Both Tayda's tantalums and electrolytics are fine. For tantalum pretty much whatever (the choices aren't many), but for electrolytics get Panasonic, Nichicon, or any other "-cons" and you'll be fine. I also tend to avoid generic ones, but the Aion FX page you're referencing is definitely a...

Besides all the component salad happening in there, could it just be that you're running it super high gain to begin with? That could cause little to no audible variation in the gain of this pedal. It looks like your trimmer is set all the way to the right, that's MAX gain. The stock...

Have you tried giving it's pot of gold back? Sorry couldn't help myself. I'm totally useless in regards to your problem. 😵‍💫

Wow that's nice. I'm glad it's not as dark as the Tayda picture shows it

Anyone got pics of the new metallic candy red and metallic candy copper yet?

Ok cool! I'll take it as an opportunity share the results. Thank you!

I've built basically the essential lineup of these now. Several thermionics, several complexes, a little Debbie, and a golden pearl. I'm about to finish up a few more thermionics and another little Debbie and it got me thinking. Is there any value (no pun intended) in socketing the LEDs? Are...

You can solder to the legs of the pot OR you could poke your wire through the little holes for each leg for a little extra security

There's no max, but there is a minimum. I always account for an accidental 18v source accidentally being plugged into a pedal so I never get electrolytics below 25v. If I'm building a pedal with internal charge pump I try to go 35v+. Technically I guess there's a maximum since generally as...

Awesome, thank you both! I ended up ordering several Bat41 and 46 for these builds.

I entirely blame this forum alone for sucking up all that candy red and copper already. Tried ordering both of them today and they're already out! You animals! 😝

I don't believe in juju parts one but that's partially why I wanna experiment. Confirming the bullshit is bullshit :p

That was already part of the plan based on the recent thread about close enough subs for Ge diodes. Plenty in stock at Tayda for those luckily

Sorry, layout not schematic. But here's what I found EDIT: just realized it literally says Pantheon on the top, not Tumnus. I'll leave the link up as proof of my dumbass-ness...

I was only able to find one DIY schematic and layout for this pedal and it shows 1N4148's as the only diodes used in this pedal. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate? It just seems too cheap to be true lol The reason I'm asking is I'm getting ready to build 2 kliche minis and as usual I'm...

My money's on the socketed j201s not connecting properly

Yeah the power is just for the LED on/off. I stole a battery clip off a failed Caesar Chorus build of mine :cry:

I did the same thing with my blues deluxe and it worked great for reducing that massive volume increase you get between 2 and 3 on the dial. It does NOT give you power tube distortion, it's just a clean volume tamer. I built a fancy one with a footswitch and an LED. This is the wiring...

I hope these pics give you some ideas. The cable is just male-male DuPont wires and the foam that holds the PCB is 2 pieces of foam I glued together that came in a Seymour Duncan JB box lol. They were the perfect height to sit on top of the I/O jacks of the Auditorium while also allowing the...

There's a 3 way toggle for EQ. Center is standard TS mid-hump, bass and treble cut. Up adds some bass back in. Down adds high mids. Then there's a switch for the clipping options. Up is the standard TS diodes with clean signal blended in. Middle adds a lot more volume and openness, more...
