    Can of Worms

    Cool little one here. It almost gets close to Alice in Chains tones. Either way, it's a good sounding distortion. For me it sounded bad with single coils but much better with humbucklers. I did socket R15 since there was a thread that said volume was an issue. I tried the 180k in there first...

    PPCB 3 Channel Splitter and 3 Channel Mixer Question

    Is the PPCB 3 Channel Splitter and the PPCB 3 Channel Mixer essentially doing the same thing as what the JHS Buffered Splitter and Summing Amp are doing in this video? I'd much rather build something like this than buy it from them. Sorry if this was addressed before but I couldn't see it in a...

    DEMO EffectsLayouts.com Transmogrifying Repeater Delay

    Great stuff. It was cool to see Effects Layouts give you a shout out and praise on Instagram too.

    Is the PPCB wiki page down or is it just me?

    Proposition Squealing

    That was it. Bad TL072's. Swapped out and it rules. Thanks @Cybercow

    Schematics for pedals using 2N5457?

    Just came to say thanks for linking this! This is great and didn't know it existed. Love it.

    Proposition Squealing

    Good call. I did get them from Amazon so they are likely bunk. That is pretty easy so I'll try that first. I got some good ones from Mr. PPCB so I trust those ones.

    Proposition Squealing

    I get a bad squealing/whistling when I turn the gain up at all on the Proposition Distortion. Gain knob all the CCW it does not squeal. At first I thought it could be the charge pump but it makes the noise without it in. Could it be bad biasing with Q1? I populated RB1 and RB2 and R13 exactly...

    FERAL's imPERFect LAYOUTS

    Right on. Apologies if we took the thread off the rails. I don't want to take away from the excellent layouts you are putting out there.

    FERAL's imPERFect LAYOUTS

    This is cool stuff. Thanks for posting this @Feral Feline. I've been looking to try perfboard after doing a handful of stripboard. Probably not the best place to ask this but can you recommend some quality perfboard to buy?

    Mercurial Boost (Catalinbread Vario Boost)

    Nice build! Is that a black SPST footswitch?

    Mesmerizer

    Very interesting one here. It's a harmonic tremolo but it really has a Vibe feel to it. Gets a "chewy" pulsing to it. It sounds great. The depth knob is the key. It can really shape the tone. Component sourcing was a but tricky but nothing crazy. Got the XR2206 on Amazon and the 2N5485's from...

    Dirt Monger HMT-2

    Thanks. Check out the demos on the site. Mine sounds almost identical. HMT-2 Page They do a much better job at demos than I will.

    Mesmerizer Transistors

    Thanks for that chart and info. I figured I had to dig into it more. On paper I think I should I will go with the suggested transistors. Luckily Aion Fx has them in stock

    Dirt Monger HMT-2

    Boss HM-2 + Boss MT-2 = Dirt Monger Instruments HMT-2 I am a big fan of the chainsaws so I had to build this one. The heart of the HM-2 with the EQ of the Metal Zone. I think it sounds pretty damn good. Very happy with how it sound and looks. No complaints here. DMI makes some cool stuff.

    Fuzzy Fox Build

    Didn't need the build doc as all the values were all silk screened on the PCB.

    Mesmerizer Transistors

    I'm building the Mesmerizer PCB but I ordered 2N5458's instead of 2n5485's. They are both switching JFETs. Are the 2N5458's suitable for this circuit? Or is it picky with those transistors? From the schematic it looks like they are not biasing so it might be ok? I have the 2N5457 for Q1 and Q2...
