Hi - Just ordered the Trojan Horse PCB. Wanted to start working on a waterslide decal for it while I'm waiting for the PCB to come in. It looks like this toggle switch goes Up/Middle/Down compared to the VFE Dark Horse that goes Left/Middle/Right. Can someone clarify what each position is...

I wanted to be able to change the channels/voicing on my Blackstar HT Club 50 amp via MIDI. I know there are probably some "pre-built" solutions out there, but figured I would try to roll my own. The amp has two channels (Clean and OD), and each channel has 2 separate voicings. In examining...

Just finished up my Black Hole build from Coda Effects. Man, this thing is a MONSTER! It can certainly do the crunchy lower gain OD, but this thing just wants to have the knobs cranked on a loud amp. Really happy with it! Also thanks to @phi1 for helping me with a few questions along the way!

Working on the Coda Effects black hole. I have to wire a DPDT switch up to it. On the front of the circuit board, the top left hole is a square pad. On the back, you can see a (+) between the two middle pads. The build docs...

Just finished up my Chop Shop build. This was my second build but not without it's problems! I only could find SMD JFET's so I had to solder those to some breakout boards - first time doing anything with SMD. It was pretty challenging but with a tweezers and a very fine soldering tip I was...

I ordered some SMD J201's for use in the Chop Shop project. In order to make it work on the PCB I got some SMD adapter boards...never soldered SMD but I'm sure it'll be a fun one :LOL: The question I had was on the layout - the breakout board has pins labeled D, S, and G (Drain, Source, Gate)...

With some help from the forums, I was able to successfully complete my first DIY pedal! I did the "Cross Contaminator" PCB, which is based off of the Earthquaker Devices Dirt Transmitter. I actually made two, one for my dad and one for me. I can probably clean up my wiring a little better in...

Hi all - I'm ordering parts for my next build - the Coda Effects Black Hole. I'm having a hard time finding a particular part. This build calls for a "DPDT Switch On-off", PCB mounted. I tried all the big ones (Digikey, Tayda, Mouser, etc.) and the only "on-off" one I could find was on...

Hi all - I'm going to start on my first veroboard project - an EQD Black Ash clone - https://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2020/03/earthquaker-devices-black-ash.html?m=1 Would have preferred a PCB from here but looks like this one doesn't exist yet! I've done PedalPCB builds before but not...

I purchased the following pots from Tayda for use in an enclosure for a PCB I'm building: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/p-100k-ohm-logarithmic-taper-potentiometer-round-shaft-pc-mount.html If you look at the picture, you can see that there is a little metal tab that sticks up. There...

Hi all - I just ordered some parts for the "Cross Contaminator" build. I have all the components and just waiting on the PCB's in the mail. I'm familiar with soldering but not so much with reading PCB layouts. I figured most of it out with some searches and the WIKI, but have a few quick...
