    Fulfilling a project BOM

    I also shop mostly Mouser. And I also generally buy stuff at the quantity of the first price break. Usually 25 for resistors, 10 for capacitors. It’s a good way to build up stocks.

    Deluxe MM board?

    Somebody should make a delay with a modulation input, that could be used with the Madbean Wavelord…🤔

    King Tone Guitar Switch

    With a rotary you could have a mix of low-pass and high-pass filters. Might sound cool 🤷‍♀️

    King Tone Guitar Switch

    What does “vibrato tracking” even mean? I’ve only ever heard “tracking” in reference to pitch-shifter/harmonizer/octave type stuff. What could you possibly be tracking when you’re physically wiggling a string around…? Is it just five fixed RC filters on a rotary?

    How to use a switch to select different resistors

    And herein lies the beauty of amateur electron wranglin’! ;)

    How to use a switch to select different resistors

    Fair point. Though my argument for the one I drew would be that it’s a little easier for a beginner to follow, visually and conceptually. And you can certainly make it plenty sturdy with proper lead trimming/twisting and some strategic heat shrink. I’ve never made one that flapped;) Re: switch...

    How to use a switch to select different resistors

    Or skip the paralleling and use a DPDT On-On-On toggle:)

    How to use a switch to select different resistors

    Or, if you want to get fancy, use an On/Off/On, do a little bit of parallel resistance math (it builds character!), and have three values on tap.

    How to use a switch to select different resistors

    This is another way to do it.

    Propolis (Jack White Bumble Buzz)

    Or the even more foolproof way: bust out the meter and check for continuity between each LED pad, +9V, and Gnd/Sw I like the bees! 🐝 🐝 🐝

    Delay with RNG Modulation?

    I know there are delays with a separate Wet out, but is there one with an fx loop for the wet? Like Delay Send > Ring Mod (or whatever) > Delay Return and RM’d repeats get mixed back to the regular Out. I know you could cook this up yourself, just curious if any PPCB (or other DIY) designs have...

    Pedal builders REACT to this guy finally cracking the Spirit In The Sky fuzz

    A thread on fuzzboxes, and the ‘80s, and no-one’s posted this one yet?!?

    Anybody Use A Small T-Square?

    Regular pencil can be hard to see on an enclosure. Stabilo pencils are really nice for marking on aluminum, and other stuff: https://www.stabilo.com/us/products/coloring-drawing/colored-pencil-for-many-surfaces-stabilo-all/ I usually use a blue one, but any of the bright contrasting colors...

    Fuzzy Fox Loud static when engaged [Moved to Troubleshooting]

    That’s what I was thinking at first. My Foxx Tone Machine (built from the old GGG board) will play one of the local Tejano stations pretty loud and clear if you plug it in on the wrong side of the house. But, re-reading the OP, it sounds like they’re getting just static, rather than signal...

    Pedal builders REACT to this guy finally cracking the Spirit In The Sky fuzz

    The clone of Norman Greenbaum in the video is pretty impressive. Does this guy walk around like that all the time? Just hope he doesn’t pull an Al Jolson on a Hendrix-themed pedal…😬 ;) Pedal sounds decent.

    Vibrato on delay signal

    Doesn’t the Memory Man have a Level pot to set the input gain?…🤔 Madbean has a few different DMM PCBs with vibrato already included.

    Steiner Parker VCF - can it work?

    I don’t have the technical chops to help you troubleshoot this. But do post back here if you make any progress. I’ve got two Steiner filters (in the form of a Matrixbrute and a Blue Lantern Steiner VCF module), and it would definitely be cool to have a (functional) pedal-ized version out there...

    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    The first term was, essentially, a (not terribly clever) petty mob boss trying to run—and being somewhat constrained by—the existing US government. Turned out not to be super successful at achieving good governance, or at doing mob stuff (grifting, self-dealing, random acts of vindictiveness...

    Steiner Parker VCF - can it work?

    You might try also posting on a synth DIY forum like https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=17 Probably more people who have built a version of this circuit (albeit without the guitar-specific mods) over there.

    Holy Island's "HOW TO BUILD A SPEED MODDED TAPE PLAYER" help?

    LM117 and LM317 are the same, 117 just has a wider temperature range (and thus will probably be more expensive if you find one). 317 is fine here, and you only need one regulator. If you look at the datasheet for any voltage regulator, they always show caps in those spots. I assume they’re for...
