The build was actually really easy but waiting for Tayda was hard. I went with a matte army green and the chunky knobs to make it feel like a Big Muff. I threw in some Russian NOS Ge transistors and Russian Ge diode as well. Overall it's a Big Muff with a wide range of "toans" as they say and it...

I ran across this page: https://note.com/good_sound_shop/n/n1b50c75cb41f (thank you to google translate) where they discuss trace width. The guidelines suggested for guitar pedals are: Audio trace width .25mm Power trace width .5mm Don't run power and audio traces in parallel to each other for...

Another simple tip for your KiCAD workflow is to pin your most used Symbol and Footprint libraries to the top of the selection list. You can do this by opening either the Symbol Editor or Footprint Editor and then on the left side where the libraries are listed, right click on the library name...

As a former W2W guy, I approve of the iconic Gulf Livery.

I really love the Clever Hans circuit. It's a blast to play.

I generally route in, out and power traces to their first connections and then will do the routing of everything myself. If I don't like the way I routed it, I just delete all the traces and try again, then finally, I'll do autoroute to see what it suggests. In the end, I do a mix of auto route...

I just finished going through the course and it's very good. His lessons on PCB faceplates is really good, even if his workflow doesn't totally follow mine. It's worth it.

A few thoughts.. Do clipping diodes to ground instead of Vref. Add 100n caps at the V+ to gnd at each op amp. Increase C14 to 47u.

Yup, this was a much better course than I was expecting. It'll be the one I suggest to folks starting out.

I try my best to not have them but I haven't seen anything that says having them is bad in a simple audio circuit. I'd be more worried about running audio signal traces right next to power traces. However, I'm sure someone will correct me now that I've said something. :)

For the PCB: In - effect signal in Ctrl - the switch that connects LED cathode to gnd Led+, Led- the led itself Bp - ?? Out - effect signal out For 3pdt: In - Jack In Fxin - to board in Led - the ctrl signal Gnd - ground from board Fxout - effect out Out - jack out

Of course! This was a really great layout and I love the bypass switching using really common ICs. I've been digging into using the 40106BE to handle two bypass switches since it doesn't use all the pins for a single one.

Way back when @MattG posted his original build of this, I asked for a PCB of it which he graciously sent to me. After getting all the parts, it went together very quickly which is awesome but I dilly dallied on the faceplate and getting an enclosure for it... thanks to life and work getting in...

Real cool! Do you just use/expose the copper layer to give you that second color on the faceplate?

I just ran across this course from Pedal Division, it's much more inline with what I believe the Wampler Course should have been. He even goes into SMD and layout templates, etc. it's also only $60.

The face disaster is fun with the multiple starved.

I really want to mash this up with a noise ensemble.

I built a ton of pedals but didn't box too many up. The few that really stood out were: 1. PPCB Tone Vendor 2. Chuck's Bass Klon 3. Mad Bean Charlatan 4. Lectric FX Altered State 5. Foxx Tone My box of shame sits at about 30 pcbs (aka unboxed, completed pedals)

This is really interesting. It sounds like there is a fair bit of simplification that can occur in Shallow Water. The only reason I could see running the BDD and CD4046 at 5v is because IC2, the pseudo-rng, is also running at 5v and the IC2 output of the random staircase is 0 to 5v and they...
