I also use that one (I think it's in all the PPCB docs too). The original PCB posted would have worked fine, the only comment I have is that the pins are usually "Input, pedal/board input, ground, LED, pedal/board output, output" in that order more or less, so you might want to stick with that...

In my experience, the cheapest small diameter DC jacks are shit on Tayda, those are the only component I've really had any issues with. But I use the outies now because they make my life easier, and the cheap ones are fine for that (as the bigger diameter DC jacks were too on Tayda, from the...

So it's similar in effect, but not as good as doing it this way? To be honest, it could just be that people don't really feel the need to "go the extra mile" in this case. Gain is usually set by ear, and as long as it's "good enough" where it won't jump a huge amount from a small bump on the...

I am very dumb when it comes to stuff like this, but I wonder if that is more about improving the "law behavior" when using a linear taper pot, and the issue is sidestepped by using audio taper pots instead, which could work in a similar manner without the extra resistor? At least the TS9 I...

The lazy solution would be to just tack a big muff tone stack into the end? Or just a low pass filter too might work, like the RAT. I'm not sure what the modded tone pot is doing, could also be something like that already, but maybe just tuned weird. I added a simple low pass filter to the combo...

https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2013/01/mxr-distortion-w-wampler-mods.html one comment said the tone worked backwards, so... maybe it was swapped due to that? Hard to tell. A couple of other comments call out the same 2n2/22nF thing, but no answers really. Also the tone pot could be 1M or...

22n or 2n2 will obviously make a difference, but isn't it all the same whether two legs are attached to ground or just one? In either case it's essentially working as a variable 1M resistor between the cap and ground. You could essentially only attach two of the legs anyway and leave the third...

I've built the Moonn Dream and it's great. Also the Moonn Reverberation machine and it's not great. But I don't think it's Moonn's fault (and disclaimer, it is probably fine for doing experimental ambient noodling around, I'd just prefer it to work in a way where I can toggle it on and off, and...

Are you sure the BOM is for this board? I don't see FB1 or FB2 on the BOM either.

There's also this https://hackaday.com/2018/11/29/build-a-plate-reverb-from-ikea/ But tbh I'm not sure how great it sounds. No guitar in that example, and for digital drums and synths the easiest comparison is the million audio plugins which obviously will sound "nicer".

From my experience as doing live sound and also mixing recordings, it just sounds like the kind of thing someone thinks they want, and later on with more experience understand they were mistaken and it is not a good idea. In my opinion, it's reasonable to try and help someone if that is the case...

Sorry, HM-2 below 80Hz? Is this for a bass? Or an idiot? Sorry I'm being a very judgemental but unless it's for bass guitar, is there no bass guitar or kick drum involved?

This is the smalles one I can think of https://shop.mas-effects.com/products/3-picofuzz-pcbs But you don't need that small I assume. Edit: Here's one you can stick a 3PDT into https://shop.mas-effects.com/collections/diy/products/stompfuzz if that fits in the can, I'm not familiar with Zyn cans.

To add to the other comments: For electrolytic caps (and maybe some other caps too, but less commonly - I think mylar caps might be one, they're usually an "alternative" for film box) you need to keep the voltage rating in mind too. Your best bet is getting 25V or 35V (or even 50V) rated...

That's a good point - for a reverb that goes into overdrive or distortion (or even fuzz), you don't need to be so hifi.

I find that a small amount of room reverb where you don't think it actually has any reverb, but notice if it's gone, is great. But I'm not sure if I would bother doing that if I wasn't using a multi-effects pedal.

To be honest lately I've just been using some slight room reverb from the Quad Cortex, or VST's for recordings. I don't play often with a lot of reverb, I'm more of a rhythm guy and it's so easy to lose clarity. That being said, I've built Gravitation (which is... fine, but nothing amazing to...

Probably @szukalski https://github.com/szukalski/pedal-simple-relay, the v2 SMD board is tiny, but unless someone can send it to you you'll have to order multiples from JLCPCB.

Yep, it is annoying and tricky at first, but it does get much easier. The electrolytic caps are really the hardest ones, since you need to keep size and voltage in mind (and getting higher values in the required voltages means they can be too large, at times). It's not really an issue with most...

Yeah the 400V ones look too big to fit very well (you might be able to lay it sideways just for a laugh though), but be careful with those 6.3V electrolytic caps, most pedals run at 9V or higher and 100uF sounds like it might be doing power filtering duty, so you should preferably have at least...
