What are your favorite FV-1 programs from PedalPCB or on the web? Building the Arachnid pedal and just curious which 8 to load in. Thx!

phi1, Yes I might dig deeper with the hand written code once I become familiar with the GUI stuff after I learn all of the FX. I just loaded SpinCAD and there it was hidden in plain sight! Thank you for helping me get over a very frustrating hurdle. It is awesome that there are still people...

Wow thanks for pointing that out! I am digging the program but felt like I was stuck getting over the node description! Awesome people on this forum! Have you had success with your FX programs? Thx!

Does anybody here do their own SpinCAD FV-1 programming? I am playing around and able to build some simple FX chains but I am wondering if anyone has a "cheat sheet" on the different FX blocks. Many of them have several connections (dots) that you can tie a net to but there isn't any clear...

phi1...great advice. Maybe I'll buy one and try it with my Boss FX pedal and verify it's clean. That one you linked isn't much more expensive either and gets good reviews too! Thx!

sertanksalot thanks for the verification. I'll wait to pull the trigger to see if anyone else comments but I appreciate the reply! Great forum! I just got all of my components and PCB's and hope to start soldering later this week. Excited to build these and they will be gifts for friends so...

Comments on this power supply appreciated! It appears to meet the 9V, 1A specs. Tip Negative(-) design, 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel connector. I would appreciate a confirmation that this is the correct plug and polarity for the Arachnid. I'm open to other suggestions. I need to buy 3 so I am...

Chuck D. Bones...yikes I see what you mean! Thanks for the heads up.

Thx I will check the links!

Good info guys! Great website...Thx!

The title says it all: Where's a good source for 1/4" control knobs with set screws? Thx!

Can anyone tell me where they purchased their water slide decal paper? Do you just buy a rattle can of spray lacquer to finish? Is there a template to design the decal or is it trial and error? Thx!

Since you're new to components, especially capacitors, when using electrolytic they're polarized meaning they have a + and a - like a battery so they need installed properly or they can go boom...or just fail. Just match the plus + lead on the cap to the silkscreen on the PCB. Sorry if you...

I looked up the Spin Semi FV-1 data sheet and the sample circuit has 3.3uF caps so should be good to go! Thx!

The arachnid has 1uF MLCC caps in the audio path. Any harm using 2.2uF MLCC caps?

LOL sorry I did not realize that this was a "one man operation !" A website can make anyone look like a bigger Company then it really is. I'm not looking for extra things to do either but thought my idea was simple enough to implement. Anyway...I can look up my own values and will still have fun...

Not sure what build reports you're referring to? The black and white PDF's? Anyway can you link me to a copy of the arachnid PCB with the resistor color codes shown so I can use them as a reference? Thx!

I have an idea to make an already great build doc even better! Would it be possible to include a color photo or drawing that actually showed the resistor color codes in their correct locations? This would be a handy final inspection drawing or photo to match the assembled PCB against. I know...

I think I'm going to order a 1/4w metal film, variety kit online for my resistors. Anyone else use these bulk resistors in their builds? I know I'll have leftover values but they're pretty cheap. Is this how most people here buy their resistors? Now capacitors are a little different so...

Got it! Thank you for the great start to a fun project! I'll look for a Boss pedal power supply replacement on-line. Praying the world heals and life starts getting back to normal for everyone!
