I would like to make them an option, but unfortunately the supplier I've been using hasn't been doing great keeping up with my demand for stock, so I'm hoping to find a new supplier, preferably one with international plug options.

Why do I think I have read your answer before ? I'm getting a strange feeling I have asked the same question before.
Must be my great old man memory at work again.
I guess I will just have to buy even more stuff when / if you manage to source some better power supplies in the future.
Any chance you can make the Steddi Go available without the transformer ?
I have 2 Unagi E4305 transformers I bought to make XLR outputs on some amps at home so I can use one of them for now.
It will take at least 2 weeks before I get them delivered by Australia Post anyway.
Cheers

I'm taking annual leave for a much needed break.
This means building pedals and back yard projects
So… I built my first Mirage Tremolo with a bright switch. However… yes I should have gone that extra white coat under the colour…
Sounds beautiful pushed by my PA and then into my BassDude V2
…
When three triodes are not enough!!

The Blue writing on the Bassdude looks great, it really pops out.
Did you clear-coat the writing or something else ?
Glad to see you got all your mods done on the Bassdude, did you cut a lot of the PCB to fit the stomp switches in there ?
What does the Smooth-Smokey switch do ?

Thanks! Both the purple and the blue are the same colour on both pedals. But with the MT I only did a single layer of white under the colour. In the BassDude I did a double layer of white.
I put a clear gloss over the whole BD top, I don't like it as much for two reasons: Tayda took over a month to get it right without bubbles, it shows up fingerprints and minor scratches.
With the MT I put a gloss coat only over the colour layer.
I had to cut both wings off:
On Smooth, the extra triode is parallel to the first gain stage. In Smokey, the extra triode is added before the first gain stage in series.
This is my first attempts building a circuit board, I'm pretty happy with the result. I did have to slightly move the holes and I left one track out of my PCB design. Took a while to find, but when I did it was an easy fix.
You can see the extra black wire on my PCB. I've since updated my PCB schematic

Sorry if I am going off topic but I just want to mention that Silicon Chip magazine in Au has a nice little waveform generator project this month.
It runs on 3 Op-Amps and can generate square, triangle, pulse, ramp and sine wave outputs, the PCB's are only $5 AU so the postage will be the expensive part I imagine. ( I am going to order 2 PCB's for myself)
There are some SMD components but if I can do it with my old man eyes anyone can.
I think it is definitely worth a look and you can actually see the schematic online so you might not need to buy the magazine to build it.
I might just scan the article into my computer in case I ever need a digital copy for some reason, and I might draw the schematic up in KiCad just for the exercise to keep my mind ticking over.
There is also a front label PDF and a PCB tracks PDF for the double sided board so you can make your own.

Versatile Waveform Generator - March 2025 - Silicon Chip Online
This versatile waveform generator (also known as a function generator) is handy for a variety of uses, including audio equipment analysis, circuit development, displays and demonstrations and as a pulse source for developing switching and motor controls. It uses three op amps to deliver square...

I'm also looking forward to building a steddi. hope the new transformers come in soon!
I just noticed that there are some 500V ceramic capacitors at Tayda now, also some orange 600V and 400V film caps that are used in tube amps as well.
They might not be the right ones for us but I haven't checked, at least it is a step in the right direction.
I have asked a few times for them to get the 500volt dog bone ceramics in and I guess others have as well, the more requests they get the more likely it is they will get them in.
Time to ask for specific values now that they have some in stock.

I got me some more Sushi goodness on the way, a Steddi Go and a few others to keep me happy over the coming winter months down onder
Thanks for the heads up, I ordered two pcb's and an Unagi. I'll probably try Lightning Boy for the other one.
Holy SH!T, it's going to take Tayda nearly 4 weeks to make my enclosure for the Steddi Go, they are really backlogged right now.
I guess it is proof of how good their service is.
Oh well, I have to order about a dozen tubes for all the C2CE PCB's I got coming so I can take my time with that order.

i just finished this one and it sounds great:
Friendly reminder that the Sushi Box logo is trademarked and should not be used on C2C builds.

sorry about that. thanks for letting me know, although i can't remove it on that one now, but it's my own personal pedal and i will never sell it.
And I am still learning even though I have retired:

So here is my Bathtub Reverb for Bass.
Was happy with the build and used a three way Guitar/Deep Guitar/Bass mod and LED patch thanks to suggestions and tech advice from #Tassieviking
If you want this for bass, I must recommend the Bass mod for C2. I now get three different sound profiles which only extends the use of this pedal. But I'll be using a total of 144nF for C2 in normal bass play.
Some pics:
A three way C2 switch. When I installed the stock 22nF C2 cap I left extra pin through the pcb to give a secure mounting pont:
Now all it needed was a small bridge {blue} between one end of R12 and the RA Header:
Then install in the custom UV print:
Thanks Nathan for another fantastic project!!
I love the new sound

I think Tayda might be underestimating their abilities a little bit, I placed the order with 2 drilled and painted enclosures on the 25th of April and they were shipped on the 8th of May.(Over 800 items total order)
I think it will take about 2-1/2 weeks from order to delivery if DHL is as fast as usual, the parcel left Thailand on the 9th of May and customs clearance in Melbourne Au has already been done while the parcel is on the way.
I should have have it on Monday or Tuesday.
I picked up my Steddi Go PCB today as well at the post office along with 5 other C2CE PCB sets, this arrived at the post office on the 2nd of May so 10 days from order to delivery on the PCB's. That was using UPS I think and all previous orders have been with USPS from memory so that was a bit faster then normal as well.
I think I might be nearly set for the down under winter that is fast approaching, then again this is Tasmania and we can have snowstorms in summer and heatwaves in winter down here, I remember once we had about 40*C one summer day and a blizzard hit with lots of snow that evening.
No wonder we keep loosing people who go for a walk in the bush or the mountains, many people wear shorts and a T-shirt when they head off on a mountain track in summer and then get hit with a total whiteout after a few hours of bush walking. That single bottle of water they took along with them is not very useful any more, you should always bring warm clothes and other stuff on any hiking trips, even a 1 hour walk on a marked track.
