    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

    The Creamery Compressor (DOD MilkBox)

    Nice build. I need to make another one of these, it was one of my early builds. I'd be interested in testing op amps for this. I've read that the 4558 can be kinda...bad. Maybe TL072 or 5532 would be better?

    "That" Compressor: Dipper Compressor (w/Gerber)

    Bit of a necro bump here. I just ordered some of your boards for this (thanks!)....do you recall which LDR you used and which LED?

    Voltage divider issue

    You are correct. I noticed that after I posted and it solved my issue after a quick jumper. Thanks!

    Voltage divider issue

    I have the following schematic and voltages....I was under the impression that the 10K resistors form a voltage divider and VCC should therefore be ~4.5V, am I wrong?

    Elk Super Fuzz Sustainar (Japanese Big Muff clone)

    Always wanted to try a C taper for tone, good to know it seems like it'll work

    This is awesome, thanks!

    Mother FCKR (Ram’s Head Big Muff repro)

    It's beautiful! Where do yall get carbon comp resistors these days?
