    SOLVED Help - EHX Small Clone Toasty after DC jack swap

    Hello! I have an EHX Small Clone that I am switching out the old positive tip 2.1mm jack for a negative tip Boss style PSA jack. I did the switch and the pedal will power up but I'm getting no signal. The pedal works in bypass mode with or without power plugged in. But, when I engage the...

    Electrovibe Standby Switch

    Howdy! I was wondering if it would be possible to install a standby switch on the Electrovibe? The purpose would be to save the bulb from burning out of the pedal is plugged in all the time. My thought is similar to an amp with standby, it’ll have 9V supplied to it all the time, but when it’s...

    Electrovibe Deadish - Part Trois

    Hello fine friends! Well I don't know what the heck is up now. I had the pedal working great, I boxed it up and even posted a build report. Then all of a sudden it just went to crap. The only mods I've done is to replace R4 with a 2M2 implemented with some sockets. What I have now is signal in...

    Electrovibe Build

    Cool pedal. Not an easy build but really fun. I tried putting a 2M2 into R4 and it totally killed the chorus output (effect and sound), oddly enough not the vibrato channel, so I’m going back to the 47k. Seemed kind of weird since that was a recommended value. I probably dorked something else...

    Multi-Head Tape Delay (Hydra)

    Zomg ... what a beast! Sounds lush. Tapestries of aural pleasure. I borrowed the design from @cooder because it was so dang clean and lovely to look at. Used the no-film water slide tutorial to print the media and install it (here) 2m30s of quasi-random noodling @

    SOLVED Electrovibe Deadish - Part Deux

    Howdy folks, As I've moved on to other testing and troubleshooting for the nifty Electrovibe I'm running into some new problems. Namely, the "intensity" of the vibrato and chorus are basically not present. I have followed the DK Pedals tweaking method (here) and the Madbean Pedal Harbinger...

    SOLVED Hydra - Deadish?

    Hello team PPCB! I just finished my Hydra build last night. Sick looking pedal and pretty easy to put together except that VF-1 chip. Man that was fun to solder on. I dipped the feet in flux and used a wide "blade" tip and that seemed to really work well and make the job easy. Okay, so, why is...

    Electrovibe Board Scan - Top/Bottom

    Hello! Does anyone have a hi-res scan of the top and bottom of the Electrovibe board. I'm having a hard time seeing the traces while working on the board and it would help to have something I could print out to look at while looking. Thanks!

    SOLVED Electrovibe - Deadish?

    Howdy folks, I'm at the testing phase of my Electrovibe build and it hasn't been an easy go. I'm not quite certain what's going on with this guy. I have no LEDs but there is power to the board. I have verified +9.25vdc at the power supply, at the board, and from + to the first diode I have...

    Queen Bee Overdrive (KoT)

    This is the same guts from my last one but I decided to change the theme on it. I'm still loving the sound. Decided not to make any additional tweaks. It is stacked behind a clean boost (PedalPCB Ember) and Klon clone (AionFX Klon w/ DB9 diodes).

    WTB: MN3008

    Howdy! I'm in the market for some MN3008s if you have any spares laying around to let go for a reasonable price + shipping. There's a delay pedal I'm keen to build that requires this specific chip.

    Electrovibe Wiring Diagram

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but I cannot find the ElectroVibe build docs. I cobbled together what I could from the site: BOM, drill template and schematic but a wiring diagram is definitely helpful to me as a noob. It’s not an exact one to one wiring the switches onto the board. Speed...

    Paragon with MA858 and 1S1588

    As the title says! I just got this boxed up and tested tonight. All clipping is turned off as I don't like too much distortion. It has original MA858 and 1S1588 diodes. Sounds perfect to my ears! The noodling is unforgivable but you know how it be! The enclosure it's in now is temporary. I...

    SOLVED Fixing lifted pot pads?

    Hello! Eek! I’m putting the final touches on my paragon and I accidentally lifted two of the pads on the b25k pot. Is this a big deal? Can I just shove the wires in and fill them up with solder or do I have to do some surgery? I’ve never fixed a pad before. Please advise!

    New to Illustrator - question on working with certain objects

    Hello! I am working on some cover art for a Madbeans Pedal Total Recall (EHX Deluxe Memory Man) and using the indicator objects from our friend at Pachyderm Pedals. Because the vector art that I'm using for the Memory Man pedal is a mixture of black and transparent, I'm having a hard time...

    Presenting 'Blue Crush' - parallel optical compressor

    Built from an AionFX Convex PCB. I had originally done a stupid 'orange juice' motif following the crowd. I decided to try my hand at some better design principles and came up with this. I was going to use a more traditional Japanese wave style of art. But, the vector files were so difficult to...

    Madbean Total Recall Enclosure size recommendations?

    Hello! I've sourced all of my components, luckily I had a lot of them, but still have $100 worth of stuff speeding to my house. Damn the BBDs were expensive! Anyway, what size enclosure do I use? The build docs specify 1509BB Tall but I cannot find any vendor that sales them. Any ideas?

    Presenting Celestial Centaur

    Squee! AionFX Klon clone with D9E diodes. No film waterslide decal as recommended in this PedalPCB post. I had to wait about a month to get the diodes shipped from Ukraine. Overall, I am happy with it but I am going to re-do it. As you can see, some of the color transfer didn't take and it...

    First full build w/ decorated pedal hey dude

    Hey folks, Just built this tasty clone of the TC Spark, which I call a Valve Spark. I used all of the standard components but opted for OPA2134s for ICs. This thing sounds absolutely sweet. The image is a waterslide decal and I am not happy with it. I think I will re-do it with a film-less...

    Which OPA2134?

    Hello! Checking out Mouser and Digikey there are so many variants of the OPA2134z this chip is required for the PedalPCB Ember. Does anyone have a suggestion on which one(s) to get? The pcb needs three and they are kind of pricey so I want to get it right the first time. Thanks!
