Impressive! I think this is the first time I’ve seen two PedalPCB boards in a 125B.

My latest overdrive obsession is the Way Huge Saucy Box. The Effects Layouts Spice Runner was my gateway drug. I liked it so much, I quickly whipped up a custom PCB for the circuit, calling it the "Gigantic Sauce Container". That design was notable in that it was my first time using a...

I just ordered a second 40-pack of these: Edenseelake 40 Pack 7x5x5 inches Shipping Boxes Small Cardboard Boxes, Brown. For standard 125B pedals (or smaller), 7x5x5 (inches) seems to be big enough for a just-right amount of packing material. If you only need one, it's probably not worth buying...

Did you hand-draw the vacuum tube for your enclosure artwork? Or do you do like me, and just grab random clip art off the net? If the latter, I used a very similar-looking tube in one of my builds.

That looks absolutely fantastic! I try to clean all the flux off my boards after I'm done soldering, but they still don't look half as neat as @MichaelW's builds (or, frankly, most of the other builder around here). If he had to bend the pot legs to make them fit into an enclosure, then that's...

This is a prototype 3-in-1 build for a client (my one and only client). When he engaged me for the phaser build, he was also asking about fitting three circuits into a single enclosure. Ideally he wanted all three in a 125B enclosure, but we settled on a 1590BBS. He's a fan of my soft-touch...

Here's my second build, using the BLMS limited run enclosure. I think it looks significantly better.

You mean a Burr-Brownish flavor?

Looks great! Have you by chance measured the current draw with either and both channels on? I’m curious how much current the optical bypass requires.

@disssa - the last picture in your first post shows the "innie" DC jack soldered to wires, which are in turn soldered to the PCB. I'm guessing you had to un-solder something and re-solder during final assembly? Great looking build and PCB!

Thanks! The Cast Iron is indeed a Timmy with an active mid control. But the MT-10 Mostortion (aka Misfit/Oxide/Quantum) isn't really a Timmy derivative. At a general/very high level, they are all diodes in an opamp feedback loop clippers, but take a different approach to tone control. The...

I reviewed my order history, looks like I only ever had a single 3260. That was from Mouser, back in 2020, part number 968-CA3260EZ (this link might work). But Mouser now shows that as "Restricted Availability: Mouser does not presently sell this product in your region." (My region is...

The AionFX Quantum is yet another PCB for this circuit. I built two of those back in 2020. I ultimately sold them, then later decided I wanted to revisit that circuit, so I built the PedalPCB Oxide. Fun trivia: the Karma MTN-10 is a current-production clone of the Ibanez MT-10 Mostortion...

I've really been loving this Effects Layouts Spice Runner (based on the Way Huge Saucy Box) that I built recently. Enough that I felt the circuit deserved my custom PCB treatment. Here I present my "Gigantic Sauce Container". The circuit is interesting in that the drive knob is a dual-gang...

Side jacks on a 125B? Blasphemy! I’m just kidding of course! That’s one of the things that makes DIY so satisfying, you get things exactly like you want. Absolutely great great looking builds, thanks for sharing!
