"it's been a fun ride" ? Wait... In your build reports i can see all sorts of flangers, except the one true ultimate flanger : A/DA flanger. Can you seriously give up without building a single Lectric-Fx Flintlock circuit ? I'm not even mentioning the most singular Lovetone ? Flanger clone...

Hello, I am calibrating the byzantium and i m not sure how to set the Clock. The other 2 trimmers are easy to figure out, but Clock calibration is a bit more tricky for me. Madbean has a similar project, so i checked the instructions to calibrate my build...

I would use an audio probe and check if the signal is reaching the LED/LDRs section, and if it gets out with modulation from there. https://diy-fever.com/misc/audio-probe/ Follow the schematic and hopefully the audioprobe will help you find where is the issue. At least it should help narrow it...

I wonder if the Bathtub reverb can do the "drip effect" often used in surf rock ? Here is an example : I' m asking because i couldn't find any demo ?

I noticed that when i built it, a few years ago. I managed to dial a good and noticeable chorus modulation after spending some time on the calibration. I remember i used the vibrato switch to compare the modulated signal with the clean signal. I can't remember if i used Gain 1 and Gain 2...

made with an RC-3. Here the TS-50B is compared with 2 other amazing bass circuits, so we can feel the difference between TS-50B and a famous bass OD (original darkglass BK3, both switches engaged, blend and drive at noon, highs at 2' ) and a bass OD with real tubes (Sushi Box 's Bass Dude). The...

Wait... i just realized this troubleshooting thread is about the TS-50 guitar version... I built the Bass version and according to the build doc, they are different although they look the same. So i can't say if the guitar version is good or "underwhelming".... The bass version is great, though.

I built this effect, it's not supposed to be noisy, although there is some usual gain background noise when Gain is set on high values, especialy if the Boost switch is engaged. I think i still see some suspicious joints. Here are a few examples : RED = the solder isn't filling the soldering...

Hello, My last build is an Hoof Reaper clone made with a musikding kit. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/WarScythe.pdf Everything sounds fine as far as i can tell, all controls are working. I only noticed one obvious issue : If i just use the Tonebender and if i activate the octave, there...

I have a noticeable volume loss when the tonebender is activated and i switch the octave on. It's not the case with the muff, the volume is the same if i activate the octave. I looked online and in the demo it's not behaving like that. I built the musikding kit, Instead of 2N1308 for Q4 & Q5...

thanks for your reply ! I saw a thread about a Cleft mod. I guess it's different from the Ungula Cloven version, supposed to be interesting on bass too ? https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/ungula-cleft-modification.406/ What is this Cleft mode ?

Hello ! My last build is PPCB War Scythe. It sounds promising but i'm not sure i understand what is happening in there. There are 3 circuits: Ungula, Squidward and Scythe. I know nothing about the original circuits, except they're from EQD, there's a muff variant (hybrid ?) a tonebender...

Hello, I just built the War Scythe kit from musikding. Everything works fine, as far as i can tell. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/WarScythe.pdf There are two MPSA13 transistors in the kit, and i m not sure why. I guess it's supposed to be used as an alternative for some other transistors...

hello, i modded my CH-1, vibrato, depth, etc. I found the mods on facebook's boss modding group. I'm happy with the results. Only one issue i couldnt fix, it was already there in the stock version : some white noises when the EQ is on high values. It's a great chorus, i still use MXR stereo...

Sorry, i dont know enough about leds to give a clear answer here. All i know is that i first used something too bright on the BBD sub-board. The modulation was weak, Manual control didn't work properly. A piece of paper between the led and the photo-resistor helped a lot. Finally, I just wrote...

Nice build ! I always like to use it before any high gain effect, with the clean/wet ratio set very low (around 9 o'clock) so the modulation is barely noticeable. It subtly "opens up" the chords so to speak. In my top 3 best modulation effects i ever built. I wouldn't use it on single notes...

https://www.diystompboxes.com/DIYFiles/up/Build_Your_Own_DS-1_Distortion.pdf You will find the part designations p.4 I highly recommend the Mondo MIJ mod p.16, that's really an interesting mod. It's a bit more challenging than jumping 2 soldering points to make it sound fuzzy, but it's really...

I bought mine in 2020, never had any issues with it. I use it almost every days and unplugg it from the wall outlet once i am done playing music. Sometimes it stays plugged and powered on all day. I always use every outputs for my endless pedal train, although i don't switch everything on at...

I'm using the ENGL power tap, couldn't be happier. Only downside is that there is only one 500mA output, and i have a couple of circuits with real tubes now, so one more 500mA would have been nice, but it's a great power tap at a reasonable price with lots of outputs, including 9V, 18V and 12V...

On my build, with all controls at noon, unity gain is around 11 o'clock, meaning somewhere in the first half of the volume pot rotation, near the middle. With all controls at max settings, unity volume is around 9 o'clock, slightly above the first quarter of the volume pot's rotation. I did...
