Re: Ordering from Tayda? Customs & taxes in the EU

Thanks, i would choose the cheapest option.
I'm in Italy anyway and import taxes are 22%.
(I don't know what a DDP option is, i will search on Google)

Ordering from Tayda? Customs & taxes in the EU

hello everybody! after a long time without firing up my soldering iron, i've recently decided to build a new pedal. I would like to buy one UV-printed box this time, and i know that Tayda electronics offers this service, but i'm concerned with import-taxes and customs duties, given that around 2 yea...

Re: 9V Low Battery Indicator (Layout)

Layout and schematic are not coherent with eachother.
According to schematic, R5 should be connected to R1-R4 junction

Re: Big Muff Ram's head low gain question [SOLVED]

Debugging plays a big part in the learning process, anyway 😊
it's not just wasted time, not always at least.... But I do agree with you Bumblebee: it's good to devise a method for avoiding debug!

Re: DIY SD-1 not clipping [SOLVED]

Check that there are not copper residues around the holes you've drilled; those could still make contact.

Re: Fulltone OCD v2.0 LED issue

I agree with bmxguitarsbmx: probably a defective switch that didn't make a good contact between the 2 pins used for shorting the LED. With the new arrangement, now you're using the other 2 pins of that switch (the other side of that row of 3 pins) , and these are making a good contact it seems. Anyw...

Re: Fender H.O.T. practice amp hum (50hz) noise even the guitar is un plugged.

OK, but have these amps always had this problem, i mean since the first time you switched them ON, or the HUM has appeared later on?

If the latter, then something has gone bad; maybe also a poorly designed circuit, but i would like to understand what has happened.

Before modifying the amp, check all ground connections, solder joints and wires, expecially at the Input jacks

At least in the second pic the band looks gold, so 33 Ω, that is a more conventional value.

Re: Baja Sagittarian - switch pop [SOLVED]

You can use a 1M resistor (pulldown resistor) across the input tip and ground. It works, but in this way the 1M resistor is always connected to guitar signal, even in bypass. You should put that resistor directly on the PCB, across the IN pad and ground. Or, on the 3pdt switch, across the pin conne...

R54 is on the signal path, so without it the pedal would be mute, if activated.

Re: Help with DG Tone capsule [SOLVED]

good pics of your build would help.
...what's your experience with soldering? have you already built other pedals/circuits?
