    Ideas needed for bass guitar filter/distortion pedal effect

    I've made some progress with this project lately. I'm going to try a Liantronic wah enclosure, I think they might be the same ones Smallbear had in stock previously. It looks like you can purchase individual units straight from the factory so I'm going to give it a go. Unfortunately, they won't...

    Using PedalPCB boards in place of Noisy Cricket preamp section

    I have a 1 SPOT CS12 so voltage is no issue, I can do 9, 12 or 18v easily enough. Bedroom levels are the expected application. I'm possibly the rare guitarist that doesn't enjoy loud! Thanks for the advice and the links.

    Using PedalPCB boards in place of Noisy Cricket preamp section

    You have talked me out of the noisy cricket idea. I think class d will ultimately get me where I want to go. Now I've just got to work out which unit and how to integrate it. 🤔

    Overdrive

    You cannot go wrong with a Lightspeed. I've got a build in the planning stage that is a Southern Belle (which is really just a Mach 1/Lightspeed with an additional hard clipping stage) into a straight Mach 1 with order switching between the two and selectable diodes on the Belle. Just need to...

    Things that make a pedal look more professional?

    Fear not, when it comes to the quantity of pedals you've built, more is more 😁

    Good preamps?

    I'm wanting to use a Steel String Clean Drive (PPCB Six String Stinger) clone as the basis of a clean amp. Not sure yet how it would go as a standalone straight into a power amp but I really dig the SRV tone it puts out. Pretty simple build.

    Things that make a pedal look more professional?

    Outside: faceplates, UV printing, complementary colour and knob selection, aiming for an integrated overall design. Inside: clean wiring, remove flux where possible, use heat shrink as appropriate, sensible location of internal hardware (otherwise known as Stick To The Provided Layout, Dummy)...

    Inexpensive power supply

    I have the CS12 for similar reasons stated above and have zero complaints. Money well spent IMHO.

    What is the grimiest grossest most over the top fuzz/distortion

    I only skim read the replies so apologies if someone already recommended ye good olde Swedish chainsaw. The Friendly Fire on here is a pretty gnarly old skool fuzz if that's more the vibe.

    Triple Pedal Build

    Great idea, you are a few steps ahead of me on the same project 👍 I like your name, I've called mine the Revelator. Your switching options sound cool, I'm using the intelligent relay bypass boards for mine.

    any updates on power amp projects using the TPA3118?

    Any more updates on this project @PedalPCB? I am keen to plan out an amp build using projects from here. I can be patient though. I know there's a lot on your plate!

    Behold, the parasite...my first pedal PCB build...

    Any opinions on Daier enclosures? I know some of them come with unthreaded screw holes and without assembly instructions, but I don't know if they're actually ok despite that.

    Using PedalPCB boards in place of Noisy Cricket preamp section

    Thanks for that. Would much change if I dropped the tone control out of the Cricket and only used the tone-shaping within the SSS?

    Using PedalPCB boards in place of Noisy Cricket preamp section

    One of the ideas I've been thinking about is building a small solid-state practice amp. I like the Noisy Cricket project at Beavis Audio Research. But it got me wondering about whether or not I could use a PPPCB board in place of the preamp section of the circuit. I really like how the Vertex...

    Behold, the parasite...my first pedal PCB build...

    Folks where can I get a decent expression pedal shell from? Smallbear are out of stock, as are other sites I've checked. I've read some bad stories about cheap Alibaba products and want to avoid those issues if possible. Banzai's enclosures look great but they're also pretty expensive. Any...

    Ideas needed for bass guitar filter/distortion pedal effect

    So I've whipped up a schematic of the Eric Archer Resonant Lowpass (I'm calling it EARL for now) in DipTrace because I will get a PCB fabricated for this if I'm building a prototype. I am not sure if I've interpreted the original schematic properly though. In particular, I'm unsure about IC1...

    Ideas needed for bass guitar filter/distortion pedal effect

    Mids control makes more sense to me, so I need to join lugs 1 & 2 rather than how I drew it. Thanks so much for your input on this!

    Ideas needed for bass guitar filter/distortion pedal effect

    I think you've talked me into the Companion Fuzz, I can see how it will work for what I want to do. The LPF circuit I posted is a 9v variant of the Korg MS20 resonant LPF that is nice and squelchy, so they should combine in the way I'm hoping. As far as the mid control 20K pot mod on the...
