I remember reading Tayda can drill irregular shaped holes, but I drill mine on my drill press at home after paint, as having the holes predrilled interferes with the way I paint them. I believe the larger Neutrik style jacks will work for 125b enclosures, and they are only 4mm closer together...

I finally had a chance to try out assembly, and it's a bust. I tried 3 different approaches - first was to pivot the board in, then I tried having the entire board slot into the top and then push forward so the audio jacks would seat, and lastly I tried opening up the audio jack holes into a...

How about an "ignore subforum" for that pesky Troubleshooting section??

Thank you. I'll sub them for films of the same value

I'm putting one of these together and came across C3, C4, and C100 & C101. C3 and 4 on the silkscreen are 220nF but have the footprint of small electrolytic caps. In the build doc they are listed as tantalum. I don't have 0.22uF tants but I do have 0.47uF. Can I use this instead? Are they just...

damn 3 week lead time for tayda enclosures gonna be up to 4 weeks smh

Hey nostradoomus, I hear you’ve been talking about AI and maybe wondering what it really means for you, so I wanted to take a moment to speak to you directly—clearly, honestly, and in as grounded a way as possible. AI isn’t here as something to fear or to replace the human experience that...

It's not that the high heat isn't necessary to melt solder - it isn't. But there is always going to be some heat energy lost in transmission when introducing the iron to the component/solder pad. Setting the iron to a high setting allows some of the heat to be lost while keeping the iron...

I put BAT41's in the last klon I built. As z2amiller mentioned, their curve is close to Ge and they're easier to buy and work with.

The signal path is the top part. The non-signal path is the bottom part, where the + and - interact. Carbon composite (not film) resistors are suppose to have a certain mellowness to the sound but only in old vintage tube amps where they have like 400 volts running thru them. They don't have...

Feral wasn't replying to you in particular, he was adding his opinion to the conversation. If you're not familiar with Feral, he can be a bit... catty

I just placed an order for a big ish restock. I wanted to compare the cost of shipping/tariffs with and without semiconductors. I went through and picked out about $20 of resistors and capacitors and my shipping came out to $21. I then added the op amps, transistors, and diodes I need and my...

Take your time, go slow. Make sure each component is exactly where you want it before soldering, when you do solder, do it one leg at a time, ie push the capacitor thru, solder one leg, look at the component and see if it needs to be straightened, and if so then hold the board in your hand while...

Love the font and that 3D effect on the lettering. I used Gibson SG witch hat style knobs over a plain black enclosure on my first build of one of these. I have another in the works that will look like the cover of their Bonfire disc set whenever the weather warms up enough to put the clear coat...

The LED switch could go in the middle, but check out the trace that grounds the input of the pedal when the circuit is bypassed.

The audio probe cap voltage value really doesn't matter. The main purpose is that it blocks DC and lets enough of the audio signal through. The capacitance rating should be lower though, maybe 10-100nf so it doesn't trim off too much of the signal These are my favorite jacks, but these and...

The way I view AI is that it's only helpful if you already have a background of experience in the subject matter you're asking of it. I use AI to help me write sentences with good words so I don't sound like a dumbass, but really only if there's one word I just can't think of and the thesaurus...

yeah it's hard bc I want the footswitch hanging off the end of the board because I like it as far down as possible, so space is limited. If i ran the in/out traces on either side, then the trace connecting the bottom left and bottom right lugs would interfere with the bottom center lug of the...

What exactly is the problem? Breadboards are pretty easy to set up..
