Yes, the rotary switch is set up such that in position 1, no voltage is sent to pins 16, 17, or 18, and none of the other modes are activated. I don't know which mode is the default one. You shouldn't need the jumper you installed given that the first mode is selected by disconnecting power...

I think it'll be ok. There's a lot of room in the 125b enclosure. I could probably squeeze this into a 1590b, but I like to keep the jacks far apart to accommodate pancake style patch cables. Ideally I'd like to elevate the DC jack to be above the audio jacks and in between the pots but I...

Perform a visual inspection of the IC and note back about what you find.

Your red side IC needs help

Hi, thanks for your reply. I saw the Tayda one but I wanted to spring for a nicer DC jack so I spec'd the footprint for this Switchcraft jack. I have two ideas for being able to disassemble the pedal - either elongate the holes for the pots/foot switch, pr the audio jacks. I had an MXR pedal...

I like mine, but it's definitely a one trick pony. I had to get a NOS Natl Semiconductor CD4049 from Small Bear for the clock control to work correctly - the TI version introduced too much noise

How many outputs do you really want? My board, which has something like 10 pedals, I can use a 4 output device as I'm chaining all the analog drive circuits together, and only the digital or modulation pedals get isolated power. I have a Voodoo Labs x4, and I used to have a Voodoo Labs Pedal...

is there an IEB0105S09 alt?

You can use a DPDT on/off/on toggle switch instead of the dip switches. The switches in the KoT allow for 4 possible combinations, but the manual only describes and intends use of 3 of them - soft clipping (one switch up), hard clipping (other switch up), or no clipping (both switches down)...

I'd like to get a smaller one that slides better and is maybe a bit nicer and without a center detent, but buying tools is a slippery slope. A super sharp pencil is my other favorite tool. These oversize ones are my favorite

I use a 12" Empire combination square for my drilling layouts. You can use it to make sure each pot hole is in alignment, and you can set it as a depth gauge and make sure they are centered and/or spaced evenly as well. It would be nice if it had 32nd increments, but the 16ths are okay for what...

I spent some time with the data sheets updating the pad and hole dimensions for the jacks, as well as some cut outs in the board for the enclosure screw bosses. I think it's ready! (in this pic the in/out audio jacks are reversed)

Here is a Resinite OD (Amber Overdrive), probably my favorite distortion circuits. While making this I learned it's a big muff, and I don't know how I feel about that. I wanted to make it without any off board components. It uses these jacks which are smaller than the Neutrik style. I was...

I'm watching a ton of vids on board layout, mainly on how to reduce or eliminate noise. I'm noticing that they all seem to be based on boards that operate with freqs in the mhz and ghz range, and/or have switching power supplies. Our boards are in the much lower audio range and have a low...

I'm doing this now as well. I'm thinking the flat plastic part of the jack that the threaded part sticks out from should be flush against the inner wall of the enclosure. The jack should be nutted (smh) onto the enclosure semi tightly so it is secured but still able to be rotated, and then the...

LEDs come in a range of brightness. If your LED is too bright then increase the 4k7 resistor to something like 6k8. It's helpful to set up a small breadboard with an LED so you can try different resistors and get an idea for what you want to install to the PCB

This needs to be moved to an after hours discussion...

Try different op amps for that light distortion. The TL072's you have look sus The middle pin of the L78L05 is supposed to be ground. If you are getting continuity between pin 1 and 2, then your 5v supply is shorting to ground somewhere. Check anywhere that 5v is present, like Q2, Q3, and the...

24ga stranded silicone insulation

The grounds are fine as it is. Each ground is connected to each other so it doesn't matter where they go as long as they are all linked
