If I wanted to use the diagram below for my looper switch to completely ground input and output of the FX looped pedal (It’s an RC3 looper that introduces an annoying white noise when plugged that I can hear even when I have it looped using traditional 2DPT wiring), I have some questions; I...

I was reading some info on the similarities between a Spirit Box build and another build that utilizes the PT2399 delay chip. The spirit box currently has a 10k pot for attack attached to pin 6 of the PT2399. The seabed delay uses a 50k pot connected to the same pin I believe. Theoretically...

I am thinking about building the Spirit Box as my next project, the idea of a reverb with delay options in one pedal really intrigues me. My question is… would it be possible to modify the circuit so I could add a toggle or second Footswitch to turn the attack just either on or off rather than...

This may be a atupid question but here goes, obviously a lot of builders wrap their transistor legs either wire insulation at install and I plan to do the same. How does this affect being able to bias using the collector of Q2? Do use a shorter piece of insulation on that leg so I have something...

I have the Peachtree on the way for my next build. I know it’s a close of the Missing Link Audio Hotlanta dual drive. They also offer a hotlanta le that has germanium components. My question is what components would be swapped for germanium? I searched and couldn’t find any useful info on the...

I searched but couldn’t find one… anyone have a template for the Peachtree overdrive?

If I want to properly ground a powder coated enclosure do I need to sand around the holes for just the input and output Jack or do I need to do it for all parts that contact the enclosure (pots, Footswitch, dc jack) inside and outside to include the inner part of the holes? This would make sense...

This may be a strange question… I am in the process of building a fuzz pedal (Twin Face) and am trying to bias the transistors. First issue is that in the past I have grounded the black lead of my multi meter to the enclosure, on this build if I do that I get a reading of 0. The red lead is on...

If you are socketing transistors on a build, does the general consensus seem to be that once you settle on a pair to remove the sockets and solder in the chosen transistors? Does this help improve the circuit in any way? Desoldering is not a strong suit of mine and I avoid it at all costs...

If I was to add external bias trim knobs is it safe to assume that the pads circled in the attached photo would all correlate to lug 1 on a standard B10K alpha pot? I only ask because the trim pots on this PCB seem to be turned 180 degrees compared to the Silismile Fuzz I built previously.

What am I missing here? This is my first time using the LED 3DPT single color stomp Footswitch. I used a breakout board and connected the 4 center wires as normal with posts of the LED stom switch also in the ground and Switch terminals. I then soldered in a jumper between the two hole in the...

I am looking at this as my next build and have some questions for people that have accomplished this project before. 1.) what are good alternative transistors for the PNP Germanium side if I decide to deviate from the build specs? 2.) What are good HFE values for both sides (Q1/Q2 and Q3/Q4)...

I am trying to source parts for this build and need clarification on one item. For C100 the build documentation says it’s a 100uf electrolytic capacitor with a size of 5mm. When I search for this I have several different options. What size do I need (5x7 or 5x11) and which voltage? I see 10, 16...

I recently completed a build of the Silismile fuzz. I want to modify it by removing the internal trim pot for biasing the transistors and replacing it with an external pot. I know I will desolder the current bias pot and will solder in 3 wires that I will connect to the external pot. I am a noob...

I just completed my first build and I am having an issue when testing the final product. I built a Silimile Fuzz Face clone, when the pedal is off I have a signal that passes through with no issues. When I engage the pedal I need to have the volume and fuzz knobs all the way up to get anything...
