I’m sure I’ve posted both of these before, but I’ve never stacked them. I’ve ran some dirt/fuzz into the Circulator before, but not the Anubis (aka Dung Beetle here). Even my wife commented how good they sound together! Need to get another clear knob for the circulator. Edit: man, that’s a...

Finally put in a 4558 and that fixed everything. All the low slew rate chips I put in work fine. A pretty nice distortion and no need for the LPB1 at that point. I've added some asymmetrical clipping between pins 6-7 (two red LED and a Bat41) and that helped rough it up a bit more. Looking...

@Chuck D. Bones I breadboarded this using a TL072 (didn’t have an LM4558) and it works no problems other than it was pretty gated and barely made unity volume . Changed the 470k resistor to a 330k and that solved it the gating but smoothed it out a bit more than I like. I put an LPB1 before it...

Here's a redo on the top. Here's the settings I used. Need to switch to mm, but this will work for now.

Poop. I forgot to pick the gnd net for the top layer on the pour.

Ok. I took some of your suggestions and reqorked a few traces. Added a bototm and top ground plane as well. Here's what I got.

Good call on the LED ground pad. Although, I'm never sure where I'm gonna mount an LED so it's not terribly important. I don't mind not using a footswitch breakout board, although I could move the pads. Still playing with it. I haven't done the ground pour yet as I wanted some feedback on the...

OK. I tried doing a different layout that would at least put the in, out, and power in a reasonable spot. All the verifications pass. Please give me some critique on how to layout this better. Grounds again are highlighted red for reference.

When I add extra ground pads I just need to make sure they are on the GND net (or whatever net the grounds are on), correct?

Yep. I haven't added any ground pads yet. I want to learn how to do a proper ground plane so I'm kinda waiting on some advice. @PedalPCB and @Chuck D. Bones : I ran the following versifications. Check Design Rules ensures no traces, pads, or holes intersect or get too close to each other...

I'm moving the info from another thread (https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/pcb-layout-guidance.8843/) so as to not commandeer it's topic. This will be an exercise hopefully to let me learn some of the basics of Diptrace and to get valuable feedback from y'all who know what you're doing. Be...

I’ll rework this over the weekend as I have time. I haven’t breadboarded it yet. Was really just messing around to get a feel for Diptrace. Others have though. https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12522 I think I’ll start a new thread on this particular circuit so we can keep...

Here is the schematic. Here is the top. Yes a two layer board. Here is the bottom with spoked grounds. I left my mouse on the grounds to make them red and the top silkscreen for reference. All the traces and ground fill are on the bottom.

Sorry to revive this and cabbage on, but there’s some good info in here. I’ve just started to use diptrace. Had a little voltage inverter for positive ground circuits that seems to work. Anyway, I’m trying a slightly larger circuit and had question about the ground plane. I have through plated...

Been following your stuff for years now. Glad to see you here as well!

What auto lacquer are you using?

The pen manufacturer states to cure on ceramic or glass "Step 3: After fully dry (at least 24 hours), place your project into a cold oven; Turn oven to 350 ̊F (180 ̊C);" keeps it from flaking/scratching off so easy I guess. I don't mind envirotex. The 16oz kit (8oz each) cost me about $15 on...

Anyone doodle their own artwork then pour epoxy on it? I’ve done several following Pachyderm Pedals tutorial which basically has you baking the art before epoxy which the paint pens recommend if painting on glass and such. I really don’t like the change in color when baking and wondered if...

I’ve only built 10 pedals so far. This was my first and probably my worst wiring job. Just had to use a 1590A :rolleyes: but here’s a CMoy amp from 15 years ago or so and was my first project.

That looks way easier than the Minitaur board I built mine on. Of course Pickdropper makes it look easy.
