Its kind of a compromise, I believe. Either we have to design a circuit that sounds better, but at the risk of not being able to find these rare vintage components in the long run. Or we stay more comfortable with components that are readily available, but sacrificing a bit of how it will sound.

I have heard about a chinese company (UTsource.net) that supposedly sells a lot of genuine, used vintage components that are salvaged from old stuff. However, I have never tried buying anything there. Have anyone heard of/tried buying stuff from them? Could that be true or is it just another scam?

I have to say I agree with you on this. I have always preferred EHX over other brands, and I have a few original units.
They all sound awesome!

This is one of my favorites songs by this band called Distant Dream, which is a solo project by Marcin Majrowski.
He is a very talented musician from Poland. Definetly worth checking it out.

Been listening a lot to this album by Airiel:

It is really good.

Thank you so much for your reply, Brian!
Understood about mbp projects. And by the way, I really admire your work! 
I imagine it really is a lot of work to do haha! 

Thak you so much for your reply too, dave!
When put this way, my idea really sonds like a dumb approach to the problem.
I'll do that to get this pedal running.

But I guess the main reason for all of this was to mess around with Eagle a bit, really. I've been hunting down something to do!

If I decide to go on with this crazyness later, I'll get back here and share with you the results.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

This is my first post around here, so I will apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to ask this.

So, I came up with an idea when I ordered wrong pots to build the Uber Tuber pedal (I ordered short pins instead of long ones  ). A normal person would just make a new order of the correct parts, but I decided it would be a good idea to try to modify the board so it would fit the short pin pots.
I would like to do that to play around with Eagle CAD a bit, and see whatever comes out of this...

Anyway, what I'm trying to ask is if it is okay to use the available madbean projects, modify them and have a board manufactured. It would be strictly for personal use, of course.

Thank you so much,
Afonso
