it's what got me into building. I was ready to shell out 279 for a Skreddy lunar module and then came across that series where he builds a fuzz face really simply and for like a dollar and I was like :unsure:

The JHS youtube channel has a series called Short Circuit where they explain and breadboard a few of the classic basic circuits. He goes thru it slowly and in detail and it's easy to follow. He explains what different parts do and how they change the signal. I'd watch a few of those and get a...

You might try removing the top board from the bottom one and see if there is a change in sound. Leave them both wired to the footswitch, audio in/out, and power/ground, but separate them from each other (but add a ground wire to the solder pad next to the IN pad and run it to the other board)

Woof. This one can be an intimidating trouble shoot, but I would start by using the continuity function on your meter to verify that the board connections have continuity from one side to the other. Put one probe of the meter to the solder pad of one of the connectors and the other probe to the...

Thanks! I like how your pedals look. @Erik S has a cool lettering workflow where he engineered the uncertainties out of the process. If you use open switch craft or lumburg jacks it should turn out ok without (any?) modification, but I don't normally have Lumburgs and I'd already drilled for...

Yup, you want all the color to be wet at the same time. But let the primer dry and cure for 4 days to a week. Some people (real painters) do multiple layers where they will let the layers underneath dry before going on top, and this is valid too, but the result is different and to get this...

If you type the @ sign before the person's name it will send them a notification, like this: @Robert

The lettering is so hard to do consistently. The pen moves over the surface differently and more quickly than writing on paper so it can move too fast and then the letters look like a 3rd grader drew them and I have to quickly wipe it off before it dries and try again. I'd just like them all to...

You definitely don't want to check out the 59 sound, dielectric boost, twill deluxe, or amber overdrive. They're definitely not worth adding to your list, if you were thinking about it ~

the kliche isa buffered bypass so it means your "bypass" signal is on the board too and based on your symptoms seems like its bleeding into the rest of the circuit. You're going to want to take it out of the enclosure and look closely at your soldering and the ICs and see if anything is...

All grounds are the same, so you can put clip the ground side of the audio probe to any ground. But, verify your selected ground is connected to the other grounds

You can see the resistor values on the PPCB page for the rain coat. To figure out which one is R1 R2 etc as you follow along with the schematic, just look closely at the board so you can see the traces in the pcb and follow them from component to component. Then, use your meter on continuity...

Yes it's fine using it without the plastic. It's cleaner and looks nicer too :)

Gotcha, it was included in the design to account for builds which may not run at 9v?

I'm checking out the design for one of the relay bypasses available on the site, and IC2 on this one is a 9v power regulator used to establish VCC for the circuit. My question is what is the point of having the regulator if the voltage coming in from the power supply is also 9v?

This is one of my favorite pedals. I use it for a "just before breakup" sound where there's a vol boost, some EQ, and some light distortion. This pedal really shines when you use it along with another light overdrive pedal, either before or after. I like to use it going into my Deluxe Reverb as...

Yup, you could think of this as feedback to help you with your designs in the future!

Yup, that's why I'm helping your future diagnoses by suggesting you don't use sockets for transistors :)

The only thing that stands out in your build are the sockets for the transistors. You don't really want to use sockets for these as they can cause a poor connection. Sockets are great for IC's which have many leads, but a transistor only has 3 and none of them are able to impart mechanical...
