Having trouble deciding if the dot on the right or the u-shaped divot on the left is the top 1st pin side of this IC. Any ideas?

Hi all, I have quick questions: 1. Is there a good alternative to a 68k resistor? I forgot to buy them. 2. Also, the circuit instructions call for a 470p cap, but don't specify electrolytic or film. Does it matter? I have electrolytic (a brown disc) not a film box. The circuitboard printing...

Does PedalPCB have a feedbacker circuit? Something like the FreqOut or Boss’s Super Feedbacker + Distortion? mid love to build one if anyone knows where I could find a pcb. I’m not good enough yet to build a veroboard or design my own. Thanks!

Is there somewhere to source small amounts of hook-up wire in unusual colors (i.e. not red, white, green, blue, black, yellow) But like orange, pink, purple, light blue? I only need enough for a few projects at a time—don't want to pay for big reels. Also, I find that solid wire is so much...

I just finished up putting this in the enclosure and—bummer, it doesn’t work. I get full guitar sound in bypass, but barely any sound when engaged. Just very faint (and doesn't sound distorted.) The build is actually an Aion Electronics Muff—PedalPCB version was sold out. It allows for either...

I'm building an op-amp Big Muff. I forgot to include 1/8 or 1/4W 220K resistors in a recent order. I do have some 1W—they are huge, but I can fit them in the circuit. Is it ok to use them? Thanks!

I'm building a circuit that calls for 1uF film caps. The circuit is marked with +/- polarity, but I thought film caps don't have polarity. Is that true? Thanks!

I'm curious if anyone has built (or if there's a PCB for) something similar to the "havoc" switch on the Caroline Meteore or the "feedback" switch on the Solidgold Counter Current? I'd love to build a clean reverb that I can force into lo-fi feedback in some way. Thoughts?

What are your favorite tight high gain pcbs you’ve built?

I want to build an op-amp Big Muff next. Has anyone built both the PedalPCB Dream Fuzz and the Aion Corvus? Any thoughts? Are they identical?

If I want to socket two diodes in the Parentheses Mini Fuzz, what kind of socket should I buy? Considering using a set of 1n60p Schottkys instead of the Ge diodes here. Thanks!

My eighth build, the fifth from PedalPCB. Sounds amazing. Here's a sample. I changed the name to the Halogen Wolf Decay Delay. Part of the fun for me in building pedals is naming and creating graphics. The build went smoothly. I made a few small mods to the pedal. I added the Gain trimmer as a...

One of the through-board pads on a pcb I’m working on accidentally filled with solder, with no component in it. Now I can’t get the solder out. I’ve tried to clean the solder out of it with both a desoldering braid and pump, but I just can’t get a clean hole to reappear. I’ve also tried...

The Magnetron works well and sounds amazing. But it seems like something's not quite right. Maybe I got a component or resistor wrong? I have to max out the Level pot for the wet repeats to be loud enough, and even then they're slightly quieter than the dry guitar signal. If I set the level...

I’m trying to fix an old battery connection, but somehow old crusty battery acid fused the solder onto the power lugs. I’ve tried to use desoldering braid but it won’t melt, and vinegar doesn’t remove it either. The dried blue-green battery acid + solder has hardened and fused over the holes of...

I love all the PedalPCB circuits I've built. They're fantastic, and the downloads are extremely clear. One thought for future development. Would you consider including a brief history of each circuit as well as why any changes were made? I realize this would be a huge project given the number...

I built a Rat (Muroidea) and I totally love it. But I’m wondering if there’s a way to get even more gain out of it? Like, insane amounts of gain? Basically I’d like current max to be at 1 or 2 o’clock. “This one goes to 11” kind of thing. An ultra-rat or king rat. I’m new to pedal building so...

What's the most interesting, sludgiest, or deepest fuzz PCB you've built from PedalPCB? I've already built the Algal Bloom (Plecostomus) clone and the Musket Clone (Blunderbuss), both of which are great. I've also built a Tone Bender MKII from Aion. I own a Zvex Mastotron and a SolidgoldFX...

I'm building a RAT clone. The schematic calls out two 3 mm LEDs on the board itself at D8 and D9 (not as indicators on the enclosure.) Is that right?

If I wanted to add an internal trimpot to the face of pedal (instead of inside enclosure) is it just a matter of drilling the case and inserting a pot of the same value to the underside of the board? In this case, schematic calls for 100k trimpot. Could I use an A100K pot instead?
