    Can I use a 3PDT Breakoutboard on this PCB?

    A friend of mine bought this at a bands merch table the other day. I've got all the components soldered up at this point, but this is the first PCB im attempting that isn't made by PedalPCB. Ive been using the 3PDT breakout boards for all my builds, so this is new to me. And....i'm a bit lost...

    Is the build doc for the Kliche the same as the Kliche Special edition?

    Basically as the title asks. I'd like to build the Kliche Mini special edition but the build doc shows as "coming soon" and it'd been like that for months. So does it use the same parts as the standard Kliche? Am I a-ok to just use that parts list to source everything?

    Chop Shop. 1 works, other is a noise making robot

    Just got finished building 2 Chop Shops. The first one I made appears to works just fine, however the second one has far more gain and starts to squeal and oscillate if the gain or sag knobs go to high. These are my first jfet builds, but I'm almost certain I understand the biasing. I am using...

    Adding 3 way clipping to these pedals? Is this how?

    Essentially I want to put a Muff, RAT and Tentacle in this one enclosure and then wire in 3 way clipping sections to the diodes in each board. I've got everything on the PCB soldered in other than the diodes. Am I correct in thinking I can simply run a wire from. either end of D1 on the muff to...

    3 in 1 wiring possible?

    I might be getting a bit ambitious here, and I'm not even sure if it's possible or not. But is there a way to wire up 3 different effects into 1 enclosure? I want to put a Rat, Big Muff and Tentacle into one pedal. Could somebody please point me towards a diagram of this using the PedalPCB...

    Clipping LED in parentheses not light up

    Should the clipping LED inside the parentheses light up when signal passes through it in at least one of its clipping modes? Mine doesn't appear to. Also, sounds to me that position 1 & 2 are identical in sound. Is it safe to assume my LED is dead and this is essentially giving me 2 germanium...

    Will this rotary switch work on the Parentheses?

    Bought myself some rotary switches from Tayda for the Parentheses. They appear to don't into the PCB just fine, but I see that PedalPCB sells their own on here for the Parentheses. Just wanted to know if anybody knows if these will in fact work okay. And does it matter which direction I install...

    Can somebody please explain to me how to measure a diode and know if "this will be more compressed"

    Hello! Could somebody simply answer this question for me? When using a multimeter setting it to simply the "diode" symbol / continuity setting. Will a higher number reading on there indicate more or less compression in a circuit (Rat in this instance), or does the higher number mean less...

    Are these LM308's legit?

    Been going down the Proco RAT mod journey and would like to try out the LM308 op amp in mine. So I am in the market for some. I have heard before that buying some certain parts online can be a crapshoot because of counterfeit parts floating around. So I was wondering if anybody knowledgeable...

    How would I add 5mm red LED to a Rat 2 to make it "Turbo RAT" spec?

    I have a proco RAT 2, I have 5mm red LED's and a believe a DPDT on/on switch. Is that all I need to insert some red LED clipping to the pedal? If so, could somebody either show me a diagram to add the switch & LED's into the pedal, or point me to a link / video covering this. Or am I missing...

    Can you use J211's in place of PF5102 transistors?

    I am building the Parentheses and while shopping for parts I could not find any PF5102 in stock. I did a Google search for some alternatives and I believe I found J201's as a possible substitute. However.... Looking at my most recent order history from Tayda I believe I accidentally ordered...

    SOLVED Hyped Fuzz 3 way toggle only working in 2 positions.

    Just finished building the Hyped Fuzz circuit. Plug it in and it works great for fuzz mode 1 & 2 l. But the gain boost that should be the third option on the toggle switch simply isn't there. My toggle goes like this. Switch Down: Fuzz 1 Switch Middle: Fuzz 1 still Switch Up: Fuzz 2 Boost...

    Can I use 2N5458 jfets instead of the J201 for a Chop Shop?

    Just bought the Chop Shop PCB and on the build doc it calls for J201 jfets. I couldn't find any on Tayda in stock, same with on this site. So I did a brief Google search and was told the equivalent through hole part is a 2N5458 which PedalPCB did have in stock. So that's what I ordered...

    Attempting to breadboard. What is VCC in a schematic?

    I would like to try and breadboard the El-Sol (Acapulco Gold) circuit here at home as my first ever breadboard project. I've already made the PCB and it works fine, I figure it's a simple enough pedal so it might be easiest to breadboard since I already own duplicates of each component. I'm...
