I tried it using the browser “Duck Duck Go” and it brought up only 3 examples. When I used Google’s search engine… Wow! What a difference! Pretty cool ‘hack’ if you ask me! Thanks for sharing that Barry!!
I am loving the tones that I have been able to dial in on this pedal. I think this is my favorite one so far. Regarding the time involved, this build, with a considerably higher part count, took me the better part of 12 hours over the course of 2 days. I worked slow and double checked all of the components before doing any soldering. I will admit that my wife was at work both of those days so I had no interruptions or distractions for this build. so it was all on me if I botched something up. 😉
@Bradly, thank you for the kind words. For holding small parts in place while soldering I use Blu Tack. $7.00 on Amazon.
I have had my ‘wad’ of it for a couple of years now and as you can see it is no longer blue. Great stuff really!!
@Zelix,
Nothing on any of Barry’s PCB’s is scary or daunting. Sometimes, the high part count PCB’s can look a little overwhelming, but just take it slow and easy, and you will be okay. Just an FYI: On any builds that I do, I print out the bill of materials (BOM) and use that as a checklist as I pull the parts from the bins. Then, when I am ready to assemble the PCB, I use that same list to check off the components as I install them. I always start with the smallest components first, e.g., resistors, diodes, etc., followed by capacitors, IC sockets, and transistors.Hope this helps…

A functioning pedal right out of the gate, that is a great thing! I built my first pedal back in January of 2021 (which BTW did not function right out of the gate) but a little help from a couple of forum members, I had completed my first pedal. And I was addicted!! Three and a half years later I have 83 pedals in my arsenal and getting ready to start number 84. Keep up the good work!!

Great looking build!! Love the hardware choices. Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for your Doom Prophet build!
-=SteveONice work!! How true about wanting to play more. I have build all of the NT series ‘tri” circuits minus the Doom Prophet (almost finished with it) and rarely find enough time to enjoy them all.
Thanks Zelix for the kind words! Be sure to post your finished pedal in the ‘Show off your build’ section of the forum!
Steve
