A buddy of mine just acquired a 9volt external power box made by Highlander Musical Audio Products. From what I can tell it uses a stereo cable from which the ring terminal carries the 9volts from a battery to power the preamp for the pickup inside the acoustic instrument. There is no option on...

Hey guys I was just rummaging through some backlogged projects and ran across a board that I can’t identify. It’s a Pedalpcb board that utilizes 1/8 watt resistors. The number on the backside is PCB040. Any help here would be great. I tried entering the number in the search window on the main...

First pedal I’ve built for quite some time. I’ve spread myself pretty thin this past year plus lots of “honey-do’s”. Felt good to sneak a pedal in.

Could someone tell me if I have the schematic labeled properly for a J201. I believe I do but I would like to be certain before I fill a breadboard the wrong way. Thank you in advance.

I just finished the Monarch. When I first started playing with it it seemed pretty normal but as time went by it started getting really farty no matter where the settings were. The harder you chug the fartier it gets. I then discovered that I had it plugged in to the 18v slot on my power supply...

I overcame my OCD and was able to start and complete the Monarch while I’m still in the process of troubleshooting the Emu Amp Sim

I’m getting signal in bypass. No output when engaged. When I put the slide switches in high gain mode I can ever so faintly hear high gain sounding output but it’s barely audible. I’ve inspected for cold joints and can’t find anything that jumps out at me. I’ve read the color bands on every...

Maybe a silly question but I’ll ask anyways. Does it matter which side of the switch break out boards the switch is mounted to? I believe each outer hole connects to its partner to the inside of it and just extends the terminals outward. I just noticed I have one of the switches mounted opposite...

Hey gang, I’m in the process of building the Emu. I’ve done my homework and I understand that the slide switches need to be elevated a bit off of their pcb’s as to not conduct between the metal body and the elevating pins. Back to the metal body now. I’ve opted to not use the face plate because...

Digging the sounds of this one. Does anyone have first hand experience with this one? I’m digging the demo’s

Still trying to expand on my schematic reading/breadboarding skills. Can somebody tell me if this is correct. The 2 circled 10k resistors are acting like a voltage divider in this 9v power supply circuit so the voltage at VREF should be approx 4.5 volts. If I’m not reading this correctly can...

I’m expanding on my schematic/breadboarding skills and I’ve been moving right along. I’m a little confused about this symbol I encountered today for this spdt switch. Could somebody help me identify what’s going on here with lug #1. I see that #2 goes to ground and #3 comes from the cap, I just...

Not a pedalpcb build but it was the last project I had until my new pedal pcb’s show up. I’ve made this same pedal on stripboard but wanted a pcb version of it. It’s a beast. Not sure why but my stripboard version sounds a tad bit more aggressive than this one.

After hearing this I’ve got to build the King now.

Finally built a klone. I’ve been meaning to for a long time but kept getting distracted with other pedals. I do see what the allure is. Definitely it’s own style

Finally got some enclosures finished so I can get some work done. I built this with the mods suggested in this forum. Haven’t had much time to fool with it much but it definitely has a lot of boost on tap.

Well it’s too cold to fish so I finally started in on the pedals again. Finally got the knack for re-drilling the holes without pulling the envirotex loose from the edges and causing a big ole bubble. This pedal sounds great and has a metric ton of sounds.

Great sounding chorus. I don’t have an oscilloscope to dial it in so I did it by ear. I’m happy with what I’ve got. This one wasn’t as hard as I anticipated. Just took my time and it all worked out.

Finally finished a pedal. It’s tough to do during salmon season. I really like this delay. I’d venture to say even better than my carbon copy. I think it’s easier to dial in and I love the tone control.

Boy I guess I’m really late to the game. I’ve always ordered from mouser using my phone and I’ve actually got to the point where I was doing pretty well. Today for no reason I sat down at the desktop and discovered a whole new realm. The filter system is WAY easier than the way I was doing it so...
