Here’s chuck’s thread about this circuit: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/this-week-on-the-breadboard-the-quicklime-girl.28098/post-364039 I like it- I can get that blown-out sound, and the gain stages provide a variety of tones. It was fun with a tele. Thanks @MichaelW for the board!

I have a cycle of expanding my pedalboard, adding more sophisticated programmability along the way, and then I hit a threshold where it’s too much and it distracts from just playing the instrument. I pared down over the weekend, and I found myself wanting to add a fuzz to the board. I have...

I’m a hobbyist with almost no background in electronics, but I absorb some info from reading stuff on the forum. I wanted to see if I understood this capacitor change correctly. I have a raincoat. C6 is 10nf. I didn’t have one, but I did have a 12nf, so I used it. Does this create a high-pass...

This all started with a wishlist post about the “The Noise”. I felt like a copycat effect was doable using the daisy seed. But along the way, I built a workflow where I tell AI what I want to do, compile and flash, try it out with my guitar and amp, and repeat. I realized I could make any...

The c2ce projects are so nice to build. Well thought out design, great docs, provided tayda drill templates, graphic art for uv printing… I went with the true bypass option on this. The preamp side of this can get some very nice grit on it. The tremolo has a very satisfying LFO wave shape. I...

Here is my 3rd ringer. This time it’s stock except I used matched 1N60s. No bypass- I don’t need it. It’s going to be plugged into a loop switcher. It will save precious real estate by being tucked into a small gap of unused space. Does not work with all jack sizes 😆

Appreciation of the DS-1 is relatively new to me. By the time I picked up an axe in the late 90s, I equated that $40 orange pedal to awful tone. I’ve learned a lot about pedals since then. I knew there had to be something special about it since I like recordings featuring the DS-1. This is my...

First off, this is not me building it. But it’s been a year and it’s made it to the paint booth, and I should have it in about a month. 🎉 The guy used to go by MP guitars, but he rebranded as Messenger Guitars and gave me the option of this being the first guitar under that name. He does...

The green ringer is one of my favorite pedals of all time. For years I played in a band where it was the only device between my guitar and my amp. This variation is the @DGWVI special (build report for that one here). 5817s for the diodes, 5087 for Q2, 10K pot for R4. One may call these knobs...

This was built on Aion’s “legacy” Refractor PCB. It’s the first completed build for the Bass pedal board I have planned out. It took a bit of digging to find the actual mods. I went off a photograph of the list of mods from this build report. I then compared the PPCB schematic to the Aion...

I love the Scarab Deluxe. It sounds great at all settings, it can go from OD to Distortion to Fuzz. It’s low parts count with no rare parts. So I did my typical 2nd build- remove controls I don’t need/change, fit it into a 1590B. As usual when I do stripboard, I go in with a vague wiring plan...

I’m excited about wrapping this one up. I love the Duo-Phase, but it’s large. While I really like two phasers, I can do my thang with one phaser. This board has a compact layout. Which is cool, because I was able to fit it in a 1590B, my preferred enclosure size. I used the 2.5mm wide 470nf...

I was pretty excited when I found out that there was a DMM project that fits in a 125B. There’s a lot of parts here, but the MadBean docs really set you up for success. I did the input impedance mod, noise reduction mod, and extended modulation mod. I’ve calibrated it by ear and probe...

This thing has some interesting sounds. I did a few minor mods. I bridged pins 1 and 8 on the 386 (underside of the pcb) so it would be at minimum gain. I also used a 386-1 for less gain. And then I used a TL072 in place of the 4558. It stays fairly clean when I’m on single coils. You can get...

I heard this was a good boost, and I’m in a boost phase. This is my first JHS build. I’ve never even tried a JHS pedal before this. You could also say it’s my first Dumble pedal build. There’s no difference between the two from what I know. I actually have the notadumble fumble, but it stays...

I’ve been talking this circuit up in a few threads now, and realized I never wrote a build report for it. I think I was waiting to redo the enclosure artwork, but that probably won’t happen anytime soon if at all. I got hooked up with some transistors that matched the measurements in the build...

What are you using, where do you get them, do you cast them, etc Out of everything I’ve tried, for me a prominent indicator is the most important aspect. While I think some of the aluminum cylinder knobs look cool, I have trouble seeing the indicators due to how reflective they are. I have two...

Another bandwagon build. I wanted to try this thing out for myself. It’s kinda fun, and I can think of scenarios where I would use it, but it’s not really my style. Another one for the tone library. Acquiring the parts was a quest. It didn’t bother me as I was in no rush. I think my favorite...

I’ll start with shoutouts- thanks @HamishR for bringing up the circuit in my Arche Boost build report. Thanks @szukalski for the great layout. It’s resdef on one side and value on the other- best of both worlds. And finally thanks @MichaelW for hooking me up with a PCB. From what I understand...

I think my build is working the way it is supposed to, so I didn't post in troubleshooting. I'm building a 2-channel loop switcher that is intended to be controlled by 2 switches connected via a TRS cable. I think I made several assumptions that were incorrect. My real question is: What would...
