Yeah, I was thinking of something like that, but potentially with through-holes like some of the J201 adapters you see. But I see that as Robert said, the form factor may be different. While trying to find the cheapest J201s I started thinking it might make sense to print a bunch and get them...

Any recommendations for cheap SMD to DIP adapters that could be used for PT2399? I feel like there's probably something out there but the search term seems to be eluding me. Or perhaps it would be worth ordering a sheet of custom scored PCBs just for this kind of thing?

Wow, thanks so much for the thorough reply! The transistor sub cheat sheet is great - saving that for later. I ended up ordering a few different kinds of NPN germanium transistors on Ebay (MP11, MP37B, MP38, MP38A), I'll see how they work in a few weeks... There's something weird about the...

So I've had a War Scythe PCB sitting in my to-build pile for a while now, taunting me, as I bang my head against the wall figuring out the transistors. I have a few questions, details below: 1. Could I just swap the 2N1308 for MPSA13, but keep the rest of the build un-Clefted? Or does the...

My current go-to for a warm, full-sounding medium overdrive is the Sugarbag (Beet tonics Fat Bee).

Thanks, keyth. I have not noticed noise as a particular problem. I saw the update about the op-amp but since I'd already placed my more exotic orders and didn't feel it was a problem, I kept using the TL074. I'll include the new op-amp in my next digikey/mouser order, whenever that is - I get...

This is my build of the Funbox, a DSP pedal from @keyth72. This is an amazing pedal and I'd highly recommend building one, although it's moderately challenging. After doing a bunch of builds, including FV-1 builds, and reading about some of the more modern pedals (Chase Bliss/Strymon), I...

Yeah - it's surprising since I often see Aion highly recommended. The build docs and kit were great as a beginner, but now the boards are not my favorite. I do like that the pedals aren't straight clones and have some nice quality of life adjustments.

The scratches and marks fit with the 70s/80s feel, I think (at least in the photos). Reminds me of my old Atari 2600.

This is my build of the AionFX Lithium, which is based on the EHX Small Clone. It's a fairly complicated build for a no-nonsense pedal. I decided to build this pedal as gift - so I ended up making two. After all, if I'm ordering all the parts, designing the enclosure, and assembling, might as...

I like the prints! Clever that the Mini has the biggest text.

This is a build of the Gravitation Reverb, based on the Earthquaker Devices Levitation Reverb. It was a surprisingly easy build - my first reverb, and my first belton brick build. I chose to call this the Kestral Reverb due to the "Levitation" name of the original pedal. Kestrals have a...

This is a build of the Blue Shoe Gai Pan, based on the JHS PG-14. I chose this build because it seemed to be popular on the forum and I figured that was a good indicator of a fun experience and useful pedal. The original pedal has a blue shoe, this is the Blue Shoe Gai Pan - what bird could...

This is a build of the Mach 1 Overdrive, based on the Greer Lightspeed Overdrive. This is a pretty transparent overdrive and the board is simple. Since the theme of both pedals is speed, I decided that a good namesake bird would be the Swift (specifically a Common Swift), which is literally a...

I took a short trip to Venus this morning. Beautiful! I think it may be my favorite so far.

I've struggled a bit with finding the right knobs within budget (around $1/each). For most of my "final" builds I feel that aluminum is mostprofessional. And I prefer the smaller ones to leave more room for the print (so 12.5mm outside diameter) with a set screw so they can fit on any...

The Seabed Delay is a clone of the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay. This is a surprisingly simple pedal that sounds great. This pedal has a watery undersea sourt of sound, but I decided that was too on-the-nose for my theme (I could have done a seabird), so I went with one of the deepest-blue...

This is a version of the Shika Fuzz, based on the EQD Hizumitas. The Hizumitas (very popular on the guitar pedals subreddit) was one of the first pedals I tried playing in a store, and one of the first I was interested in making when I discovered PedalPCB. The traditional Hizumitas design has...

Not sure if this is it (Robert's guess seems more relevant), but many of the lugs on the footswitch barely look soldered to my eyes. I usually flood them with solder, similar to the one in the lower left corner.

This is a build of the Dung Beetle, based on the Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe. I chose to style and name this based on the Egyptian God Horus, whose head is that of a peregrine falcon, to fit with the Egyptian style of the Scarab and Dung Beetle. The enclosure is painted with Tayda's metallic light...
