    Quick question: does anyone know the biggest knob size Tayda have?

    I've got a one knobber going in a 125b. I'd like the largest knob I could get (wouldn't we all). So far I've seen they do a 37mm but that's just not going to satisfy. Can I get a bigger knob?

    Khdk Ascendancy drive

    Kirk Hammett Donkey Kong have made a drive pedal limited to 333 units in conjunction with the guitar people from Trivium. Say what you want but their guitar tone since Shogun has been pretty sweet (5150 boosted with a Maxon od). Now Kirk or Donkey are making a pedal based on that tone...

    DPDT orientation?

    This is just to help with labeling the enclosure: If the switch bat is up, is that pointing to lugs A1/B1, or lugs A3/B3 (top row or bottom row on the switch lugs:) ) Just trying to work out which way does what and the Tayda datasheet isn't much help. These guys btw...

    C taper question

    They're called reverse taper. Does that mean you need to wire them 'backwards' for them to follow the usual logic of clockwise = more? I thought it was just a different taper with a confusing name but I don't get to see C taper pots much. Now I'm designing a thing based loosely off the dod 250...

    Baxendall calculator?

    Just wondering if there's anything out there like the Duncan tone stack but for 3 band baxendall stacks? I'm trying to fine tune a tone stack or two but can't fathom the formulae to work out the frequencies being affected. Anyone know of anything? Online or otherwise.

    Voltage swing. Dying electrolytics?

    Got a pedal here on which the voltage (measured at pin 8 of a dual opamp so should be supply voltage) gradually climbs, taking the vref with it. Upon plugging in it's around 9.4v, then gradually increases until it gets to around 10.8v and seemingly tops out then it fluctuates between...

    Recording pedal demos through interface?

    I've got an audient id14, I've got a bunch of pedals that's need demos. When I put a fuzz pedal in front of the interface in the daw and record it sounds like shit, fizzy and flat, which is obviously the opposite of what we're looking for. Even with the gain on the interface at zero it's...

    Do we fill via holes with solder?

    Just curious. Are they already connected or do they need a blob of solder in there?

    Ferrite beads?

    Somehow I have some in a parts drawer. How can I implement them in pedal builds? Do they take the place of the wire running from +9 to the board 9v pin?

    Bi-colour LED wiring?

    Bear with me a sec. Grr. So I've got a distortion pedal. I'd like to have 2 volume controls that you can switch between, kinda working like amp channels I guess. Set one quiet, set one loud and it's sort of an inbuilt boost (almost). The easiest method I could think up was this: Just your...

    Predrilled 1590bb

    For the bigger stuff like rainbow machine, paragon, etc it would be very handy to have a matching enclosure available from Tayda ready to go. I find the drilling (especially on the top) a bit of a crapshoot and most of the drilling templates don't list measurements. Is it possible to convince...

    Hotcake 2020

    It has some switchable mods for the xlf (bass version) and the cream mod (probably a cap change). It might be the same thing otherwise.

    Taller 1590bb from Tayda?

    I'm trying to find an enclosure that's the same dimensions as a 1590bb but with a few extra mm in height, and available from Tayda since they print and ship to my lonely corner of the globe. I can see the 1590xx but that's too big. Is there anything you guys are aware of that would fit the bill?

    Little question about the Breakout Boards

    Would it be feasible to just run a 1m (for example) pull down resistor from the IN the GND pads/lugs on the board to save space on the effect PCB?

    PedalPCB dual pedal drilling templates anywhere?

    Specifically I'm looking to install a couple of 3 knob pedals in a 1590xx or 1590bb. I wondered if there'd be a drilling template I can just send to Tayda rather than guessing?

    Remove indicator led from Moonshot

    It looks like if you remove/jumper r13, r14, d2 you wouldn't have the always on indicator light. Is that correct or is it d1, r11, and r12 you'd omit?

    Moonshot Tremolo LDR Led?

    The BOM shows a GL5516 LDR is recommended. They've got a wavelength response of 550nm, yet a red LED (in the BOM also) is 650-700nm, meaning the LDR will operate at about 60-70% efficiency. A green LED's wavelength is bang on 550nm, which matches the 5516 specs. So, why not use the green? Is...

    Tayda double enclosures?

    Are you guys buying the larger boxes and drilling them yourselves? Or is there a section somewhere in taydas site for drilled enclosures with 2 switches and pot arrangements?

    Hot cake presence control

    I'm searching for a minimal tone control (treble cut/boost) and this caught my eye. If I'm reading the right schematic it looks like it's a 22k pot into a 56n cap, working as a variable low pass filter before it goes to the output. Is that the essence of it? I see the other rc network...
