Can anyone tell me if my pedal is fried I used the wrong cable and people said that could’ve fried it but i really wanna know if it’s fried or not

the noise gate uses MFOS's guitar to gate circuit to open and close a simple mosfet audio gate. It has an effect loop so that the gate is reacting to the initial unaffected signal, so even though there's no decay or sustain control for the gate (it's either on or it's off) you can still get good dynamics from it.

Hey, i want to build some pedals, could you all recommend me some schematics? Thanks

Hi everyone. I have to get a gift for someone whose main hobby is making pedals. I know 0 about this topic but I’d like to get them something they could use and enjoy - they have the basic tools etc. but are there things you all have that help you out, or take your creations to the next level? Something you have that you think would make a great gift? I’ve got a budget of £40/$50. If anyone has a suggestion I would be really grateful! Thanks!

hello! I’d like to use this Fender MS2 dual footswitch with my Eventide Space. it didn’t work; I’m not sure this pedal is a “standard” TRS dual footswitch. will I need to mod it? is it a very complicated mod? :) thanks!

Saw the back of this thermostat device at a friend's house. Does any part of this have pedal potential. Perhaps some form of fuzz or distortion circuit with tweaking. I know nothing about electronics, just curious if someone here would care to entertain the idea.

I am a fuzz junkie and I have pretty much every unique circuit there is to get (and then some) but I'm still missing that great Robert Fripp fuzz tone...

If yer a builder too, I'd be happy to take a look at what you've made in the world of Buzzzzzaround clones 🐝

Thanks!

I've been browsing Mouser for audio jacks, and I've found pretty much exactly what I've been looking for, but 4 separate versions. The datasheet makes a distinction between no suffix and "L" suffix, but doesn't mention anything about "U" suffix. Does anyone know what that suffix means?

Hey guys! Looking to make a nice buffer EQ for my pedalboard and I really like the way the James tone circuit works. Are there any schems out there for a pedal that uses a James tones stack?

Considering James tone stack insertion loss is high , maybe a bandaxall tone stack as well? If I'm not mistaken its just an active James tone stack.

Thank you all!

I am on a low budget and I want to learn how to make pedals. I've done a couple kits but want to start doing some vero builds to cut down on cost.

I want to try building a pedal in a tuna can, like the beetronics tuna fuzz. Thier pedal has a coffee can style, plastic lid on the bottom and I can't find those anywhere. I'm sure I'm the problem, they look like I should be able to buy them somewhere.

Does anyone know where I can find these lids? Or the can and lid together?

Or any prototype pedal enclosure that is super cheap?

Any and all suggestions welcome and thank you to anyone nice enough to offer suggestions :)

What are your thoughts or experiences with Bojack or Allecin branded component kits from Amazon?

When I decided to get back into building I ordered a few essentials, and supplemented with Tayda orders, but I've put 2 pedals on a breadboard and so far nothing has worked other than a 555 oscillator circuit and the BP Synth using the Adafruit Black Pill MCU.

I'm really looking forward to building pedals I can tweak to work best with my 8 string, but this single question looms over me... Are my capacitors, diodes and resistors garbage?

Sometimes I like to use old parts just for fun. So colorful!

Two-Layer View, the copper pour on the bottom layer touches all GND nodes in the circuit except for the two caps in the power section, which have separate traces on the top layer

Hello, I am new to this hobby, having first got started in February ish of this year when I learned what a capacitor was, why it was soldered to my tone pot, and why it crumbling apart turned my tone knob into a volume knob.

Fast forward, and I'm now about to order a pcb with a layout and routing done by me and not auto-routing.

I would welcome anyone's feedback on whether I am ready to hit submit order or not. I know enough now to know I pretty much know nothing at all, so let me know if I'm doing anything critically wrong (or through dumb luck, something right!).

I've been working on a series of "Keep it Simple Stupid" modular boards (amp/EQ/compressor/distortion) to scratch a bit of a DIY audio itch. I've published the first draft as open source, including a simple standard to allow others to submit compatible modules.

The idea is to break down circuits into modular components that you can then connect together, and swap in and out in any order to experiment.

Lots still on the todo list, but any feedback, comments, ideas (or pull requests) welcome.

Some of the modules I'm planning to add:

• Guitar DI input
• Opto compressor
• Discrete op amp adapter
• FET clipper
• Passive EQs

Any thoughts around cases, design choices, or anything else welcome!

I am a beginner when it comes to building pedals although i have built a fuzz a couple weeks ago. I have seen a video about the Pedal Brainz "Third eye" (and i have also seen the hefty price tag) so i would love to have a go at building my own. I have been trying to find a diagram for a light sensor but I would still have no idea where to start trying to turn the signal into an expression signal. I was wondering if anyone would have an appropriate diagram for the circuit i am talking about? Thanks a lot.

Am I missing the point of these? Someone enlighten me. These come with some of the kits I order.

I may have a few of these ready for Xmas.

If I want something in my design to be the same color as the enclosure, is it better to print it or to just have it be transparent so the powder coated color shows through? I'm concerned about trying to color match with the enclosure color using cmyk value.

I’ve been looking for pcbs for theses pedals and was wondering if anyone knew where to find them.
