    C2CElectronics Black Eye

    Pretty nice. Not amazingly high gain, but on that spectrum. Tone controls are surprisingly versatile too. I don't have the exact values or parts on me, but I used a very low ESR filter cap, an inductor with a much higher current rating (as there's already something like 1.5A going through...

    C2CElectronics Black Eye

    Had a guy bugging me for weeks about building him a tube preamp/distortion pedal, and to my absolute shock he actually paid once I steered him towards this! Using one of the C2CE PCB's, and a pair of Shuguang 7025s (probably the best new, non-stupidly priced 12A*7 variants I've found). B+ is...

    PedalPCB Disarray

    It's not low gain, but nowhere near as high as I was expecting. Sounds pretty nice - not really my thing, but the recipient is super stoked

    PedalPCB Disarray

    Super simple build report here. Friends son recently found out they're headlining a local festival, and decided to make him something to celebrate. Nothing too fancy, and he likes flames so had to include a couple for good luck. Very straight forward build, ended up just using schottkys instead...

    KiCad Symbol and Footprint Repo

    Scientific Guitarist Riptide

    Dressed. Turned out nice

    Almost Black Enough Obsidius Build

    I did hit it with a clear that sort of ruined the contrast, but black on black is definitely a winner

    Beatle Juice Fuzz

    Not perfect, but for the first time messing with a Cricut it turned out pretty well!

    Scientific Guitarist Riptide

    If anybody finds this down the track I got it sorted - dropping R15 to 100k increases the bass rolloff at max treble by about 3dB, making the tone control much more emphasized. C22 also needs to be increased to about 100pf to get rid of some of the additional noise. All in all, actually a...

    Scientific Guitarist Riptide

    This was....a build. JFET switching didn't work (PCB/schematic error), got sent the wrong impedance tanks, couple of footprints weren't ideal, LED is annoyingly offset by about 2.5mm, but I've almost got the issues fixed and functioning. The tone control doesn't really do....much? I probably...

    Almost Black Enough Obsidius Build

    Pretty straightforward build - very happy I picked up I needed 1/8w resistors before I purchased. Very annoying the SOT-23 adapter boards weren't also black, but you win some and lose some. Built as a gift for a friend who gives up dozens of hours every year to help us running special needs events.

    Beatle Juice Fuzz

    Just finished. Honestly...not really my thing. Doesn't really give you anything that a million other fuzzes don't already do, and probably better (such as gain control). Not a particularly quiet pedal either. Tried a stack of different diodes, and 1N4007s sounded the best to me, although not...

    Turning PedalPCB Build Docs into Buy Lists

    Howdy, I've seen people post about this on FB/Reddit, so figure of all places here it will probably be useful too. While the build docs are pretty good, it is a bit frustrating not having values/quantities immediately available. I figured out an easy workflow to get them. Download the build...

    Anybody know the drill template for my latest PedalPCB delivery?

    I can only imagine the poor environmentally conscious grandma that was looking forward to.cleaning her teeth, and instead got a large PCB

    Anybody know the drill template for my latest PedalPCB delivery?

    (Yes I'm aware it's just a shipping error, but it is by far the weirdest shipping error I've been a recipient of)

    Paragon - Defective PCB ?

    Check you don't have a little whisker of solder between the switch lugs - I had HOURS troubleshooting a board that would bypass without power, but would only work when it wasn't bypassed with power. I had a whisker of solder between the unused LED leg and output leg. No power, board worked...

    Where is everyone fabbing PCBs?

    Usually the only thing I change is the solder mask colour - defaults work pretty well. Also check your quantities - it's usually the same price to get 10-15 of a single board than it is to get 5.

    Series Diodes: what gives?

    The thought came up (before the edit), but I have tried a blocking cap and no difference. I built the PCB anyway, so I guess we'll see what it sounds like haha

    Series Diodes: what gives?

    With a single diode, I see half the waveform squished by the forward voltage of the diode (using Schottkys), but it conducts in both directions

    Series Diodes: what gives?

    I have roughly 1.2v p-p from my pickups, and 0.5-3.3v from my signal generator.
