    "Diode Rolling" on the Paragon Mini

    Greetings, Has anyone done any "diode rolling" in their Paragon (Mini)? I have a pedal wizard acquaintance who says to try IR LEDs in the hard clipping section. I very much enjoy asymmetrical clipping and put in diodes to give me a bit of that. IN 1 side has all BAS33 IN 2 side has BAS33 in...

    Noise from Cheapo J201? (Umble circuit)

    Alright... I admit I bought a 10-pack of J201s off of Amazon. With the Umble circuit, I'm getting quite a bit of noise when the pedal is engaged. Honestly, could this be due to the quality of (or lack of) the J201s or is the noise just the nature of that higher gain circuit? Thanks.

    Umble Drill Template

    Afternoon all... Does anyone have a drill template for the Umble circuit? I'm in the enclosure design phase, and I'd like to have something to work off of. Thanks.

    Argentum 1212 True Bypass?

    I’m mid-level at best when it comes to pedal building… That being said, does anyone know if the Argentum 1212 is true bypass? I don’t know if there’s a way to tell from the schematic. I did an A/B comparison between it and the Guardian project - and when the bypassed Argentum is in my signal...

    SOLVED Simulcast with no clipping?

    Morning, I just finished the "new revision" of the Simulcast. The pedal functions, but there seems to be absolutely no clipping whatsoever. I have successfully built 3 of the Duocasters (they sound great!), and was hoping to save some real estate on my board by switching to a Simulcast. When...

    Soft switch bypass help

    I genuinely gave effort in searching previous posts, but could not find any without being further confused. I have a customer asking for "soft bypass" switches in his requested pedal. I am not sure which relay board I need or which switch either. Other searching tells me to use "momentary...

    Sproing Deluxe Tremolo Issues

    Greetings. I just finished wiring up (not boxed yet) the Sproing Deluxe circuit. Reverb side sounds great! However, when I engage the tremolo side, there is a noticeable drop in dB and little to no perceived LFO (or trem effect). I looked at the circuit posted by another successful builder...

    18V compatible?

    Evening, I only have (2) 18V outlets left on my CS12 - and I would prefer not to use another Y-splitter. Can I safely run any of the following circuits at 18V? (I've added notes on my thoughts) Pyrocumulus (ThorpyFX Fallout Cloud) - ThorpyFX website says their pedals are designed to be run at...

    Pedal popping fixes??

    Good evening, I've used 3 different PCB manufacturers so far and I seem to encounter engagement popping with the majority of my PedalPCB builds (Modus Operandi, Transcendence, Arche, Shrapnel, Guardian, Magnetron, Spirit Box, Duocast, Ocelot, etc...). The circuits sound fantastic once they're...
