So while I wait for Robert to drop the Signal Blender and a 4 tap DC converter PCB I spent New Year's Day finally getting to a project I've wanted to do for a long time; Rehousing my massive Big Muff Pi. It was actually a pretty smooth job. The key to it all was using 9mm pots...

Against my better judgement, I've started building a Mobius Strip. It is a complex build and I have had problems with simple builds (I can count on one hand the number of pedals that fired right up for me) so I'm anticipating problems with this one. I was hoping there was some great advice on...

So I built a simple junction box for my pedalboard that includes an input, output and an i/o audition loop for a volume pedal. I used simple JFet SMD buffers for the input and output but not for the audition loop (MMBFJ201). I essentially tried to build this project without the crazy expensive...

(I will post pictures tomorrow, but they aren't really necessary for the purposes of this post.) I boxed up my Octagon last night and played through it. Each effect seems to be working but the output of the effect is really low. Like really low. Staring at it and reviewing pics of other...

This may not be a troubleshooting thread at all, but its more more of a gap in my understanding. Bear with me. I hooked this up to an Auditorium and after the pedal failed to work in effects mode I put an audio probe to it and got signal pretty much from the volume pot all the way to C1. I was...

There seems to be a fair amount of interest on this board for parallel mixers. I know that makes an appearance in the Wish List forum. I've asked Robert about the possibility that one will be forthcoming, but no answer. It sounds like one is in the works, but it's not soup yet. Darn. My perfect...

I've been interested in incorporating trim pots into both build and breadboard projects. The question for more experienced builders is what sort of stocks to you keep available on your workbench? What value pots would you keep onhand, and what type of trim pots do you prefer? I wanted to...

So I'm getting ready to build an Octagon MultiFX pedal and wanted to do some pre-planning. I have never built a Reverb pedal before and never worked with FV-1 tech so, as usual, I'm out of my depth here. But I'd like to build it stock and still leave the option open to easily mod it here and...

This should have been a buggy, frustrating build but looking back it went off without a hitch. It seemed like a great noise rock pedal (based, I'm assuming on the discontinued EQD Interstellar Orbiter) that I bought on a whim. I put it together very straightforward but if I had it to do over...

Hello all, I've been assembling a Chaos Machine for a while now and I'm now to the point of finalizing it and, what I'm assuming will be, the long debug process. I wanted to go ahead and ask in advance if anyone has ever figured out the "ticking" problem with this circuit. It seems to be...

I've been lurking on this site for quite a while so by way of an introduction, here's a couple of RAT pedals that I built during the Virus That Must Not Be Named party. They started life as GGG boards. General Guitar Gadgets makes good PCBs (they are tough and spacious) though I like the...

This is aimed at the PedalPCB administrator. Finished a Kliche and, of course, it doesn't work. I get no sound in bypass and an open channel sound (the hum you get from a hot 1/4 jack when you touch it) when engaged and the LED works as it should. So the troubleshooting phase starts now, I...
