Lots of fixes released last week: https://www.kicad.org/blog/2024/03/KiCad-8.0.1-Release/ Changelog General Fix custom font rendering issue. #11463 Improve custom font rendering performance. #16568 Update properties panel to use select language. #16589 Make double click open object properties...

I’m going to use this thread to document the design, production, and results of this project. I approached some old friends who’ve been playing since the 90s in a Chicago punk rock band the Bollweevils. https://chicagoreader.com/music/the-bollweevils-pop-punk/...

Here’s what I’m building- dual Bootleg and Glory Hole with order switcher. I tested them both prior to assembly without LEDs in the test platform and they both sounded great. Now I put them all together and I’m getting switch pops on both and crazy noise from the BL I took them both out...

All’s well that ends well. The build went fine, no problems. I snipped pin 6 of the 8083 like others mentioned and it sounds great. Love the options of sine, triangle, and the super choppy square wave. I did replace the 220n cap with a 470n to shift the speed range down to a nice slow and...

I let my daughter do as much as she could without my help and she did a great job. We had fun and it was a lot simpler than I realized it was going to be. She got a bit carried away with the Goop but that’s half the fun :) She gives it 10 stars out of 5. Tomorrow we’ll try to put a demo up and...

I hacked my current rat board with the Split n Blend circuit, and it worked great. So I'm basically just wrapping what I have with the SnB. I'm wondering if I should alter this section any because of it, or leave it be Here's the pcb layout. I should make the J201 footprints compatible...

If I wanted to incorporate the Split n' Blend with a Rat circuit, do I need both input caps and resistors? Typical RAT: Split n' Blend: Can I just do this like it would be if I used the SnB board, or can I eliminate anything? Or would I be better off putting the blend knob before the 5458?

I’ll copy what I wrote in my IG post: A couple of Big Muff pedals for the band. As a huge inspiration to me for decades and in essence a part of me, I just felt like doing something in return. These are headed out to SF today and I hope they enjoy them as much as I loved building them. Salt...

https://www.amplifiedparts.com/tech-articles/fuzz-face-bias-calculator This seems pretty cool. “Happy #FuzzFriday! We just posted a Fuzz Face bias calculator to the tech articles section of our website. The calculator works for silicon and germanium transistors (or a combination), and any...

Yes, another diode thread. Here's a generic set up for some clipping options you find in a lot of circuits. You have your LED, Si, Ge, Sch options, right. When you serialize the diodes like in 'C', the Vf is a sum of the two, so does it make sense to just use a diode that is equal to that sum...

Once I got the awesome purple handmade and powder coated enclosure from @steviejr92 , I knew I had the perfect board for it. I’ve been practicing layouts with KiCad, trying to improve and learn how to best run traces and situate components. One of the earliest ones I worked on was a simple fuzz...

Put together the CC Deluxe this evening and have a question about my voltage readings. I started with the 39r on the input, and was only getting about 6.5v so I dropped it to a 22r and then a 15r and I’m getting just under 16v. Power supply is a CIOKS7 IC3 8: +8.4 5: -7.6 IC2 8: +15.8 4...

Does anyone know how to panelize for production with JLCPCB? I’d like to do some breakout boards and combos like these guys. Seems like it would save a few bucks here and there by combing smaller boards together.

This would be a great place to share our libraries. I started a GitHub repo here: https://github.com/KennyRedman/KiCad

I was approached by a local guitarist who wanted a Slow Gear with momentary relay bypass. It would've been easy to use the Procrastinator but I already had AionFX's board on hand. Since Aion's breakout boards have the power/in/out components on that board, I had to figure out what they were and...

I haven’t made a build report for a long time and am really happy with this one. I’ve been wanting to build it for a while, and when a friend asked for one to put in his board, I jumped on it. Everything went together quite smoothly, all my holes lined up with the faceplate, and it fired right...

I’m wanting to use the Intelligent Relay Bypass in this AionFX Onyx and I think I have a plan but I’d like to get some other eyes on it. His breakout board has the three areas for in, out, and power and I assume it’s just a matter of wiring those up where I’ve drawn them here: Here’s his...
