It’s time. I’ve had an iMac for around eight years now, and it is finally giving me enough issues that I need to move on. Namely, the OS can no longer update. I want to move into a new MacBook, but it’s been so long since I’ve looked into something like this that I will require some assistance...

Ok party people. Put together a total of three Informants all at the same time. One worked perfectly first fire up. The second, the LED would stay dimly lit in bypass. The third, buffered bypass is not working. Very fun. The LED issue on the second one, I worked out, but the third one is still...

Ok, so I built one of the 4 Tap DC Isolators with the intention of using it as an off-board power supply for my “amp” setup, which is a UAFX Dream and Ox Stomp off-board. When I built the 4 Tap, I made sure to get the highest mA output I could find at Mouser, which was 330 mA, for each output...

Hey there, fine folks. One of my buddies has asked me to rehouse his OCD 1.2, which I am happy to do, but I need some help with the wiring. I think. because the original power jack is hot glued into the enclosure, I’m not going to be able to get it out, so I’m going to need to replace it. We...

Ok, not exactly sure how to describe what’s going on, but basically my most recent build (newest iteration of ADHD w/ enhanced bypass board) is making a high pitched squealing noise. When pedal is in True Bypass mode, the noise only occurs when the pedal is engaged. When the pedal is in Buffered...

So I'm looking at adding a switch to go between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping, specifically in the Cast Iron overdrive. I've attached a schematic of the clipping diodes, and just want to make sure I'm thinking about this right. First, if I want to just make it asymmetrical clipping, can...

Ok, so I'm finalizing a design and getting all of my layers ready in Affinity Designer. At the last second, I thought it would be cool to have the main logo done with the gloss varnish, and then the text/controls in the matte. Is this doable? The template that Tayda gives for the layers says...

Ok, I know there are a bunch of threads about biasing the Son Of Ben, and even more about just biasing in general, but I could not find an answer to this. I have built two separate pedals that need biasing (3-4 of each), one being the Son of Ben (Benson Preamp) and the other being the Taqueria...

Hey all, I have a couple of builds coming up that call for the JRC4559D (Sliver and Stagecoach), but sourcing this part seems a bit difficult, with the only real option being AionFX. I will also be building a Cast Iron soon, which calls for the RC4559, which is readily available at...

Lytt Effects is proud to present the: Benny the Jet The PCB: obviously from the fine folks here at PedalPCB. The layout of this one, like with most projects, is easy to read, follow, and work with. The bias instructions are also super helpful to get it into the ballpark, and then adjust to...

So, one of my buddies commissioned an octave/fuzz for his bass rig. Can anyone offer recommendations for a PedalPCB board setup that will work for this? We are not opposed to doing an all-in-one PCB for octave/fuzz, or a 2-in-1 with one board for fuzz, one for octave. I would actually prefer...

Lytt Effects is proud to present the: First Rule (of overdrives) The PCB: the Gladiator from AionFX, which is a trace of the King Tone Duellist. Overall an easy build, but I do prefer the part values on the PCB rather than the part number. I understand the why behind it though, as it’s slightly...

Very simple, clean build here. Low component count, lots of space to work with when installing the PCB, and just a fantastic sounding circuit. If anyone is looking for a low gain, always on type of dirt, this is it. I definitely get the hype around the Greer Lightspeed now, so if you haven’t...

Big shoutout to @Robert for the name on this one. Overall this was a smooth build, and I’m loving the sounds of this thing. The Taco side of the switch definitely sounds cool, and I really like the ability to flip the gain toggle as well in Taco mode. A great PCB design as always and an easy...

Ok, this one is giving me a run for my money. I built one of these already and it worked right out of the gate, with one minor issue on the green side where the LED would stay very dimly lit when bypassed. I got that issue resolved (somehow, not sure exactly), and moved on to building my second...

I've been asking a lot of questions around these parts, but I live firmly by the belief that the only stupid questions are the questions not asked, so here it goes: I'm interested in adding a send/return loop for each side of the Pro-10 (Browne Protein) just like that original unit has. There...

Hey All, As usual, I come bearing a novice question of a gift for you all. My next build is going to be the Son Of Ben (Benson Preamp), and there is a thread about general modifications for the circuit. Two of the modifications involve either omitting a cap, changing the value of the cap, or...

Third build of the bunch that I’m doing. This one went well from start to finish, and I added in the buffer/TB switch board. So far I’m 3/3 on pedals working right out of the gate, so I’m feeling good! I nailed down my workflow, wiring, and have all my parts organized now, so this one went much...

Just in time for the discontinuation of the Superbolt, I bring to you the: Lytt Effects Lyttning Bolt Still figuring out graphics for this one, and nailing down a name, but I’ll get there soon enough. This was my second build in a little over two weeks, and third all time. The first was a kit...

Ok, quick question. I have a 3PDT breakout board that has the on-board buffer on/off switch found here. First question: is this compatible with the Informant (1981 DRV) pcb, and second: do the grounds from the jacks go to the ground pads on the breakout board, or do the grounds from the in/out...
