Morley wah pedals have a ton of room on the inside. Maybe you could pick up a non working one for cheap

I built this board almost a year ago but it kept getting pushed to the back burner in favor of more exciting (drive) pedals. I'm making a big push to complete my backlog and this is part of that. I wasn't sure what to expect from this pedal as all the demos online are kinda funky and weird, but...

I like the elongated hole but I can't reliably drill them. I'll look around for a long leg switch. I know the solder type switches pins are longer, and I wonder if they may work with pin headers.

Here's my second time building one of these. Univibe is my favorite effect but my Photon Vibe is down at the moment (when will they be in stock so I can redo it? I have an enclosure painted and drilled waiting for it but something is wrong with my board and the LFO doesn't work) so this will...

Here's a quick follow up My board showed up today and I put it together, and learned a few things. 1- the patterns and measurements aren't exactly correct, despite my best efforts. My tone knob ended up a bit further down than I planned on and it interfered with the audio jacks. I got it to...

This is my inspo They used a daughterboard for the pots whereas I used long leg pots. In the MXR pedals I've taken apart, the side jacks' holes have been extended down to the base of the enclosure, making the hole into a tombstone shape so the pedal can be assembled with the nuts attached to...

The amber od is one of my favorites. With the gain at 9 o'clock its a super nice fuzzy overdriving Marshall amp kinda sound. The tone gets less distinct as you turn up the gain. It's a big muff with lower value emitter resistors so the signal is much less saturated thru each transistor stage. My...

I like the 763 but it's not super clean. Maybe a Dumble style pedal would work better, like the Scenario Preamp

stompboxparts for pots and mouser for resistors and caps. On mouser, make sure you sort thru them and pick ones that either don't have tariffs or have low tariffs. The tayda shipping isn't that bad as long as you're not getting powdercoated enclosures from them. I usually make carts in two...

The one concession I'm making in terms of reliability is the 3pdt switch. I sourced good quality switches for this, but in the future I'd like to forego it and work in a relay bypass. With the 3pdt a bad switch could nerf the whole board, but this is a prototype so I'm ok using it. I've used...

Power is all on the bottom plane except for one trace, and audio is all on the top plane except for five

I double checked some measurements and made some revisions. Namely the neutrik jack patterns, which were drawn backwards and I needed to correct. I used the data sheet to verify the jacks dimensions and they were just drawn in the rullywow library with the wider box that is meant to represent...

I put together this prototype board mounting everything except the power jack. I'm worried about the durability of a board mounted jack so I'm using a regular big type with a plastic retaining nut. The view is top down with all components facing the top of the enclosure. I spec'd long leg pots...

I'm with you on the Klon. I've built two and was unimpressed both times. It's too shrill and the texture of the saturation isn't satisfying. My TS808 with LED clipping is much better at pushing other pedals or on its own when I'm playing a strat and want the mid boost. Maybe try a...

My other faves are the Zvex 59 sound and Lovepedal Blackface Deluxe

I just installed what I had This is easily one of my top 3 favorite pedals. Just playing open chords is so satisfying with the Pentodes knob cranked and the preamp knob at about 10 o'clock. It is absolutely the sound of AC/DC. I wish the Pentodes control had more to give. I might make a second...

Thanks for the long and girthy explanation! I'm contemplating implementing the option for the pedal to run on a battery - at least until the player can go out and pick up a power supply. I don't want to rely on expecting every buyer to be as electronic or gear savvy as us and I want to explore...
