This is a report on my build on the Aion Redshift Deluxe, which is based on the Blackout Whetstone Phaser, which in turn is based on the EHX Small Stone. I wanted to build some of the more advanced Aion boards and I liked my Circulator build, so I thought I'd try - and it was worth it. Right now...

Arguably the most chaotic and stress-inducing gutshot I've ever seen. Appropriate?

Followed by 9 months of a pay-it-forward box... :)

I'd be interested in participating.

I ordered some JLC boards via slow shipping and they arrived a few days back without any kind of tariff payment request.

Oil can delay.

I messaged Tayda support about matte white and black for a recent order, and here's what Hugo had to say about a week ago: "it is available in website now but please note that this color (matte black) can take 3 weeks+" I wanted the matte paint and the timing wasn't urgent for me so I placed an...

For some reason the stacked board layouts often feel easier than single board layouts to me. Only thing I don't like is the tight quarters for the foot switches.

Very cool! I'm waiting on a Northern Shrike tayda print for the War Scythe :). Shrikes are definitely the most metal birds around.

This is a report on my build on the Escobedo "Jawari Fuzz" circuit. I laid this out myself. I guess I'm a sucker for novelty pedals that make a guitar sound like other instruments (Chalumeau, Trumpeter, etc) and I was interested in giving this one a shot. I've made the gerber files for the PCB...

Mergansers don't really have any notable vocalizations, at least that I'm familiar with. They seem to be quiet, private birds that do their own thing in small groups. But then, by comparison loons have some of the most distinctive vocalizations out there! Since I can't give a good merganser...

I'm about ready to call it this layout "done" for now and send it off for fabrication. I think this was the hardest layout I've done. Cees put this in a 1590XX and I wanted to cram it in a 1590BB2. And he had it laid out horizontally, which I wouldn't mind for the 1590XX but I don't like...

This is a report on my build on the PPCB Hydra Delay, which I think is a PPCB original circuit. I'd seen this recommended on the forums as a really unique pedal so figured I'd see what the fuss was about. Inspiration The pedal is based on Common Mergansers, which are indeed common here in the...

It took longer than I'd have liked, but I have the PCB mostly laid out. However, it looks like Cees laid out all the bypass footswitch wiring and jack wiring on the PCB itself, which I'd prefer to avoid (PPCB style). I've got a basic question. Right now I do have the footswitch laid out as a...

I'm in the process of laying out my first 1590BB (or more likely 1590BB2) PCB layout - in portrait orientation - and I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a maximum feasible board size for such a build. I could try to do some measurements of course but I'm wondering if there's "suggested"...

I think de minimis is still gone, and the 20% fentanyl tariff is still in effect. But 30% is palatable vs 145%.

China tariffs are now apparently down to 30% for 90 days. Maybe it's time to roll the dice on your next order, who knows how long this actually lasts for or what the tariffs will be when your order arrives...

This is a report on my build of the Harrier Distortion, based on the venerable Proco RAT. I was been interested in doing my own layouts of "classic" pedals, and of course the RAT fits the bill. Inspiration I knew I wanted some kind of "rat"-themed pedal, and I liked the way the Shika Fuzz...

So, is it correct to read that the smallest order from jlc (5 PCBs for $4) could potentially have a $125 tariff (5*$25) plus whatever the tariff rate happens to be today (%154?). So maybe those $4 PCBs will now cost $135 (plus shipping)? (I can't find an answer if it's the higher or lower of...

I got the circuit duplicated in KiCAD and paused midway through the layout (got distracted), but it's on my list to get it laid out soon. I've been working my way through all the skidmark pedals with public documentation. Once it's laid out and validated I'll share the Gerber with a Creative...
