This is a report for a version of the Mad Professor Sweet Honey, based on my own PCB design. I had a Joyo version of this pedal before. This pedal was on my radar because it was widely beloved on Reddit, and the Joyo version was recommended as a good cheap beginner pedal when I first started...

@CheapSuitG I love Pearl Jam! Didn't know about the Plaid Preamp... will have to take a look.

The first thread just predated when I started building pedals. It was a great way to sift through all the PPCB boards and bulk out my shopping cart. Here's my top 5, in no particular order: 1. PPCB Dung Beetle (Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe/fuzz) - Gotta have at least one fuzz pedal on the list. I...

I haven't listened side-by-side, but Dylan159 noticed the same thing as Chuck: "Now, the diodes. I was a bit surprised to find that these aren't doing much at all. In hindsight, it makes sense because they're after all the attenuation from the tone stack, which is also an equalization curve, so...

This is a report for @szukalski's Blue Sheep from his Dylan159 layouts, based on Dylan159's Blue Pilot. Now it's the "Great Blues Driver." That's a lot of names for one pedal! This was in the very first batch of PCBs I had made by JLCPCB. I like the blues driver/blues breaker tone. It was a...

They're called Mourning Doves because their call sounds sad. They might be sad because they're one of the most widely hunted species...

You can track the shipping. In my experience it's always sent from Thailand and always takes 2-3 days. Usually Thailand to Japan to LA to me on the West Coast. Once it went the other way and through Germany. Similar path for Fedex and DHL. It's remarkably fast and cheap, even if you don't get...

This is a report for the PPCB Glory Hole, based on the JHS Morning Glory. I saw this recommended a bunch of times - I think primarily on Reddit - and figured I'd give it a shot. It's an easy build and one of my most-used pedals. Inspiration The inspiration here was pretty obvious. Since the...

Nice build! If you're worried about the jacks rotating and touching... lock washers and electrical tape?

I think Tayda has some formula that combines order price and then weight against some thresholds. I've seen shipping drop quite low even for enclosures if they're combined with lightweight expensive items. I've also seen the shipping estimate be low, another item get added, and then have it...

This is a report for the Dyl-Ei Fuzz Apprentice, a variation of the Shin-ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz. I was looking for a simple circuit to try laying out a PCB, which hadn't previously been laid out, and this seemed to fit the bill. I found Dylan159's page via the @szukalski pedals. It's an easy...

Ordered one of these during the Black Friday sale at Aion. Now I'm getting nervous...

It's done - just sent this for fabrication :). Thanks to both of you for taking a look!

I thought the other similar thread was great for learning about chorus options. Now I'm wondering what kinds of flangers people like. Perhaps I will ask for two categories: 1. Best-sounding overall 2. Best "bang for your buck" The second being the DIY pedal that gives you the most flange...

I think I need to create one of the hybrid SMD/through hole footprints... I'll give that a shot before getting this fabricated. @finebyfine thanks for taking a look as well. I did look at the Moonn schematic but also found parts of that to be confusing!

Wondering if I can get a sanity check on my Jawari layout. The Jawari is a sitar-like Escobedo circuit fragment (towards bottom of the page here). He seems to use somewhat different conventions than I'm used to - perhaps these were more common in 2000 or so?! The in/out labels and footswitch are...

I recall hearing at some point that Spaceman Effects chooses resistor values based on part on the color scheme - they have some kind of aesthetic in mind for the inside of the pedals.

Yeah, that's what I meant :).

At a glance it looks good though I'm just a beginner too. I'd suggest lining up the components below R102 and D3, since you're so close to symmetry, those stand out. Also add a text label with your name for the PCB - will make it easier to remember. You might want to nudge D100 slightly up and...

But I have 20 boards I wanna order now.
