What is a good trem pedal build?

Ah, thanks I get it now. I can see the LED corresponding with the up/down, bright/dim mode. Although the first position, up/down sounds like it is doing a lot more then the other, which sounds much thinner. I am intending on using this for bass. I wonder if this makes any difference?

I am building the double sided pcb. I edited my OP for corrections. I meant to say that the overview talks of a up/down switch, which I saw demonstrated in a uTube video. Didn't notice it doesn't now have one until it was all built. It was one of the things that attracted me in the first place. Was it removed/replaced for a good reason?

Also, is there anything that would make this pedal more voiced for bass? Not that it doesn't sound quite good already.

I didn't notice until I powered up and bench tested my madbean nautilus that the project overview mentions an up/down switch, but the pcb and schematic has a range switch in it's place. I will be using this on bass guitar, and was actually looking forward to the up/down switch. Anyone know where it went?

I went to my local supply house and measured several 2000 pF rated ceramics until I found two that measured 1800 and 1740. Close enough, and it works first time powered on!

Hello. I have everything I need for a nautilus build, except the two 1n8 caps. How imperative is this value, could I use 1500 pF instead? Thanks.

I am closing in on finishing a Nautilus, and I notice the pc mount pots are very close indeed to the circuit board. I wonder what is the preferred method for making sure they don't short out the board? A non-conductive sheet of material placed between, perhaps?

Forgive me if this has already been knocked around, I'm new here and just learning my way around.

Why does the nautilus call for a 3P4T mode switch when it appears that a 1P3T or even a 2P3T would do? Am I missing something? Thanks.

Ah! So it is! thanks guys.

Hi everyone! First post. I am planning on building my first pedal, a nautilus. (I have built several guitar amps). I wonder what is the recommended enclosure for this project? Thanks!
