Thanks for the transistor values, I need to choose the final transistors for mine still! I've had two builds where I'm pretty sure I've had actual smoke come out of them (IIRC it might have been transistors that had only 2/3 of their legs in sockets?) but I unplugged them immediately, and...

Ethically sourced human suffering when it's your own?

This worked fine for me https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=d0RidDhadTVnemZrRVBvaEFMOVA4dz09Cg== It's for an outie DC jack so change it to what suits you, or just copy the switch locations. Edit: I guess for posterity the Y positions are 38mm, 12.8mm and -8.3mm, so that's...

I can probably fit a 1uF film cap for C10 (and C6) without much issues.

For whatever brainfart reason, it seems that I ordered 470nF MLCC caps for the Arachnid instead of 1uF. Would I be fine using those, or should I just wait until I can get more 1uF caps? If it helps, I can use 1uF for C6 and one of C10 or C3 mostly easily, the others would have to be two of the...

FWIW I use a plastic box but do the same for resistors, they go from low to high so you can look for the exact value. I also did some cardboard inserts (just pieces of cardboard) because putting them back where I took them from was a pain in the ass - the cardboard inserts simplify that part.

Right yes, my mistake, the Binaura is stereo input too of course, the Arachnid is mono, but you can do the dry-and-wet pseudo-stereo output there. Still mono input though on the Arachnid. Only the Binaura is stereo.

Breakout cable or a stereo cable into something else that is stereo. As far as I understand, yes, it would act like a normal arachnid - you're sending the wet signal to the tip, as usual, with dry signal going to ring, and ground to sleeve. Mono cable only has tip and sleeve, so the ring...

The S8 manual mentions the polarity conversion cable, but it's a female-male, while the normal cables are male-male. So I assume that shouldn't be the case here - but they are marked center negative unlike yours. You could probably measure the cable end to end, sleeve-to-sleeve and...

No diagrams, and I don't know about stereo input, but I've got https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/unison-double-tracker-with-stereo-mod.26542/#post-344309 and https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/stereo-mod-for-unison-double-tracker-pythagoras.4138/ (the link from that previous post) as my notes...

It was both schematics, actually. Literally the same link giovanni posted.

I found the schematics here: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/photo-of-back-of-3-channel-mixer-splitter-pcb.25452/#post-324084 You can see which ones are which from the symbols, they're different. As a rule of thumb, all of the uF values are electrolytics, except 1uF can be either one. From...

To add to what Cybercow said: Are you sure the circuit itself is fine, or could there be an issue there? If it's a custom PCB, are you sure the layout is fine? In general, troubleshooting a pedal is sort of a gamble, you spend X amount of time on it and you might hit the answer quickly, or it...

What is that? I couldn't find any one knob noise gates with that jack configuration with a quick look, there's a Gatekeeper pedal from Pigtronix but it has two pots? Edit: Stone Deaf Noise Reaper might fit the bill?

Build looks great! The Github page says "Dylan159 provides two schematics, a PNP and NPN version. This PCB is for the PNP version, and it sounds great, with a crunchy tube-like tone.", is that a typo since this seems to be the NPN version?

I haven't really kept track of what I built and when, so I compiled some notes so I could answer this. Looks like I built 37 pedals in 2023, 21 in 2024 and just 16 this year. That being said, I have played too little to really get a solid top 5 going on, but here are the standouts: 1.) Fuzzhead...

FWIW the FV1 is only available in SMD format so if you're a beginner it's probably better to get it pre-soldered.

How tricky is that approach? For something with 4 pots for example the "balance loose pots" approach seems the easiest, but for something with 6 pots or especially with ON/ON switches (since they never stand up completely straight) it can be finicky. So I'm wondering if installing the pots would...

Ahh right, I've never done that because I don't trust that they will fit. I balance the board with the unsoldered pots into the enclosure, and then solder the pots.

Without doing any research, I saw Matt Berry talking on That Pedal Show about how there are consumer reverb units that were intended for people to add their own reverb to music. So I'm taking a wild guess that it might be because they come originally from consumer audio where RCA cables were the...
