+1 on the 555 switching, It's fast and you don't need the MC.  The only downside is I used the non-latching, which draws a lot of current. There is a latching version that I haven't tried.  https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb394/

I layed out the CODA relay switch and made PCBs.  I programmed the MCs with the PICkit2.  I think the 555 works better.   

My other preferred option is the Intelligent Relay with attiny chip from PPCB.  The momentary function is super useful for playing live. 

A triumph, sir! 

You are an artist, sir!  Awesome build 

Man, that looks sweet!  I love the negative space around the roast knob and LED, extending into the boarder on the graphic.  Looks pro.

I've got the original 1590A PCB in my stash. Been meaning to build it.  I wanted to have a breakfast trio: Harmonic percolator (coffee), the hot stack, and the bacon bits   

Send is the input to the PCB, Return is the output.  If you are wondering about the foot switch wiring, here is a link:

Can you give details about the improvements?  Might give a clue as to what went wrong.

I second the buying extra parts to build up your stash. I'd pick a few PCBs you'd like to build, create a combined parts list.  When you order parts, order extra resistors, caps, leds, knobs, ect.  The next time you order you can run through what you have before you order.  After a few cycles of this you might have enough to build without ordering. Wouldn't recommend ordering extra pots....no matter how many I have in my stash, I always have to order at least one, lol, so it's not worth the extra storage and cost.   

The goal is to avoid ordering from multiple vendors, the shipping costs add up.  I always need a Tayda order, so, I also have a list of things I'm getting low on and Tayda sells.  When I order caps or chips from Mouser, I usually buy in bulk.  Both for the bulk discount and to only order from them a few time per year.  Small Bear and other specialty vendors, I try to order for multiple projects or buy in bulk for stuff like chips.   

 

Thanks guys! 

I needed up ordering some more 308s to test.  I got it sorted, sounds mean.

Hellz to the yeah! 

That's a banger, Gordo  Sharp!

I'm building up the Dragonbeard Jr.  I have one 308 chip that I'm 100% about and another that I'm ~70% about.  I was wondering if either IC1 or IC2 would be considered more important to the sound of the pedal?  I.e. where should I put the 100% 308?

That's awesome!

I have one of these from Lectric, I need to revisit the sound of this circuit.

Wow, that's slick.  Nice Job! 

Hellz yea    Thank you, sir.

Is the Oracle still on track to be released in August?
