I believe Mouser has the ability (and probably Digikey as well) to load a BOM (bill of materials) but in what format I’m not confident… been a while since I uploaded a BOM instead of creating my own. I’ve ordered from Tayda as well, and I would say the major drawback is the shipping time...

I figured I’d probably start with the final 220n (right before the A100k out) and work backwards… thanks 🙏 Also curious whether I’m missing something obvious that an experienced eye would catch.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum... I have a Runoffgroove Ginger for bass - great edge of grit sound, love the boost it gives, but for some reason I notice a significant loss of deep bass frequencies when I kick it on (compared with clean signal into my amp). So, I am looking at the...

Sorry to revive a zombie, but instead of making another thread about Sproing mods… Did the linear taper pot give you a better working range? I have the same (minor) complaint, that the knob doesn’t seem to do much for the first third/half or so of the range. I also thought about trying to get...

Sorry mate

Knew it was something dumb, solved by swapping the wires at the output jack. Hard to believe I got that wrong, thanks for setting me straight.

Hello all, got a Kliche up and running (installed a switch to swap between the clean version and the normal OD version, pretty cool!). Sorry if this has been covered a million times: I got everything working outside the enclosure, so I installed everything in the box. No sound. Double...

I just triggered half the forum

Great suggestion, I have my eye on those build documents as well as the BYOC and GGG. It seems the V1 vs V2 debate is the “Centaur magic diodes“ for this style of pedal.

Brilliant, thanks

I have the names of about 5-6 BB style pedals that I’m aware of… it’s a good start but my neuroticism requires certainty! Hahaha.

Spoiled for choice is the problem! I was looking to build a Bluesbreaker type OD (with my own dinky mods) and as usual my first thought was to come to PedalPCB. But because there are so, so many OD options I was struggling to sort through which choices are in the “Bluesbreaker” camp (as...

To be fair, I have a tenuous grasp on it myself. That’s really why I was asking the question; I was confused by the apparent disconnect between the 9v on the schematic/pedal and what I saw in the power supply section of the schematic itself.

Here's an example of an ACA Boss schematic vs a PSA Boss schematic: ACA 12v: Boss CE-2 Chorus In this circuit, D5 and R53 provide voltage dropping from the 12v ACA power supply this pedal was designed to use. Thus the rest of the pedal runs either on 9v battery; or 9v power supply plus the...

Older (the original) Boss pedals were designed to use an unregulated 12v power supply, instead of the regulated 9v power supply most modern pedals use. So even though Boss pedals were designed to be run off a 9v battery, the circuits also included a voltage dropping diode-resistor pair that was...

My understanding: older Boss pedals using ACA had a diode and resistor in series between the input jack sleeve (ground) and the power supply negative; this pair did not exist between the input jack sleeve and battery negative. This accounts for the ACA 12v supply vs. the 9v battery supply...

Modding my Rat has been on backburner but something I’d like to do at some point. Very curious what you find in your build.

Hey folks, quick question: Built the ReproFuzz, really enjoy it. I posted a build thread here if you want to take a look at what I did. The only thing I'd like to change now is the amount of fuzz or saturation at the low end of the Gain knob. Turned down all the way, it still has a LOT of...

Here's some info on my ReproFuzz build... I've made one pedal before this but have knowledge from modifying guitar amps and repairing home hifi amps, so not a total stranger to components and builds. TL;DR: Mods - R1 2k4 ohm (original 3k3) R10 22k ohm (original 4k7) Bass pot A200k (original...
