AB 2016. My pedalboard only has one available ps tap and it's 12vdc. The pedal is all setup for 9v and working fine. ok?

Been rolling VTL's and the build doc has a pic of an assembled unit. To me it looks like the VTL is upside down with the + and Cathode on the wrong side. I'm having a crisis and i need clarification on the orientation of the Vactrol. Now my pcb is black (maybe a different circuit?)

Build doc images





update: after some continuity testing on the board it looks like the build image is correct!

The compressor is working and all the controls function but when the compression is over 12 o'clock there is a slight warble in the tone almost like a vibrato on an amp. how do i stop that?

Got this board from a member. Scoured the long thread at FSB and the BOM links are dead as the hosting site is defunct. I have collected different portions of the build such as Caps list and other lists that don't match up at all. Any help would be appreciated, i've posted for help over there but no responses.

i ran out of Electrolytics. Are these tantulum ok or should i pull them?

Having trouble finding the 250K trimmers, nobody has them not even ebay.
Will these Tayda ones work in place of the Bourns 3362p?

Just a heads up about these. I ordered a bunch from mouser for some of the new projects. They are full size and wont fit the new mini boards.

Instructions say to omit R8 for true bypass wiring. Should i remove it from the pcb?

will the Timelapse support (4) MN3005's? Hopefully so to get close to a ehx tt1100. My BBD's await. Any eta on the project?

C10,C11 1n caps. I forgot to order these so i used the following, ok?

Finished my Pork Barrel. Everything's working as it should and i biased it. Using, the MN3007 BBD. It seems the effect isn't very prominent (wet). With the depth maxed it makes a subtle chorus effect. Was wondering if this is expected?

I really dig the pedal. Should i rewire it true-bypass?
