    Simulcast with a transformer bypass switch

    Howdy folks! This was a pedal I always wanted to try as I'm a fan of Ariel Posen, who I think used it and has a signature version of it. I was also quite curious to see if the transformer makes much of a difference in the circuit as I know a fair amount of folks have said it does not and I'd...

    SOLVED tayda UV printing issues lately

    This isn't really circuit related, but has anybody had issues with Tayda's print quality lately? I just got some enclosures where the white layer printed as gray. From double checking the uv template it still seems to be using the specifc RDG_WHITE swatch they require so I'm left to assume it's...

    Jfet Boost - Low Volume

    Howdy folks, I got the boost working but I'm subbing out some of its key parts so I wouldn't be surprised if that's led to this potentially low output of the pedal. I'm currently using a pair of 2N5457's and a TL072 of sketchy origin. For anyone that's familiar with the 29 pedals jfet boost or...

    ICL7660SCPAZ vs TC1044SCPA

    Howdy folks, been messing around with 7660SCPAZ lately and have found them better in almost everyway to the 1044's I had been using. I don't know if there's any downsides to the 7660SCPAZ yet but they seem to play much nicer with power supplies than 1044's so if there's any trade offs folks...

    Thru Hole substitute for 2SK3557 for the Skeptical Boost?

    I'm curious if anyone's made this pedal using through hole parts for their jfets, would something as common as a 2N5457 work? Or J201?

    SOLVED Germanium II Distortion woes - No Sound

    My Germanium II Distortion doesn't seem to pass sound and I'm quite confused by it. If anyone sees anything obviously wrong I'm just missing please let me know. This is my first time using that buffer switch pcb on the footswitch, I tried to see if maybe I mounted it upside down?

    SOLVED Deadend FX Vital Spark some issues

    It's kinda working! but there's some issues. I don't notice the effect unless I set it to dual lfo mode with the left footswitch. I have no idea with the rotary knobs do, but that might just be the pedal. it's a lovetone clone so it's kind of a weirdo effect lol. I know this isn't a pedalpcb...
