Oof thanks, i poured over the BOM but i got flustered by the footprint difference. By some miracle i was able to fix it, and now it works great! Thanks for the help guys.

Totally, i figured theres something wrong with the 1st op amp gain stage. But how will i find r5/r6 without an accurate footprint layout? I feel like im just shooting in the dark. I verified that the pots are working, but it feels like its just set to a natural ‘no gain’ setting, like maybe leg...

PCB030. B side fuzz pops up in the store when searched.

So i just finished, i thought, a bside fuzz. But lo, it doesnt work as intended, the trim knob does nothing at all. Passes signal, other functions work, the eq sections and volume work, but it sounds almost exactly like my usual signal and the trim knob does nothing. Very odd cuz i had made one...

Just wanted to share a few rats i made for a couple of friends. I was able to cram a mod in there, my first time doing it (successfully), a SPDT diode mod with Led, none, and bat41 diodes. It was definitely a challenge to cram it all in there, but im pretty pleased with it now and i really do...

Ive heard that transistor matching is important for the bellum, biasing and looking for a lower forward voltage drop? I havent built it, its been sitting in my todo bucket for about a year because my impression is that its a pretty finicky circuit.

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately i only have the heckin chonkin DC jacks, but I also just noticed something... The new pcb layout for the Muriodea is significantly larger. I had very recently helped my friend build a rat PPCB i had ordered like perhaps a year or two ago, he accidentally...

I reaaaallly didnt want to come here with this one.... but im about to pull out my hair. I've f*cked up the drilling on TWO 1590b enclosures now. I've scoured the internet and downloaded at least three 1590b templates, but they all run into different problems by freaking millimeters. Ive...

heh, so you guys were totally right, it was absolutely backwards. Fixed that, popped new IC and LEDs in it and its working fine. Dont solder at 2am I guess :unsure: But Bretts help there was still super valuable to me and I hope others, I got (many) pedals that ive bungled through the years...

Holy smokes, thank you so much for that! It makes a ton of sense, thanks for the clear and concise reply. I'll tackle this first thing tomorrow morning with fresh eyes. I think building an audio probe too will help me understand some more circuit concepts. I have another pedal, a portly provoker...

Hey gang, I think I need some help with this run of LGSM I just finished. After a long haitus of the hobby, I finished three I had started months ago. Two worked, one with a lot of fanaglling, but the third... The third had one pot that had lugs, and i forgot to heatshrink those lugs. When I...

As a live engineer, i have trouble understanding why youd want a crossover on a pedal? I could maybe imagine a really over the top guitar rig with a 2/3 way speaker split, but most amps connected to those cab configurations already include the necessary ‘crossover’ points. Mostly external...

Digital reverb is just complicated delay algorithms, so i have to pitch my vote up the ladder. I find a simple slapback to be more usable than a reverb tank, mostly because im kind of sick of the reverb drenched garage rock sound from a fender tank, and there’s precious few reverb pedals that I...

I really thought that the Parenthesis would blow my top off… its ok? It makes anything go ‘CHUNNG’ and thats what i wanted, but I feel like the (stock) diode options aren’t doing much for me really. Part of that is that my regular bass/guitar rig is a Traynor TS140, which isnt a great ‘pedal...

Ive noticed that if i save up for a big a$$ order from tayda, the DHL shipping is about as much as any other, longer option to the US. It seemed like weight was the deciding factor, but its been a few months since ive put any orders in in general… its been getting harder and harder to source...

Schrodinger's Irish Spring box. Which LDR is inside? Wont know till ya open it! Thanks for the heads up (y)

+1 to the Thumbsucker, Green Russian, Dirt Transmitter, Parentheses, Bit Crusher and 2 sticks of derm. Cant forget a Rat with either a bass toggle switch or just lower the input cap i think. Honorable mention to the Unison Double Tracker for modulation. Gonna try a fuzzwar and fender blender...

I would absolutely recommend the Thumbsucker for Bass, or guitar of course, but man is it great! It’s totally transparent to my ears, it just compresses, and I love the way it does it! It feels like a nice ‘opto’ compression, used green LEDs of course, but it’s super versatile and functional...

Not to hijack the thread topic, but hows Effects Layouts, any other suggestions for PCBs from them? Obviously this is home base, but I ordered a ‘portly provoker’ cuz i wanna expand some horizons and all the part counts seem to be low, plus i have one more 1590b to fill somehow. I like the idea...

Ive been using Affinity Design and its been super useful and pretty intuitive even though i have no idea what im doing. Havent tried Inkscape, but 30 minutes with GIMP was enough to send me elsewhere!
