Fig was very much part of what makes this community great. The legacy lives on! (And it's a great pedal)

As a hobbyist, a relay based bypass with an MCU is appealing because it opens possibilities to do a multi-function IO board and be more efficient with my time. For example, the below prototype has over-voltage protection (and sensing via MCU), polarity protection, 5V/9V and VCC out. Without...

Time for a probing. An audio probing.

2.54 x 5.04 (or 5) mm caps are what you’re after. You’ll find them easily up to 220n.

It's an unwritten rule not to look at other men's knobs.

Swarf was a new word for me! Nice.

You can try keeping the in and out away from each other.

Great stuff mate, if you're using KiCad then the interactive bom plugin is awesome. Also, need some ceramic footprints!

Awesome stuff! I love those colour combinations. I agree with 1590A, I loathe building those, the tolerances are too tight! I definitely recommend the Texel, it is my favourite boost by far. Quiet and goes with everything!

Thanks for those interesting tidbits. I had assumed that because the audio was going to ground that I didn't need to care about it so much and I could prioritise the shortest traces on the audio path going through to out. I still have some thicker books to read on this subject. :D

From the sounds of it, the mids is useful (though it'd be useful to use that 6th position for the LED). Bypassing it is just R10/TR1 to Q4, right? C3 is tantalum, does that matter? I thought it wasn't audio signal being passed forward, rather just dumped to ground?

Nice!!! Always love seeing engineering evolution of the builders here.

I thought this was a weird fetish thread.

Of course, you do you, but I like to manually route because I have an understanding of what components should be grouped together and where the audio path runs. I try to group logical components together (ie. all the power section, or all of a single gain stage) and give the audio path priority...

I just rolled my own. It was easier in the end.

Love your work. The new IO module looks great!

Kicad. By far the best.

I love to see the evolution, great stuff. What happened to the "IN GND SW OUT" standard? Then it becomes a drop-in replacement for most PCBs out there. Plus, you can use pin headers to attach which is 10x simpler (and 10x more annoying to de-solder). If you're looking for further...

Nice. The base pedal is pretty nice, so eager to hear this. I would be surprised if the GH model isn't much more than a lower gain variant.

It's nice to standardise the IO if you ever want to share the board with others.
