    EQ order switch: foot or toggle?

    I'm building a pedal with a Box and All EQ and Two Sticks of Derm fuzz in the same case. I'm putting in an order switch, and I'm curious if you had that pedal, would you want a footswitch to switch it on the fly, or is that pointless and you'd just use a toggle switch? (Note: The Box and All...

    Dual pot with different values?

    Thanks! :-D

    Dual pot with different values?

    I have a project where I'd like to use a dual pot to control two different circuits, but one uses a A100K and the other uses a B1M. Can I, uh, take two apart and fit them together? Or is there another solution?

    Triple Pedal - Super Fuzz / Russian Muff / Rat with video

    The future is clearly three fuzz factories wired in series.

    So... you're taking orders when? 😜

    Maleficent Box and All?

    Could one replace the mid control in the Box and All with a Maleficent Mids? (or better yet the Airis Effects Target Mids.) The world needs an EQ version of the Fuzz Factory, no?

    Dual Arachnid

    Is that just an A/B switch, or does it have a Y setting to run one into the other or in parallel?

    Passive splitter issues

    Interesting. Would it help if I built a buffered blender, like the back end of this circuit? http://www.runoffgroove.com/splitter-blend.html

    J201 replacement for a signal splitter?

    While I wait, I'm looking at this j112 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fairchild-Semiconductor-J112-Transistor-Channel/dp/B01NCWTT9E/ Is this a match for the j201 and/or the 2n5458(7)?

    Jack Orman's Pickup Simulator / Anti-Buffer...

    Anyone ever build/use one of these circuits? http://www.muzique.com/lab/pickups.htm I use a lot of different fuzzes in different configurations with a pedal switcher/looper (which has a built-in buffer) and I've been thinking about building a few of these to go in front of fuzzes. I wonder if...

    Passive splitter issues

    I feel like I should know this, but... Playing with parallel distortion units (and I don't have a buffered splitter), so I ran the guitar pedal a mono Y-cord into an Arkaim Fuzz and a Behringer HM-2 clone. I was expecting tone-suck and/or uneven volume problems, but I was surprised to find that...

    Lighting/LED Magnifying lamp

    I got a USB microscope and I LOVE IT. Great for looking for bad solder points.

    Anyone ever use pedals with Eurorack modular synths?

    The simplest way is to build some DIY vactrols (see below.) You'd have to add an attenuator and/or tweak them to fit the range of whatever potentiometer you replace/enhance, but you could replace/enhance pretty much any control on any pedal.

    Anyone ever use pedals with Eurorack modular synths?

    There it is! Yeah, I love doepfer stuff, cheap(ish) and good quality.

    Anyone ever use pedals with Eurorack modular synths?

    Oh hell yeah, ditto on the addictive. I forget which module I use as a guitar input, but it has a built-in envelope follower, which can be useful. I've done some pretty wild shows with a guitar or bass (and once a homemade instrument) going into modular. Befaco has a bunch of cool kits that are...

    Tone stacks before versus after distortion/overdrive/fuzz circuits

    Hey, wondering if any of the experts could articulate common things to expect when shaping tone before the dirt part of a circuit. I get that a lot of circuits cut bass before the dirt circuit, but are there common effects one gets when you don't do that? (as opposed to rolling off bass after...

    Combo Fuzz Pedal

    As projects go, I think this one would be fairly simple. You can bridge the power easily, and I think most fuzzes could run on bridged power without problems. PedPCB sells a power break out here: https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/dcbreakout/ Unless you want to be able to change the order of...
