Build went really well, sat on the workbench for some months before I finally ordered an enclosure then another couple months to finish the wiring. It does what it does. I find it cuts a lot of volume but that may be how it works. Here it is, simple design, 1590B cream color with brown accents.

In the beginning of 2025, I decided it was time I built my first king of tone. While at it, why not build two of those. It’s not that it a complex build, but time started missing, then it was motivation. And I started moving things around and played with the jester mods. I don't like the knob...

Just finished this one last night. Everything worked as it should first try. That is really satisfying. It's my second chorus build after the AionFX take on the Small Clone and I took extra time on both those builds to pick the closest values I could find for each component. It really paid off...

I finished this one a couple weeks ago, I'm not quite happy with it, it's rough. It cuts all the signal on the first third of the pot, then is really hard to dial in. When I ordered the transistors, one of them was out of stock but a "direct replacement" was proposed. I used it and I'm not so...

This week-end, I made a discovery. On a batch of 5mm clear red LEDs I bought from Tayda a couple years ago, the flat side is the anode! I was breadboarding a 555 game buzzer circuit and my leds would never go on. I thought I was going crazy. I had to stop and test my leds individually and made...

It's been a while since I posted a build report. It's also been a while since I've taken the time to spend some time at the bench. This build has been laying on my bench for at least 3 months, fully popuulated, everything inside the enclosure only waiting to be wired. So last night, I started...

I really slowed on the builds. I have a curds and whey on the bench that only needs to be wired, wires are already cut. I also have a muffler, kewpie, eq anyone and a cobalt (ala Chuck) that had all the resistors put in and I just soldered those. I wanted to complete something this week-end...

I had that board populated and laying around on my bench for a few months, did not seem to find the time to build lately. Last winter, I won a Stompbox Parts gift card generously. I picked a pink 1590B enclosure and thought it would be perfect for a pink alpaca. The build went really well...

Hi guys, one of my first builds was the lowballer, I always thought it was a noisy pedal, it making a sound like some high wind. The treble control introduces that sound, it gets annoying (to me) around noon. I tried reflowing everything, still sounds the same. After reflowing, I noticed the...

So it's been some time since I've posted a build report. It's mainly because time has been missing lately and I'm starting to slow down things a bit. I've still got a few builds to fine tune and have a couple waiting to be boxed and another couple of unpopulated boards. That one, I've build...

So, I've built two of those. One per BOM, works great One, I've upped two dc-dc converter for higher current output. I have problems, I was using my L4 to test bigger current draw, and maybe there is something wrong with the L4, BUT even with a simple fuz pedal that works on a 100mA output...

I've completed some power units. First, USB power, ideal for powering pedals that dont need too much curreent. Next, a 4x100mA power brick. That one is for my wife, who always forgets to remove the input from her battery powered pedals. Last, a 2x100mA, 1x200mA and 1x300mA. I planned to power...

Not sure where I messed up... I did not take the exact parts from the BOM for the DC-DC and the voltage regulator, maybe I missed something because they look like equivalent parts. Yesterday, I had problems with my L4 running on battery, so I thought that it was a good time to test the USB...

I'm on a fuzz quest. Still have a couple more to build. This time, I've built the dream fuzz. My wife bought the OpAmp Big Muff as her fisrt pedal and after a while sold it. Lately she started saying maybe she should have kept it. I already had the board so I made it next in what I now call my...

I had the enclosure in hand and the wife wanted a way to go from clean to effect chain. So while I'm finishing my dream fuzz build, I took a pause and made this. Should be fine to activate with flat ernie ball patch cables

On the bass, if I crank the treble over noon, I get some wooshing/whistling sound that is very present and fade slowly. Really noticeable on the clean setting. Normal behaviour or I start troubleshooting ?

Anyone know how much that pedal should draw ? I've built the 4 tap power supply and while testing my taps, everything looks ok on my byrdhouse and redshift (just tested they power on) but I first tried on the L4, it turns on/off/on/off ... I have 4 x 100mA for this built, I plan another with...

First time using these. @Robert can I adapt that board to match the new revision or there is too much changes made ?

Nothing spectacular here, we've all seen a few of those lately. I had my mountain bike in parts on my work area for quite a moment, and just finished putting it all back together this week end. Every other year I injure myself mountain biking, but it's the first time my bike has injured me...

I must say, that board was the most intimidating I have ever bought. It's a fact, some people here dont like AionFx daughter board concept and I do not wish to start that debate again. To me it's never been a problem and I'll deal with it if I ever need to. My greatest fears was having to...
