I'm curious... What's the purpose of the resistor and jumper wire on the input jack?

This year was about filling my Nano+ board with DIY builds. To that end, I built the following five pedals: 1) PPCB Curds & Whey. I've wanted a Prunes & Custard clone since learning that it's on Wilco's "A Ghost is Born". Love the crazy splatty wavefolding sound, but I actually get more use...

So far I've tried D9B, BAT41, and 1N5817. I also have 1N4148, 1N914, 1N4001, and various LED's in my stash. Thanks for the tip about leaky diodes. I'll have to test my D9B's and see where they stand.

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...

Digging this back up to see if the OP was able to beef up the bass in the Caesar at all. I find that my build also cuts bass in a noticeable way, especially when it's on full wet / vibrato mode.

Slight thread drift, but using a nut as a support to push out pins is brilliant. Holding a socket in my fingers while I try to push with pliers hurts so much... no more!

Following up on this. I'm thinking about picking up the Tactical fuzz on my next order. I saw the Amplified Parts 2N1308's too... did you happen to check the gain and leakage before installing them?

Digging this back up. A lot of the germanium transistors on this site are marked "Used. Removed from retired equipment." Are there any drawbacks to not getting NOS transistors?

Just this SD-9. I had Analog Man do his "808 mod" sometime around 2000. Digging into it now, I think he just swapped the IC and a few CC resistors 🤦

UPDATE: Swapped in the GL5516 today, but still had the same issue. Turning the Depth pot clockwise past 3:00 caused the volume to quickly drop off. Interestingly, turning it CCW gave a volume boost around 9:00. As it turns out, this was the problem: I reconnected the Rate LED to the LED1 pads...

Thanks all. To answer Chuck's questions, I'm getting this behavior with the boxed closed up tight. When I take the lid off, I can see that the intensity of LED2 varies through the whole range of the Depth pot, as it should. This pot also measures correctly, so I think the issue is with the...

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...

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...

Same boat... I can never find anything locally. I've used Specialized Sport MTB shoes for a long time, but recently switch to Giro Ranger's. I like a 3 Velcro strap shoe. No buckles or BOA dials please. If you're an Amazon memeber, I think most of the Giro, Shimano, and fizik (and others?)...

This is an Electric Canary Iridescent delay that I finished in April. PT2399 with tap tempo and modulation supplied by the Bontempo chip that came with the board. I've been having a gas finding all the shades of delay and modulation in this thing. I'm using the tap function a lot less than...

I pulled the drill template down from a forum posting in anticipation of building one myself. Schematic too! EDIT: Here's the link to the template that Robert provided: https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/drill/1590BB-DrillTemplate_Fordoble.pdf

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...

I'm an architect. (Just like George Costanza)

I'm curious to learn more about this - about to build a Trembling Loon myself.

Thanks for the replies. Mental note to start a new thread next time.
