As always, love the design. It's so hard to make a recognizable bird with limited detail. I'm curious if you've considered adding one additional color to your pedals, for birds with a really distinctive splash of color? For this grosbeak I was thinking a sort of nail polish lacquer red - it...

By the way, if anyone wants the artwork feel free to reach out to me (even if only for positioning reference).

This is a report on the PPCB SuperHeterodyne Receiver, based on the EQD Data Corrupter. I saw this on a few lists of "weirdest effects" and built it a while back. It sat in an unfinished enclosure for a while before I eventually rehoused it. Inspiration I knew early on that I wanted a bird...

Blooze, thanks for sharing the documentation. I've made a gerber of the Artiflex available here.

Thanks for sharing the build doc! I've made a gerber available for the Sonofier here. It's a nice always-on kind of boost pedal.

I had to import mine manually (there was no carryover from KiCAD 8), but they worked fine after pointing to the files.

This is a report on my build of Dylan159's "Dudson Narrowcast", based on the Hudson Broadcast. I was curious about this pedal because it's supposed to sound like the Hudson Broadcast, but it has no boutique or unusual parts (no OC71, no transformer, no 330U capacitor). You can download the...

More complicated than I expected!

I build pedals. I never said I could play guitar! :) But maybe I can do even better. Here's the gerber files and documentation if you'd like to hear it live.

I read it. IMO it was not worth it given the $40 printing cost. If you have it it's worth reading and some of the iterative examples are good. There's some other good content but it's really out of date - the book is from ~2002 or something. It's really intended for home etching. IIRC he...

I used Getting to Blinky, which is recommended all over the place. It's free and about 3 hours to complete and covers a bunch of aspects of KiCAD, including laying out PCBs and schematics, creating footprints, and creating symbols. Pretty much taught me everything and forum members have been...

Related: are there any good tutorials on tracing? I've looked at the tracing journals from Aion and they're interesting but not really teaching me anything.

It arrived today! Sounds great. The only problem is the cluster of 1U film caps in the center is a little bit too tight. Just a little...

This is a report on my build of the AionFX Azure, based on the Boss CE-2. This was among the top chorus pedals I saw people talking about, so I was excited to build it. Inspiration The inspiration was straightforward: Aion called it the "Azure", the Boss pedal is blue so why not go with the...

I'm by no means an expert, but here's some changes I'd make: Orient all the electrolytic caps the same direction. Makes verification easier and looks tidier. In this case it's natural to put negative down since two are already oriented that way and the other two won't be worse. The lower left...

This thing is a beast...

This is a report on my build of the PPCB Greengage Overdrive, which is based on the EQD Plumes. It doesn't seem like people talk about this pedal much here, but it's a very popular "beginner pedal" recommended on Reddit. As a result, this was one of my very first builds, but it took me a while...

Side jacks?!

I heard about this one when I was researching the Katzenkoenig circuit, but couldn't find a schematic. It sounds like a great pedal!

This is a report on my build of a Catalinbread Katzenkoenig. I'd seen this recommended in a few places, but there's no PPCB board available so I figured I'd give the layout a shot myself. There is an AionFX version (the "Poseidon"). But I like laying out PCBs so here we are. This thing...
