As mentioned in the Wrecking Ball thread, now it is really finished. I went back and forth a with a few different resistor and cap values and went back to stock except for R15 for a better presence control. I bought the kit at musikding and a glow in the dark enclosure at Tayda. It took a while...

Hi lovers of the computer aided pcb design, let me tell you to never deactivate the nagging thermal relief check in Kicad!! You notice that the two GND pads only have a connection to the small area of the GND plane. I thought that Kicad tells me that there is no connection to the GND...

I finished my first bigger boardless ptp project and noticed that as much as I plan with a drawing in inkscape it turns out ugly. Either it‘s the wrong size of a part or the impatience (for many reasons) or a wrong connection that needs to be fixed. What is you recommendation for ptp builds...

Hi guys, I made a pcb for a phaser based on Whetstone/Redshift/Kezuroukai24 and of course it is not working. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/redshift_documentation.pdf https://madbeanpedals.com/projects/_folders/FilterMod/pdf/Kezuroukai24.pdf My schematic is attached. It's the Aion Redshift...

Hi guys, I play my bass in the living room with a EBS Preamp/Headphone Microbass and I wanted something similar for the Guitar. Just using what I have is not DIY :-) It's a box with a - Baja Reactor - Omnicab - Stereo Headphone amp with Aux-In and an additional mono out to drive a cab in case...

Hi guys, can anyone explain why the Aion Redshift needs the pwr_gnd around the IC3A in the LFO section (if that's it) ? https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/redshift_documentation.pdf Madbean uses one gnd for everything on his version Kezuroukai the...

Hi guys, this is a transistor switch for comparing up to four transistors. Every transistor has a switchable bias trimpot and there is a terminal for dmm probes. I hope this makes sense. I used it a few times but the bias fiddling is crazy. Remove the .txt at the end then you have a zip file...

Hi everyone, I finished a GCI Gorilla Glasses and it seems to have no audible effect to turn the Clip pot. I can't hear any difference. On an oscilloscope it make more difference to cough at the gain pot than to turn the clip pot. The pot is fine and changing resistance up to 5k. The dmm shows...

Hello fellow flux fume sniffers, is there a rule on when it's ok to use J113 instead of J201? I did build a few Pedals where I substituted the J113 and they were fine. The Desolate Fuzz does not work with them. I measured both J113. VG off -1,87V at ID 5uA VG on -1,01V at ID 5mA gfs 10,4mA/V...

Hi there, can anyone explain the purpose of the vactrol in this circuit? Is it just for the bypass? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hw0JzsKDqhu4u8Q1LXFpuT3oaby-f_XB/view

The chalumeau of the guitar world. I made an attempt to make the pedal switchable without the fuzz. I was only partially successful. I may have to solder a pull-down resistor to the input, I think I read about it somewhere. Pin 1 and 8 of LM386 have been bent up/broken off and are connected via...

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask the collective intelligence in here to help me with a pedal. On FSB there is a new Baja Reactor V5 which I put in a combo pedal consisting of Reactor, Unicab and a Headphone amp. https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?p=300036#p300036 The reactor is causing...

Based on the fine BYOC schematics I built a Mu-Tron Octave Divider. The only thing that bothered me was the bass being low in volume. In this forum I found the R16/17 mod. Other than that the stock values are just fine (in my opinion). Because of the squeezed parts one knob is almost touching...

Hi everyone, let's assume you have a dense pcb and the traces from the input or output of the circuit is for many reasons very far away from the area of the pcb that's near to the switch. Would you solder the wire directly into the pcb? Maybe that's why combo pedals suck? :) I mean the traces...

For my bass I use a EBS Micro 3 when I sit on the couch in the evening and I wanted something similar for my guitar. But the ideas are endless and there are so many dirtboxes out there. I built a Mofeta a few weeks ago and was pleased with it so I decided to do this couch project now. Maybe...

Would it be a good idea to cascade the two channels instead of having them in parallel or am I missing some important point not to do it?

Can anyone tell me which manufacturer is behind the printing "wk46" on a j111 transistor?

Hello fellow lovers of the seed, this is not a question but an recommendation: for the love of the almighty get an ST-Link adaptor. I forgot about how dumb it is to always push buttons when using the standard USB jack for the programming. Then I remembered that I had this STLINK MINIE3 which...

Hello everyone, I assembled a Low Tide and now there is no wet signal. The last point where I can hear with the audioprobe is at R8 and then the clean again at the Mix pot. Voltage file attached that I happily stole from another thread... Measured with Rate Max Gate 12:00 Slew Min Mix Max...

I already have the Arcadiator from Parasit Studio, the Sonic Reducer, Multiwave Mega, Raygun Youth, Theremin Fuzz and the Subspace Transmission. Each of these is unique and so is the 1985. The one pedal in a long time that makes me search for stickers to cover holes… Unfortunately I was under...
