Am I over spec'ing this DPDT switch for my 5F6a power transformer? I am wiring my guitar amp power transformer to handle both 120v and 220v. It has a universal voltage primary to do this. Is this DPDT overkill at 17A 125VAC, 12A 250VAC...

I need details. Looks amazing. What is it... Power Amp?

This pedal was a nice easy build. The biggest challenge was getting the loop working correctly. Thankfully, I had left over shorting jacks from my first amp build. I used one Switchcraft Type 12A and one Switchcraft Type 11. As for the sound of the pedal, I can see how it may help if you have a...

Just finished the send/return on my Skeptical Buffer and wanted to share for anyone wanting to add one to their build. I had success with (1) Switchcraft Shunt jack and (1) Switchcraft Mono jack. The Shunt jack let's you connect to the other side all the time. Unplugged, the shunt jack shunt...

I am about to drill a small booster pedal. I can't decide either 1590B or 1590G. I originally decided on the G but got the B for more space since it is so tight. B would give more space and I can have a 9v battery. But the G is smaller and I don't really use the 9v batteries in my pedals...

Anyone got a source for good fitting 2.1mm plugs? I made my own 9V battery adapter for bench testing using some Tayda dc plugs. Unfortunately, they don't make proper contact with my pedal dc jacks.

This is cool. It is an automatic temperature control that puts the Germ Transistor to a specific operating temperature. The effect is more consistent sonic results. I have heard of another system like this in a different fuzz.

I am in the middle of designing my BluesBreaker and curious where is everyone sending there files to get pcb boards fabbed. My design is currently mapped out in Kicad.

Does anyone know what these capacitors are called or where to source them? I am making a bluesbreaker pcb and I am very curious about where Marshall even got these in 2022. The value is 10pF and I believe it is film. Other boards use a poly film in place of it. The tolerance is 5% so maybe...

About to start my klone build (tonegeek one). How many permanently installed their "magic" diodes? I am considering putting pins to hot swap them in the future.

I just completed assembly of a tonegeek ts10 (valvescreamer 10). I have no sound and I am trying to trouble shoot. My LED worked until I did something and now I get no lights. Is there a specific guide/post to check out here? Where should I start? (Update: My LED does work.. I was alligator...

Anyone have any good sources to get some 1N270 germ diodes? Been looking around and haven't able to find any. Also is the NTE109 a viable replacement? https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nte-electronics-inc/NTE109-5/11648265...

How is everyone designing PCBs to work with the standard holes in the drill templates? Currently, using Kicad to design and wondering about the pcb layout. I couldn't find any thread discussing this.

Anyone interested in a 125B Chameleon powder coat group buy? (is General Questions the the proper place for this?) I bought a Gorva C65 (125B) Chameleon enclosure and it does not fit the board it was intended to. (it will be repurposed for another pedal) Just in the planning stages now. No...

Which switches should I purchase for PCBs?

I have an idea for combining the headphone pedalpcb board with a TPA3118 (or two). I use a Dream 65 which can use headphones with a y-splitter for stereo but I can't hook it up to my speaker cab (non powered). Currently, thinking of creating a headphone amp that splits the signal to a power...
