Does anyone out there have any tips/do's and don'ts for stacking multiple PCBs in one enclosure and for cleaning up offboard wiring? I've got a monster of a build I'm excited to share with you guys soon, but at the moment I'm only able to fit it in a whopping 1590DD and the wiring is a complete...

I was wondering if anyone would have any interest in the blend board I'm working on. It takes up more real estate than more simple counterparts, but it includes a phase switch for one of the sends, and if you use switched jacks you can turn the clean blend into a parallel FX loop. Not to mention...

I usually clean the underside of my boards with IPA and a toothbrush. Just put together another Muzzle and I was about to clean it, but I started wondering if this is a bad idea because the THAT retrofit module is hard soldered to the board. Is there any reason to worry about static buildup from...

Traded the first one for the repair of my JCM800's FX loop, but I liked the sound so much I immediately built another one for myself. I think I still prefer the original colors better, but I thought I would try to do a more Klon inspired theme this time around. Started with a bare enclosure that...

Earlier today I ordered some boss ds-1 clone boards from Aion and about an hour later my buddy came over with a DS-1 and said he would trade it to me for making him a pedal(which I was going to do anyway). Serendipity I suppose. Anyway, it is made in Taiwan and has thru-hole components. An...

Looking for suggestions for some PedalPCB reverb and/or delay pedals. I've only built overdrives and distortions up until now and I'm ready to branch out now that I got the FX loop of my JCM repaired. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.

This is the only non-PedalPCB build I've done so far other than my first pedal kit. Fun easy build, but I didn't realize the ground and switch pads are reversed compared to PedalPCB boards, so I had to re-do that. Socketed a few components since the build docs had different values for one of the...

I finally ran out of my good ole roll of solder I got in July and replaced it with a different brand with the same specs. 60/40 SN/PB, 0.8mm, 2% flux. Nothing else has changed and I have a high-quality iron. For some reason, all my joints are dulling like they are cold with this different brand...

This is only my second attempt doing a waterslide decal and I had an extremely frustrating mishap with the border. The decal started moving around and appeared to be shrinking so I did my best to save face and get it as straight as I could, but I think I overworked it. I've watched and read...

I'm looking into getting a laser printer for printing decals, etching some homemade PCBs, and general day-job-related documents. I've been trying to look around, but haven't really seen a general consensus on a good one. My budget is probably upwards of $500 but obviously would love to spend...

So I'm putting this together for a friend and this is actually my second attempt because I got so frustrated with the first that after all the socketing and desoldering the PCB was pretty mangled. Anyway, the issue I'm having is an insane amount of hiss/noise. It isn't a hum like 50/60 cycle...

So firstly I love the Muzzle, it works great! The only issue I'm having is a high-pitched squeal when running high output pedals on extreme settings into the input. My first question is, how should the grounding go for the Key and Passthrough jacks? I noticed on this version of the board there...

Just wondering for those of you who have put one together, does yours sound extremely dark also? I have to turn the presence knob up all the way along with boosting the treble quite a bit to get a useable tone. I saw it was suggested to possibly change or remove C19 to make it brighter so I...

So I have a few of the jacks listed in the Muzzle build docs on order from Tayda, but I was wondering if I might be able to use some of these other switch jacks currently in my possession. The boards got here much sooner than anticipated and I'm anxious to get started on one (thank you PedalPCB...

Just wondering how big of a task it would be to mod an existing somewhat simple noise gate, like the muffler for example, to accept a sidechain input to trigger the gating. Im looking at incorporating something like this into a double pedal with a distortion (pomethium) so the gate would be...

Hello, I'm new here and to pedal building in general and I just recently put together a Promethium distortion successfully. It sounds great, but one thing I noticed was a little reduction in the low end with the distortion knob turned all the way down compared to my original HM-2. I'm aware that...
