Hey Everyone, I am trying to figure out how to mount two PCBs into a smaller 1590BB enclosure rather than a 4S6500 / 1590XX. Does anyone have any suggestion or examples of their builds?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew what resistor this was on the Informant drive schematic? It was modded by 1981 to have less gain. Before I take it apart I just wanted to ask. There are resistor leads poking out of the bottom of the board. That is why I am assuming this is the resistor they...

Hey quick question for everyone. I have noticed on mouser when ordering electrolytic capacitors, there is an “audio grade” filter. So, my question is, is there a difference from “audio grade” and general purpose ?

Hey Everyone, I have a few questions regarding pedal modding best practices. Usually when I modify a pedal, I just change values of components and use the existing pcb holes, but sometimes, a mod requires components to be soldered to a pot/ switch off of the pcb and wired to another component...

Hey Everyone, I heard a few months ago that the chauffeur was updated to have more volume. I have been trying to figure out the best way to do this. Would changing R17 to a lower value, or change the value of R18 be a good place to start.

Hey everyone, I am trying to mod a lightspeed and want to add a king of tone style presence knob to it. Would it work to just super impose how the Kot did it into the lightspeed, or is there another better way to do it.

I recently made a skeptical buffer and it works fine. I started messing with my strymon timeline and when I switched to any delay type other than analog and tape delay, I notice some form of oscillation. I have had issues with charge pumps and the timeline in the past.So, I just avoid pedals...

I had an idea for a utility pedal and wanted to get other peoples opinion before delving into the deep end of R&D and learning how to design pcb boards. Basically, I want to design a buffer, tone shaper, boost pedal that allows you to switch on and off the tone shaper boost section, but leave...

Hey, I built a nobelium a few weeks ago and It appeared to work, but while playing through it, the low E string Distorts/ farts out when played hard. When I heard this, I unplugged the jack from the input and a loud squeal came from the speakers. I am using a one spot for power supply with 9v...

I am building a Sandspur Fuzz and the transistor sockets that I ordered are too large to fit on the PCB. The spacing of the pins on the transistor socket are too far apart for the PCB. Does anyone know what sockets will fit?

Built myself a few Son of Ben Preamps. I initially built the blue one and compared it to my original Benson Preamp and there was a very little discernable difference. The bulk of the difference was probably due to component tolerances. Other than that, the pedals sound just like the original...

Hey Everyone, I have build a few Pro-10 dual overdrives before that were successful. This time, I build the pro-10 green and everything turns on and volume and gain work fine, but the sound is very muddy. I figured that there is an issue with a filtering capacitor, or I used the wrong value...

Hey does anyone have a taya UV printing layout for a three knob pedal?just looking for the text for the volume , tone ,and gain knobs, in and out indicators , and voltage indicator? I don’t have adobe illustrator so I figured I would ask someone on here.

Hey, I was wondering how to bias the J201 transistors for the Super 64? Currently I set the voltage going into the drain to 9.3.

Here is the build of my Pro-10. It is a very tight fit. I found that you can not use dust caps on the pots underneath the input and output jacks. Also, neutrik jacks did not work. The only style of jacks that fit were the ones I have in the build.

I was wondering what the benefit is to grounding the enclosure? If there is a benefit, how would you do this with a pedal PCB circuit board?
