i don't remember what gave me the notion to search for these but it definitely started when i switched to lead free solder(hotter temps, trying to protect sensitive components), i was able to track down a bundle of socket strips, i can trim to length as needed, three for transistors, singles or...

sockets!!

thanks, if i get your gist you mean use male/male pins, or custom bent solid pins (guessing leftover leads would work here too since the wont be wiggling around) to join the boards vs wires between them? thanks for the tip!!

LOL, probably doesn’t show the color so well but its actually baby blue, similar to OG CE-2, since its blue IRL I hope i still have a shot at the big concert hall in the sky even if it doesn't look like it on the internet!!

hoping to put this one to very good use, sound is fantastic! The build was a little more advanced than ones i have done in the past with the configuration pads on the board, but instructions were logical! i think this one has the backwards led square/round convention (at least for the board...

This is really cool, I am trying to find a project to do with my son who is a keyboard player, this sound like it would be a really good accompaniment project! [edited: I see that there are output modules needed to use the drum triggers, will keep investigating, curious what you are triggering...

I know this is an older one, but wanted to let you know, at least for me, this is one of the top pics that show in google's search results for PCBPedal.com, I had to double click it looked so cool, very nice pics of a cool build!!

Pretty simple build, I would highly recommend this build for first timers, other than the bias adjustment which raises some questions, the build itself is very straightforward and parts are well spaced for ease of soldering. Thanks again to @Robert for providing additional resources for bias...

Robert, thanks for the guidance and link!!

Thanks, i guess we were lucky, they were provided with the StompBoxParts.com kit: https://stompboxparts.com/kits/fuzz-face-diy-pedal-kit/ i dont know if they are always included, but they were definitely handy!

Anybody have any guidance or rules of thumb when setting bias for the Smili "Fuzz Face" Circuit? Played a little by ear, but Frankly I have no idea if I am tuning to the intent of the bias function in this design!

My elementary school aged daughter has officially caught the bug! Completed her second build within two weeks (ish) of our first collaboration, with supervision of course! We had one slip that scuffed the board a little, but in the end did not affect function, and that nasty distortion of a...

Happy to report, after much, ahem...procrastination..., I have finally embarked on the Pedal building Journey with my elementary school daughter!! Together we built the Stew Mac Swell Drive pedal kit, that uses the PedalPCB Procrastinator design (with attribution of course). One of many...

I looked too, but don't know enough about the circuit to know which one is a close match. If you figure it out, please post!! I would love to build one fresh!

I finally figured out how to unleash this pedal after buying used and struggling to get some good sound from it. I am not sure if this is a reflection of something wrong in the pedal, still trying to sort that out, but i have found that simply providing a buffered signal at the input restores...
