I don't use soap at all with mine. I soak the enclosure and decal in the same temp water. I have had issues like yours with certain colors of paint such as glossy red and clear decals. Try a hair dryer.

Now when you say identify, the boxes are marked with what they are. What are you looking for?

Black '65 is indeed excellent. Great clean sound and you always have the extra gain stage on a switch.
I run mine at 15volts and biased for that value. It's great.

just been reading more on Tagboards about biasing the FETs, when running at 15v do you get more headroom and, as I haven't done it before, what drain value would you be aiming for when running at 15v? Or is this still the 4.25-5v?

The flabulanche is 2/3 of the output of the charge pump, I'd do that here also, then play around with it. I biased a prof tweed kind of high and it wasn't quite as distorted.

Last I checked (Tuesday), we still had one Radioshack store open.
I gotta go into town on Friday.
I guess I should check, if they are still there, for some extra tips for that then.

Edit:
Love your sig
Layout design is probably my favorite part of pedal building.

Mine too.

I got one of these:
On the right side obviously.
It was only about $5 I think.
If you hurry, you might still be able to get one.


Amazon has a selection:

Off topic, but on the left is a cap tester I built from a kit:
http://www.amazon.com/Jyetech-Capacitance-Meter-DIY-KIT/dp/B00C5TRI3Q

Does the IC solder pump works well?

I also have built one of those capacitance meter a while ago, works quite well, much usefull with tropical caps...

Do you mean this thing? :



Yeah, that works quite well.
Word of caution though...
Leave it unplugged.
When you need to use it...
Plug it in.
Let it heat up.
Use it,
Unplug it.
If you leave it plugged in for hours at a time, the tip deteriorates rather quickly.
Not a bad tool for only about $10.
IMO, works much better than those plunger types.

I bought several tips from RadioShack locally before they died.

I f-ckin love this PCB.  It's not every day you see a drop in replacement board that is better in every way than the original by the manufacturer.

Unless you know where CJ hides them! I love this pedal also.  I used a blue leD instead of the red....because.
