My son’s friend left his Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker pedal at our house so I tried it out. I was about done messing with it when I tried the Volume at the extreme settings. Going down to the bottom the sound cuts out sooner than it should. Going to the top it gets a crackle sound. And I think...

Here's my finished Cast Iron, which I became interested in last Fall after seeing some good reviews. I like my 2006 Timmy so a "Timmy" with an added mid control sounded like a great idea. And that's pretty much what I am seeing with this. If all the EQ knobs are more or less at noon, with the...

I have the Cast Iron finished and it worked for several days. Then overnight it won't pass any signal in bypass or activated. Checking the footswitch I was getting continuity where it wasn't wanted - in bypass on lugs 1 & 2, and 5 & 6 when effect was on. I checked the continuity switch before...

Either I or Tayda screwed up and I now have 10 1 watt 470k resistors instead of 1/4 watt. They are obviously much bigger. Assuming I might have a project that these will actually fit into, is there any problem with using them in place of a 1/4 watt resistor? I'll bet it was me that screwed up, btw

I have some questions about drilling that I think I already know the answer to but I just want to be sure. The Cast Iron Overdrive is the standard PedalPCB 5 knob layout? The pots on the Golden Falk are the standard PedalPCB 4 knob layout (but has the switch where the LED normally is and an...

My Lab Rat is sounding gated as a note fades or is gently plucked on the LED clipping selection. It does not do it on the 1N4148 selection. Picking hard it seems normal. It did not do this previously. I don't see anything jumping out at me looking at the guts. Anyone have any suggestions on...

The build doc has notes about the parameters for the transistors. Are the 2N5457 ones sold at PedalPCB fit those parameters? And D1 & D2 are BAT43 which Tayda is currently out of. Are there other diodes that would be an acceptable substitute?

I am using the Boss SDE3000 to do wet / dry / wet with 3 amps. I want a stereo volume pedal to control the volume of the left and right ‘wet’ amps, to control the volume of the delays effectively. I know someone who uses the Lehle one but it is expensive! Not a big deal but I don’t like the look...

This is my first build report since last summer. Starting in July I was basically working 2 jobs through November, or at least a job-and-a-half most days. Sometime in October I had things in stride and realized I had time to squeeze in a bit of pedal building. Then I got hit by a car while...

I have a Tayda enclosure that I want to remove the powder coat from. I saw in the DIY powder coat thread acetone and an orbital sander was mentioned. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I have an old Squier Strat that a couple years ago I changed the original pickups and pots, and wired it to the G&L PTB. This week I replaced the pickguard. Now the “T” (treble) tone pot reaches it maximum brightness at about 8 on the knob, from there going to 10, it gets darker on the rest of...

Here is one I created for the Effects Layouts Prismatic. This one has a hole for a larger external nut 9v jack so you might want to make it smaller depending on what you are using. I have assembled it and works! https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/edit?id=18257

I am wanting to build the Felix OD from Effects Layouts. I have a Black Cat version that I do like but I want to see if I can get the same tones with the Felix but have a Tone control to play with, and have a clipping options switch. Looking at the schematic am I correct in assuming that to the...

This is my first project in 9 months because of a busy work schedule, and then having knee surgery as a result of getting hit by a car while walking in a crosswalk! Well now I am out of work and on disability and was able to have some time to start this. And what was supposed to be a simple...

Killer! I never had or tried a Rat until several years ago I bought a used Mooer Black Secret, which I like but didn't really use too much. Several months ago someone here stated that he was a Rat super fan and that the Lab Rat was his new favorite Rat. That's when I decided to get this in the...

Here's my Two Tone Fuzz build. For the transistors, I followed the guidelines on the Aion FX Deimos (Tone Bender mkII) in selecting what I have, which isn't a lot. That turned out to be 2 of the 3 from a "3 Knob Tone Bender" set I got from Small Bear (Q2 &Q3) and an AC125 (Q1). I have a Ramble...

I thought I was done with this type of pedal based on what I've built and what I have that were commercially bought, but then I started watching Dave Barber interviews on 5 Watt World and PJ & the Beard, and I was curious. It's pretty good I'd say. But as I thought, I already had this territory...

I finished this Candid Drive and tested it on the Auditorium Test Platform and then in the enclosure. Everything seemed fine. I then took it apart, applied a waterslide decal and clear coat to the enclosure, and put it back together. Now the TONE pot is acting like a volume and I am almost...

Here's my King Nothing. I originally installed D1 backwards and didn't catch it until after a good length Troubleshooting thread. D'oh! I was embarrassed about that. Sounds killer. Versatile with the 3 gain and bass positions. I compared it to my Madbean Archibald (Tube Driver) since it also...

Here's my finished Beatle Juice. I am using 1N4148 diodes currently since others have previously said that they didn't hear a difference between those, 1N914 and OA200 in the original. I am using the original BC547A transistors which are hfe in the 300s but I did try 2N2222A which were in the...
