    Paisley Drive - Baby’s First Stripboard Build

    Why feeling kind of guilty? You did a great job at building a functionning pedal on vero, and that, in itself, is great! I never did it myself without a PCB. As far as how it looks on the outside, I made better ones, I also made uglier ones!!! It says what it does, right? It works, it's all that...

    Pcbguitarmania Flaming Space Ring

    Great job! As much as I despise PCBGuitar Mania, and knowing the DEFX story about his one (that I read about after building this), I have to admit that it is a good one. Very noisy. Great to have fun with, if that's anything NOISE is your thing. Only problem I met with this one is that one of...

    DEMO Desolate Fuzz (Unpleasant Surprise)

    Great demo! I built one too, and it's a great one. Just got a DOD Carcosa, out of curiosity, I thought it was going to replace this one on my pedalboard, but it seems that nope. The Carcosa is very good and offers a lot of possibilities, so I'll keep it and explore as well, but this one is...

    PedalPCB Low Tide

    Alright, I'm jealous now... 😑 :ROFLMAO: That enclosure is just beautiful. And yes, it's one that can be tough to dial in, but once done it's simply incredible.

    What are your 5 Desert Island Pedals?

    - Duocast - Fuzz War Mk. 2 - Low Tide Modulator - Something like the Strymon Flint that does Spring Reverb and old school Tremolo - A stereo digital delay with various different programs ... (And a Meris Mercury) ... (And a Strymon Deco)

    Coda Effects status? Or Black Hole PCB replacement?

    I would avoid PCB Guitar Mania as well, for the same reasons as already mentioned. Building from his PCBs with his documentations is almost like playing russian roulette 🥳. Concerning Coda Effects, I read a few other persons in the last year or so not managing getting an answer from him, usually...

    Pcbguitarmania vu-tron

    Just unsoldered and resoldered the jacks properly. Obviously, no more buzz and the pedal is working as it should. Once again, thank you. I thought about it earlier, but eventhough it was in front of me, I didn't notice anything wrong! :ROFLMAO:

    Pcbguitarmania vu-tron

    You know what? Thank you A LOT for this! As soon as I saw your picture, I realized one thing (and I'm ashamed of what a noob mistake this one is - first build in quite a long time if this can explain that...) : I reversed the ground and audio wires on the jacks on my build!!! 🥲

    Pcbguitarmania vu-tron

    I can confirm the Lemon Rockverb doesn't work, as well as a few others (Cosmic Echo/Delay, anyone? LOL). I realized my mistake ordering there after buying a big stack of PCBs on sale there, as I had built a few of his circuits, all working properly (Acapulco Gold, Disaster Transport Jr., Bellows...

    Pcbguitarmania vu-tron

    I had that PCB (Vu-Tron) lying around for a very long time. I just built it with the original document, which is from March 2020, that I had printed back when I ordered it (about 2 years ago - never been any revision as it seems), which is the one that is still online. For once (to my...

    PCBGuitarMania Submarine Device (EQD The Depths)

    I did the bicolor LED / Toggle thing. One side didn't work. Never understood why. I read a few other persons having the same problem with their builds. So I guess you've been right avoiding it... :) Anyway, nice work, man. Everytime I come around here I see your builds, and they always look...

    It's my PedalPCB-iversary. Tell me your fav pedal + build tip.

    Loving the Duocast, the Squidward, the Carbon Black Fuzz, the Organizer and the Gravitation. Those are the ones I'm having fun with at the moment. My favorites must be the Low Tide Modulator, the Spatialist and the Dark Rift Delay, which all became mainstays. Next on the list are a Minnow, a...

    Pot values on Bellum Fuzz MKI?

    Hi. I just built one and have exactly the same problem with the Drive knob. It's totally usable as I guess I won't turn the knob while playing guitar, and even with synths I guess it's not the knob that I would necessarily turn when playing. But still, I was wondering : did anyone find out the...

    Saturnine - 470nF electrolytic capacitor?

    I know that both are the same value ! (Or it might explain why most of my recent builds are not working yet :ROFLMAO:). The smallest electrolytic capacitor I ever used was 1uF, I guess, that's why I was wondering. And then was the necessity of polarization that was making me wonder. Wouldn't...

    Saturnine - 470nF electrolytic capacitor?

    Well I ordered some caps and they will be here with the pots, so I guess I'll go with the polarized ones for this time, but it's good to know it's not a need for next time! :)

    Saturnine - 470nF electrolytic capacitor?

    Thank you for replying. It's always interesting understanding a little bit better how this is working. As I ordered both together, I'll use them both, as intended.

    Saturnine - 470nF electrolytic capacitor?

    Alright... To whoever might read this someday with the same questions in mind. I just ordered a bunch of 470nF electrolytic caps and a W20k pot. As I need this one to sound as close as possible to the original, that was the safe way to go, I guess...

    Saturnine - 470nF electrolytic capacitor?

    Hello all. I am currently building a Saturnine and I am wondering one thing. Is the 470nF cap correct? Wouldn't it be a 470uF instead? I simply never saw a 470nF cap yet, though I'm sure it must exist. Also, I don't have no 470nF electrolytic cap (can order, of course), but, if that's correct...

    SOLVED Leprechaun expression jack wiring

    Thanks a lot. It's been very useful here tonight. I also got it from Musikding, with the same TRS jack, and was going to ask Klaus as I was going nuts. Now I have a leprechaun throwing up rainbows on my couch. And it sounds great by the way. 🌈
