Yea I can only imagine it's got all kinds of stuff in there and is probably way above my paygrade. I've been getting a little more confident in my surface mount soldering and FV-1 type stuff, so I was thinking that maaaaybe there's a chance haha.

I could see this being an example of a pedal that I might as well shell out the $350 for, since it looks like there's a lot going on inside it and it covers a ton of ground. Just thought I'd put feelers out there to see if there's a possibility of getting a PCB for it, since I've seen a lot of...

This is Sometimes Meeting Strangers on the Internet is Good. I did this build in a trade with someone on Reddit for a Tape Delay and a Fuzz. On one side is a Benson Preamp clone, and then on the other side is a SmallSound/BigSound Mini clone, with a switch to choose which order the two effects...

Hey all, I'm currently working on a 2 in 1 build for a friend and am having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around the wiring/translating where the vero connections would go.The build is a Benson Preamp on one side (PCB) with a SS/BS mini on the other (vero), with an order switcher connecting...

Awesome give away, I’ll keep my fingers crossed!!

Oh yea they’re so good! I saw them a few days ago and they were freakin incredible

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I've posted a pedal or two from this board before, but I finally got around to putting together a mini-board that's all homemade (including the board itself). From right to left I've got the General Tso Compressor, Special K Distortion, Circulator Phaser (with a few of Chuck's...

Looks great! Isn't it such a lovely pedal? That was the first build that I did that made me go "holy shit, I can't believe I actually put this thing together by hand", it sounds so good. Bummer to hear about the Guitar PCB j201s not working out, they've always been pretty solid in my...

That fixed it! And the box cap made itself right at home with all those other Tants. Thanks again!!

I’ll give it a shot! That particular spot on the board looks like it’s got enough room for a box cap (although it’s a bit of a squeeze). Would it be better to put one of those in there if I can manage it? Or should I stick with tantalum for uniformity’s sake? That makes sense. I’m sure that’s...

Ok so if I'm understanding your first question correctly, I've got just my guitar plugged into input and my amp into output. I checked continuity for C9 and I got the beep only when I was touching the positive end (the side with the little dimple at he top of the cap) to output. I'm assuming...

Yea this was a good lesson in making sure I understand a component before just throwing it in there. I’ve never used tants before and figured a value is a value, lesson learned! For checking positive voltage I’m assuming I set the DMM to the DC volts range and measure both leads with that...

Woke up this morning and realized that Tantalum caps are polarized, so I would imagine that that could probably be the culprit? So I guess my question is are these caps ok to use? And if they’re polarized, do they need to all be in the same orientation since there’s no polarization marker on the...

Hey all! I just finished putting together the Circulator build (using a few of Chuck’s mods), and it’s making a pretty substantial pop every time I engage or disengage the pedal. Outside of that everything works as advertised and it sounds great, but the pop is a pretty big bummer. I used some...

Haha dammit, I probably should have thought about my phrasing before I posted that. They’re stepped (although I had to google graduated smooth just to be sure). Dropping the bit is probably what’s doing it though, I’ll try to keep it from doing that the next time I’m drilling some enclosures...

You and me both!

Hey y’all! So I’ve been drilling my own enclosures for a while now and was curious about other people’s experiences with how clean they get their drillings. I’ve been using a hand drill with a stepped bit, drilling a pilot hole first after center punching, all that jazz. Overall they turn out...

This is my Low Tide build that I finished up recently. I bought this PCB pretty soon after I started building, and I joked with my girlfriend about this being my "white whale build" because it was always there waiting for me in my drawer, but it scared the hell out of me. It was only recently...

Thanks for the info! Yea I’d use the solder lug ones to wire them up a little differently if I were to go that route. I generally prefer PCB mount pots but having that extra flexibility is nice
