This went together easily and worked immediately. I did have a short wait for a proper 2N5485 before starting the build and I used a JRC4558 instead of an LM. I used 1/4 watt metal film resistors and I went with the Lumberg jacks, and a Tayda 125b enclosure. The LED is 5mm orange diffused and...

Magnetron. I loved this build and completed it a few weeks ago. Very straightforward build and I completed it without issues. I love the extra LED that blinks at the rate and depth of your settings. I put it in a pink case like the classic Ibanez AD-80. Switchcraft jacks, anodized knobs and...

My 21st build. Thank you to @Hetari Gotoh for giving me ideas and a template. I socketed a few components and that seems to work very well. Hetari Gotoh also spoke of a whine and the need for isolated power with the daughterboard. I think that is correct and you can see an example in the video...

I wanted to build the Muffler but unfortunately I was missing that one component that nobody has (2N5485 Transistor FET). I did find some at Small Bear. This pedal feels like a tube screamer with a wider range of tone. It utilizes N4002s instead of N4148s. Perhaps not very different, I went with...

Terrific build. Lots of fun to make a pedal in a day and have it come out great! Previously I made the PedalPCB Sproing Reverb which only had one knob. That build came out great and I gave the pedal to a friend who plays. I built this one for a producer in Nashville. Unlike the PedalPCB Sroing...

I populated the PCB today. Got some help with one item: the 2sk209g orientation. FYI: I used an adaptor and did not consider the girth of a 220u cap. It was a tight fit and something to consider. I decided to go with the N4148 diodes that the build called for and I made no changes in the...

I’m currently working on an eight ball overdrive. It calls for this JFET when I look at the orientation in the directions and on the board, the chip doesn’t seem to be oriented correctly. Can anyone give me some guidance on this?

Edit Note: for other new builders seeing this: My TL074 is upside down in the images. I have a Mad Professor Snow White that I love so I wanted to give this quack pedal a try. I had to special order a ceramic cap so that is blank for now. Also was confused about the extra holes for the 500K...

I do love a good tube screamer. My knock on them has been that many sound too tinny. Trebley. So for this one I replaced C4 with a 100n instead of a 47n (thanks to the members here who suggested) I also took out the N4148s and used red leds - a Love My Switches prewired 3mm for clipping on the...

I run an MXR Timmy on my board so I knew I had to build this Tommy III. It exceeded my expectations. The pedal is number 14 because it is my fourteenth build. I will not show you my PCB scrapyard of broken dreams. I used a Love my Switches feather touch footswitch, dress nuts for the jacks...

I am working on a Tommy three. I’m wondering about this SPDT mini slide. Do I put it on the other side of this circuit board? And should it be accessible through the top of the pedal or do you have to open the pedal in order to engage the switch. I appreciate any help you could give me. I...

Hello. I am new at pedal building. I just completed a second Article 59, At first the pedal sounded like it was muffled and scratchy unless I hit it or shook it so I redid all wiring. Still the same so reheated solder joints. Finally it works. A new issue has emerged (or is it?) where the pedal...

I use my thermal ink printer to create these. The printer s for shipping labels but I purchased clear media. Wondering if anyone has thoughts about using these? Thanks.

I built a Little Green Screamer. It was an easy build and it sounds ok. It has N4148s in it. Any ideas on how I can mod this pedal to my desire? I bought five boards so I can try mods. My favorite ODs are Wampler Belle and MXR Timmy.

Build docs - I am unsure what this section I am pointing to means. Need some help for me because I am new. Green Scream Machine

I am a new at working with electronics and pedals. I was excited to take an idea and create a pedal that actually works. My experience consists of assembling Stewmac kits and from PedalPCB I made the article 59 and a reverb pedal. For this one I watched a Josh (JHS) video and copied much for...

I need some help with different chips. For the purposed of installing an MC33178 can I use either kind of chip? In the image the platform style is in the top open bin and the one below is an integrated chip MC33178p

Hi all, I am just getting started in the hobby and wanted to introduce myself. I have been assembling pedals from Stewmac kits and it has been fun. So I got a little workshop set up and purchased all of the components I needed to begin. My first PedalPCB board that I have used to make a pedal is...
