I recently finished a build of the Tactical Fuzz. It sounds great as a fuzz, but it doesn't clean up no matter how low I set the volume on my guitar (which is my main reason for wanting to build this pedal). I couldn't find instructions for how to set the internal trim pot in the build...

SOLVED: For Q2 I was using a through hole K30A transistor which uses a pinout that does not match the placement of the holes on the pcb and so I had soldered this part incorrectly. After correcting my mis-soldering, I used this method from @Jeffrey to set the trimmer pot and get the pedal...

I've got a Kliche mini that isn't clipping. As I turn the gain knob I get changes in volume and it sounds like it is mixing two channels, but they are both clean, even with the gain turned all the way up. I get sound when the pedal is on and when it's off and the treble knob and volume pot seem...

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I was looking at the semi-sweet distortion build documents and it lists the volume pot as being “10k.” https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/SemiSweetDistortion.pdf So far all the pots I’ve worked with have had their taper listed (A, B, W, &c). Is there such a...

https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=b2h5WWsxbHZKNU9lcXdOdXEwV1M5dz09Cg== Hole 3 on side A is sized for a 3mm LED in a chrome bezel so be sure to adjust that depending on your plans, if necessary.

Solution: Using an audio probe and tracing the path of the signal, I found that the second op-amp stage was not actually sending out an amplified signal on its output, pin 7. I reflowed the solder on the parts in that stage and replaced the spec'ed IC, a CA3260, with a JRC4850D...

I've been running into issues with putting together an Oxide pedal. After assembling it, bypass sounded fine but when switched on the pedal was very quiet. I started checking component values with a DMM and found a number that were out of tolerance so I replaced those and the circuit seemed to...

This started with an idea to build a kind of two-stage Klon clone with a built in boost in front of it so that I could use the Klon side as a clean boost and then push it into the heavier clipping with the boost. After trying a bunch of different pedals in front of the Kliche mini I found I...

I want to try putting two of the Arche Boosts into one larger enclosure. It should fit physically, but I wanted to ask about how to wire it. I made an MS Paint showing my best guess: + power jack goes to both + on the PCBs - power jack goes to both - on the PCBs Right sleeve (on diagram) goes...

Solution: Capacitor C101 on the 220504 rev should be a 100nF capacitor. I am populating the new 220504 rev of the Informant Overdrive but have an issue with the value of the capacitor at C101. The printing on the pcb looks like it says 100r or a slightly misprinted 100n. The build guide, which...

This is my third PedalPCB build and the first where I didn't have to come to the forums for help. I just plugged it in and it worked! I love the sound of it, it is definitely going to replace the Son of Ben on my pedalboard as my low wattage amp-in-a-box pedal. I think I may swap the knobs for...

Problem: While trying to bias trim pot 1 on a Son of Ben PCB, the desired resistance was not within the trim pot range even with the trim pot at either extreme. Solution: The jumper between the drain of Q1 and the cathode of D100 was not properly attached. I removed the pcb from the case and...

Problem: A solder pad on the Son of Ben PCB came off while installing components. The PCB requires a conducting bridge between the two solder pads when using a single gang potentiometer in the bass pot position. Solution: Bridge the two component holes as shown in the picture below by soldering...

As it says in the title, when I connect my pedal to power I can turn on the right LED but I don't get any sound, bypass or otherwise. The left LED won't turn on at all. This is my first pedal build so any advice on what might be wrong or how to troubleshoot would be appreciated.

I am building a Paragon Mini and I am starting to solder in the components. The paragon mini is a dual pedal with two sides that can work independently. You can convert the pedal to a high gain option by swapping a 1K resistor for a 100K resistor at a specific point in the circuit. I'd like to...
