I ordered a "The Gent" PCB and I didn't notice before ordering that it calls for 2x 1n941b. I'd never seen that before and it looks like they are pretty pricey. Are there any good alternatives? Can I just use a normal 1n941? Thank you!

Hey gang! I just built the Master Fuzz and it sounds nasty (in a good way)! I am trying to determine if the controls are working correctly. I know some old circuits controls are kind of useless. The volume works as expected. The fuzz knob also pretty much just acts as a volume - it gets much...

Hey! Sorry for asking for help so frequently! I appreciate you all. I built this Pyrocumulus (Thorpy Fallout Cloud) for a friend and I'm not confident about the way the sustain knob works. It definitely increases gain but most of what is happening toward the end of the sweep is it's adding a...

Edit : Read another post where they talked about the switches and they mentioned the boost toggle does engage the preamp knob. Sorry for the extra post! Not sure I can delete this. Howdy again partners! I built the Pot and Kettle recently and I'm not totally sure if it is behaving correctly...

I have an older Conqueror PCB without the extra holes for the transformer middle pins and support claws. Should I just cut/bend the middle pins and claws? Just curious what other people did with this version. I assume primary is facing up and the 4 corner pins just go to their corresponding...

Howdy partners! I made the mistake of forgetting to add a TL022 to my cart and now I have a nearly complete Cepheid sitting on my desk. Curious if there are other appropriate choices? I have a bunch of different options - just not the one I need! Guessing a TL072 could work but may be noisier...

Hey! I got some pcbs from someone who wasn't going to finish them and a Dung Beetle was one of them. It seems like the layout changed a fair amount and one of the cap values is different. Since I don't have the old schematic I can't tell if it's the same cap that changed.. Kind of looks like it...

I just built the Champ Stamp and while it functions and sounds pretty good I have a couple questions about the trimmer/ biasing the J201 Has anyone else built the Champ Stamp and happen to know what the trimmer should be set to? It seems to be biasing a transistor other than the J201. I don't...

Hey! I got to the testing phase of my Caesar and the toggle doesn't seem to change the shape. All the knobs function as they should as far as I can tell. I can see the red leds on the pcb flashing when I flip the toggle one way and the turn off in the other direction. I assume that part is...

Can anyone point me to a place that would have one of these super wide brownie caps (F334K v250MPP1)? I know it's 330nf 250v. I also know that I don't need an exact replacement - but it would be cool to find one. If anyone can let me know where to buy one - or maybe you have one or two in your...

Probably beating a dead horse but I have a few projects coming up that require J201s. The place I was going to order from seems to be out of stock now. Anyone know where I can get some legit ones? Not sure if the ones on ebay are genuine.. I am open to suggestions! Thanks a bunch!

Hey! Just built this one up and I'm not sure if it's working quite right. I just wanted to ask about how my tone switch/control is behaving. When the LED is OFF the tone control works as I expect most tone controls to work. When the LED is ON the volume jumps and it sound different but the tone...

Hello! I am fiddling with the Clandestine and was messing with the bias and I have a feeling it's not quite right. According to another thread it should be biased in the 12v ball part - the only issue is that if I turn the trim pot all the way down it can only make it to 17.2v. I also read a...

Howdy! I built the Pitch Witch PCB recently and while all the controls work correctly the volume drops enough to be annoying. If I adjust the trim pot to where the volume is better the signal distorts if I play hard. Anyone else dealt with this issue? If so, how did you fix it? Maybe a...

Howdy! Just curious if anyone who has built or knows anything about this can help me figure out how to bias this correctly. I realize some of it will be to taste but ideally I could get it where it's supposed to be to start. Do I need to turn the sag all the way one way or the other first? And...

Hello! 👋 I built the Sherwood last night and everything seems to function but I think in general there is too much treble even with the knob turned all the way down. From what I can remember it should be pretty flat when the bass and treble are at noon but it seems like there is a presence (?)...

Hello pedal pals! I ordered a Mystery Machine PCB without looking at the parts list first and now I see I need a couple of germanium transistors. I have never had any luck finding germanium transistors for a decent price so I have avoided building anything that requires them. Is there a decent...

Howdy! I just finished building the Conqueror Fuzz and it sounds pretty darn neat. The only thing I would like to change is getting unity volume at least a little closer to noon. Right now I would say its around 2:30-3ish? Give or take. Not sure that it's going to help but I think that's the...

Howdy partners. I am not a circuitry genius like it seems like a lot of people online are. Perhaps I am not skilled enough to finish this but I think with a few nudges this can be figured out. I have built quite a few pedals and troubleshot a bunch on my own but I am just not sure what to do...

I got a Low Tide PCB last month and I have had some issues getting all the parts so I put it on the back burner. Today I opened up the Low Tide document and it looks like it was just updated (today actually) - if anyone in the know happens to know what the differences are.. What are they? I see...
