    Ruined Board?

    Worst case you may have to make the connection yourself with a wire from #3 to wherever that trace goes (can't see from the picture, as it's blurry on the side, but you may be able to follow it just by looking at the board).

    Ruined Board?

    I'd be surprised if it didn't still work fine. You could always do a continuity test between the various points on the board to make sure no traces were cut, just in case.

    Canadians ordering from Tayda, what shipping service do you use?

    No DDP option for me, just warnings of extra duties/fees (or Thailand Post). Going to do some more math on options and maybe change the order up a little to get just what I need right now.

    Canadians ordering from Tayda, what shipping service do you use?

    Thanks! Yeah DHL seems like a nightmare these days. (Apologies for the extra thread---making a new one seemed like a good idea at the time).

    Canadians ordering from Tayda, what shipping service do you use?

    Oh yeah, I don't expect duties on Thailand Post, but didn't expect it to be $60 either, so I was curious if other Canadians have found luck with the couriers, as at least then I'd get the parts quickly. I'm just scared of all their hidden and increasing fees.

    Canadians ordering from Tayda, what shipping service do you use?

    About to place my first Tayda order in a while and shipping is up to $60 for Thailand Post, which used to be my go-to before it got more expensive. Any Canadians ordered recently using DHL or Fedex? Curious if it's worth trying my luck with duties/fees, as I imagine it might be similar in cost...

    EEPROM programming hardware

    This is what I use as well. Works well enough, but I'm no expert.

    Solder Fume Extractor?

    I also built one using a computer fan and some carbon filters. Works well enough if I'm pretty close, but I may look at something more powerful eventually

    DEMO Sproing Deluxe (PPCB + J. Rockett Boing) - Demo Added

    This sounds lovely. I don't need another trem or reverb, but might have to give this a shot.

    Dumb mistake.

    I've still got a mislabelled Rainbow Machine that stares at me every day. I keep thinking of ways to fix it without redoing the entire paint job, but never work up the guts to actually try, so it just laughs at me.

    Dynamic/Touch-sensitive tremolo (Night Wire, etc.)?

    Good to know. There's also a layout for it over at Tagboardeffects, so I may try that if I feel ambitious one day.

    Dynamic/Touch-sensitive tremolo (Night Wire, etc.)?

    Ah! Misread that, sorry. Looks like they are sold out currently anyway. I pulled the trigger on the Blue Warbler for now, but will probably try the Old School eventually.

    Dynamic/Touch-sensitive tremolo (Night Wire, etc.)?

    Thanks! I hadn't seen that one. Seem the dynamics there control only the speed, whereas something like the Blue Warbler controls the depth/amplitude of the effect (and not the speed, so both are a trade-off).

    Dynamic/Touch-sensitive tremolo (Night Wire, etc.)?

    Thanks. Maybe I'll give the Blue Warbler a shot, as it seems to do what I'm after, just don't hear many folks talking about it (maybe it's more of a niche feature than I thought!).

    Dynamic/Touch-sensitive tremolo (Night Wire, etc.)?

    Anyone tried out the Blue Warbler circuit by Jon Patton (available via jmkpcb)? It's the closet DIY project I've seen that seems to do something similar to the Night Wire in terms of dynamics.

    Dynamic/Touch-sensitive tremolo (Night Wire, etc.)?

    Does anyone know of a dynamic or touch-sensitive tremolo project, like the EQD Night Wire? I'd love to play around with a harmonic trem, but also something that backs off when playing harder, etc.

    Fume Extractors?

    I built one out of an old computer fan, some filters and a tin. Works well if it's close to the source (but that sounds like the case for most of them).

    Be careful tightening your 1P8T rotary switches!

    Nothing excessive done in the two that have failed on me (one after regular use and the other while tightening carefully). I've just learned to be careful with them, as they don't seem very robust (no fault of PedalPCB, they are the same quality elsewhere too).

    Leprechaun

    I did the the same thing. Ha. Made a lot more sense when I realized my mistake.

    Leprechaun

    Looks great! Though you may find with the PedalPCB board "Tone" is on the bottom left and "Magic" is in the middle. (Don't worry, several of us have done the same thing, assuming it was the same layout as the real Rainbow Machine.)
