What exactly is the problem? Breadboards are pretty easy to set up..

JHS has a series of videos on the LPB-1 and Electra circuit, which are similar to this. They go in depth about tweaks to the circuit and are enjoyable to watch. It's on their "Short Circuit" playlist

I'm getting ready to do another Tayda order as well. My past two orders have been from Mouser, where I try to sort thru the components to find ones with no/low tariff. It's a lot easier to just order from Tayda though. Depending on the component and how much quantity I need Tayda is still...

I'm okay with this being an experiment. A few months ago I made another version of this circuit but in a much more condensed form factor. I'm going to use this circuit as a control as I learn about PCB design, so I can have something constant to compare different layouts. Almost everything I...

When you touch the back of the footswitch, with the pedal plugged into power and both audio jacks, with the footswitch disengaged, does your indicator LED glow weakly?

Pots are on backwards, belton brick missing, footswitch wired backwards, and your big elec cap can be changed to one of lower voltage rating to fit better

I used the extra holes in the PCB to set them up. Here's my build report with some close ups of the diodes

Nice job! Love the save with the clipping LED. When I made mine I set it up with a switch to select either 4148's and red LED's, but the LED's sound much better and make the pedal perfect with a strat

I just sent this into production. It's an MXR Il Diavolo meant for a 125b with all components board mounted. I spent some time dialing in the pad dimensions. Power and ground is on the top layer, and the bottom is signal path. It's meant to mount like a boss pedal, with the components facing...

You are thinking that the voltage thru the feedback loop is equal to your + input voltage, but it isn't. The voltage at the - input is equal to the + input. But there is a voltage drop across each LED and across the resistors. Therefore, the op amp is producing enough voltage to compensate for...

What's the big red wima? Should be a 1nF What's the horizontal line going across in your first pic of your second post?

I built a southland a while ago and it worked fine. It's a higher gain version of the lightspeed, so it has that squishy sound. But it sounded fine. Perhaps you're missing the second half of the dual op amp?

it's because of the way the feedback loop is set up. A fundamental function of an op amp is that it wants its pos and neg inputs to be equal. In the feedback loop are LEDs and resistors consume voltage, which means that the voltage going back into the neg input becomes less than the pos, so the...

That's cool as shit. My favorite memories from high school are of marching band. Our group was very tight, and many of us also did symphonic band and pit orchestra for the musical. I remember meeting on the weekends to construct sets for the drama production, and meeting over the summer for...

The LFO on these by design will stall at either end of the rotation of the rate knob. I put a 2.7k ohm resistor on either end of the rate knob to establish a hard limit on its range. This solved the LFO issue. I did a bunch of research and found that EQD themselves acknowledge this is a design...

Playing at the 21st or 22nd fret is fine, but playing any of the other frets is the hard part. Because the fret is high, any of the flatter notes catch on that fret and don't sustain. Any guitar solo is impossible to play with a nice low action

I had my American Standard Strat set up last year but the action is higher and it's more annoying to play than my cheaper SX Strat so I got into it - the neck had too much relief so I straightened it and lowered the action, but the saddles' height adjustment screws were already bottoming out. I...

I just bought a pickguard from Greasy Groove in Canada and it totaled to $52 so I'll see if I get slapped with anything when it shows up

That's cool! I did the same thing with mine, making it horizontal. You can make the Je Taime into a tchula if you want to fit it into a smaller enclosure. Also, there is the Twill Deluxe, which is a Les Lius. It has 3 modes, one of which says is a tchula but it's a bit different. The Thchula is...

I use iso and q tips. If you spend extra time you can get the sticky residue off completely by using more Q tips. When you apply the iso to the board is loosens the flux, and some soaks into the Q tip while some stays on the board because the Q tip is so small there is a limit to how much liquid...
