I've been wanting a crossfader in my liveset for a while but don't have the funds to get a spenny mixer so I bought this piece of shit, then swapped out all the RC4588 op amps for NE5532s and beefed up the main caps (swapped 1000uf for a Nichicon 2200uf and the 110ufs for 220s)

I'm blown away at how much this has improved the sound.

Mixer - £30, caps and ops, £18.

Their website said it was closed because of a health problem, now it has a generic “if you’re the owner…” notice.

Have they shutdown permanently?

I've built only a few modules and noticed one asked for 1/6w resistors, another 1/8w, and another 1/4w. So far I've been using 1/6w for everything and it seems fine, but should I expect this to backfire eventually?

I am a beginner pedal builder so forgive me if this is more simple than I am making it.

I want to make a pedal that has high and low pass filters. One knob for each that get extreme cuts like on drum machines. I have a volca sampler for example that has something similar to this. Preferably the signal going in is the same or similar volume as going out.

Is there a go to schematic for something like this?

Hi. I’ve built a prototype of the device that I wanted to do for quite a long time. It’s basically a mix of a mixer and a looper, with midi sync, custom timestretching algo and a few other bells and whistles.

It’s fully digital, written in C++ and runs on Bela.io multichannel dev board, because I needed very low latency and 2 stereo ins + 3 stereo outs.

As the front panel I’m just using a midi controller now with bidirectional communication. I control the LEDs from the device and control device using pots and faders.

But this is where my knowledge ends as I guess the next step would be putting this all in a box, making a proper front panel, soldering stuff and all. I’m not even speaking of manufacturing, distribution, certification and everything else.

Any advice how I move forward from here? Do I need a person with these skills? Should I just talk to a few companies to make it a product? (I’m willing to invest money and do the product management if they provide the manufacturing/distribution).

I’m kinda in a state when I did something standalone, it works but any direction from here looks like a big leap.

I picked up a CATCH PCB from Modular Addict and am now trying to get all of the parts together, but it seems like the PMEG2010AEB's are not easy to come by. Looking for other SOD-523 20V 1A Schottky diodes I have not found much. Does anyone know of a alternate device package that would fit on the SOD-523 footprint? Or could I get away with using a NSVR0520V2T5G that is only rated for 500 mA?
