Why is THIS the thing that makes me want to build this?

Thanks, I bought some matte black enclosures a long time ago and we all know how those things are. Thought I'd try something so I got this acrylic set and have been pretty happy with the results. I'm not painting the lids because I'm not sure how strong this paint is, I want the dual lock to...

I'm pretty sure the white strip is just for labeling but you should be good to solder in your leads in whatever direction you need.

I think about this more frequently than I should. I continue to pronounce the t in mortgage 20 years later.

Here we have a clone of the Last Gasp Art Laboratories Ripplet. I really enjoy the weirdness of LAL circuits in general but this one's my favorite so far. It's simply a tremolo whose speed is determined by the intensity of your playing. What's more interesting is that you can dig in and...

Early in my pedal building journey, when I was still buying the occasional kit, I bought a ppcb zonk kit from musikding. I had no transistor stash, no testing equipment other than a terrible radio shack brand multimeter. I was curious about the zonky and had just enough experience to know it was...

There's a bunch of fun stuff, mostly things that won't go on your pedal board permanently but I don't regret any of my orders from Moonn. Some of the standouts for me are the lo-fran (if you play bass) some of the Escobedo stuff like their ugly face and octomix, a couple good devi ever fuzzes...

TLDR: Probably? Unfortunately I don't really remember and I've long since given this pedal away (i do not remember to whom) so I can't easily open it up and check right now. I can say that I would've mentioned it if I couldn't get something to work as stated in the docs. I most likely wired it...

If I can do it, surely

I just built a defx sputter. You should check that out for sure.

Yeah, I just saw the measurements in the schematic and remembered the troubles some had with the desolate j201s. I also toasted a fet on my lowtide which ended up being my first public troubleshoot.

I guess I'm the fool for testing 🤡

I slapped my first desolate together with no testing devices and lucked out. Sending good vibes to your fets.

I'm pretty sure this was a freebie because I don't remember ordering it and I'm not a huge eqd guy. I did happen to grab a single AC176 when ordering some other things so I socketed just in case I received a dud but it sounded great right away. I didn't feel the need to investigate any further...

I didn't socket and audition so I can't comment on how close you have to get but the first 3 J201 I pulled out of my stash ended up being really really close to the specs on the schematic. I tested more but didn't find any that matched better. I used a DCA75.

There is actually a white line for indication. However, only one is visible in the pic. https://www.taydaelectronics.com/daka-ware-skirted-control-knob-19x13mm-shaft-6-4-mm.html

I was already a big fan of fairfield inspired circuits being a frequent user of the chopshop, lowtide, and desolate fuzz. I figured this wouldn't suck and I was quite correct. The desolate lacks a little low end, even though I greatly enjoy the sounds it makes with bass. This Nein fuzz doesn't...

Could've sworn someone else already posted an expresso report but I don't see one there after a brief search. So.... boom goes the dynamite.
