Mach 1

[ADAOCE]

Just finished up this Mach 1 and realized I bought 2.5 mm plugs... guess I have to wait until I get a new plug to test it out (I usually don’t rock before I box... maybe I’ll start lol).

Shit I think I wired the dc plug backwards.. lucky I had the wrong size plug...

If you have alligator clips you can test it from a 9v battery directly to the PCB. Do you have them? Alternative would be if you have a DC jack from a different build to swap out temporarily.

I don’t typically use the switch plugs so I misread the schematic and I checked it with an older build using one of these and it was backwards. Probably would have fried something if I plugged it in!

Every pedalpcb board (that I’ve seen) includes a 1N5817 diode in series with the power input. This will prevent any damage to the pedal with wrong power supply (not all commercial pedals / diy pcbs from other sites / vero layouts have this feature, so generally should be careful).

I vaguely remember hearing this in a different post at one point thanks for confirming

Luckily PedalPCB had your back with the protection diode. Phi1, I put them on my Vero builds because shit happens.

Other than the power plug screw-up, nice job!
