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!

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...

I was only able to find one DIY schematic and layout for this pedal and it shows 1N4148's as the only diodes used in this pedal. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate? It just seems too cheap to be true lol The reason I'm asking is I'm getting ready to build 2 kliche minis and as usual I'm...

This thing is pretty great! Curious what's going on in terms of clipping in the middle position of the right toggle switch. Up is obviously traditional symmetrical TS style clipping with some of the clean signal blended in. All the way down definitely inserts the red clipping LEDs. That...

https://catalinbread.com/products/knight-school-fuzz Is this a new venture for them or has this been around for a bit? I've been wondering why more companies aren't doing this given the relatively easy money to be made and also the wide availability of their circuits on the web with no way...

@Robert are you able to share this information? I've been thinking about going this route for my builds because I love your top jack faceplates, which I'll keep buying, I'm just interested in faceplates for tops of pedals like what AmplifyFun makes, but their website has no links or anything...

I understand it's a BE-OD/Dirty Shirley hybrid, but in what way? Does it have all the gain of the BE, but with the added mid control of the DS, sans external presence and right controls? Does it go DOWN into DS levels of gain or is it balls to the wall like the BE? I've built a Thermionic and...

I've been thinking about building this one, but I don't always like toggle switches on the outside of the pedal, especially if it's already a 6 knob build. This build has a toggle switch for the gain structure that I'd like to keep internal. What are my options here? Can a mini slide switch...

I've been using a Paragon (KoT) that I built from a StewMac kit for almost a year now and recently it started having issues. It works perfectly - until I hit a big chord and then it does until I bypass it and turn it back on. If I pick lightly everything is golden, it's only when I hit the...

So I bought a Fender Blues Deluxe recently to have a simple clean pedal platform compared to my usual Marshall stuff. I'm sure many of you know about the volume on these being very touch to the point of its either off or super loud right away. The fix for years on these and the HRD's has been...

Am missing something or does PPCB not offer a Purple Plexi board? Seems like all the best Lovepedal stuff is there just can't find this one and wondering if it's maybe under a snarky name I don't recognize. Thanks guys!

As the title states. Will Tayda UV print over their pre-drilled, pre-powder coated enclsoures or do you have to order a plain, undrlled enclosure and then also order drilling and powdercoating? Just wondering before I invest a lot of time into learning the process with Illustrator. Thanks guys!

I'm not really a fan of drilling enclosures and have been looking for a tremolo to build that I can use a Tayda pre-drilled with. The Moonshot tremolo fits the bill as long as I omit the rate LED. I'm assuming it's fine, but just double checking that doing this wouldn't disrupt the circuit...

So I've built both a Van Pelt Drive and a Thermionic distortion. I put them on the Auditorium test board yesterday and discovered something new to me (there's lots new to me, I'm fairly new to this still). I tired the Van Pelt first and thought it sounded great. Then I tried the Thermionic -...

On a few occasions I've come across people here saying a board had a bad trace and only once jumping that component to the next one did it work. Is this a result of a faulty board from the factory or something the user caused? How do you find them? Only by audio/continuity probing? How...

I have a very amateur question regarding something I recall reading in passing a while back concerning paint + rough edges inside of enclosures. I recall reading that when you have for example a pre-drilled and powder coat painted enclosure from Tayda that the little bit of paint residue and...

I've read through every thread on the Caesar I could find and this specific issue never seemed to get mentioned to this degree so I'll ask. Also, I know posting pics of the board is standard procedure, but I'm at work right now so I'll have to do that later. I was hoping that maybe the symptom...

I built an XC Phase and it's working great. The phasing is nice and working as intended, the switches are working as intended as well. There's just 2 things that MIGHT be an issue, but I couldn't tell you if they're normal behavior to begin with. I just did a quick test/trim pot tuning...

I'm building a Van Pelt drive and it calls for a 90k9 resistor. I can't find those on Tayda, but they have 91k. I'm pretty sure I already know the answer that this is a stupidly small difference of 0.1k resistance to worry about especially with tolerances being what they are, but I'm just...

Im still pretty new and learning some of these tricks, so thanks for your patience! I'm building an Uber Drive which calls for 2 2sc732 transistors, but i had to sub for 2 2n5089's. The base and collector are swapped for these 2 transistors so basically on the 2n5089 I have to swap legs 2 and...
