New Pedal Board + Two Pedal Builds (rambly with too many pics)

[bowanderror]

Wanted a preamp at the end of my chain that could both go the the amp and PA, so I whipped up this pre/DI box based on the Roland JC-120 clean channel and combine it with an active DI.

Hi storyboardist, I'm putting together a parts buy and wanted to possibly include the Paladin (if I can find the parts). For the 2SK209/2SK117, which Idss bin does the build require? I don't see it in the build doc, but maybe I missed it.

2SK209 IDSS classification:

• Y: 1.2-3.0 mA
• GR: 2.6-6.5 mA
• BL: 6.0-14 mA

Thanks!

I used the GRs in my prototype. These specifically:

Board's had bit of an update. Here's how it's looking as of this morning.



Swapped out DRV clone for a no-charge pump Klone, which I enjoyed far more than I thought I would. Bumped the Paladin preamp off cuz it was just so dang loud (sound guy hated me for a bit) I was just using it as a DI, and I could add a trem to the board by doing so. Right now it's the EQD Night Wire, but I'll probably swap it for my Native Audio Heat Wave. I'm also working on a tap tempo PT2399 delay that might end up there as well.

I love the looks of that guitar.

Hi Storyboardist! I'm finishing up this build, but want to skip the stomp in lieu of a simple on/off rocker for the +9v. (I plan on using this as a studio tool.) Do I need to account for/jumper any of the stomp pads at the bottom of the PCB? They're numbered, so I'm not 100% sure what each pad does.

Just connect your input jack to footswitch pad 1 and output to pad 7. If you want the LED on at all times (all times there's power anyway) connect pad 4 to 5.

I have a question about the JC120 preamp circuit like the Paladin. The author has included a Direct Out circuit in this. However, for my use it is not necessary and I will not use it. Can I then omit the part as I indicated below and connect the preamp-out jack directly to R19/R20? That's how it happens in the "original" I think too.
