Yes I agree. I’ve done just enough SMD to know I don’t enjoy it at all. SOIC-8 is fine, but just about anything else is no fun.

Here's a comparison of the width: TurboTuner with pancake jacks = 67mm wide Peterson with side DC jack = 60mm wide 1590b with 3 top jacks = 60mm wide Polytune and 125b shown as bigger versions. So Peterson has a great tuner, but Q-tune's screen is a LOT bigger for the same...

Yes, we've been told similar things from other EE types, we've looked into it. Currently the esp32 screen we are using is GPIO limited, we don't have any more GPIOs left. So we'd have to get a GPIO extender and/or other complications. This type of thing is possible and we are interested in...

Here are the schematics if you're interested... because PPCB'ers love schematics! (This will all be in the manual) PS Section: Relay and ESP32 input: Signal:

Tayda drill and UV is currently our enclosure path. I'm open to others, but the price is hard to beat.

Good point. We will certainly make the Tayda drill template(s) available. I’ll look into a “no enclosure” option.

As a self-confessing tuner snob, here's my as-unbiased-as-I-can-be opinion: Turbo, Peterson and Poly3 are all great, but ALL the rest fall short for various reasons. Honorable mention to Canvas, nice big screen and similar 'screen' features that Q-tune does (colors, rotation, etc), but I didn't...

For comparison: Left to Right: a) Turbo Tuner ST-300 Mini - 1590A, 39mm wide, 93mm long, 31mm tall (with side jacks is ~70mm wide minimum) b) Peterson Mini - custom, 46mm wide, 90mm long, 32mm tall (with side DC jack is ~60mm wide) c) Q-tune...

Great reference thread: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/just-curious-125b-vs-1590b.22325/

I created another thread in this section asking about enclosure size. Would love your input. Thanks!

We designed Q-tune to fit in either 1590b or 125b, the PCB with top DC and top jacks is the same for both. While they aren't that different, the 125b is bigger. I'm wondering if anyone will want the 125b or if everyone will opt for the 1590b. 125b: 66mm wide, 122mm long, 39mm tall 1590b: 60mm...

Sounds fine on my iPhone🤷‍♂️

TT means TurboTuner. Yes! Comparison vid coming later this week: 1) Q-tune 2) Turbo Tuner 3) Peterson Mini 4) Poly3

1) Accuracy is tough to measure because when a string vibrates it varies +/- a few cents. So a tuner that advertises 0.1 cents, is incredibly difficult to measure that. We feel that if you are within +/- 1-3 cents, you are very in tune. That said, using a reference tone, Q-tune is as accurate as...

This is a great comment. Tune in to the live stream event Thursday, we'll talk about this a bit.

Thanks for the feedback! We totally get that Q-Tune isn’t in the same price bracket as something like the PolyTune 3 — and to be fair, that’s a great pedal. But Q-Tune is a different kind of product: it’s DIY, and it offers more features than any tuner we know of. It's made for builders and...

The design is done, last round of prototypes coming in this week. Getting our web site, inventory, etc set up. Pre-order (initial 20 kits) first week in June. Ship within 45 days, but likely by the end of June. Introductory price: $149. Full price $179. Live stream event on YouTube this...

Last summer, @joulupukki and I began developing a tuner pedal with the intention of making it a DIY thru-hole kit. Since we both frequent this site and have benefitted from advice from many of it's members, we wanted to share here first. Stay tuned;)

Yeah Kevin gave me some ideas. So one workaround I found was to: 1. make the board larger. 2. router 3. make the board smaller, creating the castellated holes. 4. accept DRC Dimension errors. I did this, and sent the file the JLC. It seemed to take it fine. But the upcharge on castellated holes...

I’m trying to do castellated holes in Eagle. I get a DRC Dimension error which I can approve. But the auto router won’t route the holes. Any ideas?
