The Magnetron colors my tone, so I choose the Seabed

Great looking finish work and tidy soldering

I had no idea the direction of the keyway was a matter of import... Before I began building I checked my commercially purchased pedals and some have the keyway on top, some on the side and some on the bottom. I have been putting them on the bottom after reading a comment on this thread. Carry on!

You should attempt one. I get lost in it for many hours. I went to the workshop today at 12 and when I looked up it was 8pm. My first few were 1590a builds were ok, but I do it a lot different/better now. I got these Tayda boards specifically for 1590a builds. I will stick a Tube Screamer in one...

I see. Too much going on in a 1590a for all that exposed metal. The Tayda SMD boards I got were great so far. I did get a hole thru version of the tube screamer and they curiously have the drive and volume swapped. They probably made ten thousand boards so they just sell them that way and when...

IA mini SD-1 is just what I needed. It growls and snorts and does the thing with some great clipping options. There is a 6 position dip switch that I messed with and finally settled on the settings you see here. If my math is correct, there are 64 different combinations to shape your sound.There...

I corrected. It was just yellow. They have so darn many colors. I do my own decals but I think the uv labels are probably the best - I just prefer to control every aspect of it and not wait for many weeks.

This was Tayda I think it was just yellow - smooth gloss

Oops, yes Muffin factory was on my mind.

Thanks for the comment. I have a MF board with the faceplate and have heard nothing but good things.

I think some folks on here could answer that because I do not have experience with the factory

The Arkaim/Megalith. is high-gain circuit, with complex contouring controls The Snuffy Fuzz is a low-frequency fuzz circuit. Arkaim's tone is saturated and scooped, Snuffy is gated, mid-forward in tone. Both can be used with Bass.

Very uneven and rumbling, sometimes flubby, fuzz. Hard to dial in useable tones for my style of playing. It sustains forever and the controls do not seem all that useful for controlling the fuzz. The potentiometers have names like Output, Wool, Eq and Pinch. The circuit is thick and low...

I agree! I think it is the special sauce that gives it the flavor. I just built and plugged in a Snuffy Fuzz. I love it. Will do a build report tomorrow but check that one out! Just common parts and common transistors.

I think so. I put a Timmy in a 1590b and the board is too big by a lot. 2.2 × 2.25 × 0.5 in - I sanded the width
