    Genuine parts source- ICL8038 and BC560

    Finished up my parts orders and still have 2 parts that I can’t find in the normal places ICL8038 - (Vibrobot) Jameco and EBay? Chances of either of those being real vs fake? BC560 - found the (5) BC550 for the Byzantium Flanger, but the 1 BC560 seems elusive. Chances I’ll actually get...

    Power jack quick disconnect options

    I currently use the type of connector below. Unfortunately, you can’t remove it without unsoldering, which often destroys the plug. As I have most of my pedals unlabeled, waiting to get a few more done to maximize use of the sheets. As such I’m likely going to have to remove everything to...

    “Secret code” on Covert overdrive? Or nothing at all!

    So looking at the Covert Overdrive board, I see a sequence of numbers/letters between the 4PDT pads. This something we are to try and decode? Or simply a lot number etc?

    BC549B vs BC549C

    I’m seeing the Kudzu uses BC549B as buffer transistors, and the Mystery Machine uses BC549C In my lack of attention to detail, I bought a bunch of BC549C, and no BC549B. I know I can use the C in the Kidzu, but will it net any unexpected result? I know they are cheap enough, but I’d hate to...

    Not sure if this is the right section to mention it, but I Just built the face melter, and when I went to put it in the case that I drilled as per the build document, I had to attach flying leads to the indicator LED as the document template has the LED close to the switch, but the pads on the...

    SOLVED Sproing Deluxe tremolo stops at high speed.

    Just completed the Sproing deluxe using the BOM as listed here. The only thing I did out of the ordinary is using a green led for the 5mm indicator (but did use the 3mm red for the vactrol) At lower speeds it works fine, then slightly above halfway when the speed gets to 9 on the dial (fender...

    Has anyone modded a Nobleman for bass guitar?

    I’ve been thinking, and have a nobleman board that I am going to build out shortly. I found the nobels odr1 to be perfect for adding some hair and depth to my bass guitar. One complaint though is that the spectrum knob seems to be centered on 6string. As such I’m thinking of doubling the cap...

    SOLVED Possible Mahayana board problem

    Built the Mahayana yesterday and the first thing I noticed was that it seemed very low gain- like I would have to crank the drive and voice, and even at that was lower gain (but with a lot more output) than the zen in my Helix. So first thing I did was checked all diodes for polarity. Correct...
