God I hate how pads look in the new PCB editor :oops:

Based on other peoples testing and what I've done, there's a couple of easy mods to squeeze some extra chooch out of it: *change to higher current inductor (as they're already on the border of being saturated) *change to a lower Rds MOSFET which allows more current (I use a IRFB17N50) *modify...

I've tried three different power supplies - everything from isolated switchmodes capable of 12v/1A, to unregulated 12v plug packs. No change whatsoever.

Yep. I got dozens of them, and only figured out when the classes I was teaching had working pedals but no LED. It's very annoying :ROFLMAO:

Did you ever get this sorted? Mine also has horrific noise, but it doesn't go away

Squeal significantly louder than signal levels

Ok, tried a few things: Decreased R5 (plate resistor on second stage) from 220k to 100k. No change Tried an old EHX 12AX7B I had spare from my amp. No change. Tested a 100pf cap in parallel with R13/R14 for RF suppression coming in, as well as across D/G of the J201 (in case it's oscillating...

Howdy, Built a King Nothing. Everything works fine, voltages are spot on (254v on the plate resistors, and 29v heading into the J201), but there's significant amounts of oscillation that decreases as the gain is turned up. Low switch has no impact on the noise, but the left position of the mode...

Complete isolation between the pre-regulated power and signal circuits, allowing any power supply to be used.

Rust-Oleum Matte Black printer + Dulux Marble Effects Gold. Couldn't have been easier if I tried. Pretty happy with the timber, and confident I can get the other build I'm working on done as I imagine it (if enclosures ever turn up from Tayda)

Got the base cut finally - very happy with how it turned out!

All great suggestions! I do have a couple of wah enclosures, and I'm pretty sure I've got all those components for the Pompei in spares.... And just for the laughs, this is the artist in question. Yes, that is a full size pedalboard attached to his bass.

I've built an 8 Bitar from them, and not super impressed with the PCB or documentation really. It could also be influenced by the fact it took 14 weeks to show up. Would rather stick with PedalPCB or similar companies

Howdy, Doing some fundraiser builds for somebody in my extended friends circle dealing with cancer, and the artist doing all the artwork for the builds really enjoys glitchy/super wild sounds (he owns a bass with a pedalboard literally built into it). I suggested we go for a suboctave build...

47's have been obselete for a while, but almost any schottky will work in this position. 1N5817 1N5818 1N5819 1N6263 (15mA max continuous) 1N5820 1N5821 1N5822 BAT41 BAT46 Etc

Had a couple of wah enclosures sitting around that I've been slowly rebuilding for a while. Had a couple of days off over Xmas and finally decided what I wanted to do with one, and I think it turned out pretty well. This was a test to see how laser cut bamboo would work for pedal enclosures...

Pretty nice. Not amazingly high gain, but on that spectrum. Tone controls are surprisingly versatile too. I don't have the exact values or parts on me, but I used a very low ESR filter cap, an inductor with a much higher current rating (as there's already something like 1.5A going through...

Had a guy bugging me for weeks about building him a tube preamp/distortion pedal, and to my absolute shock he actually paid once I steered him towards this! Using one of the C2CE PCB's, and a pair of Shuguang 7025s (probably the best new, non-stupidly priced 12A*7 variants I've found). B+ is...

It's not low gain, but nowhere near as high as I was expecting. Sounds pretty nice - not really my thing, but the recipient is super stoked

Super simple build report here. Friends son recently found out they're headlining a local festival, and decided to make him something to celebrate. Nothing too fancy, and he likes flames so had to include a couple for good luck. Very straight forward build, ended up just using schottkys instead...
