Have you guys ever seen or heard of the CD2399? I bought a Rowin LEF-303 “Ana Echo”. It’s marketed as an analog delay. I used to have a Mooer Ana Echo, which was indeed a BBD delay, supposedly a clone of the Boss DM-2. Sounded close enough for my purposes anyway. Foolishly I sold it, and they...

Using the parametric search function on DigiKey or Mouser, I always look for highest wattage in 1/8W size. All the common E6/E12 values, and even some wacky values, I can generally find in 1/3, 0.4, or even 1/2 watt rating. I think I’ve even snagged a few 0.6W resistors in the smaller size. Not...

@Chuck D. Bones - the way the first opamp stage of the stock Dark Esbat/Spark Boost is wired: as you said, it's a filter. But does it also act as a "boostrap"? I.e., a way to increase the input impedance?

FWIW, I didn't experiment with different clipping diodes in Chuck's modified Dark Esbat, but I did socket the clipping diodes in my Ember Boost build. (The Ember Boost/TCE Spark Booster is essentially the same circuit as the stock Dark Esbat/BCC TI Boost.) I experimented with LEDs, fewer...

Here's my recent build of the Angry Charles, based on the JHS Angry Charlie v3. I wanted a higher-gain MIAB-type sound, as I've been working on learning some Iron Maiden tunes. I'm not looking to duplicate that tone exactly, but just do a reasonable approximation. I don't really have any...

@bean did something sorta similar with the Aquababy: the three solder points for one of the pots are bordered by the NE571 IC socket. Good use of precious board space IMO!

Are those aluminum polymer caps?

For your next build, we won’t accept anything less than a titanium enclosure.

Impressive! I think this is the first time I’ve seen two PedalPCB boards in a 125B.

My latest overdrive obsession is the Way Huge Saucy Box. The Effects Layouts Spice Runner was my gateway drug. I liked it so much, I quickly whipped up a custom PCB for the circuit, calling it the "Gigantic Sauce Container". That design was notable in that it was my first time using a...

I just ordered a second 40-pack of these: Edenseelake 40 Pack 7x5x5 inches Shipping Boxes Small Cardboard Boxes, Brown. For standard 125B pedals (or smaller), 7x5x5 (inches) seems to be big enough for a just-right amount of packing material. If you only need one, it's probably not worth buying...

Did you hand-draw the vacuum tube for your enclosure artwork? Or do you do like me, and just grab random clip art off the net? If the latter, I used a very similar-looking tube in one of my builds.

That looks absolutely fantastic! I try to clean all the flux off my boards after I'm done soldering, but they still don't look half as neat as @MichaelW's builds (or, frankly, most of the other builder around here). If he had to bend the pot legs to make them fit into an enclosure, then that's...

This is a prototype 3-in-1 build for a client (my one and only client). When he engaged me for the phaser build, he was also asking about fitting three circuits into a single enclosure. Ideally he wanted all three in a 125B enclosure, but we settled on a 1590BBS. He's a fan of my soft-touch...

Here's my second build, using the BLMS limited run enclosure. I think it looks significantly better.

You mean a Burr-Brownish flavor?

Looks great! Have you by chance measured the current draw with either and both channels on? I’m curious how much current the optical bypass requires.

@disssa - the last picture in your first post shows the "innie" DC jack soldered to wires, which are in turn soldered to the PCB. I'm guessing you had to un-solder something and re-solder during final assembly? Great looking build and PCB!

Thanks! The Cast Iron is indeed a Timmy with an active mid control. But the MT-10 Mostortion (aka Misfit/Oxide/Quantum) isn't really a Timmy derivative. At a general/very high level, they are all diodes in an opamp feedback loop clippers, but take a different approach to tone control. The...

I reviewed my order history, looks like I only ever had a single 3260. That was from Mouser, back in 2020, part number 968-CA3260EZ (this link might work). But Mouser now shows that as "Restricted Availability: Mouser does not presently sell this product in your region." (My region is...
