No, the ICs, with numbering or lettering are specific for that circuit, the sockets are what you solder in first, that way you can remove the IC if needed and not have to desolder the legs. There are two main varieties. This one with the milled sockets. Or this one with the metal insertion...

Probably would work but the function would be backwards, terms of the sweep of the pot. Yep the black box with 8 legs is the IC. Also, if you are going to start building more pedals, I highly recommend getting some IC sockets. Especially some 8 pin sockets. That will cover a majority of your...

Tayda's enclosures are hit or miss, they use some sort of epoxy or harder paint that can melt and just cause a mess. If they only painted the inside of the back plate, that would be the best. I ordered a powder coat system from Eastwood, if all of it ever comes in, I can't wait to try some of...

That is bare metal, I used a black powder coated Hammond enclosure. I have it on order, It should arrive today and I will stick it on there.

Coming off the Electrovibe, this is a great vibe as well. I recommend both!

I would first double check that the LED polarity is correct, and that the LED itself is actually good. If the LED is oriented correctly, try reflowing the pins from the tube board to the main board and confirm continuity between the boards. If you're seeing voltage on the LED positive leg but...

Yeah that’s the same analyzer I was talking about. It’s actually really helpful for catching issues before sending the file to Tayda. Also just to mention for anyone following along — you don’t need Illustrator or vector artwork to use the tool. You can literally make your design in paint.net...

If your multimeter has a continuity checker, I would check and make sure these connections are good. Is there is an issue there it will save you some time.

I sure don't. I haven't been around to even know he nuked his account! lol

It sounds good, I need to build another one with the bigmonk mods.

Next one of these I build is going into a 1590BB2 enclosure. I am going to have to build the AionFX version next.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad the tool helped make the process easier. One small note if you run the generated file through Tayda’s new PDF Artwork Analyzer. Depending on how the gloss layer is toggled in the preview, the artwork may appear hidden behind the gloss highlight...

Trust me, you are definitely not alone in the vector-challenged group. 1. UV printing will work on bare aluminum, but many choose to use powder coated enclosures because it gives a more professional result. Bare aluminum should still work fine, but the final look can depend on the design and...

Here is the one I just built, I used some T0-92 package J201s. But you need to make sure your J201pcb boards are oriented correctly as well. Match a TO-92 pinout with the labels on your smd pcbs.

Try rotating your 2n5088, if that is what you used in Q3.

It has been a little while, I think I did it by ear in the end, I know not preferred, I will have to break it out again. I have this little problem of having to many pedals on hand, that I never get to try them all out properly. I can't imagine anyone else here has that problem. :)

Someone asked if I could make them a combo pedal with a boost, Civil War Muff, and Turbo Rat. So here it is. I added order switching for the boost, and also for the muff and rat. I am loving playing this so far, sure it will doom, but it is also very versatile which surprised me more than...

At this point, yes. I’ve run multiple physical tests including white and gloss, and the files have passed Tayda’s RIP without rejection. That said, I still recommend reviewing the generated PDF before submission to confirm sizing and layer setup.

No, it is just a test file I made up in a hurry. Trying to see how the gradient transition would come out.

I used the attached PNG to generate the Tayda-ready PDF for some reason it won't let me attach it so here is a screenshot, and these are the results on 125B and 1590B. White layer mapping printed correctly, gradients came out smooth, and there were no rejection flags from Tayda. I’m just...
