I dont know exactly what he used Greg, i think it's a 5-pin DIN though

8 pin mini DIN. You need 7 wires between the two.

Technically, you could use the 8th for the output and stick that jack down with the inputs on the pedals. That would further free up the main unit to sit on a stand or table.

The jacks come with 100mm of leads already on them, so makes the work easier. Available at Mouser. Part number will be in the build doc.

Gotcha!

Please.. please.. please tell me that the pots needed in the treadles are 10K Linear!

Hello,

signed to the forum just to congratulate everyone involved in the process!
I am on position #30 for the Digitana Reissue - and there goes almost 9 years in the process.
For sure I am up for some PCBs (my father already told me he wants me to build one for him too).

Have some questions too.

1. Is there any reason for using mixed LM13700 and 3080 instead leaving half LM13700 disconnected?
2. Since the output is already on the main enclosure, would be a bad idea to enclose the preamp there too? Leaving only the CV circuit on the pedals. This way it could be built like a standalone box if you do not want the CV pedal for making changes on the fly.

Congrats again, the work is really incredible .

All parts of the LM13700's are used.  The original unit used 3080's

The only place we used a 3080 was where we had a stray single and I didn't want redundant pins by using a 13700.

The preamp is in the pedal on the original, we wanted to keep it as close to original spec as we could, also there isn't much spare room on either of the large pcbs so it made sense.
