As a thank you to r/diypedals, I’m offering free PCBs of my latest product (and probably my last new DIY tool for a while) - The Trim Buddy XL, a handy breadboarding companion.

Hi Guys,

Hope you’re doing alright.

To start, I want to thank you all again for being such a positive, supportive community.

Next I want to remind you (in case you missed it) that I’m offering 20% of any order from now through Dec 2nd. Use code: WHYNOT_RDT at checkout.

And finally, I wanted to offer you guys some free PCBs of my latest product. It’s likely the last DIY tool type product that I’m going to share for a while as I shift focus to other, more consumer friendly types of products.

Add a Trim Buddy XL to your cart and then use code:

TBXLRDT

at checkout.

Developing these tools and running this micro business has been a tremendous learning experience. I learned not only that I love making these things and working with audio electronics, but also that I really enjoy operating a business that serves this community. So while I may not be releasing any new tools in the next year or so, I will continue to replenish stock and take orders for the products I’ve already put out there.

Thanks again, everyone.

The gist is:

Instead of fumbling with fixed resistors while breadboarding, you can use this thing to just dial in your resistances using 3296W style trimpots and then jumper them wherever you'd have stuck your resistor legs.

Connect your multimeter to the loop hookups at the left of the board and simply flip a toggle switch to get a quick read on any of your trimpots.

The Trim Buddy XL offers up to six adjustable resistances.

Finally, if you need more than six resistances for a project, you can daisy chain multiple Trim Buddy XL's to each other using a three wire JST PH (2.0mm) cable to create a sizable array of variable resistors. This will allow your connected multimeter to read any of the daisy chained trimpots without having to move it from board to board.

That's it for now. Happy making, and thanks again, everyone. This has been a really fun experiment!
