Is the PDF-2 (or -1) still in your development queue?

Silvertone is DOA.... Brand new.


I think I found the culprit.

That’s a “feature”

Aren't these the same church guys selling 300 dollar boost pedals to P&W guitar players? Very Christian like.

I thought Strymon had that market locked up.

 

[ICTRock]

not working when it arrives in the mail is exactly the experience of Silvertone amps ...

So, in addition to the flying resistor that was never installed, we also have a bad footswitch.

This pedal was clearly never tested after assembly.

I redesigned a turret board layout and thought it would look cool in clear, so I cut it from some plexiglass - like the parts are floating.
While it looks cool and sounds great, I'm going to have to tear it down and use FR4. Getting the turret hot enough to take solder also melts the plexiglass. That's why the solder joints look kinda wack.

That indeed does look cool af. Sorry it didn't work out

What's with the white like blotches on the Board?

relicing.

I assume some sort of flux.

Looks somewhat like the residue my no-clean flux leaves behind.

Most definitely, and the 1X as well.

I mean, you don't really know that it wasn't.

 

[Robert]

You're absolutely right, I stand corrected.

This pedal was clearly never tested after assembly.

This pedal clearly never worked properly after assembly.

Sounds like it was barely assembled.

This is my Version from 2017:

Finally, an original overdrive circuit

Where?

 

[Robert]

I've never really cared for the Full-Drive but this one actually isn't bad... Maybe the "pre-MOSFET" folks are on to something.

Just noticed this .... quite the train wreck. Although it is a nice sounding pedal, I'll give it that.
