, and a Helix, sounds great through all three. I have a strat that I don’t use much, I seem to remember disliking it through the BB, too bright I think?

I hooked up my fume fan to a button and an aluminum duct. Way less noisy and the fumes go into a separated area of my garage.

I’m back to building pedals after a good 6 months off. Might have burnt myself out on the Aion IVP earlier this year, but now I’m back at it. Got a bunch I’m finishing up, and a bunch of failures I’ve fixed! So here’s the first. Aion’s Bluesbreaker. I did the extra gain stage, which is an almost...

In my opinion, the FV-1 octave effects aren’t very usable compared to pedals like the EHX Pog and it’s variants. The high octave is especially warbley, and there’s some substantial lag. However, for DIY it’s the only real option so far (unsure if the Daisy seed can do polyphonic octaves). I...

I’ll probably finish mine up tonight or tomorrow, I’ll post a demo when I do. Yeah Josh Homme said this amp was his secret weapon, and since he does get great guitar tones, everyone is interested (myself included). Here’s a dude on YouTube showing off the amp with some Queens riffs

I did it myself on a raw enclosure - I believe either 60 or 80 grit sandpaper. Thanks for noticing, I was surprised at how good it looked! I made sure I was wiping straight, and only wiped one way instead of back and forth/ up and down. Still there are some curved lines in there.

Similar to the BD-2, the OD-3 sounds great with the gain down. Recently built the Aion, hope to see a PPCB board too.

If you go that route, don’t forget the old digitech boxes too: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115564498082?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=j5ogma16SAG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=fbnEoMKWRX-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks again for chiming in everyone. It is indeed the Distortion 250. I've removed pots successfully before, but man this one was stuck! I got most of the solder off with a sucker, and after that it took awhile to get em out even pushing and pulling while the iron was on it, even loaded up...

Thanks y’all, will do.

Just need a second opinion - I was removing a B1M Drive pot in a 250 in favor of a C500k. It was pretty stuck in there and it looks like two pads came off the bottom of the PCB. Will it still function or is this board toast? Don’t want to use my only C500k… Thanks!

I drill enclosures by hand and sometimes it gets sloppy. When this happens, I’ll drill the hole a little bigger, or try to drill a bit toward where the pot or switch wants to go. Like so: So my dumb question - is there anything bad about doing this??
