I'm looking for a more economical way to build a single FV-1 effect pedal. I only need one of the algorithms (dual pitch shifter). My original prototype used the Pythagoras PCB with a custom EEPROM. Total base cost for that build is around $40 before getting any of the other components. That's...

I'm working on Pythagoras. It's my first build with SMD, and I'm seeing some continuity between some of the pins. I haven't soldered any of the other components on the board yet. Just the Spin IC. I'm getting continuity between the following adjacent pins: 1---2 6---8 11---12 18---19 24---25...

I'm wondering if I can use a switching TS enclosed jack for the sidechain if muzzle. This one, to be specific: https://stompboxparts.com/jacks/1-4-mono-enclosed-jack-panel-mount/ When I check continuity on this jack, I get the following: When cable is inserted: switched terminal has no...

I'm working on a pedal for a friend, and he wants an octave up effect. He's not into the Squidward or anything else that's like a fuzz. He loves the Ocelot tone, but wants an octave up (not down). Anyone have a recommendation?

I think I may have gotten the wrong kind of mini slide switch for muzzle Classic. The one I ordered on Tayda has, what appears to be, 5 pins instead of 3: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/slide-switch-1p2t-through-hole-0-5a-50vdc.html Would this one work better, or can I just clip/cut off...

Made this for a friend who plays bass. He uses something like Boss FX-25 with both knobs turned almost all the way down and it gives the bass a boost in the sub frequencies. He also wanted a unique fuzz tone added to it. So, I combined Waddle Box with Squidward and found a way for them to share...

I'm hoping to build a Squidward and add a mix pot so I can dial up and down the octave. Looking at the schematic, it's not clear where I could insert a pot to dial this in. I suspect that it wouldn't dial up the effect any more than the default, but it'd be nice to have some control over this

I'm thinking through the layout and wiring strategy for a 2 effect combo pedal that I'm experimenting with. I've just roughed everything into a spare enclosure w/ a bunch of nonsense holes. Still haven't assembled the Squidward board, but it's mocked in there according to scale. These are the...

I'm wondering if it's possible to use a Protoboard Micro to test a newly-assembled PCB. I would assume that I don't really need to mess with the stomp switch connections at the bottom of the board, but besides that, what connects to what?

This seems like it's going to be tricky to figure out. Bypass works fine, but the 2nd LED stays lit even in bypass. When I engage the switch, both LEDs light up, but I'm not hearing any of the Chorus effect no matter how much I crank the knobs/pots. I opted to go with the MN3207 / MN3102 IC...

I'm working on building a bunch of these pedals and about half of them have this problem where the LED for the distortion circuit won't light up even though the circuit is making the right sounds when engaged. I have mounted these "problem" PCBs in an enclosure yet, so maybe it's just a...

I built two of these. One works/sounds awesome, the other sounds amazing, but the LEDs don't work when everything is in the enclosure and tightened up. All other controls and switches operate as they should just no LED. As soon as I loosen the nuts on the jacks, LEDs come back on again. If I...

I had a bit of fun building this one since it's the first PedalPCB that I've built, and the first pedal that uses one of Tayda's pre-drilled powder coated enclosures. I just used a waterslide decal that I printed on a laser printer, but next time I'll use Tayda's UV print service. I ran into a...

I'm going to use Tayda's custom drilling and UV printing for the first time. But the measurements in the templates from PedalPCB and Tayda are different. I'm wondering which one to trust when preparing artwork and using Tayda's drilling tool. The specifics: On the PedalPCB drill template, the...
