    Canadian PCB Manufacturers?

    Not exactly what I'm looking for, but I'll still check them out 😊

    Canadian PCB Manufacturers?

    I don't know... That's why I'm asking 😅

    Canadian PCB Manufacturers?

    No shade to my American neighbors (note the lack of "u" ;)), but with tariffs (and the US dollar), it's getting harder and harder to get things into Canada. Does anyone know of any PCB manufacturers in Canada? It seems like Oshpark is the US go-to, whereas I saw a lot of buzz around JLCPCB out...

    Power Filter Section

    So considering I'm new to this, any pedal I build right now is going to be relatively simple, DC powered, and analogue (for now)... You've explained really well what the diode is for. Thanks for that... What about the capacitors. For example, here are two filtering sections I've seen: In...

    Power Filter Section

    Hello All, As I continue to grow my skills in pedal design, I have a question about the power filtering section. I understand it's importance for protecting the circuit from reverse polarity and reducing noise (...?), however I seem to see a lot of different schematics in the power filtering...

    SOLVED Outboard wiring (first project!)

    Thanks to everyone who helped out here. One of my wires was faulty. I took the whole thing apart and reassembled, taking my time to check at every stage I could. It's finally working!

    SOLVED Outboard wiring (first project!)

    I checked continuity on the pins... 7-8 has no continuity unless the pedal is engaged.

    SOLVED Outboard wiring (first project!)

    I thought they were supposed to be connected. (I followed this diagram)

    Does this help? It's pretty tight in there....

    SOLVED Outboard wiring (first project!)

    Hi gang! So I've built a few kits, but this is my first breadboard-to-perfboard design. I made the rookie mistake of connecting everything before testing the circuit. Bypass works fine, but when the pedal is on, I get no signal. I disassembled all my wiring and tested the circuit with just +...

    From schematic to stripboard: Power Filtering

    Oh... I didn't clue in that it's a DC Jack... It's the negative end of my DC Jack, correct?

    From schematic to stripboard: Power Filtering

    This is very helpful! But what is this in the diagram? I assumed it was an LED... It's not a symbol I'm familiar with...

    From schematic to stripboard: Power Filtering

    I've been spending a lot of time playing with my breadboard, and now I'm on to the next step: moving a circuit to strip board to make a pedal enclosure! I've downloaded DIY Layout Creator (thanks to some great posts on here!) and picked a simple circuit to start with. I'm using the treble boost...

    SOLVED Hiss with dual drive engaged

    Thanks for taking the time to answer. I guess it's just something to live with. I figured it might be, but also being new to this, I thought there might be something simple I was overlooking.

    SOLVED Hiss with dual drive engaged

    Just tried that... Didn't make a difference. 🫤 Does it matter that I never installed the 9v battery connector? I wasn't going to use it, so I didn't solder it in.
