Hey... I only said they "look" professional. I made no assessments on your ability to use an amp modeler... ;)

Ah, you are a better person than me. Soldering wire on LEDs is one of my least favorite things. I've see the pre wired ones but they always have a resistor already. I worry those won't be flexible enough to sneak into some places I might want to put an LED. It makes your builds look tidy and...

@MichaelW Do you use pre wired LEDs? If so do they come with a CLR?

I agree. Slammed in front of a pushed amp it does a thing. Definitely not great on "pedal platform" amp.

I built those specs a while ago and ended up reverting it to stock. Maybe I did something wrong but it sounded really anemic to me. The stock version is what it is. It has it's place in pedal history, just not on my pedal board.

Do it! Build all the variants! I'm not sure what it is about Big Muffs that are so addictive. I find myself wanting to keep building more variants too. The color is great. I like it more than I thought I would. I just wish I could find mini versions of the knobs they used on the originals.

Is this the variant sometimes referred to as Creamy Dreamer?

Absolutely stunning!

Thanks! I'm willing to bet a lot of us are here because of the pandemic!

Thanks! I still have a bunch laying around that I'll get to at some point. There not as easy to work with as the boards like PPCB makes but they still sound great.

Back in the early 2000s I was getting into boutique builders like Zvex and Barber. I was also taking an interest in guys like Robert Keeley and Analogman and how they were modding pedals to make them sound better. Researching pedal modding on the internet of the mid aughts led me to a guy named...

I really enjoy Aion FX projects. Those projects are second to PPCB in builds I've made. They are always well researched with great documentation. I also like that they include practical substitutions. Especially with transistors. The daughter board thing is a drawback for me. I don't mind it in...

The first time I got into building pedals was back in 2004/5. I was buying boards from Tonepad and they are etched with the trace on one side of the board. I feel like on those boards it was much easier to get cold joints or accidentally bridge two pads. The boards like PPCB makes are much...

Just a flesh wound!

Ohhhhh… Exciting!!!

Who's got time for graphics and labels... I gotta build my 10th variation of a Klon clone!

I think it's mostly the red enclosures. I have a ton of the 125B red ones too and the coatings are terrible. But the last time I checked... the tone is in the fingers!

If it changes your mind, right now they are only $3 with the 20% off sale at SBE this weekend! I almost bought more but I still have about 12 I haven't used yet. With as many builds that I do I don't mind them. If I really like the circuit I'll rehouse it in something nicer or more likely build...

Here is one I wish that Pedal PCB would release. I love the Cream Pie Fuzz but the Peach Fuzz is a better and more usable fuzz pedal. It has lots of volume and good mid range content making it more live band friendly than other muff type fuzzes. Back in the early 00's I played in a band with...
