    Reverb Preferences

    Alas, I’m in Texas, which is about as non-EU as you can get! ;) Thanks for the kind offer, though. 👍 I’ve got a pretty big backlog of other stuff to get through before I could get to this anyway. Perhaps I’ll download the files and stash them away for future. Might also be cool to build just...

    Pro Filter bulid

    Nice! I dig the all-symbols legending. 👍 I have one of these in my to-build pile. Looking forward to it. Glad to hear it plays nice with synths.

    Reverb Preferences

    That one definitely sounds cool based on the description (i.e. clean note attack with the reverb coming in at the end). I haven’t made it to the ‘get my own PCBs made’ phase of DIY, yet. But if somebody did get a batch of these made up, I’d definitely buy a board or two.

    Does anybody make a general purpose reverb driver PCB, along these lines? https://en.moodysounds.com/alla-produkter/byggsatser/bjfe-byggsatser/bjf-universal-reverb-kit/ This one looks cool but it’s full kit only, Swedish, and their American distributor is out of stock. Would be cool to have a...

    True Bypass work?

    Here’s the PPCB one (with the PCB In grounded on bypass). Works, easy to tell what’s going on at a glance. But if you want to reinvent the wheel in a way that makes more sense to you…🤷‍♀️

    Outboard wiring (first project!)

    I think 2 & 3 only need to connect when the effect is in bypass, which grounds the “Board In” in bypass. 3 & 6 need to be connected, but an actual wire between 2 & 3 seems extraneous.

    Sanding (Is) The Pits

    I’ve got a little Ryobi sheet sander. It’s definitely an improvement over hand sanding, but still a fairly long and tedious process. Maybe I need to upgrade to an orbital…🤔 Also, PSA: please try not to wash a bunch of super-fine aluminum dust down your sink. It’s small enough to escape...

    Does anyone may a phaser with a blend control?

    My old BYOC Phase 90 has a Depth control added, but no Mix/Blend. I like to use my JMK Paralyzer https://jmkpcbs.com/product/paralyzer/ for parallel effects chains or to add a clean blend to anything. Maybe this little crossfader utility board would work for adding an in-box Blend...

    Desoldering Advice

    I use braid for most things. Also have a plug-in solder sucker (nothing fancy, just a $30 one from EBay). Being able to heat and suck with one device is definitely easier/more effective for me. **insert “that’s what she said” and rimshots as needed…;) Chip Quik might be overkill for what...

    Low Tide Mini: "Plover Modulator"

    Ground to the case? Are you not using plastic ones?

    WHY DOESN'T MY 9VDC POWER SUPPLY WORK WITH MY PEDALS ?

    Are you using the correct polarity? Most pedal PCBs are expecting Center Negative.

    Low Tide Mini: "Plover Modulator"

    I’ve always used the “outties” too. The argument that they stick out doesn’t make any sense to me when you consider that there’s going to be a power chord and two 1/4” audio cables that stick out even more. 🤷‍♀️

    Should I expect to pay Tariffs on Tayda Orders?

    Tariffs, like sales tax, are regressive and thus will always disproportionately hit the little guys. If, however, you’ve got a spare few million lying around and you want to make a ‘charitable donation’ to someone’s ballroom, then there are probably exemptions to be had…

    Should I expect to pay Tariffs on Tayda Orders?

    Even if something is “made” in the US, doesn’t mean everything it’s made out of also came from the US. For example you could buy enclosures from a US company, but we don’t mine much bauxite here anymore. So the aluminum is probably coming from overseas…

    W-w-w-what would you do? (to plop a foot-switchable toggle into an muff)

    A tone bypass switch will give you a very dramatic change in sound in one switch. You get all the mids back and a big level boost from not going through the passive filters.

    Assuming DOUT and Din (red traces on right side) are at 10ghz, Will emi interfere with electrode inputs on the left?

    EEG? As in electroencephalogram? Unless it’s a brain-controlled Superfuzz (if so, kudos to you, sir!), you’re unlikely to find “professional experts” here…on the DIY guitar fx pedal forum…🤷‍♀️ * On a side note, can somebody help me debug the distorted repeats on my homebrew Defibrillator, or...

    Beginner confused with BOM

    Another reason to buy spares is that a lot of places will give you a pretty significant price break at Qty 10 or 25 vs. 1. Good advice on paying attention to capacitor size. If you don’t want to scrutinize the dimensions of every one, physical size is generally proportional to Voltage rating. I...

    Pedal in a Zyn can?
