I'll try to get it posted today or tomorrow.
I used L78L15 because that's what other comparable vibes use. Chuck has mentioned (and is correct) that the 15V supply isn't quite high enough for the 15V regulator to actually do it's job and suggested as 12V regulator instead. (L78L12 would work fine)
I also used the 7371 lamp, but I used LDRs from Tayda for prototyping. The 7532 or 9203 are both most likely better choices.
I drilled all four corners with an 1/8" bit for reference then drilled a 1/2" hole in the center (starting with an 1/8" pilot hole).
Afterwards I squared it up with a square file from Harbor Freight. The whole (hole?
) process took maybe five minutes. I was much easier than I expected. Besides, with the faceplate it doesn't really matter if your cutout isn't 100% perfect.
8 In. Square File
Amazing deals on this 8In Square File at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.
@Bricksnbeatles suggested using a coping saw but I think for a hole this size the file works just as well.

I was wondering on the solder side, there are 2 pads labelled 1044. Do we bridge those if we are going to use the MAX1044 or is that for a 1M SMD resistor?
not sure about others but I printed out the picture of the PCB and went one by one writing down the components marking them off as I went

That’s how I did mine. Parts are arriving today, but my PedalPCB order is still in the mail. USA to Canada shipping is going super slow again lately

I got one of each of the 3 lamps Tayda sells so I could see which one works best, although I don’t expect a big difference. Might build a little lamp tester to see how well each of them glow before my build. Canada Post tells me to expect my PCB to arrive on Wednesday and I’ve only got a half day at work so I’ll probably have it built that evening and maybe an idea of which lamp is best.

Yes they have only 110vac
Where we can find some good lamps in europe?
Someone have used the vibe kit from banzai music?
They dont have spec about it on the web site.

Well, damn. At least I know now and not finding out while I’m building it. Time to hunt around for something that’ll fit the bill! *edit* for any other Canadians in my situation: Digi-Key is where you’ll find them the cheapest. $2ish each plus $8 shipping. Would’ve gone through Smallbear but they didn’t have any of the other items that I want in stock right now.

i was wondering if you could help me with hooking up the Vibe foot switch PCB to the main PCB . i noticed the vibe foot switch pcb has two more connections than are on the main PCB and i was not sure of the order it gets connected. i appreciate any help on this ,thank you for your time . im really excited to get this thing plugged in.
