Hey all. I’m having a fun time with this build, first off. Second; on the top left and top right, there are a couple spots labeled GE. I’m certain one side needs to be a silicon diode and the other germanium diodes. And if so, is there a value better than the other that I should use for...

Hope everyone is having a great day so far. I just got the fuzzy fox PCB, but no drill template posted yet. Does anyone have an old template floating around? If not, no biggie. I can finish all the soldering and line it up. I can get all the needed parts from the PCB, but not sure if the...

Hope everyone is great! I’m trying to grab a mean gritty doomy evil nasty fuzz PCB. I got the Silismile, Kewpie and Bellum fuzz MKII. All great pedals. The Kewpie is the clear winner, but want to grab a PCB that’ll sound even meaner than that. If that’s even possible. But if someone has a...

So, I've been reading up a lot on this, and am some what confident I have this all ready to go. But, I figured I would check here to see If was correct in my thinking. What I'm trying to do is us a PNP transistor, BUT have it work on a negative to ground circuit. What I'm reading is simply...

Hope everyone is good!! I'm trying to build a NPN version of the Dallas Rangemaster. I actually got some PCB's made based off of electrosmash's schematics (https://www.electrosmash.com/images/tech/rangemaster/dallas-rangemaster-positive-negative-ground-circuits.png). I followed it to a tee...

Probably a real dumb question, but is there a way to round out the edges on diptrace's PCB design? When I do my board outline, I cant find anywhere allowing me to round the edges. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I'm looking to design a PCB for a shatterbox style pedal. I've been looking around for some ideas, but can only find PNP schematics, when I want to use NPN so I can use a power supply instead of a 9 volt battery. Has anyone stumbled across these? I want to get a Marc Bolan type...

So, new to diptrace and PCB design. I guess this might be a dumb question, but what size pad do I use for input/output, ground, etc. I see a lot of options on diptrace. Looked for some answers, but got a lot of all over the place responses. Hopefully this question makes sense. Thanks...

Hey guys. I recently built the SiliSmile PCB. Sounds great! But……….. it would be REALLY cool to add a tone control knob. Or maybe there’s a PCB that already has a tone control on it? Is this even possible or would I need another transistor maybe? I’ve tried a few different fuzz pedals...

Hey! So, I had a crappy old DOD classic tube laying around. I took out the 2 clipping diodes (at least that’s what I believe they were as I’m a rookie still learning) and added sockets and red LED’s. If anyone is interested, I pulled out the top left diodes next to the POT’s. This added a...

Hey guys! Still new to pedal building and having a great time! Just ordered the Pitch Witch PCB and saw it requires a 100k trim pot. I was curious if anyone had any tips to what value I should see from the trim pot? Or is it kind of something I have to play with and dial in? Sorry if that’s...

Hey guys! I'm fairly new to pedal building. But have built a handful of pedals with little to no issues. I love the fuzz war, so decided to build this circuit. It works, however, i ordered 390k resistors instead of 390r (ohms). I had some 330r (ohms) on hand and stuck these, with sockets...
