Thanks guys, you’re too kind. It’s a tough build to mess up. :) I’d highly recommend this OD to anyone. You can get a nice variety of tones from it.

Post away! It's an extremely cool build!

I've played guitar on and off (mostly off) since the late 70s, and had almost no experience with pedals until I started building pedals about a year ago. When I got the itch to build, I did a bunch of internet searching and came across a thread (on the GearPage site I think) which was a poll of...

Looks awesome - very interesting idea on the modular configuration (I think I said that elsewhere too....;))

To clarify, and echo what ttoliver said, the Cricut is NOT a good design tool. I would not use it for that at all. Once you have a graphic you like, it’s pretty easy to import it and get the Cricut to cut it for you. I’ve cut some very intricate shapes and it works great for that.

I use a Cricut and it does a great job cutting vinyl. The UI is a little counterintuitive (at least to me) but it’s very simple to use overall. I watched a couple YouTube videos and had it going pretty quickly.

Nice! Love the back-lit knobs. Been thinking about trying them and your pics have convinced me - they look great!

Thanks all for the input.

I've had a request to build a boost pedal, and am thinking about the Cleaver. It looks like I should be able to fit it in a 1590A enclosure. Has anyone tried this? (I've never built in a 1590A before). thanks

Thanks for the input everyone!

I'm thinking of building a reverb pedal but am not sure which one. I'd appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Here you go....

Wait, wiring harness?? Where did you find that?

Thanks - A good Font choice can make a huge difference

But the short answer is they’re probably 1N34A.

Check out the build doc for the Vulcan project at the Aion Electronics site. It’s also based on the Fox tone machine. I haven’t compared the schematics, but the build docs give some info on the diodes.

I started building DIY pedals less than a year ago, and have little background in electronics. So, FWIW... As a noob, I found that build docs can be really an important resource. Aion and Madbean both produce really detailed build docs. Even if you don't get a PCB there, the build docs are...

Okay, that makes sense. Having the jack sit inside the enclosure alleviates the issue with precisely aligning the holes also. I think I'll try it out and see how I feel about the appearance.

Thanks. I’ll check out the doc. I assumed the DC jack was this type, which I thought was meant to sit flush with the outside of the enclosure.

I really like the idea of the Power I/O Module. I built an Aion kit that used this approach, and really liked how neat it made the wiring. The only hesitation I have is cutting the square opening, and also locating all the holes in the enclosure precisely. Anyone have any advice for how to...
