Crazy as it sounds, I'd love to build an Expandora clone but only in a ROUND enclosure. That's such a signature look, that I'd like to recreate it, if possible. I know Hammond doesn't make one - just putting some feelers out there to see if anyone else might have a lead.

I have an Aion Heliodor incoming, and I've made note of some of @Chuck D. Bones mods from other posts. I saw this one: "If you want to reduce the muddiness caused by too much bass going into the distortion stages, then try reducing C33 instead. Do it in small steps because C33 has a lot of...

I voted Strymon BigSky (I'm on my 2nd one now), but would whole-heartedly recommend the Source Audio Ventris and/or Strymon BlueSky V2. The Ventris has probably the best spring reverb algo on the market (True Spring).

Another one (again, not yet verified) is the 'Hot' mode from the Ibanez TS7, switchable by a toggle. It consists of: Adding a cap in parallel (don't recall where in the circuit) to reduce the value of said cap (assuming it's a bass cut) Replacing a cap & resistor in series with another cap &...

I've got an etchable PCB layout for an SD-1 that I created using the 1981 MIJ version's service notes. I removed the switching section, and made it very compact: it's less than 2"W, and a little over 2"L. It's not validated yet, though. :)

I'm revisiting a Boss DC-2 build, and have a few questions for any others that may have built them. Do run yours at 9V? Any overload/distorting when using a humbucker guitar? If you are running at a higher voltage (12v or 15V), are you still using the LM78L06 voltage regulator (TO-92 case), or...

Is there any way to insert a 3-band EQ into the Marvel/Marble Drive 2(3)? I'd like more (global) tonal control - my Marvel 2 clone sounds great, but the controls (Normal Vol, Treble Vol, Presence) are really sensitive to changing the overall EQ, and it's tricky to find a good balance.

Even with the stock bass setting and 470pF (mids) cap, it has a good amount of gain; it's just that once it gets there (for me), it's too woofy/fuzzy. With the mods I listed above, it's a great Swiss-Army-knife of classic rock-n-roll/rock sounds. Does it do a better Marshall sound than my...

That had me interested, but was never quite sure about it. It's supposed to emulate Page's sound of 'Hiwatts through Marshall cabs'. But then they also had the WIIO pedal, which was supposed to do the Hiwatt thing. I've got a Bearfoot Model H in the works first.

I'll get some pics up soon, but this is a criminally underrated pedal. I etched a PCB using the layout from https://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2018/03/zvex-59-sound.html, which does not include the SHO boost. I did also make the following modifications: Replaced the 470K resistor under Q2 with...

"I'm alright! I'm going to EQ manually!"

"The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes."

If I stare at it long enough, I start to see the sailboat. Jokes aside, this will be a release-day purchase for me.

Thx guys I was just curious if 'chip rolling' would make any kind of a difference (or if anyone else has done it) with these Friedman circuits. I've heard distinct differences in Tubescreamers, thought I'd ask.

I got a better pedal platform amp recently, and that made all the difference in several guitarl pedals that I had shelved due to them sounding 'below mediocre' through my other amp. As such, I'm absolutely LOVING the PPCB Brown Betty and Complex ODs.. I tweaked the latter last for to replace a...

Yeah, but........look at PastFX and anyone else who makes a CE-1/'Chorus Ensemble'-inspired pedal. Might as well complain about Ceriatone (or Germino) amps looking like Marshalls, or a half a milllion Tweed clones out there, while we'lre at it. The look is part of the package, and folks want the...

Yeah, that's the most obvious and easiest option. Thought about that, but I know I'll want to tweak it more often than I want to open the case. That's totally on me and my itch to change it up. o_O

Long story short/explanation: It's going to be a dirt pedal in a large case, and I'd like to put the Boost and Presence pots on the back with the in/out & power jacks. I'm trying to keep these pots low-profile - don't want regular knobs on the back, just something small, slightly recessed...
