    King of Pwn

    And while I don't particularly like his solo music, Hiram Bullock's solo on "Stink's" version of Little Wing is absolutely killer and worth listening to.

    King of Pwn

    Back in the early 90's Sting cancelled a concert for no good reason in my area. All the local radio stations started calling him "Stink" because of it. The name has stuck. My wife and I know who we're talking about when we say "Stink" or refer to "Stink". It's pretty funny actually....... :ROFLMAO:

    Old Fashioned (Skreddy/Animals Major Overdrive)

    Hey Matt, I used 2n3904's just because. I did not think to dig deeper into the NPN spec's. But now I'm thinking about building a second one with sockets and try some lower gain NPN's. It made a pretty big difference on the Diamond Peak, I'm guessing it's going to make a difference on the Major...

    Ultisol Distortion (Dawner Prince Red Rox)

    And this..... .....I often have to look up my own build reports to see what something is hahahaha

    Ultisol Distortion (Dawner Prince Red Rox)

    I use both the poly caps and box film caps. Some of the poly caps I use are Panasonic ECB's. Which are my favorite but disco'd. But I find them here and there for a good price. (Electronic Goldmine). The others are either KYET's or JCONs.

    Sheepy Love Gape Drive (BMF Effects Great Wide Open)

    Following close on the heels of my Distortion + build. The Sheepy Love Gape Drive is essentially a one knob Distortion + It's based on the BMF Effects "Great Wide Open". From a quick perusal via Google, I see that they've built this as both a one knob and a 2 knob versions. Comparing it side...

    KaboFX Sexy Bacon (MXR Distortion +)

    Seems I'm always following in the footsteps of @Guardians of the analog with his constant FOMO'ing me with his most recent escapades. I built the Distortion + many years ago when I was just starting out. That first one I built to DOD250 spec's but I added the clipping option of using GE diodes...

    Ultisol Distortion (Dawner Prince Red Rox)

    This is an older board in the PPCB catalog. I can't believe I missed it in my quest to build every PPCB OD/Distortion hahahaha. This was a recent purchase in my last batch from @Robert I have never heard of Dawner Prince, but they're a pedal maker based in Croatia. It's a super high gain...

    What's on the workbench?

    Ooooo I still have a bunch of NOS Telefunken BC239C's......Want me to verify it for you? :p

    Sheepy Love Frizzler Distortion (Emma ReezaFratzZitz)

    This circuit came from a TWOBB thread from the time frame when I was on my hiatus. So I missed it originally. I wasn't completely sold on the idea of a CMOS based distortion/overdrive as I'm generally not a fan of them. In my mind they all sound like Red Llama's. :p But Dave @szukalski kept...

    Electrovibe "Meridian V"

    The Aion version absolutely requires a BB2, especially if you're planning to use the Lightbox that's available for it. Awesome looking build dude!

    @cooder what are those two amps? Preamps? on top of the cabinet?

    Breakstreet Overdrive (Sobbat Drive Breaker DB-1)

    Hey @dc1508 , welcome to the zoo! :p No problem with the necro bump. But unfortunately I no longer have this pedal. As I recall it though, it was a pretty high gain with a wide gain range. I'm sure there are existing circuits that have the same general sound but this pedal has that "Japanese"...

    Greer Mizuki Blue (PPCB Blue Yonder Overdrive)

    No, it won't affect the noise. Grounding both negative jack lugs is redundant so I've just stopped doing it,

    Greer Mizuki Blue (PPCB Blue Yonder Overdrive)

    This is one I was not planning to build. I'm generally not a big fan of JFET based overdrives but @bluedmc777 twisted my arm so hard that it popped out of the shoulder socket. Once I jacked it back in place by slamming myself against the wall, I ordered the board....... :ROFLMAO: So despite my...

    Thumbucker Compressor (ValveWizard Engineers Thumb)

    I wish....as @Guardians of the analog said, it's a Tayda powder coated box. They're an extraordinary value at $6 ea. But shipping has gotten pretty bad with the tariffs. That's why most of my builds lately are in raw enclosures.

    Splendiferous (Aka Mad Professor Royal Blue Overdrive)

    It's not very close to a Timmy. Its gainy-er and the clipping sounds more like a Dumble-esque overdrive than anything else. Keeping in mind that Juhl's always has his own thing going on. One of the reasons I love his circuits.
