Thanks a ton for the suggestions! The war scythe is one of my all time favorites, I never did find the right transistor for the tone bender side but what I have works. I will certainly get the pharaoh, pyrocumulus and deofol. I do have a pcbguitarmania board for the black mystic, but the drill...

That was one of my first builds but I’m getting a ton of gating and almost no sustain. Is that normal or did I screw something up?

That will for sure be on my next order!

I might have to check it out, the one from effects layouts was underwhelming.

I’ve built the EF120 which is based on the DA120, but oddly when you search on the site for dunwich nothing shows up. Maybe there was a copyright problem? Unfortunately now I can’t find anything from them on their site.

Any more non-PPCB builds? I’ve exhausted most of the options from them. I’m also especially curious about clones of anything by Dunwich.

I’ve been building quite a few different fuzz pedals that are suited for doom metal and am looking for some more recommendations. To all the doom heads out there, what are your favorite diy projects you’ve built? So far I’m loving the FZ-2 clone, Hizumitas clone and life pedal clone. I’ve also...

I just didn’t bias it lmao. I swear to god I’m the dumbest man alive sometimes. Thanks so much for the help! This thing is badass.

Alright, finally made some progress. I swapped the in/out jacks and that solved the no bypass / no sound issue. The led is now working correctly too after some reflowing. Now I have a new problem. There is barely any sound coming out of this thing at all. The little bit of volume coming out of...

Thanks for all the advice. I haven’t had the time to work on it but I will tonight and report back.

I built the black mystic, but the drill template they had was fucked up and the pcb wouldn’t fit with the power jack. Maybe some day I’ll try again but I’m not trying to waste another 10 bucks and 30 minutes of my life.

When I get a little free time I’ll replace the 3pdt and check for bridges. Should I be worried about desoldering the 3pdt again? I don’t want to burn any traces but I’m not sure how easy that is to do.

I wired it that way before I redid it the way the 3pdt says. What happened was when I connected power the led wouldn’t turn off and there was no sound. Now the led works properly but no sound or bypass.

I’ve ran into a lot of trouble with this build. First of all, when I drilled the encloser the jacks were too far down, and I couldn’t fit them in. So I went back and drilled a little bit higher as you can see in the picture, but I’m afraid that it might not connect to ground. Second of all, I...

Yep! When I isolated one the problem is totally gone. Now just to keep adding more and seeing where things mess up. Thanks a ton!
