Folding legs is a no go for me. This is not how I learned it at school.

how many does it call for? I think i have a few on hand ... just built the weeble and I ordered extra I'll send you.Madbean's Phasor II asks for 9203 LDRs and Stompboxparts won't ship these to Europe. Those who want to help and have an order pending, hit the envelope!

There's a tool specifically for that sort of nut, or you can probably fashion one out of some metal tubing:

The gesture you made is highly appreciated too, you know!
The thaught me how to draw a pcb on see through paper with rub-on soldering islands and 0,5 pentelpens. And then the proces of lighting. Acid. Drilling. And then soldering with no folds. Just straight legs and creating shiny joints.
And then I never touched a soldering station again until recently.
Maybe try 5537s or 5528?Madbean's Phasor II asks for 9203 LDRs and Stompboxparts won't ship these to Europe. Those who want to help and have an order pending, hit the envelope!

I just pushed hard with a flathead screwdriver at the risk of impaling myself, but it worked out okay. A Phillips head (as I've seen on a few others knobs like this) would have been a wiser design, but I think that would detract a little from the tone.There's a tool specifically for that sort of nut, or you can probably fashion one out of some metal tubing:
When I bought a guitar from Sweetwater I asked for an extra bag of candy to keep my wife happy. It worked.
I used to put a lot of parts on the board u til I had a rash of problems because I missed soldering them.View attachment 117173
Team fold and solder.
Quit putting the wrong parts in the holes and you’ll be fine!

I miss a pad sometimes, but I always catch it when I'm trimming the leads.
Ok, here’s one I’ve been kind of afraid to ask…
When I’m breadboarding, and I try to make a transistor-based circuit, it fails just about every time. By that I mean the audio signal passes through with little change, or it sounds weak. I do your typical troubleshooting, like check the pinouts, 2x check the schematic... I feel like I’m missing a detail from breadboarding 101 or something.
I don’t have this problem when breadboarding IC-based circuits.
There are transistor-based circuits that I would like to tweak and modify- it would be way easier if I figure this out!

Maybe post a pic or something
Yep- probably not the right thread for this- I’ll just go into the troubleshooting subforum the next time it happens.

I'm sure we can get you straightened out and it's probably something silly that you're overlooking. I've done it a hundred times. Like forgetting to connect the power rails
