Here's my build in a Tayda Viva Magenta colored 125B w/ purple knobs and LED. I've switched to UV printed vinyl stickers for my enclosure art, followed by 2 layers of sprayed satin lacquer. Super easy to install, very crisp fine details (printed from SVGs), and wonderful colors. (Also quite...

I see @Robert is selling Russian 2D503B Si pulse diodes, but don't know anything about their characteristics and could not locate a datasheet for them. So does anyone have a datasheet? Can anyone tell me about their utility, and for what pedals and situations they are useful? Thanks in advance!

Here's my build. This one took a while, fitting it into the enclosure took a set of careful measurements so that everything would fit (e.g., so 1/4" jacks don't collide with the PCB, transistors or caps; etc.). Fortunately those who went before me had commented on the challenges, so I went in...

FYI - I ran across a silicon-germanium (SiGe) SMD diode from Nexperia, whose forward voltage is similar to a higher Vf germanium diode - which looks like what you'd want in a Cornish G-2, etc. And it's reverse characteristics are excellent, it only conducts ~50pA at 25V reverse bias (i.e...

Hey folks, if you've got more money than sense, check out these NOS diodes - lol 40 smackers each!! (that's US$). They must be extra f*cking magic. This has to set a new record for diode prices... They are old and unusual, that's for sure. But somehow I'm not feeling the urge to empty my...

Clearly, PedalPCB's C-Buffer (a.k.a., the Cornish buffer) is designed for being used together with an unbuffered effects PCB within the same enclosure, and for that use case the PCB & switch wiring instructions are straightforward and clear. But what if you want to use the C-Buffer PCB as a...

NTE was a small New Jersey company that was a source of transistors that were often out of stock elsewhere, including several Ge transistors. However, I just noticed that they went out of business 2 months ago. Apparently a company called Vetco Electronics has purchased their inventory, and will...

Has anyone tried silicon carbide (SiC) diodes as clippers in their circuits? If so, can they comment on how they sound compared to other options? SiC diodes have a quoted forward voltage of ~1.35V, putting them between Si diodes (Vf ~ 0.7V) and Red LEDs (Vf ~ 1.7V) and comparable to infrared...

I ran across this TI document (TIDU887), which relates to a specific TI test circuit which I doubt is still available. Although the discussion is specific to their tone stack circuit (shown below), they analyze it in great detail. The doc is well written, hence I thought some folks might find...

I just finished this puppy, went together perfectly without a single incident or problem. Thanks, @Robert! So now I'm just beginning to explore the wide range of great tones it generates. Tayda metallic candy red enclosure, my usual vinyl lettering, and 2 clear coats - to my eyes, it looks...

Would someone tell me what the tunable parameters are for the 3 modes of the Unison Double Tracker PCB? I.e., for Mode #1 = Dual Detune, what are the tunable parameters 1, 2 & 3? for Mode #2 = Modulated, what are the tunable parameters 1, 2 & 3? for Mode #3 = Double Take, what are the...

Another great sounding pedal, I'm enjoying it as well. Vinyl labels again... The wiring is a bit messier than my usual near the in/out pins. I had it all installed and ready to box up before realizing I'd grabbed one wrong pot, so I had to rip it all out and re-install it... I should set things...

This is a great sounding decay pedal, I'm very happy with it. Standard 125B with vinyl-cut labels + one layer of clear coat. The back already has some dings in it from using it...

Some pics of my Cornish G-2 clone (Aion Cygnus PCB). Apologies this one is not from PPCB, I only just decided to post some of my builds. But I'll make sure the next posts are from @Robert - I have several in my queue. I'm building for my personal use, and as we have a Silhouette Portrait 2 vinyl...
