Being derived from a Skreddy circuit I had to build it and I’m glad I did! This thing rocks! I think I like it more than the Diamond Peak. To me it’s more amp like. Doesn’t have as much gain but that could be down to transistor choice and biasing of the Diamond Peak. Great touch response and...

So I finished this up and I’m getting below unity gain with all knobs maxed. Seems like the only know that does anything is the Drive, top left knob, while the others don’t seem to do anything. At first I accidentally had a 100n C5 (1uf) location. Thinking that was the solution I replaced it but...

Finished this one up tonight. Pretty straight forward build and good sounding od. Very creamy with gobs of sustain. I figured it may have more gain though. I used the highest hfe (100) NPN Germanium I had which was an ASY29. Also has low leakage. For diodes just some old 1N34A the build report...

I got this buttoned up finally and think I have it biased right. Have it right at 4.6 for both trimmers. The short time I did spend with it it didn’t come alive until about 2 on the gain dial. However depending on how I use it I may be cranking the master more and using it as a post boost rather...

Anyone know if a PCB exists for this? Amans version sounds killer.

Finally finished up my build on the hybrid fuzz driver using the fuzz aldrin board and chucks part replacement list. Actually a pretty easy build but I did encounter some small issues that I had dealt with before so it took me a little longer than expected. Pedal rock though and is quiet for a...

Just saw this on YouTube. This guys gotta be my favorite amp demo guy. His demo Bad Cat Mod Shop Black Cat 50 was sick! Best of luck to @vigilante398 That does sound damn good and great to see some quality guitar demos.

This was an easy build. However this was my second attempt because foolishly mounted the pots wrong on my first attempt. Live and learn! I’ve only briefly played it to test it out but it’s a good sounding Marshall style pedal with a low parts count so I recommend it for new builders. It does...

Finally getting around to posting this one as well. Another in my series of build to get back in the swings of things. Don’t worry, I did replace the short jacks leads after taking pics lol. I was just excited to try the pedal first. Great boost. Reminds me of a SHO boost which supposedly...

Another one of my easy builds! Highly recommended for Tubescreamer fans but I’m surprised this pedal received so much hype back in the day and continues to sale. It sounds decent just not decent enough to make it on my board.

I wasn’t gonna post this just because it’s so ugly but I have 2 projects waiting on parts so why not. Very easy build and recommended for new builders wanting to build a distortion/overdrive. I do find this pedal to be pretty dark even through my Vox inspired amp and the distortion range is...

So I building a Hybrid Fuzz Driver using the components changes by Chuck listed below but once I got to the caps I realized that my board is different than the one listed in the BOM. I was entering the substituted values on a print out of the board once I noticed it. Notice the 2 caps circled at...

I built the Eternal Burst and Awful Waffle before this but they’re in bare enclosures, I don’t like that, but I didn’t really care for either pedal anyways. I give both 5 stars for build complexity. They were a breeze and great for beginners. I just wasn’t big on either. The Awful Waffle is ok...

My first attempt at this pedal was my first built in about 8 years and I soldered the pot onto the wrong side of the board. I burned the trace trying to de-solder it. However the second build went flawlessly. Very easy build and a great sounding one knob fuzz! I’m a fan of Electra variants and...

I built this a couple months ago and realized I’ve never done a build report on any builds so I figured I’d contribute SOMETHING to the community. This will be aimed mainly towards the new guys looking for good but easy builds. With probably 10 builds I consider myself new guy. I don’t know...

Id pay for a faceplate for each build. Maybe PPCB and AmplifyFun could go in together on this.

Most recent build. One that I’m actually not embarrassed to post lol. Isn’t it great when they work right away! Sounds great as well. Waiting on actual enclosure. Was out of mono jacks so had to use stereo. Will update once enclosure and faceplate comes in.

Just curious if any of you guys know of an app to design your pedal graphics on your phone? I don’t have a computer. Really haven’t needed one until now I think. What I’m looking for is an app to design the graphics and have faceplates made at amplifyfun. I’m not looking for anything...

I’m trying to get lucky and order everything from one place will this 1N5239B work as a substitute? It’s rated for 9.1v with 500mw dissapation. Any help would be appreciated. https://stompboxparts.com/semiconductors/1n5239b-zener-diode-9-1v/

I forget the pcb names. Just curious if anyone’s built and or tried both and which one you liked best. Also how well they compared to the Xotic SL Drive. I know they’re completely different circuits but which sounds more authentic and would having either AND the SL Drive be redundant? I’m...
