    Bulk buying components

    I know you don't wanna buy on a PCB by PCB basis, but unless your intention is to start breadboarding immediately and making your own designs I would stick to ordering what's required for the pcbs you have or are intending to buy. If you're at the "making my own designs out of parts that I...

    Newbie question about making a diode selector

    Thank you for that! My intention was to leave D1 the same at all times, in this case a blue diode. I already have sockets soldered to the board so I dont need to remove any diodes. I've been experimenting with different convos of LEDs and diodes and you're right. For example a BAT46 in D2...

    Newbie question about making a diode selector

    I wanna try adding a diode selector switch to D2 of an Appetizer PCB using a SPDT because that's all I have extras of right now. Pretend I know NOTHING (it's not much of a stretch lol). How would I wire this and then connect it to D2? Thanks!

    SOLVED Acetylene no sound, but boost works?!?

    Glad it was a simple one! I'm dozens of builds in and recently did the same thing with some LEDs. I also recently installed a toggle switch on the component side of the board and when I soldered the last pad in my entire house heard "you gotta be f***in kiddin me!" :ROFLMAO:

    SOLVED Acetylene no sound, but boost works?!?

    Possibly the socketed resistors? Could be seeing things incorrectly here, but does the red LED next to Q have the cathode facing the transistor? Because it should be the anode facing the transistor and from the pic it looks like the side facing Q is flat. I'm no expert, but those are 2...

    Doxie 4.7v zener diode

    Just noticed the Doxie calls for a 4v7 zener in D7, which I forgot to order. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I could sub something close enough without running the sound or function of the stock pedal. I have available: 1N5234B 6.2v 1N4001 1N5817 1N5227B 3.6v 1N5239B 9.1v 1N5223...

    Charge Pump Noise - Pedal Order Dependent

    Sorry it took me so long to get around to this. There is NO whining noise when pairing the Sheriff and Kraken.

    Charge Pump Noise - Pedal Order Dependent

    Yeah I have a few of those cables as well, but you definitely should NOT plug 18v into the Kliche family of pedals or the Victory V1 family of pedals because they all utilize a charge pump

    Charge Pump Noise - Pedal Order Dependent

    Good question, I'll try over the next few days and report back. Not sure if you meant me or the OP, but yes my 2 power supplies are isolated. A Voodoolab Pedal Power 2 Plus and a Friedman Power Grid

    Charge Pump Noise - Pedal Order Dependent

    I've built all the Victory V1 pedals except the Jack. I can confirm that this happens when using the Kliche Mini with the Kraken and the Sheriff, but doesn't happen with The Dutchess or the Copper.

    Capacitor Sourcing in 2024

    Both Tayda's tantalums and electrolytics are fine. For tantalum pretty much whatever (the choices aren't many), but for electrolytics get Panasonic, Nichicon, or any other "-cons" and you'll be fine. I also tend to avoid generic ones, but the Aion FX page you're referencing is definitely a...

    SOLVED Thermionic - GAIN seems wide open?

    Besides all the component salad happening in there, could it just be that you're running it super high gain to begin with? That could cause little to no audible variation in the gain of this pedal. It looks like your trimmer is set all the way to the right, that's MAX gain. The stock...

    Tayda Electronics - Have you got photos of these colours? Brown Sugar, Black Sand Texture, Grey Sand Texture

    Wow that's nice. I'm glad it's not as dark as the Tayda picture shows it

    Friedman Pedals - a circuit comparison

    I've built basically the essential lineup of these now. Several thermionics, several complexes, a little Debbie, and a golden pearl. I'm about to finish up a few more thermionics and another little Debbie and it got me thinking. Is there any value (no pun intended) in socketing the LEDs? Are...
