Just finished up the Slumlord. Great range of tones on this. As for the graphics, I did them on my laser then clear enamel coating after. The inspiration was "if I'm going to build a f##king overdrive. Then it's going to be a f##king overdrive". So here's my f##king overdrive

Ah, this could be perfect. So it shows here I can pick up to 8 programs. Since Pythagoras only has 3 effects, I assume I would pick Program 0, 1 and 2 as they are the first 3. And for anyone familiar with Pythagoras, can I have them on/off as needed (all on, all off, or 1/2 on at a time?)...

Hi all. I've built the VHS and love it, but was wondering if there is any PCB out there (or chip that can be programmed) to be able to do a Delay, Reverb and Chorus all in one pedal. IF not, what are the smallest PCB footprints that I could either wire together in either a 1590bb or 1590dd if...

Hi all. I just finished the Angry Andy (regular, not the plus) and was wondering if anyone has a link to a drill template they may have created for it on Tayda. Search feature brings up the Angry Andy Plus, but I'm not seeing the original. I can do it myself if needed, but thought it would be...

Sorry, I'm a space cadet at the minute. Was looking at my next build doc right before typing this!!! But is it not the BAT46 clipping for the Rory tone? Or am I reading the schematic wrong(very likely!!)

For the day that's in it (if you don't know about the day, Rory Gallagher's strat was just auctioned off, and will now be headed to a museum in Ireland where it belongs) . Just finished my Vox in a box pedal, which I call Vox Populi Switch in the left position gives your Rory sound , in the...

Yes, you can etch bare enclosures with it. I will try to find my first one and post a pic(completely got the alignment wrong because I forgot to refocus when I changed the lens). One of the easier ways to do it is to first lay a flat cleaning pass over the entire surface, then anneal on it...

The trimmer allows you to adjust the intensity of the peak. The peak knob sets the frequency center, turning right of center gives a brighter / higher "quack", left is darker /lower The zone emphasizes the effect of the harmonics from low to high. Peak at 2pm, zone at 4pm gives a perfect...

You don't hear a lot of people talking about the Blues Breaker being an essential pedal, probably because it's lower gain, but it's an absolute beauty of a thing. Just a slightly overdriven tube breaking up sound, it's a perfect pedal to do a bunch of stuff. You can get some John Mayer vibes...

Yeah, I have a footswitch for doing batch jobs (i use it for more than just pedals). So I click it once and it frames each part in red light as seen above. Then I click it again and it starts the engrave . Once the engraving is done, it defaults back to the red light framing, so you can place...

It has a red light preview

I've built two of these for other people recently. The volume pot variance isn't as wide as I would like, but the sound itself is fantastic. Set everything to between 1-2pm and get the perfect "Money for nothing" vibe

I've upgraded to a fiber laser. Best move ever. So much better alignment and detail. Cock Eyed Wah (Park and Ride) I'm just about to post this on the build reports side. The graphics were requested, as was the color. This is the Park and Ride pedal

Update: getting more dialed in
