Wow! Great build Anyone else drooling over the ground wiring? That looks really sleek and clean!

I don’t know specifically. However, if it is named for Led Zeppelin, there is a song called “Lemon Song.”

Nice job! I am always in search on tones similar to Led Zeppelin, so I will likely give this one a try too!

Agreed. Spencer is like @Robert, an incredible person who goes out of their way to help and does fantastic work.

The graphics were inspired by the Maestro phase shifter PS-1A. @amplifyfun did the UV graphics.

This is a nice build. I like the options available for tone sculpting. It is less “chewy” when compared to Aionfx’s Quadratron, but is brighter than the Quadratron. I think the Redshift is a more versatile pedal. As for the build, it is straight forward and a good option for someone wanting to...

I have liked it. I would characterize it like a mix between fuzz and overdrive. That being said, I do have a different rig. Mine is a single coil or humbucker guitar into an AC30 clone. As for the buffer, I would have to test it. I don’t recall having a buffered pedal before it. That being...

I was skeptical about this pedal after reading @MichaelW ’s build report. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I really like the smooth and quiet compression and the treble control. At low settings, I like the grit, but I didn’t like it at the high settings. The build requires some parts that...

@MichaelW If you still have the left over delay chips, I would suggest this build. It is a fantastic delay with tap temp and modulation. https://electric-canary.com/phone/iridescent.html

Nice, clean build!

I cannot be sure from the pictures, but I wonder if you have the LED connected in the opposite direction.

This is my favorite Univibe version. The aspect that makes it better is the cancel toggle. I love having the preamp as always on. As always, great build and discussion.

That is great info and offer. I have a ton of zener diodes, and enough options to add up to the required voltages. I can make this work. This info gets me going and helps a lot. Thanks!

I have a huge packet of zener diodes, but I failed to look and see if I have 2V7 diodes. Unfortunately, my pack doesn't have that value. In the Cetus, the 2V7 diodes are used in series with another valued Zener diode. I believe that they are being used as clippers. One is paired with a 3V6...

This pedal reflects @blackhatboojum hard work with this PCB. It is a monster of a circuit, but a great, warm delay. I had some added clock noise, but placing a 22 pf capacitor across pin 1 and 2 of the 4558 IC cleaned it up nicely. I do not recall the reasoning, but it worked!
