Oh, I didn't want to imply that the PCB itself is faulty, that was just about where the problem (or solution) was located: the footswitch and its board. I also used those foot switch breakout before on other builds and everything was fine. I'm sure I messed up something, but I just don't get it.

This is such a great boost, a circuit that feels to have been "tweaked" to perfection. (by the wizard Chuck D. Bones, Celestial Engineering) The gain control goes smoothly from big and clean to hairy balls and even into fuzzy goodness. And all of that with the warm and wooly tonal bliss of a...

This is a pretty nifty EQ pedal for bass, combining a LPF, HPF (both with resonance) and a semi-parametric EQ for the mids. You can do all sorts of stuff to your signal, like tuning it to a specific room or doing cab sim things or (....). Not much else to say, really. It's delivers as promised.

No heat shrink down there. Nice job with the rivets, maybe too fancy for me. I tend to jumper things that should be connected but aren't.

Thanks and adding a wire (9V jack -> 5817) was the laziest way to solve the "huh, no power?" situation of the already boxed circuit ;)

A chorus/vibe pedal is not my main cup of tea, but everybody seems to like this one, so I just grabbed the PCB with my last order. And yeah, it sounds great. The "Blend" knob travels through interesting types of sounds. The LAG knob is cool, the switch pretty subtle. I had to double up on the...

And the final build of my Parasit trilogy: the Higgs Particle Phaser. I'm not a really phasor guy and don't have a lot of comparison to make, but this thing phases alright and I like the sounds it produces. It can go slow enough and fast enough for my tastes and most importantly, it handles...

Next Parasit project, this one is a pretty special kind of noise maker. Subspace Transmission Fuzz. Of course, there is a fuzz in there, a pretty cool "comparator based fuzz" as they put it. The star of the circuit is a ISD1820 lo-fi record/playback chip that lets you record up to 20 seconds...

I got some Parasit Studio PCBs for a change. They have some interesting stuff. This here is what they call the Liberation Frequency Fuzz. The name is a nod the band REFUSED and their masterpiece the shape of punk to come. This reference alone was reason enough for me to build this fuzz as I...

Here's another one from the sheepload of signal destruction I got. The DAFT Fuzz. "It's thick, it's heavy, it's fuzzy. It's good for what dooms ya!" says the blurb and I totally agree. Great fuzz!!! It is supposed to sound like the Dunwich Amplification Fuzz Throne. Not faceplate this time...

The Baltimore Sonic Research Institute released the schematics of two early designs, this is their take on the SUPERFUZZ, called FZZ. It has a 3-band EQ and a blend. IN/OUT is like GAIN/VOLUME, I'd say. So, kinda in the HyperFuzz territory, it sounds heavy, fat and brutal. Really good stuff...
