These are pretty good examples of what is happening. As you can see, I lost some border but also random text as well. The edges of the film do hang over the edge of the enclosure so perhaps i should cut those a bit smaller but i wanted to give space for the border. But the lost internal text...
I keep having issues with the border on my prints coming up. I think it may be that I’m not applying enough glue but I’ve also considered that I may need to thicken the border itself. How thick is the border that you use?
he definitely has more PNPs!! I've also picked up some diodes from him as well including some D2Ds to try out in some Rats.
right now, I'm trying to wrap my head around PNPs with center negative dc jacks but can't make it make sense. I noticed my R2R pedals (a Ge Distorter and a Treble Booster)...
I've been mostly picking them up every once in a while from Oleg (sovcom) on eBay. I've got some MN20/MN20a packages coming next.
I found this handy graphic of the different Russian transistors with electrical characteristics listed for each and have been trying to get things across the...
I’m at a band competition with my youngest son. He had rehearsal all afternoon so I brought a box of germanium transistors to test/sort. Actually, not a bad way to spend the afternoon…
I like the tchula a lot. I like it enough that I ordered another pcb and built one as a gift for my buddy because I thought he needed to try it too. I would like to find a schematic for a box of awesome which is a Kalamazoo and an OD11 paired up apparently and give that one a try. Haven’t spent...
100% agree! I'm not sure what rock I've been under, but all of these lovepedals that I've been building have been a lot of fun. so far I've built the stevie, the champ, the jtm and the tchula. I have the blackface deluxe pcb in the drawer as well.
have really been impressed with the Lovepedal clones that I've built lately. Picked up the Super Stevie OD a couple months ago and got around to it this week. Not a difficult build and sounds really great. Really amp-like OD. Apparently supposed to be reminiscent of cranked BF Super. I really...
I used these templates:
https://www.pachydermpedals.com/tutorials/templates/
I create a new document and then copy the template of the enclosure size I want into a new document in Affinity, print them on regular paper and cut them out to just lay on the enclosure to test for fitment. I'm using...
I'm realizing that I have overbaked mine. I did more enclosures today and the clear film basically just melted onto the enclosure. I followed the instructions in the paper which is too hot for too long apparently. I just noted your rec for 10minutes at the lowest setting, so that's what I'll try...
Thanks for this tutorial!! I used it today for the first time and it worked out really well! I am still working out dimensions/templates for things and how to bring the drill templates from PedalPCB into Affinity for editing/printing. I wasn’t prepared for how much of a PITA removing the backing...
solved!!
had wired dc jack in reverse. i overthought it. wired the negative to the positive terminal and the +9v to ground lug. then when i plugged in the reverse polarity cable, i guess it was reversing my reversal. stupid mistake, but a learning moment.
So I have wired up my PNP FF on tagboard but have no sound when I plug in the guitar. I have gotten the audio probe out and it seems to be fine all the way through and back to the input jack. Uncertain about what’s going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s not the cleanest wiring as...
Sorry to resurrect this old thread but wanted to just clarify the wiring for a PNP Fuzz Face:
As I understand it, I should wire the DC jack as I would for an NPN pedal and connect that to the +/- on the top left, omit D200/201 and C200/201 as well as the voltage toggle switch. Connect the -9v...
