Tommy III Troubleshooting

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum. Ive built mics, and compressors before and decided to take on the "Tommy" cause I love the pedal that I used to have and im playing electric guitar again. I found a circuit board online but under the parts list for example it says Capacitor 39u..When I go on DigiKey to look for the part it gives me different options at different voltages. The instructions to the build don't specify what voltage I need for that part for this build. Anyone out there happen to know the voltages that I need? For example the build parts list says 39N, or 47u, but when I look those parts up on DigiKey it gives me choices for 50v 100v,... Also the build guide doesn't say which type of capacitors they are, Film/ceramic/....any one else lost on this?
 
Yup... I got that. And I initially did contact pedal PCB,maybe you didn't read that part, but it took some time for me to get their response. Plus im not going to make anymore excuses or apologies to anyone else. It happened, its over. If you don't like it then tuff nuggies lol. Go tell it to some who cares lol

Good Luck, you have clearly demonstrated your demeanor & you will need it!
 
Hey bud you keep saying “them” about PedalPCB like they’re some giant empire but in reality it’s one fucking guy that puts in a ton of hard work and is VERY responsive to pretty much any question and has gone out of his way to help me in the past with things. Not sure about your experience other than what you say but I find it laughable that you cant figure this build out based on the build doc when pretty much everyone else from beginners to experts figure out how to build all sorts of boards on this site. This isn’t an instructional website that’s supposed to hold your hand it expects some bit of knowledge or some bit of initiative in the absence of knowledge.

maybe start with a Stew Mac build with their pretty picture books and instructions. I’m sure you’ll love it. Especially when you notice it’s a PPCB board.

Until then keep flexing your anonymous internet balls but a better solution would be to have some respect for a small company and GTFU.

Edit: reading your earlier post a little closer I see this was a mixup with build doc versions and with you getting sent the wrong part. I think the point still stands that your response to flame a small business owner on a public forum is a little ridiculous especially when he resolved the issue. You’re not the only one that works a lot and enjoys their time off.

Dammm you guys are still on this? Wow some of you must not have sh*t to do. To clarify I apologized once for getting frustrated and posting a bad vibe comment about pedal pcb. they did send me the wrong part and that screwed up my whole day. And while I was waiting for them to reply to the issue, my anger and impatience got the best of me.. Again I hate wasting time. Money comes and goes but time you cant get back. Some of you who have lives can probably relate. But they fixed the issue and sent me the right part. So its all good.
Thats why I apologized for giving in to a moment of impatience and weakness. But most of you who are hating on me are "obviously" perfect and you've never lost your cool before so Congrats on that. Im not perfect and I gave into my anger. Which AGAIN... I apologized for. The matter is over and its been fixed. But if some of you want to keep bringing it up go right ahead. Fair waring though I only have time to come online like once a week so you'll have to was it patiently for my response lol. Incase some of you other cool people are wondering about my experience my last build was a studio compressor. Its a Dual Channel 4 tube varimu compressor. Basically a stereo channel mastering version of the universal audio LA2A. As you can see... this one didn't come with "pretty pictures" lol. Send me a DM if your interested and I'll send pics of it. I tried to upload them here but I guess the file is too big. Anyway , peace to all you cool mofos out there, All you other haters can kiss my a** lol . Out

What website did you find that internal slide switch?
