Anybody know where to find pin headers with 2.54mm spacing and .8mm circumference? Looking for something that fits sip sockets. Tired of soldering clipped off resistor legs. The 2.0mm Tayda pin header's pin will fit into the socket, but the spacing doesn't allow more than one socket. I really...

Have implemented the order switcher a few times, but after looking at the Wiki diagram, I'm trying to figure out the wiring for what I'm trying to to. Using PPCB breakout boards for all 3 effects, I want to be able to switch the 1st and 3rd effect, middle stays in the middle. Anyone have a...

So I have a Zendrive and have build the Scenario, which I absolutely adore. Also a bit confused as to the link for the Scenario circuit topology, is it Dumble or Timmy? I've built waaay too many OD pedals and have found that with my amp and guitars, Dumble style circuits seem to work the best...

Planning on building 2 Dual Loop Switchers using the boards from PPCB. I have the Octaswitch, which works great, it's just a big girl and I need something smaller. Are buffers needed for the PPCB loop Switcher? If so, do both foot switches need buffers, or only the input/output?

I want to use these 3pdt boards so I can have an LED for each foot switch. What goes where, I'm confused?

Just built the Collosalus and was stoked to fire it up since I've always loved the MXR 117.......and it literally "fired" on up. As soon as I engaged the pedal, I was only getting clean signal. Started to mess with the trim pots and smoke started coming up from the 22R resistor. Thought it was...

I out together the Persica tonight and I'm having some ultra bizarre issues. Plugged it in and the Volume/Fuzz pots both only controlled volume level, zero fuzz. The Tone pot worked as normal. I thought I might have an IC problem, so I removed the TL022 first and bam! Fuzz! But the Fuzz dial is...

Hoping someone out there can lead me in the right direction, or any direction but the one I'm stuck with for that matter. Problem amp is a 1st Gen. Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. A few months back I replace the about to explode 450/500v big boy capacitors. They were already erupting with gunk coming...

So I built the Aion DZ4 preamp (love it) a while back, and have been having a ton of LED issues. The LED is insanely dim, I can barely tell when the pedal is engaged or not. I've changed the CLR all over the board, removed the connection from the LED pads on the PCB to all over the board...

I have a PRS Custom 24 08 that I absolutely adore. I'm able to play it better than any of the other guitars I own. Problem is, it is the most insanely honkiest guitar I've ever played, when played using overdrive. Tried EQ pedal, changing pickup height, changing action, settings on amp. After...

Does it matter/make a difference if a schematic calls for R14,017 to be 10k, and I use 9.91? Or as long as it's in the scope of the +/- tolerance and doesn't make a difference?

Looking to do project this weekend and want to use an empty wah shell to make a passive volume pedal. I use mostly humbucker guitars with 500k pots. What would be a proper value pot to use in a passive volume pedal? Also considering throwing a GPCB Afterburner in there and using that as the...

Can someone help me understand Potentiometers better? I see people doing mods, which I have also done myself, by replacing existing pots with those of different values to achieve different effects. What does that actually mean? For example, what does replacing a 100k pot with a 500k/25k...

Anyone know where to get one of these? eBay is the only place popping up and my trust meter is lagging.

Any PCB suggestions welcomed. Was just checking out the Aion Tesseract, which is a boost that goes to 32v. What are some of the highest OD circuits I can build to get a ton of headroom?

I'm still learning to read but more so understand schematics. Would there be a change I could make to this circuit, like lowering a resistor value to reduce gain? Would putting a resistor across lugs 1 & 3 of the Drive pot reduce gain or reduce the Drive pot's gain control level? Any and all...

Does anyone know where to get one of these Flat Blade Soldering Iron tips from? I think that's what they're called. I also think my soldering iron uses tips that are 900M-T, so the tip itself needs the inside to be open so I can slide it onto my soldering iron.

Anyone built one of these yet? If so, what are you using it for or plan on using it for? Is it similar to the EHX Parallel Mixer or is it something entirely different?

I'm building the Equilux Mini and it calls for a component that is next to impossible to find, unless you sub in a LND250K1. Robert says that the SOT23 adapter boards here don't work with the LND250K1. Can I use a SOT23-3 board, or is that the same issue? Can I also solder the SMD to an adapter...

Placing an order for some funky stuff over at Mad Bean and noticed the docs call for 9mm and 16mm pots. For those of you that have built out these boards, can I use 16mm for everything? If it's because they don't fit on the board, I'm assuming I can just wire them to the board?
