hello, welcome ! First thing that comes to mind is insulating the pots so their back aren't shorting the pcb. A simple piece of cardboard or plastic between the EQ controls and the pcb should prevent that.

Not sure if someone already raised that point but what about EU customers ? I would suppose that most EU people aren't buying on PPCB website directly, the shipment fee from US to EU would be too expansive to make sense, not to mention the shipment delays. We all buy from musikding, i guess...

i have the same problem, it could be a pickup issue if i understood correctly. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/warscythe-volume-loss-and-sub-question.23872/

I'd suggest to remove the excess of solder under the toggleswitch (see reply #6). Remember to be quick because the plastic is heat sensitive, if you heat the toggle's legs too long it can melt the plastic inside and break the mechanism. Then, if reflowing the suspicious soldering joints, fixing...

Nantes ? Ici Rennes. I found my old post, see reply #3 : https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=126431.msg1208896#msg1208896 In my case it was weird. Adding an extra Rate led introduced some ticking noise much like yours. The circuit remained noisy even after disconnecting the...

I had a similar issue once, trying to add a Rate led on a Dandy Horse (EHX Echo Flanger). If i remember correctly a capacitor fixed it somehow but i can't remember precisely, and i sold this build. Did you try to disconnect the Rate led and see if the pop is still there ?

A chorus is a bit ambitious as a first build. You should probably start with smaller circuits like a Rat or a SHO booster. Looking at your pics, i guess i would try to work on these soldering pads. Lots of them are looking suspicious. Iron set around 400°C. Remove the excess of solder when...

Using this pinout : On the lower IC you should have around 4.5V on pin 5, 9V on pin 8. I guess you made a mistake with the pinout ? And yes The upper IC pin 3 should be at 4.5V too. Other than that the other readings are ok. You can try your luck and reflow all soldering pads around this...

Delyks made a CE-2 pcb with a CE-2b specs toggle to change the bass response. https://www.delykpcb.com/product/2nd-chorale-pcb/ This "W BASS" toggle adds a 22n (C16) to a 12n cap before the Effect Level control. Not sure if this can be applied in the Julia, i just thought that this mod is...

Are you sure that's only some flux? Toggleswitches are easily melting and malfunctioning if we heat them too much or too long. Just pressing on a lug when the toggleswitch's plastic is hot may break the mechanism. With a multimeter on continuity mode you can make sure they work as they should...

Check the solder joints, reflow all suspicious pads. Hunt for shorts. Use the multimeter on continuity mode to make sure. Check the ground network with a multimeter set on continuity mode, all ground points should be connected. Check all polarized parts orientations, caps, ICs, diodes. Stick...

I built a musikding kit, so i used parts that i've been sent with the pcb. What do you mean by match the components ?

It's a slow paced group, maybe give it some time. I'm also curious to know if it was a mistake, or a modification to the original schematics with some real purpose. I find this part unclear : "I can't remember why I decided to wire in parallel, but I'm not the only one and I seem to recall it...

remove the paint inside the jacks holes. The circuit is grounded to the enclosure through the metalic rings of your jacks. I can't hear much in your recording, there is some high pitch noise but it sounds kind of quiet. Could be the electrical environment. Does it do the same noise in other...

I noticed that my Star Chamber build has a weaker delay with less amplitude and repeats when i engage some circuits before it. For example a looper/mixer/blender circuit (Pro-cessor from TH Custom Effects), or even a Boss GE-7. I also have this drop with the delay response after a little EQ...

i admit that i totally forgot the rotary switch, good point. ...and the octave up sound on my build is quite disturbing, but maybe it needs some calibration. I wonder if there's a way to modify the octave up sound ? Form some sort of sinusoidal with the octave up ? Maybe using a trimmer...

The Rat distortion is a small circuit, which makes it suited for vero or perfboard builds. There are few components, so it's easy to make the connections between parts without a pcb. As a diy builder, vero and perfboard projects are the most satisfaying because we are really doing everything...

Nick Williams as in N.E.W ? He is on GCI builders group forum on facebook. His user name is NE williams. He replied to me once about a question on N.E.W Bass Overdrive.

On my build, when the effect is off there is some clean signal coming from TIME OUT, but quieter than at SPACE OUT. Connected to TIME OUT : When the effect is engaged, both flanger and tremolo activated, there is only the flanging signal coming from this output. The modulation is stronger than...

Both Flangelicious versions are interesting circuits. Unfortunately the classic version is very noisy, there's a faucet/liquid type of background noises. Only way to get rid of it is to increase the signal volume going in the Flangelicious and turning it down after it, to change the...
