    Marsh Fuzz build: Monterey

    Man I dig this fuzz! It does a great job of getting that sound of jimi hendrix live at the Monterey pop festival. I love playing the intro that he played to Like a Rolling Stone. It also sounds pretty awesome with humbuckers. The graphic is the image of Jimi burning the strat with all but his...

    This Week on the Breadboard: Gator's OD - cb mod

    So my initial thought for enclosure is a 1590BB2 with that many knobs but that is pretty damn cool.

    This Week on the Breadboard: Gator's OD - cb mod

    At the risk of sounding like a complete suck ass... You are awesome Dave!!! Thank you for taking interest in my original moded circuit and taking it to a new level! The thing I noticed about overdrives and distortions is that high gain circuits tend to sound like crap at low gain settings. Low...

    Workflow for building a big batch all at once

    Personally I like to build one board at a time on a rotating circuit board holder. I install all of the resistors first along with diodes and if needed sockets for ICs. Basically all the physically low level components go on first as they will be hard to reach if you put the tall stuff on...

    Pedal companies that also sell pcbs/kits? (Frost Giant, EAE, Catalinbread,GCI)

    Hell,... I'll sell you a kit. Let me go take one of my pedals apart...lol Just a joke. I remember buying model airplane kits and the picture on the box was amazing. Inside was a pile of balsa sticks and a layout plan. Always felt like I paid too much at that point.

    Batch of Nexus of Plexus'

    That is a funny plural word...Plexus'...or Plexus's...or Plexuses Anyway some you got a glimpse of my version of the Golden Falk, (aka plexibreed circuit) in the boneyard in one of Chuck's great threads, on the circuit. I had several friends interested so I made a batch of four just like I did...

    Spatialist Reverb

    That is incredible! Fantastic execution of a great idea!!! Those knobs! This really gives this reverb more. Like getting due justice. Damn that is fun! Let's talk about that slam switch. What does it do exactly? Those knobs !...

    This Week on the Breadboard: BtR's SHO Yo' Muff

    Awesome! That circuit looks small enough I could squeeze it in the corner of breadboard with the Gator Drive!

    This Week on the Breadboard: Gator's OD - cb mod

    here's some rough demo video. Some mid gain, high gain and some fuzz tones with a Les Paul. sitting on the amp top board next to the bread board is the original circuit I changed to enter the contest. I will get a copy of it to you chuck for reference. Here is some swamp tones with the Tele. I...

    I just built this on the breadboard using my IR leds for clipping being the only real difference... Oh man, hard to put the guitar down after ya start digging in... Gonna do a demo vid tomorrow. I am having a great time with this. Thank you to all of you.

    That is understandable. The fact that you have jack in and out points is cool. Do you have a link to your I/O boards ? Yeah I do not like ribbon cable much. I use JST XH connectors and silicone insulated wires. It looks awesome! Now I can't wait to breadboard it any longer!

    This Week on the Breadboard: Gator's OD - cb mod

    Oh damn. You guys are my heroes! That is awesome! Now if I was doing it, designing a board to utilize my connectorized set up with the pedalpcb I/O power boards, I would move the jack in, Gnd, 9V, and Jack out points all up in one spot. Either at the top above the toggle or off to one side just...

    Music6000 - Oh man does that already exist!!! I Love it!!! All good Chuck. I really like you that you dig the idea and sound of the circuit. I have since changed the purpose of the switch and just use a full potentiometer for swamp. Now with the switch I am trying to come up with a mid control...

    This Week on the Breadboard: Gator's OD - cb mod

    I didn't know you posted this...I am late to the party once again. I like your naming better than mine! I have yet to try the CB mod with the 386 in the circuit. Not sure I can wait now. Should be soon. I am building a batch of Nexus of Plexus(golden falk...aka plexibreed) right now. Gotta feed...
