    Mach 1 / Lightspeed

    Thanks! I do make those. They’re acid etched from a toner transfer. Another thing I do to make the process more difficult than it needs to be 🤣 Here’s a pic of the last batch of them I did. Post in thread 'What’s on *YOUR* workbench?'...

    Mach 1 / Lightspeed

    Thanks!! If you enjoy reading opinions about wire, you’ve come to the right place. 🤣 We’ve beat that dead horse pretty good. A search of the forum will get you lots of suggestions. 22 gauge solid is my jam. Currently using some from Remington, but I’ve also gone through a few multi-color...

    Pro-10

    Sometimes I get excited about that stuff too. I did a Mach 1/ Greer Lightspeed recently and that’s super smooth and refined. For some reason that one made me smile. 🤷‍♂️ I guess what I was trying to get at with my dog analogy was that I have a surprisingly hard time predicting what I’m going to...

    Two tone fuzz

    Nice! Those look perfect. No rack in my rig yet, but I have fought with getting synth signal levels right for pedals.

    Are you using any stomp boxes with your modular rig?

    El Sol - subbing caps?

    That’s probably what I would do, but opinions vary. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/when-to-use-mlcc-capacitors.28048/unread

    I love that for you. 🤣 Seriously though, I’m not surprised people like this one. I can’t even really explain why I didn’t connect with it. I might even pull it out of the drawer in a few months and have a different take on it. Lately I’ve been liking my dirt pedals a little dirtier. Like if it...

    when to use mlcc capacitors

    Anyone ever breadboard a circuit and audition these various capacitors types? I use crummy mlccs with wild abandon. Are we talking about human-discernible audible differences here?

    Pendulum Tremolo

    I mostly use these from Tayda: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/5mm-led-blue-plastic-cilp.html 5mm LED. That style lens clips onto the LED when you press it in. Sometimes I'll add a tiny drop of superglue from the inside of the box depending how the lens fits the hole.

    Thanks! @VanWhy @GizzWizzKing @BuddytheReow I had the bus wire out for the stomps and decided to just run with it. I keep changing my technique for aligned daughterboards like those. On this one, I cut and bent bus wire into little L shapes so I could drop them in from the top and the short...

    You know how sometimes a friendly dog will randomly meet a person and decide they don't like them for no reason anyone can figure out? Maybe try taking your hat off? Maybe he doesn't like people with beards? Maybe he smells something on you? I don't really like this pedal but not for any...

    Dark Rift Delay noise on repeats after 2 years

    Did you read through @owlexifry 's treasure trove of info in the first response? Not sure how you got two years without noise - the rest of us all got the noise as soon as we built these. Either way I suspect the remedies are the same. Some pt2399s may be slightly less noisy than others, so...

    Pendulum Tremolo

    I'm sorry you feel that way. :ROFLMAO: Not saying this is your situation - but I wonder what would happen with one of these if there was a problem where half the circuit wasn't working... I bet it would still sound like a weird tremolo.

    I forgot I built two of those! ha! I also liked that one better than the Woodpecker.

    Pendulum Tremolo

    Thanks! Weird about your volume - mine is at unity a little past nine o'clock. I think I read some other similar build reports where people thought it was weird that it had so much volume on tap. I know needing some boost is a thing with regular tremolos because the volume is down for half...

    Pendulum Tremolo

    The other trem I built was a Woodpecker, and of the two, I think I like vibey over choppy. Maybe the chop could make more sense for a part in a mix, but I'm mostly just over here noodling by myself. I took it back over to the bench to try tweaking the footswitch a little, so I tried on a couple...

    Scabbard inductor value

    I haven't built mine yet, but I did order the specified part, because I am a follower-of-instructions. 🤓 Is the consensus that this seems to be a do-nothing part? John at EAE seems more like the kind of designer who went to college and does the math, as opposed to the folks who are just...

    Pendulum Tremolo

    Harmonic Tremolo? What the heck is that?? Instead of using the internet and spoiling the surprise, I ordered this board and waited a year to find out. Turns out it's a cool vibey sounding tremolo. I guess kind of what I would have expected from the name. Google / AI gave me this which sounds...
