Does anyone else have serious problems adding wires to their builds? I can't quite tell you why I hate doing this so much. Probably because I run into problems during this last step in almost every build. It seems like it should be the easiest part, but something always seems to go wrong...

wow thanks dude. just finished wiring up the amentum boost. This is exactly what my full drive 2 needed (the "boost" in that pedal totally sucks). Now I need to find my glasses so that I can actually see what I'm doing with these j201s hahaha...

Hi there, Two questions from a total noobie: I hate outboard wiring. It is the bane of my existence. So I purchased those power I/O modules, because it looks like it would make things a lot more simple. I also recently ordered the pineapple distortion (wampler pinnacle clone). Now, this...

D'oh Its probably between 800F and 900F. Hard to say since there is no digital display. But I crank the temp control close to it's limit.

Holy crap thank you so much. I can't beleive I overlooked that. Ok, well, not a problem. I have a bag of 50 3mm red LEDs.

so the stockade is on hold. I could have sworn I had at least 3 stomp switches to use for this, but I can only find 2. Which brings me to another set of questions (unrelated to the topic, but don't think it needs it's own thread). There seems to be 6 places on the board where one can place...

Seems simple enough! Almost done with the stockade (eqd palisades clone/ several TS clones in one). I just need to jump one connection, drill my enclosure, solder the pots, and solder my wires. I was so damn careful with this build. I used to pray to the PCB gods, but they never answered...

Ok, let me know if I understand correctly: If I need something conductive on each side of the broken trace, then I could use a wire? I would solder one end to the leg of the component that would normally be soldered to the pad that was lifted. I could add a good amount of solder so that it...

omg... this took me a minute. No, it took me like two days. wow. hahah

haha ok great. I might as well experiment a bit. Best case scenario, I get a few new working pedals from this pile of wrecked PCBs that I have laying around. Worst case scenario.... I still have a pile of wrecked PCBs. Nothing to lose at this point! :LOL:

Excellent! Thank you for the replies. So when I bridge a connection, I can just refer to the schematic to figure out which solder joint I need to connect to. That should be no problem. As far as how to bridge the connection, I am guessing the way to do this may depend on the the situation...

Hey everyone, I'm a bit rough with my pcbs. And this roughness is totally unwarranted. Every step of the way should be done with light touch, so I'm trying to pull back the reins. Go slow. Be gentle. Use only as much solder and heat as is needed. So on and so forth. Anyways, I have some...

Please! This is a super transparent compressor that works wonders with a bass. Where's the love for the bass players?

The red component... I'm guessing this is a box film capacitor. Why are the leads so long? Are you not supposed to trim them as short as everything else? Anyone want to enlighten me on this? I am trying to figure out why all of my attempts have been unsuccessful. I swear to god.. if it is...
