I have tried several 1N5817's. How I would test D5 outside of the circuit?

I am getting odd voltage reading on this build. On the 5817 diode, I am getting 9.44V going in. When I check the voltage coming out, it slowly increments up to around 135 mV coming out. R12 matches this voltage and R13 is roughly half of R12, and pin 5 on the IC is roughly equal to R13. If I...

It's a real treat when we get a little snow. All those 4x4's fly down the road like they're invincible. Until they have to stop. Idiots.

Yeah, the logistics is a deal breaker. And frankly, if I really enjoy the pedal, that is just icing on the cake. There are a few pedals that are out of the rotation or never made it at all. But the journey and anticipation were the treat. YouTube demos sound great but don't align with my gear...

I have been enjoying the builds and will continue to build more. But I wonder if any thought or efforts have been put into establishing a library of builds where an established member could 'check out' a pedal to see how it sounds and in turn would want to build. Obviously there would be...

I'm lazy. Ernie Ball .08's. At one point I ran 11's on my Tele, tuned down a half step. But then I got wise. The only one that can tell what gauge the guitar is strung with, is the player.

I charge Cost + $25 + Gratuity. My target market are friends and acquaintances. I'm transparent on cost to them. I tell them I'm happy with C+25 but if you thinks it's worth more to you feel free to tip. I build for myself but if I can move some, that is my 'business model'.

Start with a build that doesn't have a lot of parts. Reading the build list and sourcing the correct values and quantities is 90% of the project. The other half is correctly placing components/value and soldering. You will likely have shipping costs to consider as you will have at least two...

What is a waffle without syrup?

Bingo. I was using alligator clips to connect power. After I soldered on a proper connector the issue went away. Lesson learned.

Yeah, the weaker signal on pin 1 is what is throwing me. But at the same time the rate LED isn't lighting up too. Likely the two are related.

He wanted a foot switch that has a light around the base. He also wanted the rate LED to only be on when the effect is on.

Yes, working just fine. So good my brother wants to buy it, but wanted in a different enclosure and LED's arranged differently. Lit foot switch for on/off and rate light off when unit is off.

That is where I left it. I tried texting with it in various positions. No difference was made.

I had this working just fine but needed to put it in a different enclosure. After removing it and hooking up power the Rate LED does not receive power and there is virtually no output. Using a audio probe, on IC1, pin 2 I am getting a good strong signal. On pin 1 of IC1, the output is half of...

Did you get this resolved? I have the same issue.

What is a good DC jack?

Is this a general rule or just this circuit? Thanks for the info!

The issue I have with the insulated jacks is the tension they apply to the plug tip is minimal. If my pedals aren't arranged just right on the pedal board, the patch cables will pop out. This is only an issue when I am swapping out pedals or rearranging pedals. It's a PITA regardless.

The jack doesn't maintain a solid connection. I'm not completely done with the enclosure, but will post updates when it is finished.
