    Caesar Caesar

    Thanks. The green one is for me, and the blue one is for my dad as per my daughter's decision.

    Caesar Caesar

    My father is a terrific guitar player but rarely uses pedals. For his birthday last May, I built him a small board with a Keeley Caverns and a Tube Screamer. For Chanukah I thought I would build him a modulation pedal, so I decided on the Caesar chorus. Of course why build one pedal when I can...

    Buffer with the Octarock Octave

    Awesome thanks. So would a buffer do anything, or will the included one act similar to a C-buffer or Kliche buffer? Really look forward to this build! You've really been knocking out new pedals at quite the pace. Lots to look forward to.

    Buffer with the Octarock Octave

    I'm really excited to build the Octarock, and am going to start planning a big parts order for my next few projects. I'd like to put a buffer where I'm planning the Octarock in my signal chain, and want to know, if I build the Kliche buffer or C-Buffer into the Octarock will it negatively impact...

    Deflector no sound, LED does not light up

    I flipped c9 but didn't hear any difference. The pedal sounds good but the volume drop bugs me.

    Deflector no sound, LED does not light up

    Okay that would make sense because those caps didn't have a polarity marking on them, I assumed the long lead was the cathode like on LEDs. I'll have to inbox it and test it with the DMM. Thank you @aefpv, you have been very helpful.

    Deflector no sound, LED does not light up

    I reflowed the Density pot and that fixed the hum. @Robert is there a component I can change to get the volume closer to parity?

    Deflector no sound, LED does not light up

    I soldered the wires to the pads and it worked fine, thanks! Now the pedal is mostly working, but two problems remain. 1) There is a hum whenever the pedal is engaged and frequency of the hum changes with the Density knob. 2) There is a noticeable volume drop when I engage the pedal. As always...

    Deflector no sound, LED does not light up

    Update: I fixed the wiring to the input/output jacks, and then the pedal worked with a slight hiss, which I chalked up to it not be housed. I then changed the polarity on the LED and then everything was working (still with the hiss). I then started rehousing the unit, and the power supply and...

    Deflector no sound, LED does not light up

    If the LED is backwards should I expect sound in bypass, but not when the pedal is engaged? Does not appear to be any solder bridges. Is there a way to know if the switch is bad other than replacing it? I will print out the circuit diagram and work through it, step by step. Thanks, I...

    Deflector no sound, LED does not light up

    Okay, I changed it as you suggested but still no sound. Also when I put a patch cable in and do an audio probe I get no signal to this side, but I get a signal on the other side of the jack. Is it worth bridging the two sides with a jumper cable?

    Deflector no sound, LED does not light up

    One day I will build a pedal and it will work on the first go, or at least I will be able to troubleshoot it on my own, but for now I must lean on the awesome PedalPCB community one more time. When I plug it in a get a very faint hum, but the LED does not light up, and nothing happens when I...

    Want to add a treble bleed to an SE Hollowbody II guitar

    I too love the SE Hollowbody II and think it sounds great (at full volume) but when I dial back to 5 there is a distinct drop in treble. From what I saw on the PRS forums, a bunch of people have complained on the drop in treble when the volume is rolled back. I ordered a 220 pF so it should be...

    Want to add a treble bleed to an SE Hollowbody II guitar

    Okay after much research I ordered a 220pF orange drop cap (slightly higher than the 180pF PRS standard). I will report back with how the installation goes.

    Want to add a treble bleed to an SE Hollowbody II guitar

    So a 180pF with no resistor? I've seen some videos, the best method is to put surgical tubing on the pot, to guide it back after.

    Want to add a treble bleed to an SE Hollowbody II guitar

    I've been trying to use my Derailer Overdrive as an always on pedal, and rolling the guitar volume back to clean it up, but I find I lose to my treble. After some quick research, I found my main guitar (SE Hollowbody II) does not have a treble bleed circuit. I know I need a resistor and...

    Caesar Shape Switch

    This is for D1 an D2, right? Would a set of 2.2 uF electrolytic a work too? I happen to be working on a pair of these right now, and realized I didn't order enough LEDs but it do have spare 2.2 uF electrolytic caps handy.
