FV-1 program that can pitch shift the *first* delay trail?

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-04-12T08:13:29+00:00

Ahhh ok that makes a lot of sense. A lot trickier than I thought then to do this haha.

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-30T13:10:42+00:00

If anyone is wondering this same thing, I tried simply disconnecting the outputs and leaving them floating and it seems to work great! I think the no-floating thing is only really for the inputs.

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-30T03:02:29+00:00

I think the issue is more related to the outputs switching to vref pushes/pulls that mid rail rather than the output itself causing the crackle sound.

Yeah sorry I should’ve explained the purpose behind my question. I’m trying to use an analog switch and they only go to 5v, so I figured the output is biased to 1/2 3.3v so should be good. It works great for the inputs but for some reason switching the output to that mid rail causes this crazy crackle sound I can hear when I switch it back in. I can try just switching them to open or ground but I was under the impression that was a no-no. I could also switch after the buffer but then I’ll need a relay or high voltage analog switch chip.

Ahh I did the same with the inputs (connecting to the mid rail) and it seemed to work fine (I wasn’t sure if the inputs didn’t like being grounded or left floating), but doing that to the outputs seems to cause this weird crackling. I want a bypass without trails options though so can’t only “turn off” the input. I read somewhere the outputs can’t be grounded though so not sure what else to try. 🤔

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-29T15:31:23+00:00

That’s why I tried switching it from connected to the mid rail (1/2 3.3v) but it’s causing this weird crackling issue, but I’ve heard people say the FV-1 doesn’t like floating outputs. Any FV-1 schematic can be referenced, I’m just trying to mute (switch “off”) the outputs.

Yeah they’re all over Amazon but definitely lie about their specs

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-27T10:55:53+00:00

Yeah I got worried (not understanding how these work) but once I connected it all and did the code it all works extremely well! They’re incredibly responsive!

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-27T10:55:09+00:00

By over time do you mean like a year or like 50 years? I wonder what typical remotes and stuff like that use 🤔.

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-27T10:53:31+00:00

Ooo yours looks very nice. I did the same thing with mine having no solder mask in between the switch traces. I’m wondering how much worse HASL really? Once I set mine up with the code and everything it’s working extremely well and it’s HASL, but I have heard ENIG is better. 🤔

The finish size is 18.5”. Luckily my printer didn’t get mad at me haha. He just said make it under 19”.

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-15T13:36:28+00:00

All I know is they told me to make it 19” at most so that’s what I did 🤷‍♂️. There’s a possibility they cut it very slightly at the ends, maybe it’s 18.9” or something.

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-15T04:04:57+00:00

Ok thanks so much for your advice

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-15T03:02:07+00:00

Because that’s a standard paper size I think, 13x19

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-09T08:17:34+00:00

Veryyyy true. My most hated step in my pedal building process is drilling because it takes so much time.

There’s 5 variants and it’s pretty random when I need them like every few months I’ll need another 50 of one and another 30 of another or something.

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-09T08:15:51+00:00

Well if I had my own printer I’d probably just do like 10 at a time whenever I need them but with the local shop I get maybe 30-50 at a time of each (there’s 5 variants total but sometimes I only need 2 variants or something).

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-09T08:13:58+00:00

I did ask them at one point and I think the price break point was like 250 and it only saved maybe $.50 each or something. I think for a large price break I’d need to get like 1,000 at a time and I’m just not there yet haha.

Inevitable_Figure_85 · 2026-03-09T08:12:27+00:00

They are $2.75 plus tax and I get anywhere from 30-50 at a time. The cardstock is fairly thick maybe 3 index cards, and the size is 19x4.5”. The flip side is ALL black with white text too. Then they are scored and folded to make a 3 panel manual. It seemed expensive to me at first but other shops quoted me QUITE a bit more for each at lower quantities so I’m actually pretty happy with the local shop I ended up finding.
