    Switching A and C in an ABC 3 pedal layout.

    Hey y'all. I'm in a pickle. I had asked about this on the DIY pedal subreddit and they went private for the protest before I could save the image. So i know it's out there but im having a hell of a time finding it.... Here's what I have: 3 circuits in one big 1590dd. I have it all grounded...

    Deflector won't Deflect......

    Fully stumped. I've metered every component. reflowed any suspect joint. Mine's doing the thing where the bypassed signal and effected signal are exactly the same. Knobs make no change in any direction. I've changed the two IC's i had (the 16 pin guy and the standard tl072) I ordrered...

    LDR for Sproing Deluxe.

    Just getting this one together. I have everything on hand but the brick and the LDR. I see that There are two kinds carried by Pedal PCB (both out of stock atm) but I want to make sure I order the right one. Does anyone have specs on what this calls for? I see there is: 10 – 20K light, 1M...

    King of Greer build (two ships in one bottle content)

    So the mach 1 board is little. I've cranked out a few of them for buddies and really enjoy the build. It's just a fast one with a great end result. I've been curious about the Southern Belle for a while now. It's essentially the same (while they were out of stock, pedal pcb told me i could...

    dumb question: trim pot to surface mounting pot...which lugs?

    I know i should know this. But if i want to move a bias pot or any other internal trimmer, what goes to what lug wise Imagine a triangle pointing up (pinout for most trimmers on these boards) does it go left, wiper, right? I'm sorry this is super noob stuff

    adding a master volume to the chickenhead

    What im trying to do may be impossible with the board, but I'm interested in it even if i have to go perf. I built this tweaked rangemaster and it hasn't been turned off yet at all. I made 5 more and gave them as gifts. I'm full on in love. I'd love to be able to add in a simple post gain...

    Same old parentheses fuzz octave issue.

    I dug thorugh some older threads but most are for the older board. I used 1N34A diodes across the board in D1 D2 and D8 and D9. It seems like I have the same issue. (no octave effect and turning up the octave knob cuts volume) I just didn't see where we landed because I'm not using old school...

    New relay boards.... looper build questions :-)

    So i grabbed a handful of these when they became available. Used the BOM (latching) they provided here on the forum and im LOVING the results in the first three pedals i put them in. Feel's like im making premium stuff. I have an old 5 loop switcher i made back in the day. It's been dead...

    Adding a bias pot to the Tone Vendor

    It's nearly impossible to get rando ebay transistors to bias right without swapping out resistors. I'd like to add a bias pot (I've seen trimmers that fit in a narrow resistor spot). Looking at the scheme I'm suspecting the 8.2k, but i want to go about this the right way. I'm open to...

    Couple of broadcasts... Duocast and simulcast builds.

    I've been deep into the "always on preamp" style pedal hunt. Benson, Rangemaster, Chickenhead, Various Optical Comps etc... Finally got around to trying the hudson. Both are built with NOS oc71's from tube depot. Triad transformers etc. I had the cool neve knobs everyone loves on the big...

    modding the informant... input needed :-)

    built a few of these stock. like the sounds. attempting a relay switched soft touch version like the real deal this weekend. I'm considering making one in a larger 1590bb with some mods. Here's what I'm thinking, and I'd be down for any feedback or knowledge. 1.) diode clipping on a switch...

    informant buffered bypass question.

    Sometimes this pedal is in a chain with a klon, sometimes it's not. I was considering kicking this over to the buffered wiring, but before i did.... Do any of you guys have a clever way to put the buffer on a switch? Looking at how diff the switch wiring is for each option... It doesn't look...

    Teach me buffered bypass :-/

    I built the informant.(and I really, REALLY dig it) Like all my other builds I built it True Bypass. I don't have a buffer in this board I'm currently running on. I usually have a klon somewhere in the chain, but i replaced it with a SHO. I played my buddies real deal DRV the other day...

    Simulcast resistor sub question.

    so... 450r resistors are rare as hens teeth. Can't even find them on ebay. I have 430r and 470r here. Gonna meter and see whats close. Looking at the schematic it shouldn't make a HUGE diff. Do i go lower or higher here? Any suggestion? Knowing how hard 450r is to find I'm sure some of...

    duocast issues

    Could only find LT054CP and LT054IP instead of plain ole LT054. From what i can see in datasheets it might not matter? Pedal makes sound but its sound is super gated and only works on lower register notes. Like a bias starved fuzz? I have this sneaking suspicion it will be the oc71. Never...
