New since January 2025 you mean?

I know, I was being a jackass! :)

Not familiar with the White Test, is it an overdrive?

Nice clean build! Would love to see one of your awesome demos for this! BTW, are you not worried that the leads to the power jack and the ground pads can crack over time?

Alien secretion?

Gorva knobs are $25 a piece… 😱

On Q1 or Q2? I’ll try that thank you!

Ah good to know! I didn’t socket these (the sockets I have don’t fit the PCB, for which the holes are spaced more closely to each other) so I’ll just leave them and keep the fuzz at 95%. Also I don’t have any subs at the moment.

That may not be enough. You may need some extra buffering either on send or return or both.

I hosted a pedal making workshop twice in a makerspace in Brooklyn a few years ago. It was fun and I think people liked it. I basically guided them through building a pedal (the Amentum). The space didn’t have great irons or equipment so getting good solder joints was hard and debugging was...

It’s been so long since I came up with the graphics idea that I forgot to explain: the colors are not random, they represent the spectrum of solar radiation. You know, to stay with the theme of the original. And Helios of course is the Greek god of the sun.

Alright, it seems like I am getting back into a groove building pedals. This is my second one this year and the 5th in about 6 months, which is a record for me after years of not building much of anything. Last famous words, I will post another build report in 2028 lol. I procrastinated...

Just finished my Sandspur and found this thread. Thank you @jjjimi84! I think this pedal sounds pretty good. But I am getting some weird artifacts if the fuzz knob is all the way up. If I pull back a smidge, the artifacts go away. These sound like a mix between a weird gating sound and space...

OMG I should teach my kids to solder! Very nice looking build!

Is it doable to put a decal on an enclosure that was already drilled? I have a bunch of them for projects in my backlog (I box all of them) and they would be perfect to try this with.
