Think this should work for you but feel free to tweak it as you see fit.

The only real confusing part about the drill coordinates tool is that all the dimensions are taken from the center point of the face you are working on. So, you will have negative numbers on the one side of the centerline and positive numbers on the other. Once you wrap your head around that it should all start to make more sense.

The UV printing thing is a whole other deal for sure. Just finished my first UV print with them actually. Hoping it gets delivered tomorrow.

Happy building 

Not familiar with this one off the top of my head but I could take a look tomorrow when I'm back on my main PC.

I'm on a bit of a streak this year but I'm usually like you, just 3 maybe 4 builds a year. What are you in to? Really like the pedalPCB Caesar chorus that I built recently. The Tour Bus is definitely on my list for the this fall/winter.

Looks great. Might have to give this one a try.

As suspected some new ICs brought everything to life. Seems to be working great now. Got to make some time to figure out weather it was the BBD or the clock that was the trouble now. Or just chuck them both in the bin lol.

Best way is to put them in a circuit you know works.

Agree. These BBDs and associated Clocks should be plug and play. Not too much to them. If the circuit works, simply remove the Clock or BBD and replace with suspect IC. Much of the "problem" is verifying that the circuit is 100% working prior to using it as a test bed.

Yeah, this is definitely the place I am trying to get to. I have no reason to believe that my Caesar Chorus will not work with the proper ICs but I also can't prove that will work currently. I will say that the LFO was not working with the original chips in the circuit but when I pulled them out and tested it the LFO came to life.

Circuit was nonfunctioning with these in them. Still waiting on replacement clock. Like I said not much experience with this sort of thing so yeah, I could be wrong. Are there any other ways to tell for sure you have legit ICs?

The third IC in the one photo is one I just got from GuitarPCB. The other two ICs were from CabinTech.

I don't have much knowledge of this sort of thing but they look sanded and re-labeled. Just got a new one and it definitely looks different. The tops are smoother and the text is really hard to read. Hard to capture on a photo.

Dang that nice

Pretty sure I got some fakes from them recently. Not sure if it was the BBD or the clock at this point. Only ordered one each so lesson learned I guess. They do say to let them know if you have a higher than 10% fail rate. They have a good reputation so I'm giving them another try. All these supply issue suck. Hopefully they haven't run through all the good NOS.

Looks really nice. Definitely sounds like a challenge. Looking forward to the negative ground edition when it comes out.

Great job! Looking forward to the sound demos. How is the windbag compared to other 2399 delays?

Built one of these a while back but gave it to a friend. Never had an issue with it that I remember.

Just FYI there is a tech help section of the forum for future reference. If you post pictures of your board and list all your voltages someone may be able to offer more specific help. You could always try to audio prob the circuit and try to locate the source of the noise that way. My 2 cents anyway. Good luck 🤞

Great batch of builds
