    El Sol Distortion in a 1590A Enclosure

    Nice build! If you're worried about the jacks rotating and touching... lock washers and electrical tape?

    (Not Another) Tayda Shipping Thread

    I think Tayda has some formula that combines order price and then weight against some thresholds. I've seen shipping drop quite low even for enclosures if they're combined with lightweight expensive items. I've also seen the shipping estimate be low, another item get added, and then have it...

    Dyl-Ei Fuzz Apprentice: "Shiny Cowbird Fuzz" (w/Gerber)

    This is a report for the Dyl-Ei Fuzz Apprentice, a variation of the Shin-ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz. I was looking for a simple circuit to try laying out a PCB, which hadn't previously been laid out, and this seemed to fit the bill. I found Dylan159's page via the @szukalski pedals. It's an easy...

    All this flanger talk (AionFx Xenotron)

    Ordered one of these during the Black Friday sale at Aion. Now I'm getting nervous...

    It's done - just sent this for fabrication :). Thanks to both of you for taking a look!

    All Time Most Bestest Favoritest Flanger?

    I thought the other similar thread was great for learning about chorus options. Now I'm wondering what kinds of flangers people like. Perhaps I will ask for two categories: 1. Best-sounding overall 2. Best "bang for your buck" The second being the DIY pedal that gives you the most flange...

    Bring out yer Diptrace

    I think I need to create one of the hybrid SMD/through hole footprints... I'll give that a shot before getting this fabricated. @finebyfine thanks for taking a look as well. I did look at the Moonn schematic but also found parts of that to be confusing!

    Bring out yer Diptrace

    Wondering if I can get a sanity check on my Jawari layout. The Jawari is a sitar-like Escobedo circuit fragment (towards bottom of the page here). He seems to use somewhat different conventions than I'm used to - perhaps these were more common in 2000 or so?! The in/out labels and footswitch are...

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    I recall hearing at some point that Spaceman Effects chooses resistor values based on part on the color scheme - they have some kind of aesthetic in mind for the inside of the pedals.

    First Time PCB Design - Help Request

    Yeah, that's what I meant :).

    First Time PCB Design - Help Request

    At a glance it looks good though I'm just a beginner too. I'd suggest lining up the components below R102 and D3, since you're so close to symmetry, those stand out. Also add a text label with your name for the PCB - will make it easier to remember. You might want to nudge D100 slightly up and...

    Points/Rewards System

    But I have 20 boards I wanna order now.

    Points/Rewards System

    Hopefully the plugin is in place before any kind of Black Friday sale... :D

    Destiny Behemoth with Mods!

    Birding (if you get a decent camera) is a lot like a combination of Pokemon Go and hunting, but also with an artistic angle.

    Destiny Behemoth with Mods!

    It goes without saying that I love the cardinal, even if it's a baseball thing. It was only after making about 10 bird pedals that I thought back to this sketch and was like "oh yeah, I guess this is me now."

    Circulator: "Albatross Phaser"

    My process is to draw the images in Photoshop. That usually takes a few hours - it's a combination of tracing, hand-drawing with a Wacom tablet, adding gradients, positioning, getting text colors right, etc. My goal is to have smooth or straight lines that are easy to vectorize. I flatten that...

    Circulator: "Albatross Phaser"

    This is a report for the Circulator, based on the EQD Grand Orbiter. I saw this recommended on a few "favorites" lists here on the forum, and I wanted to build a phaser so it was an easy selection. This is one of my favorite pedals and I'd recommend the build to anyone. Inspiration I settled...

    Paragon / KOT bucket list...

    Paragon Mini into Chop Shop is my go-to overdrive tone right now. Sounds amazing; the only problem is that the Paragon alone suddenly sounds meh when you turn off the Chop Shop!

    Bring out yer Diptrace

    @Brett - here's what it looks like close up - it seems to meet the exclusion requirements, it's just hard to see in the zoomed out screenshot. Your broader point is correct, I could make better use of the space... I got tired of moving the larger blocks of components around every time I...
