I had no idea this was a thing. Thank you for sharing. And gold foil??? Another DIY pedal rabbit hole to go down…

That’s what I see. Possibly the output jack as well.

This might have been suggested already, but couldn’t the title be changed to What’s on Robert’s Workbench? or something similar? I also acknowledge kicking people out of the thread is part of the fun.

Hello all, recently I've been pondering and laying out a DIY option for a junction box with some fun twists. It would be designed to go under the board and act as the central hub for signal routing. Signal flow as follows: 1. Passive In/Out (For Fuzzes) 2. Buffered In/Out (probably going to...

Just wrapped up a Klone, using Bat41s. Overall sounds great. For the artwork, I wanted to make another in the same style as my first pedal build, an Archer Clean (Kliche Boost) clone I called the Seraphim. A biblically accurate Cherubim was the logical choice. Happy with how it turned out, and...

UV templates are complex enough to me that I would be hesitant to not use a computer to make them. My suggestion would be to get creative with manual artwork. A lot of folks have made some beautiful pedals with spray paint and paint markers.

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

Working through my queue of pedals and a Morning Glory clone is up next. I’m a little underwhelmed with this one. I mainly play worship so I’m sure it’ll be very useful. I was just hoping for a touch more gain on tap. I might try the Parthenon PCB if I do another Bluesbreaker circuit. I forgot...

Whatever I was expecting, it wasn’t that. WOW!

That matte enclosure looks like it belongs on “Is it Cake?” If you would have used white cupcake knobs it would have looked downright appetizing. How are you applying your text?

Thanks so much. I’ve had a lot of fun learning. I’ve never been an artsy person but have surprised myself how much I’ve enjoyed working on the graphics/theming side of it.

Could have also changed out “GAIN” for a picture of this guy. Also, “Tucobolt” comes to mind…

Yes, waterslide! I used Microsol and Microset, but after a few coats of spray acrylic I can’t tell if it made a difference. A Fistful of Tacos! That is hilarious! What a great name!

I very much appreciate the thoughtful response. I used a conical early on but have since switched to a chisel tip and have enjoyed using it. I’ll have to try higher heat. Makes sense that a combination of surface area contact and heat can help concentrate the energy in one place. Also makes...

I cannot seem to figure out how to avoid burning/melting insulation when off board wiring, and you get it right up to the joint! Always impressed with your builds!

EXACTLY

This pedal build has taken me on a journey. The evidence of this is littered all over this board like a tumbleweed in the wild west. Starting with asking Robert a question about biasing on the Taqueria thread, to figuring out how to rig up an RGB LED to the gain toggle, to troubleshooting the...

Thank you for your help!

I took another stab at the schematic in an attempt to practice KiCad and improve my general understanding of schematic layouts. Any better?

Came across this little technique for soldering legs to JFET adapters and thought it worked so well I’d share. Essentially, it’s just inserting 1cm pieces of stripped wire into sockets to hold them in place, then using helping hands to solder them in. I use 22g wire, which fits very snugly...
