I created a quick how-to presentation that show roughly what I do to get the coordinates for Tayda drill templates. I use the method in the attached and a basic caliper to get the X,Y coordinates from the center of the drill template. Just make sure you print the document at 100% size. I'm...

I got you. The X,Y coordinates were measured from the template and the diameters are good values that I have used before, but please double check the diameters for your preferred components. I added the 0.2mm for the powder coating to my diameters already...

I'll start off with the fact that I'm impatient and that is the only reason I'm considering this. The paragon PCB has been out of stock for a bit and I have all the components in hand to complete it. So, I'm instead considering buying two pauper PCB's, flipping one over so SW1 is symmetrical on...

The X,Y coordinated were all measured and should be accurate. I added the extra 0.2mm for powder coating. I used the stated diameter for SW1 from the tayda datasheet, I used 3mm for the LED indicator, I used 7.9mm diameter for the power plug. Please double check the diameters against what you...

Has anyone else noticed that the StewMac Ghost Drive pcb is the same as the kliché? To my eyes it appears to be identical, but in red.

I can't tell just by ear, so how can I figure out which selection on the rotary switch corresponds to which effect?

I build the Andromeda deluxe and love almost everything about it. When I engage the switch, it pops through the amplifier. I tried adding the delay circuit described here with no difference. This starting additional testing and while troubleshooting, I noticed that the pop occurs with nothing...

I just completed my first surface mount soldering and I'm interested if anyone knows of a way to test them before I finish populating the board. I'd like to know if my solder joints are good before it gets too cluttered to fix them. I'm building the golden falk overdrive.

I used 3mm diameter LEDs for the bypass and rate indicator and the larger diameter panel mount power jack. I had a small alignment issue with the rate LED, but I was able to wiggle it into the correct hole without too much trouble...

I built the Trembling Loon last night. It worked wonderfully right from power-up. I sourced all the components from Tayda and used the 10K to 20K LDR here as a substitute to the LDR called out in the build documentation. The rate indicator LED didn't line up exactly as expected but I may have...

125B enclosure. You may need to adjust the power and LED hole size to what you plan to use. I added the +.2mm to the hole size for powder coating. https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=TnVjTWtPRnhheW1tYnBvemJqTTc2dz09Cg==

This was my third build and it went really well. I only had to fix the on/off indicator LED as I put it in the wrong way the first time. I guess now is when the overconfidence starts to set in and I'll doubtlessly be humbled in the near future 😆. The 2.2 uF and 1 uF WIMA caps I bought took more...

I wanted a MIAB pedal so I decided on the M800 for my first build. It took 4 days to get everything soldered and wired together. The offboard wiring gave me a bit of trouble with polarity of the input/output jacks, the DC jack I was using was grounding out the ring to the enclosure and had to be...

I just finished my first pedal, and everything seems to be working and sounding pretty good. I have lots of gain and volume on tap and the tone stack seems to work as expected as well. I don't have a baseline to judge this specific pedal however. When I was biasing the transistors, Q5 would...
