Hi everyone! I’ve just set up a wet dry set up and my quaverato harmonic trem and I think the PPCB Caesar pedal flip the phase which is a pain as the signal is split before modulation. I could run the split after them both but I’d like the separation to two amps. If I added an inverted op amp...

Has anyone experimented with adding an effect loop to a delays repeats only? I plan on giving this a try and other than having a buffer on the return signal, I can’t think of any issues as most effects would be instrument and not line level. The DOD rubberneck has an effects loop in it but I...

The pedals as part of this poll are all on evil bay at the moment and I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on one of them.

I took a chance on this through eBay. The seller had said that it had been sat in a box for 20 years and didn’t work. They go on reverb (for examples in better condition than this one) for £350-£580 so I took a punt and won it for £161 thinking there’s a good chance to get my money back or more...

This is my first build in about 18 months which is appalling. Fallen into the trap of busy work and home life making for very little play time. This build has reinvigorated my need to to build pedals again and I’m enjoying planning what’s next, but the build itself was a fight. I’m running...

I had one of Jeff Bezos’ voucher for my birthday and I thought I’d try one of these out. I’m not even sure it’s fair to call it a scope but we’ll see. I want to buy a scope in the future but haven’t got the space at the moment so this will be an interesting experiment. Anyone else tried one?

Does anyone know of transistors sockets in a TO-5 package that aren’t astronomically expensive? I am not a fan of using split off inline sockets. The one below is $2.50 for one!

I’m toying with the idea of putting together a 5 pedal set up in an large Hammond enclosure similarly (but less magnificently) to what @ADAOCE did - https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/bass-multi-effect-pedalboard.11968/ What are your five pedals that are essential for you (on this desert...

Hi everyone, After seeing @Chuck D. Bones thread on relay switching - it has got me thinking. I am tempted to have a go at Dave’s but I would love to get the bottom of this issue. I often use codas relay bypass circuitry on designs. It is plagued by certain builds having a loud pop when...

If you could design your own active EQ pedal what bands would you choose and why would you choose those frequencies?

Does anyone have any experience of adding an LFO to a deep blue delay style pedal or any other PT2399 delay for that matter? Fuzz dog includes a pad available in the link below for one and I was interested to see what others had done. The pad attaches into the delay pot and the resistor of pin...

I was trying out some of my overdrives I had built a while ago. My duocast has developed a ground hum which I need to look at, the Mach 1 just didn’t seem to pair well with my current amp and the dumbloid clone just wasn’t doing it for me at all. Then I tried my zendrive clone with the guitar...

I have a build in mind that I want to put together a PCB for. I want to use a 125B in a vertical position. I am working today and haven’t got my laptop to check if the spacing would fit. Would it be possible to fit 4 9mm pots in a row with the smallest knobs I can find? If not I’ll have to use...

Does anyone subscribe to Circuit Lab? Is it worth the $79 a year? I am really struggling with LTspice to where it is not useable for me without getting mega frustrated. Any tips on any other circuit simulation tools?

Anyone ever used a hot air gun for solder paste reflowing with SMD stencils? @fig has got me tempted with his fancy oven but I’m not sure I’m ready for that level of commitment just yet. I quite enjoy watching Dave Jones on EEVblog and saw that he has done it with some success - I wondered...

Send help... I had surgery on my shoulder on Monday after my accident last year and I'm in a sling for two weeks. No guitar and no building. DipTrace has been my savour but now I am addicted. Ive been trying to combine different circuits in one enclosure and also had a go at designing my own...

This is the first of a few PCBs I've had a go at putting together myself using DipTrace and JLCPCB. Massive thanks to @cooder firstly for the inspiration with his amazing builds and for helping me get my head around DipTrace. This is a rat that uses some of Jack Ormans mods from his e-book. I...

I haven't had much time for building recently so this one has taken me a few months to get done. I was meticulous about measuring every part when I was populating this board as I really didn't want to have to troubleshoot this one. Luckily it worked first time. It sounds awesome. I am using it...

I know there is no such thing as the best or optimum in anything in the pedal world but I wondered if anyone had guidance on setting Low and High pass filtering on a harmonic trem. I usually would go with 400Hz and 600hz as a starting point. I tried to mess about with different frequencies the...

@jjjimi84 was kind enough to do a piece of art for me and it is incredible. He absolutely knocked it out of the park. The colour of the planet in the bottom left and the astronauts visor changes depending on what angle you view it at. Also the slow cycling LED is cool. I soldered the FV-1...
