I want to make a Boss DM-2 on a PCB near to the size of the original. What size of resistors did they build into the original pedal? Was it 1/4W or 1/8W? I want to make sure I won't run out of space before starting to build. Moreover from 1% tolerance resistors I only have 1/2W type, I guess...

I want to copy and modify this pedal to suit my needs, because as it is, it is not very usable. It is a pretty simple build on its own, connection routes are visible, only normal sized components, the compressor is noise and distortion free, so would be a good starting point. But the only...

I have built this op-amp circuit below to be able to adjust the input volume at the beginning of my effect chain to pedals without needing to turn the volume knob down on my guitar that causes trebles being lost. I was recommended this circuit instead, as it was said to preserve the trebles on...

I need to build a compressor or limiter that I can use to regulate the signal in my effect chain before routing the signal to low headroom effects. The range to squeeze is not wide, would be fairly easy to set it only for a few outstanding peaks. I have a studio compressor like pedal, but it...

I noticed this problem with compressors initially, but remembered that 15 years ago I had a chorus pedal that produced similar nasty distortions like my compressors, and now as I know the phenomenon that causes the issue I decided to rebuy that pedal and see if it could be modded to get rid of...

I want to buy a 2SK184GR transistor. It is cheapest on Aliexpress including shipping. But I wonder if I can trust the sources there that what they sell is this transistor indeed? Has anyone ordered transistors from Aliexpress to confirm this? Also, on the surface of these there is always some...

Are there any apps where you can load jpg schematics for the AI to analyze it and let you simulate it, for example allowing you to send a signal into the modelled pedal described on a schematic to test it at different points like you do with an audio probe?

This is about the factory pedal, not a self made pedal. I have 5 pedals from different brands, 3 of them does the same, but I need the Keeley the most. It suffers from terrible intermodulation. Becomes audible when you play intervals around frets 20-24. No matter what interval you play, you...

So the question is in the title. If it is possible, could you link some pages to build such a circuit? I need to chop the highest peaks just a little bit. If there is no solution like that device side, could I achieve the same by tweaking the pickups to squeeze the dynamic range a little bit?

I have created a buffer, copied from the Boss MT pedal buffer, and added a trimmer to the output as well. I measured the in and outgoing signal, it seems to work, but there are 2 things I would like to have clarified before I plug this into my soundcard: 1. On the layered image, where you can...

I would like to make this circuit on stripboard. This is actually a buffer on the input in one of the Boss pedals, with some modification, so that the signal leaving the circuit is reduced with 50% in the end. On the photo below, on the left side, you can see the original buffer circuit from...

I have a problem with certain compressors all the time, I would like to know if my favorite one could be modified to solve that problem. Here is a video. I am showing the mentioned compressor: GURUS OPTIVALVE, an LA-2A inspired item. The problem is what you can hear right away: it is...
