I like your thinking here! I've already got a Fumble, which I love, so it'd be kind of cool to see how they interact with it. Your smorgasbord of options, though, makes me remember a question that's been in the back of my head for a while. How exactly would two order switchers work between three...

So while I'm waiting on my latest Tayda order to arrive so I can start on my current set of builds, I've started pre-planning for the round of builds after this one. (Because, clearly, I have a problem.) :) Anyway, two of the PCBs in my next round of orders will be the Crystal Lettuce Black and...

Hi All, As you may have seen in this thread, I recently ordered some MP38A transistors off eBay to build a Muffin Factory. After testing them out, I found that two of them were ideal for the MF, but the other four tested pretty well, too, and I'm wondering about using a couple of them to do an...

Very cool! I don't know this pedal, but a little Google research has me thinking it looks pretty cool. So, if I'm seeing it right, you swap out the first BC338 and the SN5088 for the germaniums, switch the second BC338 to a BC517, and change the cap going into the BC517 from 470n to 68n? Am I...

So I finally had a chance to sit down and run RG Keen's test on the MP38A transistors. I tried to stay as close to the numbers as I could, though my 9v power was actually 9.19v and my smaller resistor was 2.499k. That seems close enough for government work to me, though. Anyway, here's how my...

Turns out you were exactly correct. I stopped and let the Post Office know their delivery notification was wrong, they said they'd look into it, and then it showed up today. All's well that ends well! :)

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. Here's what I'm seeing: The last three steps make it look like it arrived at my USPS office, they sent it out for delivery, and then it arrived at my house, but it's just vague enough that I can't know that for sure. The only thing I know for sure is I haven't...

The Ukrainian tracking website shows my address (or at least my city/state) when I enter the tracking. It shows that it was handed off to USPS on Thursday last week and then delivered on Friday. We'll see, I guess...

Update: the Ukrainian tracking says that my MP38A transistors were delivered on Friday by USPS. Just got home from a trip and the package is nowhere to be found. There was lots of mail in the mailbox, but no transistors. Kind of amazing that they could get all the way from Ukraine to my town in...

Like I said in the other post, I really hated how loud my BOSS GE-7 was, and this one turned out to be the whisper-quiet one I was looking for in the first place. A really fun build, too, and yeah, the premade faceplate makes it look almost like a real pedal! :ROFLMAO:

Cool, thanks for taking a look. As far as the drill holes for the jacks, I used the same measurements as the ones on the Parentheses Fuzz. That board doesn't take up as much space, so I adjusted the jack holes to match (I think) the distance from the bottom of the enclosure on the Notakliché...

Thanks for catching that--it should work now!

Hi All, So I'm in the planning stages for my first 2-in-1 pedal, which will combine a Notakliché with a Cobalt Drive. I'm currently working on the Tayda drill template for putting them in a 1590XX enclosure. I took the template for each pedal and then basically did the math regarding distance...

Dude, the whole gang of you that walked me through the Grunge troubleshooting are basically the reason I'm still making pedals. The first few passes I took at trying to fix that thing befor posting in the forum nearly convinced me to give up on the whole shebang. Glad I didn't!

I should probably post individual build reports as I go along, but when I'm neck-deep in a batch of builds, I tend to get tunnel vision, so here's a quick rundown of what I've been up to for the past couple of months. Full disclosure: I haven't done any artwork yet. I bought a set of acrylic...

So I'm not overly familiar with the statistical likelihood of finding good matches for a particular pedal by buying a random lot of transistors off of ebay, but based on some of the comments above, I'm wondering if this would lead to two usable transistors...

So as I was poking around online, I came across these at Small Bear: https://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/2n1302-germanium-transistor-npn-rca/ If I got one in the 51-60 Hfe range and another in the 61-70 range, would these be reasonable substitutes? The internet tells me their...

Hi All, I made the classic mistake of impulse buying a PCB a while back--in this case the Muffin Factory--and while I'm excited to take on such a complex build, I didn't check the components before pulling the trigger. Now I'm realizing that the 106NU70 germanium NPN transistors are pretty much...

This is the one I used: https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=aTVxa1BsNnMwZ2t5QklVc0tvcEtrdz09Cg==
