If anyone has an extra chip I would gladly take it off your hand$$.

Where can I get one of these boards?

A hawk and a hacksaw. You have already gone to the next world

It's not a rat's nest if you know where everything goes.

These pedals always look great. Where can I find this PCB?

Hello everyone,

I just finished an Aion Refractor but the volume is extremely quiet. I have to turn the amp up to 11 to barely hear it. Any advice on where I should be looking for the problem?

Gloss photo paper works best if you cut it to size and spray contact adhesive on it, and then place it on the enclosure.  You only need a couple of clear coats afterwards.

The glue will squeeze out the sides though but it's a good way to get a quick result.

This is photopaper:


I use adhesive inkjet paper normally, but it takes MANY, MANY, MANY coats as it's very porus.  You also may need to mask off the top of the enclosure and spray it white as the paper will become a bit transparent.  Sometimes, the black ink will repel the clear slightly, so you get a bit of an embossed effect until you get enough clear on.  As usual, patience is key, and lots of light coats, don't get in a hurry as it has a lot of potential to run or react with the glue.  This is an example, using a lacquer that didn't give any issues with the paper.



The best thing I've found is waterproof laser adhesive paper.  Inkjets will not dry on this, but it only needs 2-3 coats of clear.  The colours aren't as vivid as inkjets though, or as high quality normally.  It works fantastically for text based designs.

This is laser adhesive paper.


If you check out my build reports, I detail how I get each one finished.

Solid gold. I'm going to use some high gloss photo paper

So if I wanted to put a piece of paper on an aluminum enclosure and sprayed some clear enamel on it, would that hold the paper there forever?

That's a lot of boost pedals!

I thought of this when I posted it. It is a very serious boost, but really it is just a bunch of projects that need to be boxed. I was on quite the roll between T-gives and Xmas then took a  vacation (cabin, wilderness, champagne at breakfast lifestyle) now I'm back and ready to box.

Hey check out this combo I'm working on

I tried another pt2399 chip that I have in another functioning build. No results. Here is a  pic of the solder side.

Hello all.

I built the Glam pcb , but the effect is not working. I do get a bypass signal and when the effect is engaged I get signal, but there is no chorusing going on. The Green LED at the top (D2) stays lit the entire time and does not flicker. I've tried different transistors and ICs but no results. I have attached photos and voltages.

I appreciate any help that I can get.

UPDATE: I went through and inspected the wiring for the 3pdt and some connections on the PCB. Everything is working fine now.

Substitute spst switched for each slider on the dip switch. So use 4 spst switches.
