Built a pedal this evening, test fit in the enclosure but don’t tighten everything down. Fires right up. Woohoo! Tightening everything down, midway the led turns off, won’t come back on. Pull it, test it, it’s dead. Reason I keep power on is because it’s happened before, usually backing off...

Synchrony Pedalworks put together the Marriage Keeper, a headphone amp and UniCab in one. I think it’s an awesome idea, VERY well done and I’m 100% "borrowing" it with a few tweaks. Since this will be a desktop unit, I want to move the headphone jack to the bottom instead of the top—my SSL2+...

Friend and I were chatting at lunch, he’s interested in a low to mid gain pedal for his surf punk band. He’s using amp distortion from a solid state Marshall (I forget the model) and a boss overdrive (that that I’m modding) Kliche is my first thought but wanted to see if the brain trust had...

Hi! I am in need of an on/on 3pdt toggle for a desktop headphone amp/cab sim I’m putting together. Looking for something with some heft, like a clunk, not the petite little click you get when you use a tayda switch. I want to know this thing is on. Searched LMS, Tayda and SBP, didn’t see...

Looking for options for some stickers for art. Last round I used these https://ninjatransfers.com/products/uv-dtf-stickers-decals-by-size They look good, are a little raised to give some depth, can print white, cut to shape, get pretty detailed and you can gang orders together really easily...

Hi! Putting together a phaser II and no yellow LED. It is showing .5v In the build I had to remove one of the ic sockets of IC 3, it was a pain in the ass but got it out and a new one in. I was reflowing everything and came across one of the legs of IC 3 won’t take solder, there is also a...

Hello again. I’ve had a good run lately! 3 of the last 5 needing the forums help! My issue- not hearing a thing with the high cut switch. Went through and reheated all the joints. Checked the switch for continuity. Gave it a glaring look. One thing of note, I did put in the wrong switch...

Hi! Built an Angry Charlie, sounds cool but getting this crazy feedback squealing sound when have the gain cranked. Also the volume and mids cause it when cranked. Even with the guitar unplugged it’s squealing. I can see it hitting the leds and engaging them. I tapped on the case to see if...

I usually get my knobs from Tayda because they offer a good selection at great prices. However, with the current 12+ business day delay on enclosures, it would be helpful to have a variety of knobs on hand on hand so my pedals look more complete while I wait. There's nothing worse than a naked...

Finished up this build yesterday, spent some time tinkering with it to make sure it was 100% before boxing it up with no problems. Sounds great! After boxing it up, tried it again and there was noise in time and depth as the LED. While I assume it isn’t the actual LED causing it something...

Ahoy! I'm on the hunt for a lower-gain, cleaner overdrive that still has a nice bit of sustain. A lot of the low-gain drives I've tried seem to fall flat in the sustain department, which has been a bit of a letdown. I've heard that "Dumble" style amps and pedals are great for this kind of...

Hey everyone! Here’s my first build report—please go easy on me! The Build: This was my 7th build, and by far the most complex at the time. While I initially wanted to tackle something like this early on, I’m glad I waited a bit. I was a little intimidated at first, but once I got the first...

So yeah……..dropped my Danae and now it’s not working. Passes audio on bypass, lights up, power to the IC. Thoughts on what it could be?

Hi Hi! Been doing some mods of commercially available pedals like the DS-1 Seeing Eye Mod and possibly want to start modding PPCB builds. That said, I am a paint buy numbers guy right now so following instructions but not know why I am doing what I am doing. Is there a...

Building a headphone Unicab combo for playing late at night, light testing pedals and breadboards without my tube amp. Any suggestions on vox and fender in a box? Or any other pres? I like a tone with just a touch of hair on it that I can push with an overdrive and boost. Cobbler looks good...

Ahoy! Learning bread boarding I have been watching some videos on the YouTube and have seen people put together bread boards for pedals from right to left like the signal flow of a pedal (input on the right side, output on the left) or left to right like the schematic. Pros/Cons? Right/Wrong?

Here is my question of the day. New to all of this, learning bread boarding and want to try a fuzz face, what is the -9v on the top? How do I go about doing that?

Bonjour Just got my protoboard, going to build it out this week, still waiting for a part from Tayda that should be here any day now. (Holds breath) What is everyone using for a backer for these? I have seen some on cutting boards but was thinking something a little more sleek. Maybe find...

Hola! In the pro audio world, I’ve noticed many interfaces and monitor control sections come with a dim switch, which is really handy for quickly lowering the volume during critical listening without losing track of the original level. I’m wondering if there’s a way to mod a headphone amp to...

Hi! Still a new builder, started in September. I am looking to get into breadboarding to learn more about how circuits work more so than the paint by numbers I am doing now. For the way I learn, I think breadboarding will be the best. Also will keep me busy between orders! While I have a...
