    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    Totally. Also I think most people interact with the internet via some form of social media. My dad basically only uses Facebook (and he’s gotten into some awful rabbit holes through it). Many people in India get mobile internet access via Facebook (look that one up, it’s fascinating). I work in...

    Drive Pedals have DC Leak & Switch Pop

    Yeah I would try getting better quality caps and see if they make a difference.

    SWITCH-CRAFT (got any creative uses of switches?)

    I hope everything is ok!

    1590A Tone Generator

    I know, and they are cheap enough, but it still feels weird to have all those little ants hiding in a drawer and I probably will never use them.

    PPCB 3 Channel Mixer and Splitter.

    Speaking of BOM with high quality components… ;)

    Gotcha. The BOM specifies the Tayda stereo jacks so I was confused by that...

    1590A Tone Generator

    I guess I could build 50 of these, or maybe the special edition SMD TS? What else, what else?

    PPCB 3 Channel Mixer and Splitter.

    I have one more question: why does this need stereo jacks? And how should they be wired? I only see signal and ground pads on the PCB?

    1590A Tone Generator

    Uhm, I just noticed that the minimum quantity for 0805 resistors is 50 at Tayda... what am I gonna do with the hundreds of resistors I will be left with?!? Necklaces? How is everybody else handling this?

    Analog Tube Power amp simulator: studying possibilities

    Not to derail the technical discussion, but I always felt like the speaker moving so much air was a big part of the tube sound. Also the feel under my fingers is always different than anything else but I can’t tell you what that means! Good luck with the research, one day we may not have tubes...

    Thank you! Now the hardest thing: choosing the color… 🧐

    PPCB 3 Channel Mixer and Splitter.

    I am about to order pre-drilled Tayda enclosures for these. I was wondering if you thought the Lumberg power plugs were necessary or if the regular size ones would do? Also, I noticed that the 5mm LEDs do not fit through the faceplate holes, was it tricky to mount them so that they get through...

    REQUEST PPCB tone generator

    Do we have a Tayda drill template for the tone generator? I thought this required a specially milled enclosure? I can’t find relevant threads so asking here. Thank you all!

    Binder for PCB storage

    I have been storing my PCBs in trading cards sheets for a while. I also bought some sheets with four pockets (no idea what they are supposed to be for) that work for larger boards. And for huge boards single pocket. I bought from Ultra PRO and their stuff seems pretty good.

    What are the pedals every guitarist must have?

    Tuner, overdrive, octave down, envelope filter, phaser, dimension C, analog delays (I would say 5 but you can get away with 4), hall reverb, amp tremolo. Edit: you may want a phaser before and one after the drive. Or a vibe first and phaser after. And for the drive, try a Klon, TS...

    Audio probe help/tips

    Successful audio probing requires some understanding of circuits. Not all components should have signal and it is appropriate if sometimes the signal you hear at some nodes is very weak. To start, focus on active components: transistors and opamps. You can make troubleshooting threads for each...

    Help identifying coupling caps

    Isn’t that network necessary for the compressor to work properly? I’m not familiar with compression circuits.

    Question About Selling

    I agree with this. I think choice paralysis is a problem and people try to stay away from too many choices (sometimes subconsciously). I tend to avoid restaurants where the menu is more than two pages!
