I regularly have a strong desire to add an expression input to builds but always find it difficult mainly because shoving a switched TRS jack impossible for space reasons. Anyone have any tips or ideas for different jacks that would work?

I'm trying to read and understand more schematics. Looking at the Spirit Box - why are there regulators for each the pt2399 and the Belton Brick when they're both L05/5V? Why not tie them to the same rail? I'm guessing there's something simple I'm missing here so I'd love to know!

Hey All! I made a promise to myself that I would get through my backlog of half working/unfinished pedals before I spent any more money on parts so ... (I'm sure I'm not the only one here) I started this Super Heterodyne months ago but it wasn't working right off the bat and I didn't have the...

Hey Friends - Finally getting back in the swing of things after moving around and setting up a new office/workspace. I got the parts for the Whipped Cream and finally put it together. Unfortunately, it did not work on first try. After some debugging, it looked like there was some kind of...

Hey Folks, after a little catchup on other (guitar-building) projects I'm back catching up on a backlog of boards. The photon vibe came together quickly but it seems like either I have an issue with the LFO circuit or the bulb itself. I get a signal when engaged or not, and a boosted signal with...

Not really a question but I have a strong tip/recommendation for anyone trying to build any circuit that uses LM13700N ICs (ie many phasers). Build the CDXL Reissue Envelope Filter first and use it as a test circuit! Previously I struggled in getting an AionFX Redshift/Whetstone phaser to...

Hey Yall! Been busy at my normal job so my "night job" of building pedals and posting them has taken a hit. Thanks to all the helpful comments here and just a steady diet of building and debugging I will say that I've gotten so much better at diagnosing problems. In this case, I have my first...

I finally got all the parts I needed for my build. Put it together today, carefully plugged it in and nada. Bypass works, but no LEDs, no sound when engaged. I tested continuity around the power section and seemed ok? I'm nervous to test voltages. Any ideas? The LEDs should still work whether...

Very excited to do my first tube build soon! Any tips on sourcing good EF86? I saw that amplifiedparts has a bunch of different ones, any specifically recommended? Or should I go the eBay route? Thanks!!

Don't have space for a full-blown oscilloscope on my bench currently, but I was wondering if anyone has used any MacOS apps for this purpose? I mainly want to test some LFO circuits I've been playing with.

Hello! I thought I'd start back with a relatively easy build but this one has me stumped! I have a sunflower fuzz that works fine for bypass but no sound when engaged. At first I thought it might be the transistors or the bias, but when I tried probing with my multimeter I realized I seem to be...

Hey Everyone! It's been kind of a while as I had to pack up all my things and move. Finally set up in my new "lab" and having fun. Built a couple things the past two weeks but nothing finished except for this beautiful new friend. This is my first time using a pedalpcb faceplate and it looks...

(sorry I'm totally bombarding the builds as I'm about to move and packing up all my gear for a little while ...) This was a super fun build! I bought a bunch of germanium sets the last time small bear had a sale including a Tone Bender matched set and so I was craving building a simple classic...

A lot of folks on here mentioned how the Hydra is the most fun/best delay around these parts and watching the TPS show about Echorecs I couldn't resist. Not much to say about the actual build. I took the advice from @JamieJ's build and used an A100K for the mix and clipped pin 3. Works great...

Just finished my first hydra build and wow, how awesome does it sound (full build report coming later). It has me thinking, has anyone tried to build an 8 head hydra? Not sure how useful it would be but maybe you could do a stereo one? Is it possible to sync multiple fv-1 clocks with one of the...

Wow, well this pedal was quite a journey. At first, I got the initial PCB with the mounted rotary switch and that seemed to not work at all (something weird with the power line?) - anyway @PedalPCB was kind enough to send me a fixed/updated PCB with the rotary board. It went together well but...

Damn, I seem to be struggling lately! Trying not to get too discouraged since I did complete some other working things recently that I have yet to post (Hydra, Syncrohwah). My AionFX Redshift build is not working as in there is no sound when engaged. LEDs light up, secondary switch switches...

Ok! So I had posted that my flock fuzz was working but after watching some demos of the swarm and messing around for a bit it seems like it’s not actually working as it’s supposed to. Here’s a video: Basically, the fuzz part is clearly working but the octave knobs either hold a single not or...

Was excited to finally build this board after collecting the parts. I have the original board without the breakout for the rotary. Bypass works, but no sound or LED when I engage the switch. I saw a recent post with a similar issue so I tried all the things suggested there. The switch is wired...

I've had a mostly working Moonshot Tremolo on my bench for a while now and though 'It Works' with the gain knob at max it is still quieter than unity. This might be normal (?) but seems weird with two op-amps in there. I'm guessing there's some R value I can tweak somewhere or maybe tweak the...
