I've noticed that some folks test their builds before boxing them or deciding if they want to put them in an enclosure. The Auditorium Test Platform even helps with that workflow. I want to start doing this myself so I can be more selective when deciding if I want to box a circuit. My question...

Hello. I am looking for feedback from folks who use spray clear coat over their powered coated enclosures. For those who use spray clear coat like your basic Kylon clear coat or rattle can clear you get from your local hardware store, do you use any type of adhesion promoter or clear primer...

Hi. It looks like there are some NOS Fairchild J201s available on Small Bear again. Any personal opinions on if these are worth grabbing, or would you stick to SMD J201s going forward? I myself am on the fence on whether to pick up a few...

Howdy all. I sold the Mach 1 pedal I built a few months ago to a friend. Ever since then I've missed it. So I decided to build 2 new ones! I built one in a 125b enclosure, and one in a 1590b enclosure. I built one in a 1590b box because despite what people say, sometimes smaller is better... or...

I built an Angry Andy this weekend, which is modeled after the JHS Andy Timmons pedal. Let’s address the art work and design first because it’s become the defining feature of this build. I thought it was funny to change Angy Andy into Angry Donny and use imagery along those lines. I’ve realized...

I have been looking into the Electro Harmonix Flatiron Fuzz. EHX says this is based on the Rat circuit with a different Op-Amp and some additional tweaks. I've read in some other forums that EHX made some changes to the tone stack and that just changing the Op-Amp in a Rat pedal wouldn't result...

I need to start off by mentioning that working with amps can be very dangerous if the correct precautions are not taken and if you are unaware of the dangers lurking in higher voltage circuitry. Please don't temp the fates unless you take the proper precautions and are aware of the risks. I say...

Hi all. I've been trying to get more active by posting and interacting with the members of this community. I've been creeping, ermm I mean observing for a while. There's a lot to learn here, and a lot of really knowledgable members. I am glad to be here and thanks to everyone who is willing to...

Hello, I’ve been trying to find the best method for cleaning flux off a PCB. Here is what I have been doing recently: I take an alcohol based contact and electronics cleaner and spray and scrub the PCB after I have populated it with most of the components (except the pots, switches or anything...

Hello, can someone who has either built the newest version of the Chop Shop PCB confirm what value the Volume potentiometer should be? The build doc states A100K, but the board itself says A10K. Thanks in advance.

Hi all! I finished up a Muzzle (Classic) build this past weekend. The pedal seems to work as intended but I am getting some crackling and fizzy sounds when the input signal is crossing below the pedal’s threshold setting. This happens with the four cable or the two cable method. The noise...
