No ticking! I’ve never tried shielded wire, but I do always route my in/ out wires as far as I can from the pcb.

Caesar / Walrus Julia Chorus I built one of these three years ago, but gave it away to a cousin who was taking up guitar. Feels good to have one again, and to finish something. This one has been on my bench for months. Hopefully whatever I build next goes faster. I've been having fun with the...

I haven’t plugged mine in for a while, but I don’t remember it being especially noisy.

Not sure if what you’re describing is normal, but I remember being confused by the controls on mine. It made more sense once I watched some videos and looked at the Fairfield site.

Nice! That seems like the most important/ useful function. Eventually some of us get over-optimistic about our build capacity and end up with more PCBs than we’ll ever realistically finish. Sometimes newer PCBs jump to the head of the line and get built using parts that were bought for older...

That looks super slick and like something I could use! I'm interested in how you're implementing the build status field - Does the quantity in yellow for the 47nf capacitor indicate that part is allocated to a planned build? If the build moves to complete, are the quantities decremented...

+1 for Jet. I've got a JJ350 baritone and it's been great.

@Band of Dans , @tegendemuur, @jwyles90 - for desktop modules, could you just velcro them to plywood pedalboard-style? Then either use it stood up at an angle, or flat, but be able to stash it when you're not using it? Not the same problem, but here's a shot of my rack project...

What about the other 1/4? I’m 20 years out of apartment living, and I’m very thankful to have space for all my hobby nonsense, but I still remember working in a small space, and I always appreciate seeing how all you city dwellers on here solve the problems of building and making music in a...

Graphics or not, the outside of a pedal is the boring part! I’m mostly interested in the guts. Particularly on a nice stripboard build where there’s evidence of some problem solving and thought. I’m just a pcb-er, but every time I see a nice DIY board it makes me want to make the leap.

Good luck @zeropluszero

Generating marketing images (and text) with AI strikes me as distasteful and lazy, but doesn’t make me think the product doesn’t exist or the whole thing is a scam necessarily. I think AI for it’s native users is just becoming the default way to complete digital tasks. I do a pretty deep...

Another great read in strip board layouts! You’ve been on a roll with these. Have you been putting these in pedals? Rocking before you box? Your finished stripboard work is always nice to look at if there are pics…

That’s sweet. I knew Korg did a 2600, but I hadn’t seen the odyssey.

I suspect that would help. I also wondered about opening it up and leaving it to bake in the sun for a day or two. That can be a pretty good smell killer. Trash picking, estate sales, repair work, DIY builds, are all closely linked for me. Treasure/ deal hunting is part of it, but I also like...

I’m in a similar (flipped) relationship. It’s important to only have one trash picker in a marriage.

That’s some grandma from the depression shit.

My money would be on something off-board. Footswitch, jacks, those wired pots maybe. Sounds like a great job for an audio probe. Do a search here for how to build / use one if you don’t already have one.

Yeah… that’s why my yard is full of junk… for art!! Sadly that cool briefcase got banished to the junk pile when I realized it was the reason my shop had started to smell like cigarettes and barf.
