Missing Build Docs / Schematics

Is the Skeptical Buffer build doc coming soon? I was about to order the PCB but realized I can't order the parts without the BOM.

Skeptical Buffer

Skeptical Buffer NOTE -- If you use closed frame Switchcraft style 1/4" jacks you'll need to bend the lug slightly to avoid contact with the adjacent toggle switch lugs. Not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind when assembling. Open frame and Lumberg 1/4" jacks should have adequate...

The actual PCB is labeled. I built mine a mo their two ago. It is excellent. I made the bias external…

So it is! Thanks for letting me know. I must have been looking at a different PCB, thinking it was the Sergeant Fuzz.

That is my only minor gripe with PedalPCB boards, that they have a code (PCB551) rather than a name. A revision number would be nice too.


... actually, I was looking at the product page, which does not show component values:

Is there a cannon fodder MKI drill guide available or can someone point me to a similar board that has one already?
 
Oh hey sorry if this got mentioned before but I just noticed (as I was starting the build) that the Rock Star Distortion needs a build doc.

I can git-r-dun from the PCB silkscreening it’s a simple build but those new to the craft may want it.
 
Is there a drill guide for the Scenario preamp? The PCB doesn't look like it fits into a 5 or 6 knob enclosure judging from the pictures. 6 knob maybe otherwise, but the switch up top doesn't seem to line up with the upper pots.

You can use the template for the Powder Blue, it’s a 4-knob layout with a switch in the middle and the LED above the footswitch.

Ahh thanks! Doesn't look like there's a Tayda template ready, but I'll try to measure one from the pdf. Good call!

This should be what you need, although I haven't personally verified it yet.

Excellent! Looks correct to me, and I've already filed a couple of enclosures a bit to make everything work, so if it comes to that I can handle that too. I have a drill template for the Simulcast, but the switch was a bit too much to one side I think, so I never posted it here.
