Tbh I'm probably not going to get it anytime soon, I've already got a TC-1 and like I said, don't really need an oscilloscope. But if I do need one at some point, this seems like a reasonably priced option, if only for the oscilloscope itself. At least I haven't seen or heard of any...

Did you end up testing it on better germanium transistors? I ran into an ad for this too, and while frankly I don't need an oscilloscope, it's the cheapest I've ever seen (not that I've looked very closely). The signal generator having issues is not a problem for me, I'm mainly interested in...

Mine doesn't either, the lowest resistance setting works fine.

That sounds like what we usually call "a scam". Well, it could just be a shitty product, but drawing the line between the two is not always easy. Tbh I simulated a tonestack from a pedal in LTSpice and it was faster and easier than I expected, and it felt like I would get a lot faster if I did...

I don't think so no, I used this layout I think I found somewhere on this forum, but I'm not sure: I used a SPST On/On so I don't think it's possible to do that with mine. But I don't think it's a huge issue tbh.

I don't think it's buffered? Since the left side also works when toggled on, all I can think of is that one leg of the footswitch (the input-bypass-leg, I assume C3 in the schematic or pin 9 I guess) has a cold solder joint? Or the footswitch itself has some issue. Input and output both...

Dual-EEPROM (toggle switch) plus dry/wet stereo modded Arachnid, finally complete. Surprisingly painless, I had some issues after boxing because the stereo ring wire had a cold solder joint (well, more like just a shit solder joint) and I didn't understand how the EEPROM switching works (you...

Not strictly speaking true, because the switch is a DPDT that also changes the resistance coming from VREF. So if I understood it correctly, it lowers the headroom of the op amp when the high pass frequency is set to a higher value (so less bass). Technically it could cause flubbiness if you...

https://lorenzofiestas.dev/odod/ Found this based on the developer selling the prototype for cheaper on a second hand forum. Lofty marketing text, as is expected. It redefines versatility with it's groundbreaking Gain/HPF/LPF/blend controls. All joking aside, it looks like the guy wrote a...

My JLCPCB order that was stuck for a while in Qatar has arrived! No picture since I'm sure you've seen them before. Some South Obolon FX stuff, some from the forums (RWL Sharp Shinned Fuzz, Everlasting Tantrum, Boneyard Hybrid Fuzz Driver, Baron Samedi), a pretty cool decked out Muff board from...

Yes, you got the first part right. The layouts on the left are for perfboard, you basically create the connections with solder (or wire I guess) as shown on the image. Google perfboard and it will make sense. The bottom right is for etching your own PCB at home, I don't know the details but I...

I can't really talk about classic fuzzes as such - personally I feel more drawn towards pedals that have improved on specific classic pedal circuits, but I understood that's also what you are looking for. I'd like to give another vote for the Stoner Bee which is based on the Bee Baa I believe...

It's not that they're all shit - I'd even argue that the vast majority of them probably work just fine, and the ones I've built have been fine from a layout perspective. But you can either buy PCB's from people who do actual verification builds and fix issues with them, or you can buy from the...

"I get more pedals done in less time? That does sound better!"

It is obvious and mentioned on the page for the front drill template! I wasn't instantly obvious with the IO template though, is the idea that you can set it to two slightly different heights, or why are there two rows?

Forgot to post earlier, but received my Sheeplove order with some excellent freebies too! Plus drill guides which I sure need when looking at my recent self-drilled enclosures.

Switch wiring seems fine to me, that was the first suspect. An audio probe would be very useful here, do you have one or can you build one? It's very simple, just a few wires and a cap (100nF would be fine). The schematic shows how the dry and wet signal both arrive at the output mixer, if...

It's vaguely related so I'll share an anecdote. I built the Effects Layouts Sunnbeam a little back, and it was pretty noisy. I thought it might be the random RC4558 chips that were from different places and I wasn't sure if they are all legit. I replaced them with RC4558's from LCSC first (no...

FWIW "a piezo" is basically a contact mic. Acoustic (well, electro-acoustic I guess?) guitars often use them, and you can get bridges with built-in piezo mics so you can add it to a normal guitar. Might need a separate output or extra circuitry otherwise, though. With a bunch of extra...

Well... not really, in practice. There might be some special cases where it might be true (and for some FV-1 based digital effect pedals like the Pythagoras, you switch out the EEPROM which holds the code - so in that case it will be extremely different, but it's a very special case). But most...
