    DIY or cheap onboard buffer opinions?

    Yeah 100% not interested one of those, just always curious about how everything works. Noticed they "gooped" the hell out of their gear

    DIY or cheap onboard buffer opinions?

    https://www.premierguitar.com/news/introducing-black-ice-boost An article just came out about a passive boost and overdrive/distortion. Can someone explain to me how you can have a passive boost/overdrive?

    Violet Ram's Head advice

    Build the "Stomp '75". It's fricken awesome and definitely my favorite variation of the Muff circuit.

    Charge Pump Noise - Pedal Order Dependent

    "The on-board oscillator operates at a nominal frequency of 10kHz. Frequency is increased to 45kHz when pin 1 is connected to V+. Operation below 10kHz (for lower supply current applications) is possible by connecting an external capacitor from OSC to ground (with pin 1 open)." Quote taken...

    Lycan Overdrive PCB - Arriving Soon!

    Awesome news! I've been on the "Waiting List" for a year, can't wait!

    Skeptical buffer, no electrolytics?

    I'm glad I was able to build the SB through PPCB. I've used similar circuits from Aion/GPCB, with carrying degrees of success. The SB works great in my signal chain because there is little to no noise, compared to other circuits I've used in the same vein. The Euna is not at all a 100% Eunique...

    Aion Meridian (Bass version)

    Love the graphics, that turned out great! I built this for guitar and I absolutely love it. Being able to select between even/odd harmonics for my guitar solos makes this pedal a ton of fun to use. Permanent fixture on my board for sure! I might have to build another for bass....

    Dandrive pedal prices

    Direct quote from Isle of Tone...... "Same as the PREMIUM MINI but with the big handmade board, time consuming cloth wiring and a different screen print design." @Big Monk so it's true, time=price. That damn "time consuming" wire!

    4 Tap DC Converter/Isolator Mockup Pedal - Arriving Soon!

    If you got into pedal building to save money, you picked the wrong hobby. Like the vast majority of us, I got into this because I like doing things myself, being able to put my own creative spin on something, and mod circuits to fit my tone/genre. When I place an order on PPCB, I also place an...

    Scientific Guitarist pcb fabrication at jlcpcb?

    Wow, I just breezed through that entire 2nd link and holy cowabunga that looks intense! Always had a minor curiosity about pickup winding and while it's all spelled out by SG, that looks very time consuming and difficult, at least for me.

    Help me decide which compressor to build…

    I've built quite a few. The General Tso has been on my board since the day I bought it a year ago. Not a ton of squished compression but like most have said, it does lovely things to my sound. For more squish, the Trash Compactor from MBP is awesome. Unfortunately that shop is still beyond...

    Jump Drive (LPD Sixty8) - Revisited

    As for rattle can hammertone style paint, I've been having a ton of success with Rust-Oleum. I didn't wait for the layers to dry either. Primed, let that dry, then added first light later of Rust-Oleum, about 1min later another light later. After the 2nd layer, I could watch the paint forming...

    Charge Pump Noise - Pedal Order Dependent

    I have the worst luck with the 1044's. I switched to the lt1054 and any and all whining ceased. Every 1044 I have came from either Mouser or SBP. Could just be my setup or some other issue. My rig has 26 pedals, so trying to sift through cables, cords, power, etc is a real challenge. Ain't...

    Two Tone Fuzz transistor layout?

    Yeah I think it's a tc1044, I'll check when I get home from work. I've been "splurging" for the Lt1054's, been getting too much noise from the tc1044's and the lt1054 have been dead silent for me.

    Two Tone Fuzz transistor layout?

    I've been building pedals and working on my guitars/amps for a long time. I have organized cases I bought from Harbor Freight filled with everything I need to build pedals. I have numerous kits of resistors/capacitors/etc. All of PPCB's boards have the component values silk screened on the...

    Two Tone Fuzz transistor layout?

    No build docs. I did a search of the forums and Robert posted something like this on another thread. You can literally use any PNP that fits Tone Bender specs.

    Two Tone Fuzz transistor layout?

    I used GT402's from SBP for all spots, think I used 70ish, 90ish, 110, and it sounds amazing.
