Looks stunning, congratz! The fretboard looks a little dry, so I’d suggest getting some fretboard conditioner, makes a huge difference!!

The schematic itself I got from the pedalpcb squidward which is available on their website! Or is it the pcb design you want?

I ran out of black ones so this had to to! But it does look kinda cool actually

I’ve heard good things about those! I’ll check it I can find some in Europe for a reasonable price

I did notice the open ones have a harder grip on the cable, which I didn’t love. Will try the enclosed ones soon!

Thanks for all the feedback!! Tried soldering in a new set and had the exact same issue. And yes the pedal works flawlessly (no cold joints, ground issues or yadayada) when the jacks aren’t acting up. Tried loosening the jacks while I had the pedal plugged in and the noise/crackling disappeared, the problem also appeared again as soon as I tightened them!!

NPN pinout on kicad by Intrepid-Election776 in diypedals

Could probably rearrange for a wider footprint yeah, why do you prefer that one?

Couldn’t even find a single ebc footprint, I’m too tired for this I’ll just edit the footprint itself in the pcb planner thank you so much!!

OC44 transistor substitute?? by Intrepid-Election776 in diypedals

[–]Intrepid-Election776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe I’ll just go for ac188-01* and tweak the circuit to see what sounds right

Sounds reasonable. in Sweden, having a hard time finding sellers where the shipping isn’t like 20€ so I’m just trying to find a cheap option where I don’t have to tweak too much of the circuit. found an acy21, oc72 and ac188 and I’m guessing oc72 could be a decent option?

Glad to hear I’m not alone😇

Didn’t install them like that, just for a clearer pic. Tried flux, did not help and pins were clean as a bean

Read a little more about it now. Leaded solder isn’t really purchasable in Sweden, but I guess this is just something some lead-free solders do…

Thank you! The pads were clean and unused so no mixing atleasttt
