For whatever reason the V1’s (BB sized, boost foot switch) are way hyped up too. Maybe it’s just that it’s the discontinued version and people always seem to tend to think that a discontinued version of XYZ is better than a current production one but… they’re like $400 second hand nowadays and...

At work at the moment so can't try out BUT this kind of echoes my experience prior. In testing shortly after building it seemed to me like the treble control by itself doesn't do a lot for me; if I just have my guitar going into the comp and into the amp, treble knob doesn't do a ton. When I add...

Hi all - finished my General Tso's a few weeks back and I really quite like it for the most part but I'm finding the treble control seems extremely subtle, like to the point where I can't even tell for sure if it's doing anything at all or if I'm just tricking my ears into hearing something...

I know it's super obvious by just plugging in a cable but I still always find myself second-guessing with switched i/o jacks to the point that i usually end up just putting a jumper between the switched/unswitched lugs just in case :P

Looks like you might just have your output's tip and sleeve backwards, I believe the "right" out pad on the PCB goes to the tip and left to the sleeve. Try swapping the wires going to your output jack?

A DOD250 kit from BYOC was my first ever pedal build. I printed a photo of a mushroom cloud on cardstock and mod podge'd it to the top of the enclosure. Then I played it through a solid state Fender Rumble bass amp (which was serving as my guitar amp at the time) and thought it sounded godawful...

I have a few others on my board for different “flavors” but it’s not uncommon for me to find myself only using the Pro-10/Protein for multiple sets… it covers a whole lot of ground. Of course it’s a dual OD so maybe that’s cheating. If I had to pick one single sized drive to cover just about...

Can’t help much but I’m curious as to what you find. I built one and found it to be awfully harsh too. Even once biased just right it seemed extremely bright/thin and with a not particularly pleasant breakup. I ended up moving on from it but I’m interested to see if that’s just how it is or if...

Probably not the best way to do it but...I keep some spare screws on hand and just slam one in with an impact driver. That usually clears it right up... Throw that donor screw away and put in the proper one and you're set..

I mess around with woodworking a bit and it reminds me a little of a saying I hear from other woodworkers. Something along the lines of… it’s easy to become a millionaire as a woodworker. Just have to be a billionaire to start!

Kilt is "based on" an Expandora (though I have never specifically seen a comparison of the schematics and/or a trace of either version of the Kilt) As I also understand it the Expandora is itself from the Rat "family tree". All that to say that to get in that Rat, Expandora sort of ballpark...

Interstellar reference?!?

Another fairly straightforward build from yesterday’s spree. Again a special thanks to Ernie Ball and Chicago Music Exchange for the DIY pot insulator material. Obviously didn’t end up needing it on the volume control but oh well. It sounds really good! I pretty much just made sure to swap...

I got a little over-zealous with my glue gun, I know… Fun pedal! I used waterclear green LEDs and these LDRs from Amazon. Maybe I got lucky, but they worked really nice together. I did test the dark resistance of a bunch till I found two that were closest to spec and each other. The leds are...

Pretty quick build here. Got it all whipped up, bypass was fine, LED came on, once engaged - no sound. And here’s the value of visual inspection on display. It’s pretty obvious in the first pic (well, you know, besides not having Jacks…) I’ve done that far more times than I’d care to admit...

I've been curious to give this a try at some point, in particular on bass. I remember years ago Ovnilab listed it as one of his favorite affordable compressors and it's been on my radar ever since.

I don't have any photos on hand but I really like all of Tayda's sand texture enclosures. Good quality and quite durable from what I can tell. On the other hand while I quite like the color/look of the Glimmer Brown Sugar it is perhaps the most fragile enclosure finish I've ever encountered...

Not sure if this will get much traction any further but if anyone has any input on a fairly common bass dilemma... I've more or less settled on getting a P-bass but am going back and forth between trying to find a decent CV Squier or paying up a bit more for a Fender Player series... The...

2 small addendums. 1. I’m not totally sold on the knobs. I went on the smaller size since it’s 6 knobs and didn’t want any space issues but now I’m kinda feeling like they actually look a bit undersized. I’m wanting something kind of lowkey, a bit utilitarian or industrial vibe. Any ideas for...
