Bud to single hop experimentals...I'll fuckin drink anything and probably find something about it to admire. I agree though, IPA's have oversaturated the market. Still, there is such a wide spectrum of achievable flavor profiles that I think it's quite possible to turn die hard haters into...

I like anything that has a percentage

Congrats! That is super! You must be so stoked.

Some do, some don't, it's weird. But I like a bit of intrigue in my life :)

I too have a big pile of em, but I just stuck a piece of masking tape and wrote was each are. I share your sentiment though as I've been at a loss once or twice until I just searched through my order list. One thing that works is when you're on the main page, search the SKU that is printed on...

Flippin beautiful!

Once you sort out that pot, I'd definitely second recommendation of insulating the back of the pots from the board for future builds. Of course, dust covers are the best option, but there are other choices...sticking on a rubber foot, a piece of heavy cardstock, etc... If you use electrical...

as far as I know, Vero is just the trademarked name for stripboard. They are one and the same

I've had power jacks fail but never gradually, they would just intermittently short out. How about some clear photos of the top and bottom of the board and wiring?

I think those are called "vias" and they connect the top to bottom of certain parts of double-sided PCB circuits. Just don't try to jam anything in em and you'll be fine :D

Well, then it's good you started the spreadsheet that early on in your DIY disorder. :sneaky:

Too long, I reckon. But what has invariably has happened for me is that every time I wanted to order a PCB I add the components needed to a Google Spreadsheet which became my inventory list, but I wouldn't buy the PCB yet, I would just add it to a to-buy tab in my spreadsheet. Once I had a...

That looks fantastic! Man, that's definitely not the first time you've been the first to build new releases. Impressive.

Shoot, I have 2 amps and they're both Fender, but the Chickenhead (Red Rooster) is my favorite sounding pedal I've made from here. Now I want to know why it would sound better through something else. Granted, one of them is a modified DIY Vibrolux with a unique "raw" control that makes is sound...

I feel ya. I tend to appreciate subtlety or understated aesthetic design choices. You know, with that history of yours, now I want to see what you could come up with...for labeling what the knobs do, haha. I dropped out of art school 25 years ago but it was always my dream as a wee one to have a...

Cool, I don't have the technical know-how to help debug anything but the only thing I can suggest is to try to work on getting smooth shiny peaks on all pads. Without knowing what you used, here's a few cents worth of info I picked up that has improved my consistency...If any joint/pad ever...

Couple questions... 1. What iron are you using? Does it have a temperature setting? If so, what temp? 2. What tip is on the iron? 2. What solder diameter and type are you using? 60/40, 63/37, etc... Reason I ask is because I'm seeing a lot of what looks like cold solder joints as well as the...

Old film posters (Criterion collection is a good example, also google "Polish film posters") and LP's of artists that might use said pedal are always inspiring for me. If I find a typeface I like I make a note of it in a doc I have. A huge helper is whatthefont.com. It finds similar or exact...

I have a drawer with around 50 DC jacks in it and went through em all and threw out all the fakes, maybe 10 or so. I just feel bad for the people I sold early pedals to. Just for peace of mind, I stopped buying offboard stuff from Tayda alltogether. Love My Switches is where I get offboard now...

Physical size is indeed all it really boils down to. Film or box caps don't really matter because they all have voltage ratings way higher than what is running through your pedal. The exception to this rule is when sourcing your polarized electrolytic caps. They are the larger tubular ones. They...
