Solved: Keeping a distortion ON all the time is the best buffer. 🤘

For reference, the switch works like this: The green, red, and blue are never in contact with each other. They just flip up and down from the center row. It's 3 separate switches, inside of one case. But they are separate from each other.

I didn’t realize there is a pcb for this pedal, I always forget there is a store in addition to the perf board blog. Very cool.

The 18v wire in the bottom row of your switch drawing never connects to anything.

I would do it like this, where green goes to 18V pads and blakc to 9V:

I should swap mine to a C pot. It will melt your face and launch you into next week, Marty McFly style.

I built the overdrive without the charge pump, but I don’t have the boost. I assumed I wanted the volume knob, and that the circuits were otherwise the same. I can’t remember if that is correct or not. I definitely recommend the overdrive. It’s fun on its own, in front of a muff, and behind...

You posted the topic 18 minutes ago. I assume you’ve now already built both and don’t need anymore advice.

You have the option to A) purchase nearly all of ppcb pedals with an already drilled & painted enclosure, assembled and ready to play. Or you could B) use a scale, measure the board, and make a drill template. Ppcb gives us choices. Most guitar players choose A). I like B).

Well, we all wrote the same thing. So it must be correct. :cool:

I drew this on my phone with my finger, so it’s not pretty. Think of the boards like a single unit. Chain dwarf out to red in, red out to muzzle in. Then wire the switch normally: in to the dwarf and out from the muzzle.

It gets noisy. I did a check today. The Drive and Gain behave similarly, with the gain causing a bit more noise. For some perspective, my Mojito is very quiet. With drive and gain below 10 o’clock this DA120 is quiet. At noon it’s noticeable but acceptable (similar to a maxed Mojito)...

I know there are bass demos on youtube. For guitar, it works as expected. It sounds good on its own and it definitely stacks well. So far I've tried a Rat and a Muff in front of it with great results. I think I'm going to build a mini doom pedalboard with a compressor, parentheses, big muff...

I did a bunch of buffer reading (freestompboxes, muzique, and others) and this was my plan. They’re small, could probably fit a few of them on a single breadboard and swap stuff around. I just haven’t started it yet. OR, I could wait for you to do it and decide which one is The Best.

Betty types faster than me

In series, you add them to get the total. Do you have a 680k? With a 2M would make 2.68M

I'd be concerned about a solder bridge underneath the board on the footswitch pads. Or a melted switch due to a lot of heat being applied. I've learned to not completely fill the footswitch connections with solder for both of these reasons.

I have a similar size Craftsman. I had it on the corner of my workbench, held down by a big c-clamp for 10 years. Then I figured out that is fit onto a bench grinder stand. I bought 2 of these, one for my grinder and one for the drill. It's a good option IF the base dimensions of you drill...
