Below is a sampling of 9v supply schematic values from various pedals. Obviously all are basically the same, however, they all have slight differences.

I know diode is for polarity protection, I know the electros are for power noise filtering, I know the 2 resistors form a voltage divider, I don't know why some include a small value resistor after the diode (usually less than 1k) and some include a film cap (usually 100n). Is there a best practice/standardized power section or are all of these pretty much the same? Just trying to learn a little.

Very cool!

Dragonbeard ordered! Thanks Brian.

Small Bear, its good stuff

1 x #24 Pre-Bond, Colors, 50 Ft. Spool
(Colors: Black)

Thanks! I take that as a high compliment as Juan's stuff is always top notch.

Here is my latest build. KOT using pedalpcb Paragon Mini. Built according to stock BOM.

I just recently built this using the online BOM and yes only 2 2.2uf caps and both are electros

Very nice! That board makes for a tidy build.

Very nice!

I dig that. The knobs really set it off I think.

Thanks, yeah I think the knobs look good on this enclosure, actually those have been my go to knobs for all of my recent builds.

Good squeeze there... nice black understated enclosure! 

Thanks!

Nice job! I've been looking at those enclosures. I hope they come out with other stock finishes.

Thanks! The enclosures are very nice. Lately I have only been using black or white so I am covered but other colors would be nice.

I didn't realize those enclosures look so cool.  I think they're also available in white and silver (and perhaps natural?).  Nice build!

Thanks, yeah pretty cool enclosure and yes they are available in white and silver.

Good looking build! How are the effects situated? Is the tremolo only in the wet reverb signal, or is it after the reverb and dry signals mix together?

Thanks. Reverb into tremolo. Rub-a-dub directly into the input of the Trem.

Rub-a-Dub Reverb into EA Trem with toggle switch to defeat the trem. Built in Gorva enclosure from LMS. Guts aren't pretty but it works!

Don't know if anyone has tried the new Gorva enclosures from Lawrence's shop. I ordered one to try. They are very nice. A little expensive but I think worth it for something you want to look professional. I am going to try to combine my Rub-a-Dub and EA Trem for a Flint type of pedal. I will post if it works out.

One of the coolest pedals I have ever seen!

Very nice!

Perfect! I always like finding ways to use things not for their intended purpose.
