Love the standard fuzz!

Nice work! I put my daughters to work soldering as well.

This is a pedal I want to like but, it just doesn't do too much for me. However, the pedal itself just screamed Mooninites so I went with that as the theme. I even made sure to name the controls in a condescending Mooninites manner. I enjoyed the building of the pedal and the designing but when...

Got it! I've noticed their drill templates are a bit tight on some of their builds and require specific jacks, etc to actually fit.

Nice build! I've got this and the other crazy lovetone pedals from Aion sitting in my backlog and just can't bring myself to start on them...

Don't tempt me. It sounds like a Neil Young and Crazy Horse themed pedal to me: Arc Weld Fuzz.

I'm going to have to switch to these, I was using VP3203N3-G in a TO-92-3 package and they're more than double the cost of the IRFU5305PBF. And awesome work!

It is a dual bass capacitor Baxandall EQ circuit. To adjust the bass cut / boost you'd need to modify R16, R17, C11, and C12. The general philosophy (and I'm greatly simplifying a lot and sure I'll be corrected :) ) of the Baxandall EQ is to keep the mids flat and either roll off or boost the...

Yeah, there is some drop. This article from RG Keen http://geofex.com/Article_Folders/mosswitch/mosswitch.htm is where I'd first seen it mentioned (using.a MOSFET instead of a diode). I don't see why you couldn't use a vp2106 or even something like a irf9540npbf I'd you're going to push a ton...

The goal of the power section is to get clean (for some definition of clean) DC power to your effect circuit as efficiently as possible and prevent damage to the effect if you plug in the wrong polarity. As long as your design does that you're golden. Personally, I'm a fan of power sections...

Great builds! I built 141G recently and really liked it too. How much auditioning of parts did you have to do with the Driving Notion? I'd love to see DEFX trace Infanem's Faye Sing A.. it's my white whale circuit.

I'm with you 100% on this. I ended up just fabbing some PCBs that match up to his kits DC and Boss slim line jack board and bought a bunch of premade jst connectors to speed up the build process and lessen my annoyance.

I've been using this mat from Amazon for about a year and it doesn't appear to be building up any static electricity from what I can tell. I've built almost all my boards on it and they've all worked.for me, but YMMV. https://a.co/d/0X7DWmG

Sorry for bumping this back up to the top but did you ever figure out your issue? I'm having the same problem and thinking its an IC issue.

I've found DHL to be the most reliable in central Texas. UPS and FedEx always seem to lose or misplaced an item I order or it shows up late at night where DHL shows up around lunch time all the time. Plus, Tayda sets their shipping rate to 99 cents for them quite often -- but I generally wait...
