I've built a Triton v3.1. it has a cool mod, "adding a 100u cap in parallel on a switch. this allows for very long modulation transitions while retaining the option of the standard design."

I tried a toggle switch, but it was a pain. I decided to put it on a stomp. the problem is, I don't know if it's on or off. I'm trying to come up with a way to have an LED show on/off. I figured out how to show it off with an LED on. I'd rather have it LED on, mod on. LED off, mod off. the pic shows the switch in the lower right corner. all it does is connect the 100u cap hanging off the board in parallel with the 220u on the board.

anybody have any thoughts? it's a really cool pedal and a great mod!

I have a couple of boards I got in a trade. does anyone recognize them? I need build docs.

thanks a million in advance!!

this ain't pedal related at all. this is a time trial run in my drag car...

here's one that every one of us can use! this is "The Testing Rig" by jkokura. this critter's awesome! the build was easy, and it works like a charm. if you don't have this one, you really need to grab one up. you'll be glad you did! you can read about it here. http://jmkpcbs.com/product/testing-rig/

what's the difference betwee a "diffused" LED and any other, and how can you tell them apart? thanks in advance!

Got word from Phreek that he's finished with my project and she's on the way home! I can't wait to get my hands on 'er!!

hey all! I got these today, and my daughter opened it up, set it on my desk and threw away the envelope. I can't find the dang thing! there are no markings that i'm familiar with, but I think it's a GrindCustoms FX, but I don't see it in the store. anybody know what it is??

hey all! I was wondering if anyone besides myself is having trouble placing an order. I can't seem to put anything in my shopping cart...

I need to get a replacement for this. what type of connector is this called? thanks a million in advance!

i'm building a Supreaux Deux, and i've discovered that it's an 18v board. the BOM was just that. a BOM and a schematic. there was a cap that was labled CX and no info on it. after finding the actual build doc, i read "Perhaps the simplest supply alternative consists in a pair of 9V batteries connected in series. A voltage doubler built around a MAX1044 or equivalent will also work fine, provided the clock frequency is above the audio range." well, the battery fix is not what i want, and the statement was all i found. no suggestions on to build one "around a MAX1044", and how will i know if the "clock frequency" is above the audio range?

this one works great! it's put together kinda funny, because I had the enclosure drilled for something else. all in all though, it's not too bad.

here's a couple of pics. I just gotta figure out how to work it. the biggest problem I have is getting the "WF" switch to work. it doesn't seem to matter what I do, it never makes a difference...

finished this one up this morning. i really like it! i thought that the small box might be a problem for me, but it really wasn't too bad. my biggest problem was findinf the small profile jacks, but Midwayfair gave ma a source and i was on my way! although there are a few things i'd do differently, all in all it fit pretty good.
i had a bit of a problem with the presence pot, mainly because i couldn't find a CCW 10k. after staring a the thing for about five minutes, i occurred to me that all three knobs were not going to be able to line up across such a narrow box. so i turned the pot 180 degrees and it fit perfect! there was no need for a C10k.
i also thought i could live without and on/off indicator light. i learned real quick that when other pedals are on, i got really lost really quick. i'm gettin ready to add one now.
i need to figure out how to do the audio thing.... 

does anyone know if a TL071CP will replace a CA3130EZ? according to the data sheets it looks ok, but i could use a little verification. thanks a million in advance!

man! i have GOT to build a pedal board!!!
