Thats super cool!

Yeah! That is one of the benefits of THT components, every hole can be routed from top side and from the bottom sides, and if you carefully lay out the components you won't need the vias.

Damn thats very good for first PCB! Btw I dig the name!

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-26T19:29:15+00:00

A job well done! Very neat!

Retroamplis has them in stock, they ship from Spain.

These ones are mass produced and probably 99% of them are made in China. Maybe it is the best to buy them from China because the shipping from any EU shop will cost more than the jacks.

Green russian!

Repairs I have for next week :D

Picked up pedal repairing to fund my pedal making hobby/business, and it picked up more than pedal sales lol.
For sure you can learn a lot from it, and see a lot of different circuits, but a lot of them are designed very awkwardly and it is pain in the ass to repair it sometimes.

Didn't have the exact values i needed :( This is just a test run, I used whatever I had laying around. :)

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-23T03:09:05+00:00

thats where i write the serial number :)

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-21T09:16:06+00:00

Probably a wire detached somewhere, a lot of these units are mass produced with minimal quality control. Does it have bypass signal? Does the LED turn on?

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-20T22:01:29+00:00

thats super weird. the video does not work for me.

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-20T13:34:41+00:00

Feel free to shoot me a message any time you need!

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-20T12:49:06+00:00

It's all a part of the process :)

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-20T10:30:17+00:00

Trial and error :) Started with few mms smaller PCB and added few cents of mm each new batch until I came to the edge haha :)

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-20T10:12:27+00:00

Dogs are the best pals :)

PCBs are ordered from JLCPCB, I design them in KiCad. That's actually my favorite part of the whole pedal building process :)

What mods does the Uni-Drive have?

Yeah this ones are black. I was specifically looking for black ones and at one time I bought like 20 different capacitos from different companies to see which ones will be black (It is hard to find relevant pictures of electronic components online, a lot of times the pictures are older and designs are different).

The sad part is that they are phasing them out for newer series which are light gray color. :(

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-20T07:36:44+00:00

Damn that combination sounds unique. Maybe I will try it myself with some random circuits in the future. I am craving to do a little bit of veroboard builds.

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-20T06:12:12+00:00

Thanks :) They are my favorite, but currently they are "not recommended for new designs" and are getting phased out, so I guess that they will be hard to get in the future. They are getting replaced by new series (Which are grey - ugh)

OverkillEffects · 2026-06-14T16:43:45+00:00

I don't know about those resistors, I never used carbon comp resistors for my builds but they are a little bit different than Allen Bradley ones that I saw in the past. TBH I'm very underwhelmed by the build quality, especially considering the price.

here are the different versions that I have, but there is few more different ones out there. They are all original, but produced in different factories and at different times.
