    The 2026 revised film free decal tutorial

    Is it doable to put a decal on an enclosure that was already drilled? I have a bunch of them for projects in my backlog (I box all of them) and they would be perfect to try this with.

    The 2026 revised film free decal tutorial

    I bought a sheet of sunnyscopa a few years ago and never used it because honestly I was intimidated. But this tutorial makes it sound not too hard. I already have an old toaster oven in the basement…

    Anyone got a starter kit they have used and liked, not music related per se

    The adafruit stuff is really good. I built one of their kits and it was very fun and easy to program. Their stuff can use the Arduino IDE but they also have a Python version which is even easier to use (but performance is not as good of course).

    Enclosure grounding

    I would sand around jacks, pots and switches. Power plugs are usually isolated. If the noise issue doesn’t improve I would consider starting a troubleshooting thread.

    Tone Generator

    I haven’t seen a lot of build reports for this little guy, which is a shame! Such a fun and useful little tool to build. Highly recommended! This was my first (mostly) SMD build and the smallest enclosure I have worked with. Also the first time I used a custom drill template with Tayda (the...

    Tayda UV Print Tool Final Update Gloss Testing

    I can’t wait to try this out. I use Inkscape and was never able to make it work for Tayda UV and I never bought AD to use it instead, mostly because I could never find the time to do it. Thank you for sharing!

    Thanks! I’ll probe around those. I hope I don’t have to desolder the SMD…

    Low Tide high noise floor

    Alright, I did not have time to open the pedal up for more beauty shots, but I did record a short demo to exemplify the problem. You can hopefully hear the pedal clicking and the increased noise floor. Then I noodled with the pedal on, then turned the mix all the way down towards the end to show...

    Low Tide high noise floor

    I forgot to mention that the noise is there even when the mix is at 0 and doesn’t change at all with mix. So I suspect there is something producing it in the clean path. I don’t think I get any BBD or oscillator noise at all.

    Scratching My Head! Aion Fx Aurum

    I couldn’t verify whether it is actually symmetrical so if you have it oriented backwards it may be good to try flipping it. But it may not solve your issue.

    Scratching My Head! Aion Fx Aurum

    The pinout for the 2SK117 looks the same in those two sources to me. Drain is leftmost looking at it from the flat side. Besides, FET’s drain and source are usually interchangeable.

    That’s the only picture I have. I can take more tomorrow.

    Low Tide high noise floor

    Hey guys, I recently finished this build and I really like the pedal, but the noise floor seems unusually high. As soon as I turn the pedal on, white noise is very audible. I’m using a CS7 which has been working fine for years. I’m wondering if I might have a bad cap or if I didn’t adjust the...

    Tube Screamer Schematic Question

    From the perspective of the signal (not DC), ground, Vref, Vcc and -Vcc are all equivalent because they are all ground for AC.

    King Tone Guitar Switch

    From the Kingtone picture I don’t see where the inductor would be, assuming it’s a 1.5H inductor: it would be pretty bulky. So maybe it’s even simpler than the varitone?

    King Tone Guitar Switch

    According to Reddit it's basically a varitone. The picture seems to confirm that. Unverified though! $99 seems pretty high for what this is.

    Should I expect to pay Tariffs on Tayda Orders?

    I mean besides a much bigger shipping cost no issue. But that’s a big issue to me :)

    SOLVED Low Tide (Full Size) Oscillator problem

    I just used this procedure on my brand new build and it worked flawlessly! Much better than setting it by ear.

    There are multiple types of trim pots and some may fit better in the lower holes.
