The bass player of the other band of the drummer of one of my bands asked, if I could build something like the BAT Raw Heart, which is a double pedal with order switch, incorporating their Witch Burner and Quantum Mystic. After some looking around, I saw that the chaps at Fuzzdog offer both...

All this talk about the Klon, magic diodes, fairy dust and unicorn farts was quite amusing for me, but I never really cared about the sound his thing was said to deliver, to be honest. That changed whenever @Chuck D. Bones was giving it the real deal bass treatment, not just changing some caps...

Hey, that's a perfectly placed chakra toggle. ;)

I'd say TV, but I'm not sure. I just picked something from my g00gle search.

This was a smooth build for more 4046 PLL type of fun. There are quite a few cool sounds in this box, from frightening rumbling to annoying bleeps, I dig it. Also just boxed up a Super Fuzz. It's supposed to be the good old Univox version, surprisingly symmetric PCB from Moonn. I'm just a...

Nils at Moonn has been throwing quite a lot of stuff out here, lately. And after the last two big and complicated things I've built (DBA synth and Klein Bottle), it was nice to put some dirt boxes together. First up is the BDSM, Big Distortion Sound Machine, running a Ruiner and a Torn's...

Probably, most people wouldn't "need" this, as maybe most people wouldn't "need" more than one guitar neither. ;) It's a lot more fun than another Tube Screamer, that's for sure. I might do an update if my future use seems to justify it.

I jumped on this (hype?) train, only after finding out that @cwsquared would offer these PCBs with all the smd chips pre-installed (hUUUge thanks again)! It still was an intimidating project for me, I left it in a drawer for a while before taking a deep breath and starting on populating the...

I bought the latest LP by A Place To Bury Strangers, as I like that band. Getting an LP sized circuit board with it, to build a DBA synth with 2 delay lines was pretty cool. Sourcing parts was fine, just those rotary switches required some searching, as they had to be the exact type (Alpha...

This was part of the VFE group buy, that I only got into because the amazing @cwsquared offered the smd pre-soldering. Thanks again, for all the work you put into that!!!!!! With the smd chip already soldered, this build still took me out of my comfort zone, because of the whole soft switching...

Yep, sometimes PCBs like to to be on the road for a while. Or just take the scenic route, like my last order I'm still waiting for: it went from New York to South Africa, enjoyed Johannesburg for over 2 weeks, then went on to Casablanca, Morocco for a few days before heading to Brazzaville...

Well, I got it back home now and just hooked it up again and ... it is a cool fuzz, but the TONE control is surely not you're "usual dark to bright" kinda thing like on a Muff. I would rather call it something like "Thight", as it does seem to tighten up the lows ... on a bass. But yeah, you...

Ha, I'm just about to leave for the practice room, where the pedal is ..... glad you got it sorted!

Hi Chris, I'm not too sure going by memory, but I'll check, no problem, and get back to you.

Thanks, but ... it's fine as is, for me :)

Yes, tons of fun! I don't use templates or the tayda drill service ... All I have is the graphic file, 87mm x 114mm, with the drilling points lined up for your measuring pleasure.

MST stands for Minotaur Sonic Terrors. The Swamp Lord is their take on a Muff, housed in a comically large enclosure. The bass player of the band we share the Doom Room with has on of them, it sounded pretty cool, so I looked for a PCB .... and found a vero layout. It's basically a Muff with...

This is supposed to be a clone of the LAL Super Oscillo 88. LAL says about it: "A fuzz distortion pedal with it's own internal oscillation system. The main feature of this pedal is the huge variety of oscillations that can be chosen by using any combination of these six switches. The 88 can...

EPIC BADASSERY!!!
