Tayda UV printing for the win on the enclosure (need to get some different knobs, though).

Anyone else come across this? Any recommendations for addressing it? I think I have the trimpots dialed in decently, but I'm getting a very pronounced ticking as it steps through. (And messing with the trimpots just dials out the desired sound, not the ticking.) In the video, you can hear it...

(y) No trimmit board; just tied the wiper to one leg and soldered in directly.

Good question. I thought tested them before I put them in there, but now that I think about it, I can't remember if I tested the second one. Definitely a good obvious place to start. Thanks!

I've been struggling with getting my Chop Shop to work right. I biased the J201s to about 6v using 20k trimmers, but it still didn't quite sound like everyone described it. So I removed the old through-hold J201s I was using and swapped in some of the newer SMD ones. Now Q1 is still...

Yep, it's a newer one. Chatting with Mr PCB to see what we can figure out. I actually bought a couple of boards, so I might wire up the second one tonight and see if it's doing the same thing.

Bumping this back to top. I fiddled around with a few sets of transistors yesterday, and I was getting oscillation with all of them when I cranked both the Before and After pots. I tried a few sets of 2N5088 and 2N5089 to start out. Does anyone know which transistors the production Carcosa...

Good call. I always socket diodes, just in case, but an on-off-on switch could be interesting for trying different configurations.

Breakstreet is a Sobbat DB-1 circuit: https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/breakstreet/ Anyone know the difference between DB-1 and DB-2? According to Sobbat, DB-2 is lower gain and a little rougher. https://www.sobbat.com/db2usa.html I'm curious if they're close enough that you could build the...

1) C10 (100nF) is listed on the parts list and the schematic, but I'm not seeing it on the layout. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/Carcass.pdf @PedalPCB - You mentioned that this is a revised layout... was C10 removed from this version of the board? Or is it still needed in parallel with...

Thanks! I bought a super cheap multimeter with a transistor tester to sort through the transistors I have laying around... A bunch of super old 2n5088s that have hfe all over the map, including up to ~700 on a few! Good to know that this layout seems to be pretty solid. USPS delivered the...

I've been poking around trying to figure out my transistor strategy for the Carcass Fuzz that USPS swears is "currently in transit to the destination." While I learn a valuable lesson about patience, I thought I'd start a thread to collect some resources on Carcosa transistors. I few places...
