That and I think the second pedal I ever tried to make was some sort of PT2399 delay on veroboard, vastly over-estimating my own abilities and blissfully unaware of how PT2399's can be a little finnicky and whatnot. i don't think I've attempted anything with them since then and that was 15+...

I'm sure it will probably be the stupidest/simplest thing you'll hear mentioned here, but.... I've got the carcass of a simple passive A/B switch that's been sitting on my desk for probably two years now. I've tried to assemble it half a dozen times and each time something new ain't right. It's...

I like BA282 for Bluesbreaker type builds and PPCB does sell those as well I believe. But to be honest maybe my ears are crap but I don't think I've ever noticed a meaningful difference between diode "families". By the time I've swapped another set in I've already forgotten what the last sounded...

Priority padded envelopes if I've got a box small enough to fit inside.... Or I just reuse Amazon boxes. My household seems to have a constant stream of Amazon deliveries showing up, I'm never running out of those.... Also I don't know if it's entirely kosher or not but the padded envelopes...

Hi all, Just a (hopefully) quick two-part question. I've built the Pro-10 Dual OD ages ago. Today I was wondering: Would it be possible to retrofit it with relay bypass (soft-touch switches)? 1. Will they fit? Quick back-of-the-napkin math seems like there is enough width for two relay...

I'm gonna be honest, I've used both the "regular" and the "easy drilling" (or whatever they call it) and never noticed a lick of difference Maybe for folks who are dealing with a ton of enclosures in volume would notice, or perhaps a direct side-by-side comparison would reveal the differences...

Just a basic b with a big sky over here

Heck yeah, I dig that. I must admit I'm a sucker for the sand finishes @ Tayda. And yeah.... LOVE the Barber stuff. @MattG 's "Dynamic Haircut" / Gain Changer is one of my mainstays and I've got an old LTD build that I kick around fairly frequently. Anywho this inspired me to kick over to...

I've always wanted to try one! I remember reading years ago that it was one of the top affordable picks over at Ovnilab (now defunct) which put it on my radar in the first place.

Maybe call this a potential pre-troubleshooting… Hopefully just a quick question. Anyone who’s built the Chauffeur… can you tell me how the volume and gain are supposed to interact? On mine, when the gain is zeroed out there’s no volume either. It seems like the volume is pretty dependent on...

This guy does NOT miss

That is rad!! If you used a little sliver of mahogany or ash or something you could honestly probably sell it to some cork sniffers for the “tonewood” pcb lol

So if I'm tracking correctly, you already got the Fender Ultra Vintage Noiseless tele pickups? If so, two things of note, perhaps.... First is - as I understand it - they already have a separate ground wire for the pickup cover. Double check this, but I'm pretty sure the green wire already...

Cutting disc on dremel, or if you're really in a pinch a thin cutting disc on an angle grinder has certainly taken care of it for me before :P

Tayda had a real knack for posting their coupon codes the day after you placed a big order anyways, so probably not really missing out on much. :p

These type of pedals/gadgets are a big vice of mine. I love building stuff with all sorts of wacky routing and zany possibilities and this and that... Last time I built a pedalboard I made it with a built-in A/B switcher for multiple guitars, two separate insert/"audition" points for trying out...

I may very well have missed it but this is one that got me very stoked a while back when you dropped this here...any status update for us?? 🙏🙏🙏

I had them in an old amp years ago (ac30) and it did seem to work nicely for me. Might’ve been placebo but they’re so cheap there’s basically no downside to trying imo

That's kinda what I was going to say. If I use a good sharp pair of flush/diagonal cutters you can get things pretty clean with that alone - cut the wires off but also I've found if there's enough solder left on the pot for the cutters to "grab" you can cut right through that as well. Ends up...

First thing that came to mind for me as well.. Low parts count and nothing unusual or hard-to-find. (well, calls for OPA2134 but you can slap a 4558 or TL072 in there and it'll be just fine IMO) Doesn't care about fancy diodes, nothing needing biased or etc. Sounds really good and fit in just...
