I am happy with how the tiny print silkscreened.

You kind of have to use the side of your foot. I haven't missed and gotten both of them too much. I haven't used it while wearing boots yet though. I misjudged the pot legs. I should have moved the whole board up some and made it a little shorter. This is a 4 layer board. I wonder if a 2 layer...

Not pedal PCB but based on Je Taime and Van Pelt Drive. I have been using these together for about a year, so I laid them out and had them built by pcbgogo and put them in a box together. "I Love You" and "Charlie Brown" made me think "Little Red Haired Girl". The cap and yellow wire are for...

Thanks for the links!

Where are these brass sleeves available? Thanks!

I have a predrilled blue I was going to use, but I like the idea of white text on black with a red module. I may paint over the blue to do that.

This is what I have come up with as a enclosure silkscreen idea for Module 8. It will be light blue Apollo Command Module 8 on a lighter blue enclosure with black text and indicator lines. The dark circles are where the edges of the knobs will be for visual reference. The tiny circle is where...

I haven' t seen one in person. Is the sound better than what I am getting with FV1? I think the Module-8 is awesome. It seems the big thing missing from Module 8 and Octagon is the rotary. Is that harder to do with the FV-1 than other types of modulation, or is it just not as popular for people...

I updated the first message in this thread. I believe I have the width and feedback labels swapped. Be sure to check what you think they should be called before copying my labelling.

I use a liquid flux (Kester 186) and try to get the corners down with the pads aligned. Getting the first two pins with all the other pads lined up is the hard part. Then I just solder everything down with solder bridges and too much solder (but not way too much solder). I go back and clean it...

Do you use additional flux?

NOTICE: From testing, I think the width and feedback labels are swapped. Don't copy my labeling without checking for yourself. This is enclosed in one of the pre-drilled Tayda enclosures. I hand soldered the FV-1 from electro-smith since PedalPCB was out of stock. The design is supposed to...

Sounds pretty awesome. I feel like there are more sounds locked in it, but I just don't know how to set the controls yet. I have to agree that this one is sensitive to how the input and output are routed, or you will get noise. Do most people put this in front or after their dirt pedals?

I was more interested in the problem of constructing the thing. The FV-1 comes in a 28 pin package with a pitch of 0.05". The ADSP-21375 comes in a 208 pin LQFP with a pin pitch of 0.5mm (about 0.0197") Most people already want the FV-1 pre-soldered (or do they?). Can it be expected for many...

I just bought one of these. I could probably use two. Taking the back off and looking made me wonder if this is beyond what most people here want to get into. I admit that I find the 208 pin LQFP of the main processor (ADSP-21375) intimidating to hand solder. There are two circuit cards almost...

The new Tayda A-3186 mini SPDT fits the pre-drilled hole perfectly. I think the pre-drilled 6 knob is great for Kaleidoscope. I highly recommend the technique of wedging the pots on the board and putting it in the enclosure and tightening the nuts on the pots before soldering then in with the...

I don't recommend the Kester 245 no-clean solder if you are unsure of your soldering ability or for surface mount unless you are using and additional flux, such as the Kester 186 Liquid flux. It does have less residue, not no residue and is probably good for through hole if you are more...

I am using: [all other effects] --> Tweed Sound --> Frog Preamp --> UniCab --> DI Box No amp. The Frog Preamp was built with a PCB from FrogPedals.com. It was a little more difficult to build because a lot of the circuit is at 185V and I am not used to looking for that voltage...

Has anyone build a Kaleidoscope and used the Tayda predrilled 6 knob enclosure? It seems that while the hole is big for the switch, it is still quite a bit smaller than the nut.

You could try swapping R17 for a 47K and see if you get more red. I also feel like I got more depth after doing this.
