It's not the best at quack, but the red a pretty decent. Find yourself a stack of dimes inductor. It's got some quack.

Hi my good dudes, I'm looking for a bit of help with an idea.

I have built a triple dirt pedal with the Green Bean, Slow Loris, and Pig Butt, and it's killer.  I haven't yet added any of the indicator LEDs because I wanted to do a light plate, and I find drilling the holes and mounting the LED's to be the hardest part of the final assembly steps, so I just didn't bother with it yet.

My thought, originally, was to do a light plate type of setup, where the corresponding area of the pedal would light up with the color of that particular effect, but when I got to thinking about it, I have quite a few 4-lead RGB Leds lying around.

I think that would be really neat to use because it would give me different colours for each effect as well as blending them together.

To wire the power up, I only grounded the -9V on one of the boards, and used that to ground all of the jacks, switches, and pcbs using the G lug instead of the -9V lug.  Made a lot of sense to me once I started wiring it up.  I get that the top Left lug of the 3PDT switches is for the LED (white in my picture) so my question is:

If I were to use a single 4-lead LED, Hook each anode up to the LED+ on each PCB, where do I hook up the cathode?  Can it be any ground anywhere? Ie. on any one of the PCB boards (and leave the rest of the LED- lugs empty) or to one of the ground spots like the input jack or one of the switches?  If I did that would all 3 switches turn on their respective colour without issue?

Thanks in advance you legends.


In theory, yes, any ground will work. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you're doing and if it will work.

Wow, what an endeavor! I'm a sucker for too many controls. Would you even need another phaser? I already know Jimi's answer to that question!
Oh hell yeah!

General Questions / Re: using Lowrider on Bass

It works fantastic on bass. The lower octave is almost subsonic. Pickups just need a higher output. I found a bass that it doesn't work well with. The main issue with guitars is that some single coil pickups don't have enough output to trigger the octave.

Well, the test rig works, and whatever you have hooked to it needs to be trouble shot(shooted?)

Can you connect the black in and the yellow out together and get sound? That's the first thing I believe. Test it without a board.

It's hard to see what's what, is your ground on the dc jack wired to the + on the PCB?
