This seems to be a cool mod for JMs and some other guitars. It sounds almost like a harmonic tremolo but is inbuilt into the guitar. But it also seems pretty expensive. Has anyone seen this reverse engineered anywhere? The unit itself seems to be pretty small with multiple surface mounted...

I seem to remember that there was work on a self biasing fuzz that used a different method from the Benson fuzz. Is this the one? I can't seem to find much info about it.

So my pinecil soldering iron didn't seem to last long (2-3 months). Of course, it only had a 30 day warranty. It stopped powering up with a 5v USBC and then it burnt out a more powerful USB C power adapter. So I switched to the DC barrel adaptor. I didn't notice but the temp was not...

I've been trying to use the search engine but can't find a certain post that had a Tayda link to pins that were suggested for use with the JFET adapter boards. I built an M800 and realized that 2 or 3 of the J201s have super skinny pins from the ends clipped off resistors / caps. These don't...

Bit of a long shot. I had a dual D1M pot in my saved Tayda Cart but it has now become out of stock with no apparent ETA. I had screwed up and forgot to order it the last round (along with several other parts!). I had another round of stuff to order with Tayda but looks like I took too long...

Hi everyone. For some stupid reason, I thought the toggle switch on the simulcast was for the voltage. I just had a look at the build docs and realized it is for gain. I've read here that if you leave out the IC, it will be 7-9v and will be more Fuzz like in character. I think that I might...

I probably should have read the forums a bit more and ordered the extra trimpots for the ChopShop. I only played it for a few minutes but noticed the same things that others mentioned (ie., Sag didn't make a big difference and it doesn't go completely clean). Will have to look through the...

Have only played with this a few min. I like it. I can't help but wonder if these pedals will sound different through an amp. I am using Helix native through an interface because my pre-ordered amp is still sitting in a port. From what little time I spent with this, I can see the appeal. It...

This one was the 2nd build and worked first go. It is a cool overdrive. =6&hash=026dd325196c995b37b311869d33f09b']Attach files

Well this was the first build. I initially had some output but the pedal was way too quiet overall. I turned a few knobs and then it completely stopped outputting sound. I was using a crappy iron for most of this. The level pot might be the issue.

I am about halfway through this build. I remember reading about biasing this and can see older build reports with small internal pots for biasing. The most recent PCB doesn't seem to have the trim pots. So does this mean there is no way to bias the J201s? Or has it been figured out so that...

I didn't see a tayda drill template associated with the build docs with the Hydra. I had an idea to add an effects loop to the Hydra and bought one of those buff and blend circuits. I think I am a bit over my head but I am trying to get the parts and pcbs for the next year or so. I assume I...

I initially assumed adding an effects loop would be easy but then realized that there might be impedance issues. I assume this would require buffer/gain circuit in the "send". I also thought about a loop pedal that has a loop plus dry signal mixed. I looked at the dual loop project here but...

There are a few PCBs I noticed have been in the "arriving soon" state for a while. Is there a typical time interval before a batch of different PCBs gets created? I assume, that these get made up every few weeks based on the website stock but I noticed some pcbs are restocked whereas others are...

I've run into a bit of a problem with the Tayda drill tool for the Clandestine preamp. I am sure it will get solved but it got me thinking if I could have gotten away with the pre-drilled 3 hole 125b. The holes are off by a few mm. I am not sure if you can bend the potentiometer tabs to...

I keep getting an error with one the custom drill template for the clandestine preamp (template was provided from here). It says "Insufficient Drill Quantity." when I try to submit it. The pedal only requires 1 vol knob and 1 switch + 1 footswitch. Is that the issue? Any suggestions?

This is sort of just to confirm how the measurements for the co-ordinates work from the centre point of the pedal? There is a pedal I want to build from Aion effects but they don't have a kit or pre-drilled enclosure. Their drill templates are unfortunately in imperial and all measurements...

I was wondering about the preprogrammed chips. For those that are knowledgeable in this area, I was wondering if algorithms can be extracted from existing pedals and loaded up? The neunaber wet reverb is an FV1 pedal from what I remember. I am pretty sure there are multiple delays and verbs...

I was recently reading the main difference with a 1959 and JCM800 is the gain stages were separate in the 1959. I assume that means the PCBs for the PAL800 and PAL959 would be quite close? Has anyone tried to figure out how to mod one of the 800 PCBs into a 959???

Hi everyone. For some reason, I am finding the pedal graphic design a bit painful in terms of my short attention span. The first pedal I tried create in affinity is all black. I read somewhere that you are supposed to have a white layer underneath but I think that was for printing colours...
