    This Week on the Breadboard: The Quicklime Girl

    Did you use the 15n input cap? I'm building mine soon, was thinking of socketing it to taste

    Darlington transistors exist...do Sziklai pair transistors exist?

    Are they called something else?

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Quicklime Girl

    This looks really neat. I love when circuits have two different drive/gain knobs. I might make a quick board for it.

    Two Aleph Null builds

    Yeah just letter stamps and ink Got these 5817 from mouser

    Two Aleph Null builds

    Moka Pot and Clever Hans. Haven't played enough with the Moka but I can already tell the Clever Hans is gonna be a new favorite for me. Build one! Thanks @Aleph Null ! Oh one thing, I couldn't fit the 1N5817 I had in the holes very easily so I just omitted them

    Sandford and Sonny BlueBeard Fuzz schematic?

    In my experience the diodes and the 47n or so caps near them make the biggest effect on the overall sound

    SSM2166 Compressor (with mods)

    Are you using the noise gate built in to this one?

    A Simple Big Muff

    I think this one's better, but if I know myself I'm gonna make another Thanks to @szukalski for the backlit faceplate tutorial! I think next time I need to make the CLR smaller https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/back-lit-faceplate-tutorial.27033/

    Executive fuzz and polarity

    Am I correct in thinking this schematic will invert the polarity of the signal?

    A Simple Big Muff

    I have some thoughts after some time -I don't like the C50K, the sweet spot is now way to the left on the rotation -for my taste these diodes are clipping too much -it's my belief that the germaniums are tightening up the bottom end, maybe too much for me I've built a 2nd one with silicon...

    A Simple Big Muff

    After seeing some new components in the shop I decided to make this. It has some features I've been wanting to try: -No sustain pot, just straight through -C50K tone pot -Resistor arrays for maximum build speed -Russian npn transistors paired with germanium pnp to form Sziklai pairs in the...

    What's the special nature of Russian 2D503B diodes?

    Alright guys. Yes I could get my DMM out but can I confirm here that the right end is the cathode?

    Overloader! (6 Transistor Big Muff)

    This is a cool idea

    Hissing noise goes away when pad is touched

    built another one of these with modified layout - still noise maybe I have a bad chip, I pulled it from the old one so I need to rule that out still edit: no, still has noise with the other chip

    Guyatone PS-021 (AionFX Meridian)

    Yeah this is a cool compressor, pretty even with the creamery in my book (though very different sounding) Nice build
