Last time I checked I remember the transformer being hard to find. Will any others work?

@music6000 - I'm curious, since you're down under in Australia while @Robert is in Georgia, how is it you're seemingly the first to know about new PCBs?

I'm 12 hours ahead of Robert down under so that might have something to do with it.???

Any chance you could tell me what tonights winning lottery numbers are going to be?

I've built a few of these in the past, and have used both 42TM002 and 022, and there was no discernible difference in tone

Would this transformer work you think? I used one in the past for a Bobtavia build which called for this specific transformer and have an extra sitting around.

Does orientation of the transformer matter for the octaclave? I just want confirmation before I install it.

 

[Robert]

Yes it does. The transformer primary faces the top of the PCB.

I need to upload the doc for this one, it should have already been posted.

realized i did this wrong on the bit commander too... so fucking pissed. they still sound cool but man i fucked that up. biggest mistake for me so far, especially since it's two pedals. oh well.

spent 30 minutes to to desolder... that ain't happening.

Go rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwlllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Use lots of copper desolder-braid (with flux) and a MASSIVE solder-pump and bit by bit with plenty of COOLING time in between heating up a pin/pad so as not to lift a trace... It can be done, if you have more patience than I have.

took me over an hour on the captain bit, then maybe 20 min on the octaclave. i think i used half a little roll of desoldering braid. that day i learned about the primary side of transformers! both pedals work great so i can't complain!
