    Mach 1 (Greer Lightspeed) - No Signal when Stomped On

    Hi, I finished up a Mach 1 PCB tonight and am having some troubleshooting issues. When powered, the LED does come on. True bypass does pass through the cables and to my amp. However when stomped on, all sound cuts. I have checked for any grounding out and have tried it both outside and inside...

    Electrovibe Issue at Max Speed; Bulb Stalls and Stays Always On (photos and video)

    I finally got around to building my Electrovibe and it sounds so good. Only issue I'm having is when I increase the speed knosb (happens on both knobs), the bulb will pulse faster then once maxed, the bulb will remain always on. I have tweaked both trim pots across the full range to see if that...

    Electrovibe Photocell Positioning/Height/Angle Relative to Bulb

    I'm building an Electrovibe and am unsure as to how the photocells are supposed to be positioned around the bulb. I've found a few photos online but want to make sure I do it correctly. I have 7532 photocells...

    Kliche Mini - Very Loud Output

    I have a Kliche Mini (most recent revision with the 1/4W resistors) built but I am getting very loud volume output. With the treble and gain knobs set to about half way, unity volume with an amp is with the pedal’s volume knob at about 15%. This is my first experience with a Klon, so maybe this...

    Help finding/subbing a few components (BA282, LM13600, C150K pot)

    For about 7 months I've had unfinished PCBs for a King's Hand Overdrive (King Tone Duellist Side B https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/kingshand/), and a Waddle Box (DOD FX25 Envelope Filter https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/waddlebox/). I wasn't able to find the following parts at the time and...

    Clandestine Preamp Questions

    I'm getting started on the Clandestine Preamp and am confused about the capacitors C1, C2, C3, C4, C5: I've never seen the layout with 4 points per capacitor. Do I just solder a small lead from the capacitor leg to the holes outside of each? Also - I'm just realizing I ordered the wrong...

    Substitutions for RC4558P (King's Hand Overdrive), 2N5457 (Clandestine Preamp),

    Hi, I'm putting together the carts for the King's Hand Overdrive and Clandestine Preamp. Is there by chance any equivalencies I can use for the IC1 - RC4558P (King's Hand) and the Q1 - 2N5457 (Clandestine Preamp) that are in stock at either Tayda or Small Bear? Also just to verify, is this...

    Accidentally ordered 3-Terminal 1/4" Stereo Input/Output Jacks, instead of Mono 1/4" Jacks

    I'm building a Son of Ben preamp and a Mahayana (Zen) Drive, and just realized I ordered stereo 1/4" jacks with 3-terminals instead of the usual mono ones I've gotten in the past. Will these still work? Can I just ignore one of the hot terminals and it will work as mono? What I accidentally...

    AionFX Cygnus toasted LED pads - any hope with a jumper trick from you wizards?

    Because of some confusing and conflicting notation on AionFX's PCB, their build docs, and google search, I put the LED in backwards and then totally roasted the pads on both sides trying to get it out. I'm hoping that someone here can take a look at the schematic and find a fix by means of...

    Can I use electrolytic caps in place of box film caps for this?

    I ordered the PCB and parts for an Aion FX Cygnus (Cornish G2) and didn't realize until I was halfway done building it that I ordered 2.2k uF electrolytic caps instead of 2.2k uF box film caps (C14 and C17 on this parts list). Thanks.

    Want to try a build on Vero or Stripboard for the first time (no PCB available). A few questions

    I've successfully built two pedals from PedalPCB and I'm totally hooked. My goal is to replace as much of my pedalboard with homemade clones as I can. After doing a Mahayana (Zendrive) and Informant (DRV 1981) from PedalPCB, I tried to find one for my Lovepedal BBB. It's a very simple pedal -...

    Burned a PCB pad, is there any workaround for this? (Informant Overdrive)

    I did the same exact thing on my very first build last week, and twebb6778 was thankfully able to help me out with a workaround and I got it working. Within the first 15 minutes of starting this one I did the same thing again and dropped solder into a PCB hole while doing a socket, and I spent...

    Burned a pad on my first build - Is there any hope for this?

    I was so close to finishing my first PCB attempt with the Mahayana Drive then I messed up on the 9V power jack on the PCB. I did a bad solder on it, desoldered, then continued this cycle several times and now the pad is completely gone and solder won't even come close to forming and sticking at...

    First Time Building (Informant Overdrive) - Which Specific Cap, IC Types? (Tayda)

    I'm putting together everything in my cart on Tayda Electronics to build an Informant Overdrive once the PCB is back in stock. I've got plenty of soldering experience and have rehoused several pedals, and now I want to try my hand at putting a full pedal together. **The red lines through the...
