Pedal unrelated… Does anyone have a link to, or an image of, a true schematic of a traditional Strat circuit. Not a wiring diagram (there’s thousands of those online) but a bona fide electronic schematic, showing the input jack, pots, caps, switch, etc. — just like something Mr. Bugg would...

Finally got round to boxing my dual Victory V1 Kraken (PedalPCB) and The Jack (John) pedal. I am such a huge fan of these pedals, and having built the Kraken, Jack and Cobbler as individual pedals, I decided to create a "channel switching" dual pedal. Was going to do a 3-channel box for all 3...

I'm about to start boxing my dual Victory (Cetus and John) pedal, controlled by PedalPCB intelligent relay boards. That means 9V needs to go to 4 boards in the enclosure. Since both pedal circuits use charge pumps to goose the voltage up to 18V, and I have an inherent distrust in charge pumps...

What’s up with the LED A-K marking on the back of this relay board? The top of the board is marked for a 2N3904 transistor, but the back has anode and cathode marked for 2 of the holes. Just confirming this is a printing mistake on the back of the board, and I should only solder the 3904…?

Hi folks, I'd like to change the frequency of the 800Hz slider on an old Boss GE-7 to 750Hz (my favorite slider on the Mesa-Boogie EQ). Since the 10K slider can't change, can anyone provide me with exact value changes I'd need - assuming one or more of C5, C6, R6 and R7 will need to change...

I need the collective brain power of this fine forum please to help me solve this... I have two PedalPCB pedals - a Kliche Mini (Klon), and a Cetus (Victory Kraken). I'd like to think I build quality pedals, with clean soldering, and clean, minimal wiring. Both pedals use a charge pump to...

I finished up my third in the series of Victory V1 pedals last night - The Jack, AKA The Joker. Built the PedalPCB Cetus (Kraken) a few months ago, The Cobbler (The Copper) and now the Jack on Vero. Loving using each of these pedals. The Copper is 100% Vox AC30, and has become my "almost"...

Here’s my concept (probably not that original)… I’ve built 3 Victory V1 pedals that I really like. I’d like to emulate the channel switching of a 3-channel amp - P1 (clean); P2 (crunch); P3 (lead). Like the channel switching on an amp, I want 3 foot switches, and whichever one I stomp on, it...

There was a question recently about getting a rockabilly tone, and the suggestion came up for the Roland Space Echo (BS-301) preamp (Brain Seltzer "Noctune" pedal). I was intrigued by this, so looked up the schematic and breadboarded it. It sounded surprisingly good, even though 1) I'm not...

Haven't posted any builds in a while, so I figured I show a couple of really golden builds! PedalPCB Kliché Mini, and a vero build of the Colombo Plexi Breed. Of course, the PedalPCB builds are always super-clean, but I guess I did OK with the Plexi Breed, especially with the amount of...

I present to you... The Krakhead - the Kraken V1 high gain preamp pedal. Built it earlier this week, but finally got round to doing the enclosure and wrapping things up today. This is a killer pedal! Such a usable range of gain - from classic metal, to scooped high gain distortion. Great with...

Finished my Mystery Meat this morning... and it's quite tasty! :) Fired it up last night, and nothing. Really!? After my first PedalPCB build about 3 years ago, I have a 100% success rate with PedalPCB's, so obviously an operator error. Not having the build docs or schematic to reference, I...

Hi, Any chance the Cetus/Kraken BOM is available yet? Placing an order for the Mystery Meat parts, so would love to include these parts as well. Thanks!

I'm a sucker for 80's chorus tones, and have built many PT2399-based chorus pedals. But the thing that irks me every time I use these pedals is the predelay/slapback effect you always get with these circuits. Some designers exploit that as a feature (e.g., the EQD Sea Machine's Dimension and...

My recent Kliche Mini has a higher noise floor than I'd like. It's definitely not bad, but the noise/hiss/hum is there, starting from about 10 o'clock. Which components would likely be the main culprit of noise? I know it's likely a combination of components, but without replacing/rebuilding...

Been a while since I've built with PedalPCB boards - they're too easy - I like to fight with vero! ;) Anyway, after the trouble I described in the Troubleshooting forum with my Glory Hole (ouch! - someone had to say that!) - I figured I'd redeem myself with a Klone build last night. This Kliché...

I’ll preface this by saying I’m an experienced builder, so have gone through the usual troubleshooting. When turning down the gain pot, the last 5% of rotation kills the volume. Also, at the lowest gain setting (before it kills the volume) it’s still pretty gritty, and goes up to really dirty at...

Tayda has been out of 120nF box caps for a while now, and only have greenies. I don't mind using those, but anyone know what size they're shipping these days (not shown on the specs.) Last year I ordered 120nF greenies from them, and they were massive.

Been a while since I've posted anything here... Built as a request for someone - a delay/reverb dual pedal. Should have been a no-brainer, but two things got me - one bad TL072 (and of course, I decided to not socket them this time!) and an issue with one of the 3PDT boards (probably "operator...

I noticed in the Cheesemonger Fuzz board, it uses a CD4066 switch chip, and a boatload of 1N4148 diodes. This is very different to several of the other Big Cheese type circuits available, which don't use the CD4066 IC , or all the diodes (but do use the TL072 and 3 2N3904's.) How close is this...
