well I'm getting nothing but a high pitch whine that changes with the volume knob, pretty sure I fried at least one of the jfets. smd and my sausage fingers do not get along :cautious:

Howdy folks, I’m working on a skeptical boost build and the ic it calls for is a LF412CP which I’m not super familiar with and don’t have at hand. Does anyone know if there’s a quick and easy substitute?

Everyone I interacted with was extremely helpful, but yea, the price is just too much for me considering the competition's current cost. And yea, when I did the calc for doing $25 enclosures it was also prohibitively expensive. So much so that it makes you kinda worry about how much Tayda pay...

To do a one off it would cost more than $100. Tayda incredible pricing kinda makes you forget how must shops just aren’t geared for doing small orders.

Speaking of tayda spoiling us all, I explored getting some enclosures done by another enclosure place who will remain nameless for the time being, but my head almost exploded when I heard their costs 🤯

I get whine with the 1044 on certain power supplies that goes away with the 7660, for me it's been quite the upgrade! edit. I should be more specific, the 7660S is what I've been using, I believe there are versions of the 7660 that have a noticeable oscillation

Howdy folks, been messing around with 7660SCPAZ lately and have found them better in almost everyway to the 1044's I had been using. I don't know if there's any downsides to the 7660SCPAZ yet but they seem to play much nicer with power supplies than 1044's so if there's any trade offs folks...

I know that's a vintage correct replica of a Burns Buzzaround enclosure but I make a fuzz called the Sauron that that enclosure would be kinda perfect for as it almost looks like a piece of Sauron's armor (especially with some etching) but I haven't pulled the trigger just yet since that price...

the way the led is drawn is a bit confusing, but if I'm reading things right there's a little line to show where the led lead ends and the resistor lead begins. I know having the resistor for the led is kinda traditional (tho a vintage acurate fuzz face doesn't have an led) but this is one of...

I'm curious if anyone's made this pedal using through hole parts for their jfets, would something as common as a 2N5457 work? Or J201?

I think the high end cioks power supplies like the dc7 let you select the voltage like that for each ouput and I believe each output is isolated from each other since it's transformerless and is a high-end switchmode power supply. I think Voodoo Labs more recent releases like the pp3 and pp+ as...

I have the pedal power 2 plus and it's not the best when it comes to isolation compared to newer power supplies. I've had high pitched whine with pedals that use voltage doublers on the pp2+ that will go away when I've switch to the newer voodoo labs x4

oh I wonder, I did find the 42TM019 on their site, definitely thinking there was a mix-up now!

Howdy folks! I recently ran into a problem with the transformers I got from Mouser for a pickup simulator for a fuzz. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Xicon/42TL019-RC?qs=LQJGOuQCHKQvdQULYKLc4g%3D%3D&countryCode=US&currencyCode=USD I've gotten the 42TL019-R before from Mouser but the recent...

I have an issue with this build myself. It only works if I'm using a very high mA 9v dc adapter edit - nvm it was a bad solder joint at the dc jack. that symptom was new to me tho lol

I don’t remember the exact transistors but both germanium, pretty standard low ish gain if I’m remembering right. For the bias trimpot I’ll set the external bias to noon then dial the internal trimpot till I see 4.5v on the collector of q2. That way the external bias control has a bit of wiggle...

Does anybody have a template for this?

I'm sorry to say I don't have a drill template for you that has the switch located, but a tip for situations like these where there's a switch in a non standard spot; I'll usually still have tayda drill out everything else for me with my standard 3 knob template and then use the build docs...

Welp, I forgot to solder in the second side of two components.... we're in business now and soundin glorious!

I'm having troubles with my tactical fuzz build - https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb656/ First off I know there's no transistors in the sockets in the first pic, I've tested two working good pairs of npn transistors with matching pinouts to no avail. I will say I'm not sure I've ever got a...
