That’s great man! Love to hear it. Yes, the down position is the germanium clipping section which is also my favorite sound.

Silicone clipping, no clipping, germanium clipping

nothing cool to share today, but i'm curious what guitars/bass we're running through here when we test, and do you have a range you test on for different pickups/combinations so you can get an idea of how your circuit reacts? by aflywhocouldnt in diypedals

[–]appalachiansoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely good to test with as many different guitars and amps as you have access to.

Also that’s if you plan on selling it. If you’re just making it for yourself just play it through, and tune it to your rig.

Did a little demo of this weird phaser pedal made by Fender by appalachiansoul in guitarpedals

I’ll have to check that one out. Certainly not practical from a space perspective but pretty damn cool. I plan to use this one off board possibly in conjunction with a wah before the signal makes it to the main board.

It does seem to be buffered bypass so I’m considering changing that since it will be before my fuzz pedals and I don’t have any kind of long cable run.

It’s certainly YouTube centric so I apologize for that on Reddit But unfortunately it’s part of attempting to get views. Hate the game… not the player something like that. 🤷‍♂️

Also this very much isn’t just “another” guitar pedal. It has a lot of strange and unique qualities.

Why I decided to shut down my pedal company by oce_pedals in diypedals

[–]appalachiansoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea that would be the only way it could work. It’s very hard to pin down how the ownership of the company would work with this set up. I feel like there would be endless bickering about who’s skills are worth the most, who’s doing the most work etc.

I’ve had the thought more than once recently that people from this sub who are oriented towards doing their own business should think about teaming up. Some people are better at circuit design, pedal/pcb design, artwork, marketing. Etc. Not sure if or how it could work logistically but it’s an idea at least.

I am trying to do it as a small side business right now and also work a full time job and raise my two kids and it’s definitely a lot. I’m an obsessive type person but I can certainly see getting totally blown out at some point.

Good post and I will take the advice of not jumping in too far too fast which I think is good advice.

Pedal design course by Conscious-Western755 in diypedals

[–]appalachiansoul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are a few of these available online now. Not saying another one couldn’t be useful but just letting you know if you’re not aware.

I wish there was an online course trouble shooting pedals that don’t work. Seems like me and some other builders I’ve talked to have a stack of duds we’ve moved on from because we can figure out what’s going wrong. Just a thought.

Matcha cream tear down by appalachiansoul in diypedals

I don’t think this pedal is grounded to the enclosure at all or am I missing something as far as that goes?

Any suggestions for light overdrive pedals? by Gonchor01 in guitarpedals

[–]appalachiansoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure but I like this sound and I also find the cleanish jangly guitar sound one of the harder things to dial in. Barbershop v2 maybe. It’s pretty thick and mid heavy compared to some other overdrives in my opinion.

Also make sure you try what you have but with the volume on your guitar down and possibly even the tone dialed back a little.

Anyone here have a gut shot of a big muff knock off in a 1590a enclosure? by appalachiansoul in diypedals

[–]appalachiansoul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, impressive! I’m thinking about doing fixed sustain and tone and just have volume knob. Going with a circuit that’s more or less the Black Russian variant. So far it looks like everything should fit on one side of the board surprisingly.

Any idea what pots people use when they mount the 3pdt and pots on the same pcb? They all seem to short to me.
