    Insulated vs non-insulated jacks

    I thought that was the case! Just confirming. Though I do like how the insulated ones look better! Thanks!

    Insulated vs non-insulated jacks

    Hello friends! Rookie question here: when is it appropriate to use insulated jacks vs standard? Or am I confusing terms and off base? Insulated: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/6-35mm-1-4-stereo-insulated-switched-socket-jack-solder-lugs.html Non-insulated...

    Dual Drive

    Hello friends! Since I got my other pedals fired up and working, I decided to bite off some more. I think I’m going to put both the informant and son of Ben in one enclosure with an order switch to stack either way. Any suggestions for alternatives with them? I love the sound of both and think...

    Thank you! Not so much when you look closely but looks great from a distance ?

    Sea of the Unknown (Mantle Fuzz)

    It’s alive! Built this for a friend and am really liking how it turned out. Not my favorite effect but it’s a beast! Used a waterslide and accidentally kicked the stand while I was putting clear coat on and it fell in a pile of leaves... so not perfect - but par for the course with my skill...

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    IT'S ALIVE! I stuck the TL072 in and fired it up - works like a charm. The 4558 must be bad. It sounds great with the TL072 - what changes with the 4558?

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    1 and 7 both seemed really low to me, but I don't have enough experience to know, just guess haha I'll check everything again.

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    I don't have another 4558 on hand (more coming in a few weeks) - can I try putting a TL072 in the socket and see what happens? Would that help at all?

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    There is solder in there - but I reflowed it and added more. No luck.

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    I will when I get home tonight! When I did them last night, they tended to either be 9.2 or 0 though, which I thought was strange. I'll record them and upload a picture.

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    I'll give them a reflow and see if anything happens! And I've totally done that too but triple checked that it wasn't the case haha I just ordered stuff to make a testing rig to not have to follow box until the PCB is tested so hopefully that helps sort stuff out. If the IC was fried - would...

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    Awesome - I'll check them out. I just started tinning the leads but I don't think I'm doing it correctly haha but to be fair - they look much better than my previous pedals wires did so improvement! I'll take a look at them though and redo the ones that are bad. For the bottom circle - I was...

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    Yes power to the LED and yes sound in bypass. I'll clean up those bare wires and give it a good clean again too.

    Mantle Fuzz - No output when engaged

    Hello friends! I have no output when the mantle fuzz is engaged. I'm very new to this and not entirely surprised - but thought I'd post to see if anyone had any thoughts! I'm terrible at soldering and am working on it. I was really impatient and did not use sockets for the 4013 so maybe I...

    Teddy Rupture won't work

    @lmajcen - I'm in the same position right now. Was your LED just reversed? I have the positive (long) end through the square pad.

    Accidentally purchased illuminated 3PDT breakout

    Hello! I accidentally purchased the illuminated 3PDT breakout boards instead of the standard. Can I use it as I would the standard breakout board? Thanks!

    Combining Deflector and Dark Rift into one enclosure

    Hey friends! I'm hoping to make a killer reverb/delay in one enclosure. My top choice right now is combining the deflector and dark rift. Any objections or thoughts? Is there a better delay you would put with the deflector?
