    Tayda order - EU Customs process

    If you're in Finland, in my experience they literally send you a text message with a link where you will pick if you wish to do the declaration yourself or use their service. If you're not, I assume none of that happens because nobody else seems to be doing it? So it's possible that it's...

    Tayda order - EU Customs process

    I'm sorry I can't help with your specific issue, but to explain why there aren't more horror stories, for example for me I get the option to choose between having DHL do the customs process for me, or doing it myself. I do it myself since in Finland as long as the total value is under 150€, I...

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    Hmm, yeah, that sounds like a good idea - but no, I just have the bare minimum of multimeters (no connectivity beeper mode either, I just use the lowest resistance to check for connections) and nothing better.

    Is it worth trying to fix a power supply?

    It took me a while to get around to it, but I finally got working on this. And the issue was exactly as you described! D301 was shorted, I desoldered it and the rest of the outputs came back to life. I have no way of checking for ripple, but I won't use it until I get a replacement part. The old...

    125B PedalPCB Sandblaster Fuzz

    https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=NHhqd1kwNW5uemlwVWxtZENXOURHdz09Cg== Verified I compared the 4 knob template (Son of Ben) to the Sandblaster build docs and it seems that they match up, except the LED hole is a switch, there's an another switch, and a led hole lower down...

    Stiff pots?

    Not really directly pedal related, but it could be. A volume pot on one of my guitars is pretty stiff. I'm wondering if there's some tried and true method to fix it? What I found by googling is letting the pot soak in lighter fluid overnight, but that seems kinda overkill, plus I would need to...

    He's asking about the 3DPT board specifically. Yes, they are the same way around.

    Son Of Ben Q2 Bias Question - affected by gain knob?

    I'm sorry, the best I can do is "I think I read once in some instructions to bias the pedal with knobs turned to certain positions, one of which might have been a drive or fuzz with the gain turned up, but I'm not sure". Hopefully someone can actually chime in with some actual knowledge.

    Even more new Tayda colors!

    I love the metallic enclosures I got in my last order and will probably use them more in the future, but note to others, they are a little bit darker in real life than in pictures. Still absolutely gorgeous though.

    Genuine spring reverb build recommendations?

    You don't need that much space tbh But tbh spring reverb sounds nicer to me for guitar, personally. That plate would be cool too, though. I wonder if you could put an extra table on top of it and use it as a table too so the space isn't wasted? Maybe that would kill part of the reverb though.

    Genuine spring reverb build recommendations?

    FWIW I suspect it's not quite that important to get exactly right anyway since it controls the compression, but you still control the amount of compression with the pot. So as long as it's somewhere in the ballpark, whether you have to turn the compression pot more or less doesn't really matter...

    Genuine spring reverb build recommendations?

    I didn't even check yet, but the original creator mentioned they got all the parts from Tayda - they seem to be out of stock now, but I think I have some from a previous order, and https://www.taydaelectronics.com/photo-conductive-cell-resistor-ldr-540nm-radial.html is probably also suitable. I...

    Genuine spring reverb build recommendations?

    The gerber files are on Github. I ordered mine from JLCPCB. At least I hope it did right, uploaded the .zip, it set all the settings, just changed the color and removed the order number.

    Genuine spring reverb build recommendations?

    That looks really cool! Thanks for linking it, I put in an order for the PCB's, will have to check what parts I need for it and figure out an enclosure. I would note that build documentation is not that thorough in my opinion, since the drill template is missing from what I can see. There's the...

    What's on the workbench?

    There's the Kingtone Minifuzz 👀 Although to be honest I probably only like the looks of that one. Actually looking more at it it has a 4 position DIP switch for tone on the outside and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

    Finished Vero board insulation

    Tbh with the latest one I just ran the footswitch wires over the board so they're insulated from the back. The pot wires (and components) handle them not touching anything on the front. And yes, the board is the wrong side around compared to normal, that's just how it went ok, don't judge me.

    PedalPCB 5-Loop True Bypass Switcher

    125B enclosure $6-8 depending on the color, drill service $4.50, UV print + gloss combined is $6 ($5 if you order 5 enclosures at once). Bigger enclosures cost a bit more. So custom drilled and printed is around 20€ (notice currency change) with taxes and shipping (assuming I order the ~150€...

    PedalPCB 5-Loop True Bypass Switcher

    I really appreciate you using Tayda, because as an European I feel like there just is no other option for me for printing and drilling services. If they stopped operating for some reason I might try looking into ordering in bulk from AmplifyFun or something like that to see if that could get the...
