I built this effect, it's not supposed to be noisy, although there is some usual gain background noise when Gain is set on high values, especialy if the Boost switch is engaged. I think i still see some suspicious joints. Here are a few examples : RED = the solder isn't filling the soldering...

Hello, My last build is an Hoof Reaper clone made with a musikding kit. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/WarScythe.pdf Everything sounds fine as far as i can tell, all controls are working. I only noticed one obvious issue : If i just use the Tonebender and if i activate the octave, there...

I have a noticeable volume loss when the tonebender is activated and i switch the octave on. It's not the case with the muff, the volume is the same if i activate the octave. I looked online and in the demo it's not behaving like that. I built the musikding kit, Instead of 2N1308 for Q4 & Q5...

thanks for your reply ! I saw a thread about a Cleft mod. I guess it's different from the Ungula Cloven version, supposed to be interesting on bass too ? https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/ungula-cleft-modification.406/ What is this Cleft mode ?

Hello ! My last build is PPCB War Scythe. It sounds promising but i'm not sure i understand what is happening in there. There are 3 circuits: Ungula, Squidward and Scythe. I know nothing about the original circuits, except they're from EQD, there's a muff variant (hybrid ?) a tonebender...

Hello, I just built the War Scythe kit from musikding. Everything works fine, as far as i can tell. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/WarScythe.pdf There are two MPSA13 transistors in the kit, and i m not sure why. I guess it's supposed to be used as an alternative for some other transistors...

hello, i modded my CH-1, vibrato, depth, etc. I found the mods on facebook's boss modding group. I'm happy with the results. Only one issue i couldnt fix, it was already there in the stock version : some white noises when the EQ is on high values. It's a great chorus, i still use MXR stereo...

Sorry, i dont know enough about leds to give a clear answer here. All i know is that i first used something too bright on the BBD sub-board. The modulation was weak, Manual control didn't work properly. A piece of paper between the led and the photo-resistor helped a lot. Finally, I just wrote...

Nice build ! I always like to use it before any high gain effect, with the clean/wet ratio set very low (around 9 o'clock) so the modulation is barely noticeable. It subtly "opens up" the chords so to speak. In my top 3 best modulation effects i ever built. I wouldn't use it on single notes...

https://www.diystompboxes.com/DIYFiles/up/Build_Your_Own_DS-1_Distortion.pdf You will find the part designations p.4 I highly recommend the Mondo MIJ mod p.16, that's really an interesting mod. It's a bit more challenging than jumping 2 soldering points to make it sound fuzzy, but it's really...

I bought mine in 2020, never had any issues with it. I use it almost every days and unplugg it from the wall outlet once i am done playing music. Sometimes it stays plugged and powered on all day. I always use every outputs for my endless pedal train, although i don't switch everything on at...

I'm using the ENGL power tap, couldn't be happier. Only downside is that there is only one 500mA output, and i have a couple of circuits with real tubes now, so one more 500mA would have been nice, but it's a great power tap at a reasonable price with lots of outputs, including 9V, 18V and 12V...

On my build, with all controls at noon, unity gain is around 11 o'clock, meaning somewhere in the first half of the volume pot rotation, near the middle. With all controls at max settings, unity volume is around 9 o'clock, slightly above the first quarter of the volume pot's rotation. I did...

Thanks for your replies ! Interesting. I'm not sure i would be able to do that, though. I've never touched an amp's circuitry before, so i guess i'll leave it as it is, until the day i know a bit more about it. That's my one and only tube amp, so i guess i'd need some old cheap tube amp that i...

Hello, I need a new spare set of tubes for my Blues Junior 3 : 3x ECC82 and 2x EL84 The original tubes are getting fried one by one after 9 or 10 years of service. EL84 were GT Groove Tubes, the ECC82 are still fine so far, but i guess after 10 years they will also fry sometime soon. Looking...

Amazing build. This nautilus themed fabric is perfect. Thanks for the beautiful sound samples !

I agree. And it's all on @owlexifry (again) with his builder J and builder K : and (as usual) @Feral Feline : I did my best to keep us on the subject, but i'll admit i let both of them push me on the wrong path, very briefly. It won't happen again. Edit : In defense for our dear and...

Right, and that's why i think Robert didn't post a reply in this thread. From what i could understand, Robert probably didn't spend countless hours enjoying and exploring each and every single pcb he has made. He probably focuses on the pcb design, not on the effect and all its artistic...

I agree, and also if we mention in our top-5 list how much PPCB circuits we have built in total. An opinion from a fellow member who has built only 10 circuits so far, could be compared to the opinion from an other fellow member who built and really spent some time playing with hundreds of...

My guess is that these circuits are bought by dozens by diy builders looking to make a buck online, reselling PPCB effects to music gear consumers. I wouldn't say they are the most popular among the diy community or among experienced music players, but rather the easiest ones to sell online by...
