FWIW the build quality on my Noble preamp is really great, and Jack was super nice via email. I did wait a long time for it, but honestly I think it was worth it. Still looking forward to building my own 😃

Yep, exactly. You can also buy 0 ohm “resistors” if you don’t like the way a jumper wire looks 🙂:https://www.taydaelectronics.com/10-x-resistor-0-ohm-1-4w-5-carbon-film-pkg-of-10.html Or you can just use a reasonably small resistor value.

+1 to everything above. A couple of other suggestions that are currently helping me as I try to improve: - record yourself playing and listen back to it. It’s almost impossible to judge how you sound while you’re doing it. - no matter what level you are, play with other people

He has an Erdős-Bacon-Sabbath number of 9! https://erdosbaconsabbath.fandom.com/wiki/Brian_May

Very cool product and write up! Thanks for sharing.

Whoa that’s really neat. Thanks for the explanation!

Do you mind explaining how? Via Q2 clipping?

That mode selection is brilliant! I might try swapping D1 and D3 so that the “Fuzz” mode’s clipping is asymmetrical like the Golden Fleece.

Option 1: Copper Clad Fuzz Phase II Mach 1 Overdrive Keeley Eccos Spatialist Covers all the bases for me. The Keeley Eccos could be an BYOC Echo Royale if you really need DIY. Option 2: Morningstar MC8 Chase Bliss Condor Timbre Man Meris Polymoon Meris Mercury 7 The Condor + a Morningstar is...

The Afterlife and CCBL compression sections are both based around the NSL-32 optocoupler. When comparing the two, I noticed that they are pretty similar, with one glaring exception. Could someone help me understand what’s going on in these circled sections?

My favorite part is probably gifting pedals to friends. It’s probably just narcissism, but I like being “the person who knows how to make guitar effects.” Close second is getting to try out tons of circuits that I would never buy off the shelf. I also agree with the folks who find populating...

Thank you!

I typically don’t build pedals with the intent of selling them, but occasionally I get a request that I just can’t turn down, like this one from a friend’s 10yr old: I sent him some YouTube clips of a few options, and he decided on an HM-2. He wanted the Santa Cruz Skateboards screaming hand...

F*ck yeah! I would put one of these at the end of every board.

+1. The Creamery is the one that stayed on my bass board, but these all worked well for me.

Absolutely beautiful paint jobs, builds, and demo! This is really impressive.

If memory serves @Robert was working on an XLR out daughter board.

That’s awesome! Truly. It takes me about 4 hours to do a pedal, and when I sell one my margins are around $20-$30.

You’ve clearly been churning them out lately, so I almost hate to ask. But I’m also dying of curiosity. Did you ever find out what’s up with these? Bog standard Expandora with a boost in the front?
