    Basic question about mixers and the Iridium

    Hello! I use a Strymon Iridium as a headphone amp. Hoping to find a low cost, simple solution for mixing external audio into my headphones for practice. I believe I either need a mixer or an interface to make this happen. Not really interested in recording anything at this point. Should I be...

    Arche / Fordoble boost brightness reduction

    I'd like to reduce the brightness of the boost side of my Fordoble (same as the Arche). I saw @HamishR's thread (https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/simple-fordoble-mods.15776/) about a treble snubber at the output of the boost, but I'm hoping to find another way of accomplishing this. Can I...

    Pyrocumulus / Big Muff cap question

    I'm going to build a Pyrocumulus / Fallout Cloud / Muffroom Cloud, but don't have 560p MLCC's for the clipping section. What effect would substituting 680p here have? Thanks!

    Adding a buffer to fuzz with pickup simulator?

    Hi all, I'm building a Tactical Fuzz (Thorpy Tacit Blue), which is basically an NPN Ge Fuzz Face with a 42TL019 transformer. I also have a C-Buffer board that I never got around to installing in anything. Would it be unwise to build the C-Buffer into the fuzz? I like the idea of having it at...

    Can I make the Fordoble "Grit" switch do something (anything)?

    I'm very happy with my Fordoble build, but for the life of me I can't hear a difference between the settings on the Grit switch. I have the Ge diodes socketed and tried different arrangements and different diodes, but no luck. Other build reports indicate that the difference between settings...

    Trembling Loon rate LED brightness

    Hi! I think this is a simple question. I'd like to reduce the brightness on the rate LED of the Loon I just built. However, it looks a bit different than what I'm used to: I assume LED1 is the rate LED. Would I increase the value of R14 to reduce brightness? What's the function of R13...

    SOLVED Trembling Loon depth issue

    Just finished a Trembling Loon. It does the tremolo thing just fine, but the Depth knob isn't functioning properly: - There's no tremolo effect until about 10:00. It just sounds like a clean boost. - The usable range of the Depth knob is limited to 10:00-2:00. It's really sensitive in this...

    Vertical 1590BB 2-in-1 overdrive options?

    I have a 1590BB-sized hole in my pedalboard and a desire for a 2-in-1 overdrive, but in a vertical / portrait orientation. Aside from the Dane / Fordoble, what DIY options are out there? On a similar note, what's the feasibility of cramming two normal-sized (1.95"x1.95") overdrive boards in a...

    SOLVED Curds and Whey - Gettin' wonky in the box

    Hello! Just finished a Curds and Whey today that sounds awesome... but only outside of the enclosure. Once it's boxed up, it starts behaving erratically. Any or all of the following symptoms have occurred: - Sometimes the Blend pot only has full volume at the extremes and is very quiet for...

    Harmonic / amplitude switchable tremolo

    Hello! I'd like to build an optical tremolo and have my eye on the Trembling Loon. However, I also saw that the Pendulous will be available at some point, which got me thinking... Would it be possible to mod the Pendulous to have both harmonic and amplitude trem? I've seen some threads...

    Humbucker-sized P90 recs?

    Curious to hear if anyone has a HB-sized P90 that they like? It seems that these are generally regarded as not sounding like a "true" P90, but I don't have any P90 experience. I'm looking for something that has more grit than a single coil, but less output and bass than the humbuckers I have...

    Soldering tip recommendations?

    Hi! I have an X-Tronic 3000 Series soldering station: https://www.amazon.com/X-Tronic-3020-XTS-Digital-Display-Soldering/dp/B01DGZFSNE/ I'd like to get a variety of tips for it, but I'm not sure what specs to look for. Anyone have recommendations or guidance to set me on the right path? I'm...
