    Does the silkscreen pattern under the 1PDT have any mechanical meaning (traces etc below it)?

    I get that your intention was humor, but I still don't see where the humor or joking manner is in this post. Looks like a legitimate question to me. The fact that you must explain that it is humor and what the humor is kinda makes my point. BTW other than being somewhat round those things you...

    Low-Draw Devi Fuzz Needs More Than 9v... Why?

    I was actually at a frequency too high to hear, that's why I was asking about an o'scope.

    Pedal to 'Blackface' a Tweed Deluxe

    What about the 6 band equalizer? I built a slider version and it works great! With all sliders at 50% it has Unity, moving sliders up gives Gain/boost or down cuts just as one should expect with an active EQ. Clean build, nice looking amp!! Mojotone makes good kits but just like pedals the...

    Low-Draw Devi Fuzz Needs More Than 9v... Why?

    Is Q1 base biased  too high? It looks like Q1 is fully conducting (on). This would indicate too high of voltage on the base. this will give very asymmetrical clipping. What kind of clipping is desired? For symmetrical shouldn't the collector be at ~4.5 - 5 volts? But the pedal sounds good...

    Low-Draw Devi Fuzz Needs More Than 9v... Why?

    I wonder if you aren't getting some sort of high frequency oscillation. By any chance do you or anyone close to you have an o'scope?

    Rosamp SLO 30 and Troubles

    Correct. A shielded cable  inside a piece of gear only needs the shield connected at one end. Connecting both ends can create a ground loop which is a source of noise. Do not confuse this with external guitar/instrument cables which do need the shield connected at both ends.

    Low-Draw Devi Fuzz Needs More Than 9v... Why?

    Are you  sure the base of 2N2222A #2 is a negative voltage? This seriously has me puzzled. :unsure:

    Dumb this down for me (Audio Probe) I'm confused

    If you think this probe might ever be used in a tube amp I'd recommend using a 1kv (or higher) rated cap.

    Low-Draw Devi Fuzz Needs More Than 9v... Why?

    That wouldda been too easy but was worth a shot.

    Low-Draw Devi Fuzz Needs More Than 9v... Why?

    Verify what kind of diode is D1? Check voltage drop on it. Verify the type of diode installed at D1. Check the voltage across it.

    Tayda Predrilled Enclosures?

    Several of the product pages have links to templates by the manual downloads. There are also some on the forum if you search the particular pedal you are building.

    SPDT Switches - Do you keep the washers? What is the correct way to install them?

    What @Nostradoomus said but I break the bent tab off and use the notched washer under the outside nut.

    Does the silkscreen pattern under the 1PDT have any mechanical meaning (traces etc below it)?

    Honestly, no I did not realize you were joking. I took the post at face value and answered accordingly. After reading and re-reading your post I see nothing that indicates humor, satire nor sarcasm. Please be so kind as to point out what I'm missing so I don't repeat this horrendous mistake.

    Separating Audio & Power Path

    Absolutely correct, but they interact with each other  internal to the pedal, amp etc... externally they should be kept seperated. This is an important point I did not think to include before, I am glad it has been brought up. To clarify I am only talking about simple guitar-pedal-amp signal...

    6 Band Slider Equilizer

    There is a drawing on StompBoxParts for their sliders; 2mm x 5mm. 😂🤣😂

    6 Band Slider Equilizer

    Thanks!!! Tayda has the correct ones in stock? I gave up on them. These do look good without any knobs which is a good thing because I could not find knobs ANYWHERE to fit. These slider handles are thicker than Tayda's so slots need to be a bit wider. The template I linked to worked great...

    It's a maze/puzzle. Object is to draw a line from the outside to the middle without going over a line. Nothing religious nor anti-religious about it. Edit: Grammer
