no worries 🤙 if you want to try some different clipping diodes, you could pull the x2 mosfets and drop in a clipping switch here: (sw1 & sw2 to the points circled in red, can just use a regular on/on DPDT)

yeah that would be rad!

that's unfortunate. box looks great though! maybe could save it for something else. (would probably fit an UberDrive quite nicely) when this one first showed up in 'upcoming releases' i was pretty excited to see it and possibly breadboard the circuit. but, sadly, its just an 808 with a poor...

+1 im not understanding the problem requiring CMOS, that 555 relay circuits haven't been able to solve. IME they've demonstrated to work just fine with a 9V (& 12V) supply. i feel like i'm missing something here - it would appear that going for a more complicated circuit with a large 14pin IC...

yeah that's a bummer. but for a bit of perspective, it would appear you've built more pedals in the last three months than i did in all of 2025. you'll catch up in no time 🤙

the LED resistor is marked here as CLR (= current limiting resistor) also, you don't have to use 4K7. it depends on the type of LED and how bright you like it. IMO, 4K7 is too large (too dull) for diffused LEDs, for waterclear/superbright LEDs, i find around 22K works well.

chop all of the legs, as @Aentons has suggested. then try and remove each of them one by one.

yeah true, if the cost of housing didn't already.. 🥵

+1 pretty much agree with everything @z2amiller mentioned. diminishing returns etc. on the watt rating for resistors. you’re not running high currents in a pedal circuit to warrant anything higher than 1/2W or even 1/4W. i’m not qualified to comment if it’s worth it, but i guess you could get...

it's indicative of a connection/junction point - i'm pretty sure this is where one of the header pins would go, i.e. a point where one board meets the other

well, incidentally went to Ochanomizu last week. (first work trip/conference since 2019.) absolutely the worst thing for GAS ever. saw so much insane, awesome and rare gear that you'd just never see on a shelf here in dickheadland. even got to play an ESP M-II custom into a dual rec half...

DIY tuner that costs about x2 TU-2s to land

FMD i need this for all the socket threads

gosh these are cool. way nicer than standard box caps. where from?

no schematic?! denied!

💯 the gospel according to RG Keen: http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/carbon_comp/carboncomp.htm

no idea, but from my build report I had these mods: - R4 - 4.7M, R2 - 6.8K (for increased/improved output volume) - 2N3904 for Q3, Q4 (lamp drivers, ?something about higher current capacity) dunno about the speed mods but it looks like @zeropluszero has that covered above

this one's embarrassing when i was like 15, my bedroom was downstairs and it had one of these pull down cord switches for the ceiling light. the switch operated with this rocker thing inside. it wasn't heaps reliable, the rocker would sometimes get stuck and not switch between the terminals...
