Hi All, So I'm in the planning stages for my first 2-in-1 pedal, which will combine a Notakliché with a Cobalt Drive. I'm currently working on the Tayda drill template for putting them in a 1590XX enclosure. I took the template for each pedal and then basically did the math regarding distance...

I should probably post individual build reports as I go along, but when I'm neck-deep in a batch of builds, I tend to get tunnel vision, so here's a quick rundown of what I've been up to for the past couple of months. Full disclosure: I haven't done any artwork yet. I bought a set of acrylic...

Hi All, I made the classic mistake of impulse buying a PCB a while back--in this case the Muffin Factory--and while I'm excited to take on such a complex build, I didn't check the components before pulling the trigger. Now I'm realizing that the 106NU70 germanium NPN transistors are pretty much...

I've been making progress on my latest round of builds, but with most of them, I tend to stop once the PCBs are populated and save them all for final wiring and assembly at the end. I could tell about halfway through the 6-Band EQ (slider version) that there was no stopping halfway, mostly due...

Hi All, So I'm getting ready to start work on my Notakliche, and as I was going through my germanium diodes, I found a couple of options: 1. Two 1N34A diodes with forward voltage of .377 and .388 respectively. 2. Two D9E diodes with exact matching forward voltage of .280. A little internet...

I haven't been doing build reports for each pedal as I've gone along, but wrapping up 20 builds seemed like a good moment to stop and share my results so far: I posted troubleshooting threads about a couple of these, and I did post a build report on the Shade of Night pedal, just becAcause it...

So my third or fourth pedal build was a Stewmac Two Kings KoT clone build, and I loved everything about how it turned out. I've never played an actual KoT, but the clone sounded so good. Based on my daughter's love of How to Train Your Dragon, I decided to do a fun riff on the original KoT...

I saw that the Patron template works for the Double Muffin Fuzz, but I couldn't find a Tayda template for that one either. The offset switch hole has me leery of trying to tweak a more standard template. Anyone have a Tayda template for either the Double Muffin or the Patron? Thanks!

Hi All, So out of the dozen or so PedalPCB projects I've built in past few weeks, all of them are working perfectly, except for the Butt Head pedal. The way that it's not working has me scratching my head, though, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has any ideas on where to even...

Hi All, I've been on a run of knocking out several PedalPCB pedals lately, and they've all been working fine on the first try, but my streak was stopped last night when I tested my Cobalt Drive pedal. It sounds fine, but the LED doesn't light up when the effect is on. I've checked the LED using...

Hi All, Quick question: I've built out the PCB for the Butt Head Distortion, and I'm getting ready to order the enclosure for it and some other pedals, but there's not Tayda drilling template for the Butt Head on the product page. Does anyone know if this one would work for the Butt Head...

Hi All, So I wanted to get some opinions on an issue I'm having with a Tayda enclosure order. I ordered several powder-coated enclosures on 1/3 that I also planned to place a drill order for. The order number didn't show up right away on the drill service page, but since it was the weekend, I...

Hi All, I'm finally getting around to starting a batch of PCBs I ordered last spring, and the first on my list is the Fumble Boost. It seems pretty simple, but as I'm gathering my parts, I've found that the build document on the website shows a J309 transistor, but in going over my components...

Hi All, I've been lurking in the forum for a while and learning a lot from all of you as I start my pedal building. I've done StewMac kits up to this point, but I recently ordered some PCBs from this site to start taking (at least some of) the training wheels off the process. I've been putting...
