    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    I'll send you a couple. Typically you want a normally-open momentary SPST switch, like this: https://stompboxparts.com/switches/spst-footswitch-soft-touch-square-top/...

    Bring out yer Diptrace

    I've started doing that on a few new projects. There's usually not room to mark them on the PCB though. I've put a few labels between lugs, but it's not consistent.

    Something is goofy with like button

    The most recent forum update uses predictive AI to determine if you really like the post you are "liking", or if you're just liking it for street cred... Performative likes are ignored.

    Colorsound Power Boost layout question

    Follow the stripboard. It'll work either way because there isn't enough DC potential to cause any issues, but technically the positive side of the cap should be facing Q3.

    My big problem

    I think it's a legit person, I found posts on another forum going back to 2018.... With that said, I'm not sure this is the best place for assistance but we do have a few STM folks here, so maybe...

    Aries Delta - Double Muffin Fuzz - Triangle and SUF 75.

    The Double Muffin doesn't have the tone bypass circuit. This doc might be easier to work with (just don't use the drill template): https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/MuffinFuzz.pdf

    source for 1/8 resistors?

    What do you need? I have a few. Mouser has these 1/4W resistors in a 1/8W package size, you'll have to find your values. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity-Holsworthy/LR0204F820R?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsPqMdJzcrNwmqCbm4q8Q%252BC6LgGxLLtOWk%3D...

    LED causing oscillation in my SL Drive clone

    It's more likely proximity between the input/output jacks and the PCB or pots. Can you post a picture of your build?

    LED causing oscillation in my SL Drive clone

    So it oscillates in the enclosure, but not out? I doubt it's actually the LED itself causing the issue.

    Skeptical buffer introduces noise when harmonics switch engaged

    Yep, try it without any digital processing in the chain. Maybe try a power supply that is in no way intended to power pedals.... (kidding)

    Skeptical buffer introduces noise when harmonics switch engaged

    Have you been using the Iridium the whole time? Strymon pedals have been known to not cooperate with charge pumps.

    Substitution for 1N5817

    Some folks would like you to believe 1N4001 is the key to good tone....

    Substitution for 1N5817

    What circuit? It depends... If it's part of a charge pump circuit you won't want to jump it.

    PCB Upgrade

    Depending on the type of data stored on the EEPROM, you might also need a programmer to copy it to the new IC.

    Duo-Phase LFO doesn't oscillate

    You have 470nF installed where 470pF should be installed. (C2A and C2B)

    PPCB ProtoBoard holes under breadboard spots

    The first versions had exposed pads under the breadboards that made contact with the power rails. The voltage for each breadboard rail could be set with removeable jumpers, rather needing jumper wires. The breadboards needed to be tightened down evenly to make contact and it was...

    PPCB ProtoBoard holes under breadboard spots

    They were originally intended for attaching the breadboards with small screws. They should line up with mounting holes underneath the adhesive layer on MB-102 breadboards.

    Ksr Ceres preamp

    I'm not sure what that circuit is but I don't think it's the Ceres. This is the Ceres. 60+ caps, 60+ resistors, 5 quads, there is a 4066 though.

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    Tape decks have belts and tensioners that will deteriorate over time even if they're unused.
