I built up a guvernator and there was no output. Traced it with a scope and the signal is zero between the treb pin 2 and the level pin 3: Checked all the resistors and caps. All good. Pass through is fine, jack wiring is fine Stomp wiring is fine So i suspected a trace problem and applied a...

I am looking at the different FV1 based pcbs on pedalpcb. I don't need anything extreme. Wondering about the Unison double tracker. I wouldn't mind a memory man build. If you were to build one delay pedal for rock to metal, what would you choose? :) Pb

Does anyone have a suggestion for a pcb that uses the Reticon SAD1024 BBD? A few were gifted to me so i thought i would build something. I am not really a phaser guy but maybe i could learn. Thanks Pb

The promethium calls for 1u5 elec in c16. 1u5 is uncommon. Nextgen (local) guitars sells 0.47u caps. There is a postal strike on here so my options are limited. I can put a 0.47u in parallel or just go with a 1u cap. Thoughts? Pb

Hi Question about the board for the hm-2/promethium pcb: The top has (Blank) + A K - (blank) + - are power A K are LED The blanks should be the input/output positive but i am just assuming. Can someone confirm? The input/output negative go to the stomp Thanks Pb

Just wanted to confirm. The stomp switches mount on the side that says “this side down “ right? Thanks Pb

I looked at a few other schematics and don't see a charge pump in the design, e.g. theseus (aeonfx). I am wondering what the difference is without it. I am wondering why it was added. If i choose to remove the charge pump, is there a wiring fix required? thanks Pb

i was wondering if anyone has built a z matcher pedal/box that matches the impedance between amp head and cab. I have cab with a v30 16 ohm (that i like) but the 5e3 amp head output is 8 ohm. Thanks Pb

https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/TwillDeluxe.pdf Hi all, I am looking into breadboarding the twill to see what it sounds like. I guess the gain switch requires one stomp connection and another for the led. Any reason i can’t use a dpdt stomp? It will save a buck but also space. I am also...

Hi all, I have a few questions about the charge pump board. I think this would be great for my PNP fuzz pedal design to take in 9v centre neg power like the others. in 2 holes on left and out 2 holes on the right: these look like input/output wires, maybe there are 2 for stereo? There is a + -...

I notices the two holes beside the + - are not labeled on the pcb. I am assuming they are GND? thanks Pb

Looking at a buffer schematic, the G is in yellow below. But I am assuming that the drain and source are interchangeable since they are not labeled. While I am at it, can a electrolytic be used in C2 (neg towards out)? thanks Pb

I am looking for germanium diodes for a foxx Tone Machine build. Pedal pcb has d9b https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/a8002/ Are they ok for build? Thanks Pb

Typical fuzz circuits use a gainier transistor in q2. I noticed that the schematics i have seen for the foxx tone master use all the same transistors 2n3565 , 2n5088 or 2n5089. Is there any value in using a higher gain trans in q2? Eg 2n5088 q1 2n5089 q2 Thanks Pb

Any recommendations on wire to use for pedal building? I have tried cloth 22awg, and the plastic/vinyl 22awg. I find cloth a bit of a pain to work with but it looks good. The plastic is a bit rigid. Anyone using 24awg...

Hi I think the pcb silk screen is right but i thought i would ask. The layout document and pcb differ for r10 and r8 The 1 m resistor looks like apull down on the output. The trace on the pcb looks like that is the correct r10. Thoughts? Pb

First time using a charge pump. I am looking into building the sunface: https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/Sunflower-PedalPCB.pdf The tl1044 takes in +9v and pin 5 puts out -9v. Is the ground still the (-) that comes in or the (-) below the 47u cap that joins -9v to ground? maybe dumb question...

I built the thermionic beod clone. Great pedal but noticed the presence pot starts to sound scratchy/spitty once turned half. Just a bad pot and replace it? Thanks Pb

I am wondering if the reverb pedals with fv1 chips need special programming to be useful. I thought if they had an algorithm preloaded that is all you need unless you want to roll your own. Is that correct? Thanks Pb

I am wondering whether i should build a reverb pedal like https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb058/ Or just buy a used one like the ehx oceans 11. Or maybe there is a better option on pcb? My use case is simple hall/spring reverb since my amp doesn’t have it. My first instinct is to build it...
