love The Killing Joke art… seems perfect for the madness inside!

This was the first new pedal I’ve put together in over 10 years… All of my projects from back in the day were done on perf board or hand etched pcbs. All I can say is this is a whole lot cleaner! The circuit is a lot of fun especially late at night when it gets into self oscillation mode…...

i always been a little crazed when it comes to ordering parts… i use mouser/digi-key/jameco for everything i possibly can. the price discounts on even just 100 lot of passives is too good to pass up. and i like to be picky about manufacturers, etc. during my first round of building pedals in...

Not sure if this is the right sub forum for this or if it was common knowledge but it looks like Small Bear/Synth Cube will be selling in a week or so. Attached is a photo from the Synth Cube facebook page.

i’ve yet to wander down the fv-1 path but that sounds like an interesting idea…. a lot of flexibility there as i could effectively have it be multi purpose

thanks will check them out

hey all i came across an old crybaby wah shell in a box of junk and it got me thinking about non-wah uses. outside of a univibe style circuit has anyone repurposed a wah shell for an interesting circuit? seems some modulation circuits could be fun but size may be an issue (assuming i keep the...

i did not socket it. i hooked alligator clips to the leads to dissipate the heat but that may not be necessary. i havent built that particular project so i can’t tell you about mods.

you got it.

i commend the thought. it’s nice to see people thinking about more than their own little world. and it’s nice to see a civil discussion about the situation. my 2 cents…. what russia is doing is bad. but nothing compared to the horrors china has committed in tibet or against the uighur...

ive generally found success by doing the following: - find 4 to 6 boards i’d like to build - make a master spreadsheet of all components - order extras of everything - look through the parts lists of other pedals - notice some components are ever present and add a few more of those to the...

I believe the rated shelf life on average is 10 years. but there are clearly thousands of pedals and amps in the world that do just fine for decades. so i think the reality is a combination of build quality and randomness thrown in. but even if a 10 year old cap is fine when you put it in...

awesome. thanks! it’s amazing how much i forgot in 13 years…

I started building pedals in 2008… plenty came out well and I collected a decent stock of components. But I developed an allergy to rosin. Needless to say the smoke from soldering put an end to my building. But long story short, enough time has passed that my allergy is gone and i’ve picked...
