Title: Purple Moodring
Post by: Loztboy on December 03, 2014, 09:23:29 PM
I had some weird problems with this one. I wired it in non true bypass mode, but the pedal did not turn off, and the kill dry had delay only. I de-soldered  some wires and used my audioprobe but could not find the error
Then I remembered that the PT2399 was bought from Tayda....
Then I swapped the PT2399 and it was all good, and it sounds awesome :)
Thanks Brian!

The color is green sparkle spray paint with purple sparkle on top, the decal is printed vinyl.

I had some 1uF axial caps I had to use :)

Also I bought a bunch of Alpha pots from Tayda (ROUND SHAFT PC MOUNT), they are a bit hard to turn and the shaft is a little small, whats up with that?

This is sometimes caused by having the knobs grinding on the pot nut a bit, these days I try and lift the knob a millimeter or two before I tighten the set screw.

Very nice build, I wish I could do pro graphics like that :)

That's not the case here, the shafts on the Tayda pots are tighter without knobs on, and they are smaller in diameter. Turning them feels like turning really cold pots.

That looks great! How/where did you get the vinyl sticker printed?
Title: Re: Purple Moodring
Post by: Loztboy on December 04, 2014, 12:47:27 PM
I printed it on my canon printer. The sticker is printable vinyl with a transparent layer on top. I don't remember the brand. I can check later.

That would be great if you don't mind :-)
with a transparent layer on top, you mean you sprayed some clear coat on it?
