    Nutty Fuzz

    I enjoyed this one: https://deadairstudios.bigcartel.com/product/face-disaster-pcb it adds voltage starve to the chips. :)

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    100% agree. Drilling the holes was not fun.

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    A teaser pic, just got it put together and verified it's working like a proper Devi Ever Fuzz. A full build report with demo soon..

    Tone Vendor MK1 transistor options

    I just finished off three TB style pedals a Tone Vendor MkI, Tone Vendor MkII and a Soul Vendor. I used 416A in Q1 and Q2 positions and a 410B in Q3 for all three and they fired right up and sounded great with no issues. The hFEs were around 60 - 80 for the 416As and low 100s in the 410B when...

    Fermented CMOS juice: PPCB Obsidius Preamp (Darkglass Microtubes B3K)

    Well, thank God you've got that 10000V 680p cap in there so when your electric bass playing hits the pedal at least one part will be spared destruction;).

    Other* Pedals Honey Coma

    Me too! The design on the other side is very generic and doesn't have much personality. I liked this one cause it's different.

    Everything looks good. Order placed. We'll see how this turns out soon. :)

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    ...and of course, what would it be if it didn't have a faceplate to go with it? I'll print this out later today and make sure everything fits nicely and do any last minute tweaks before sending it off to jlpcb (still cheaper than osh park even with all the tariff nonsense).

    Other* Pedals Everythang

    I can't tell a difference between all the ones I've used.. at least in pedals. It's a pretty well-known chip so I wouldn't expect much variation between manufacturers -- they're probably all fabbed in the same plant in China. :)

    Other* Pedals Everythang

    I've been on a modulation pedal kick recently, so a phaser and vibrato in one pedal? Definitely a must build. Like the Honey Coma, it's a straight forward build with a lot of room. I got the faceplate, cause, well, why not? I like the mildly depressive images they're using on the flip side of...

    Other* Pedals Honey Coma

    I've seen one other post about this fuzz and it piqued my interest, so I ordered it. It's a really quick build and a joy to put together. The parts count is pretty low but I did run out of 1uF electrolytics so I used some tantalums instead. It is a cool sounding fuzz. It's even more fun when...

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    Thanks for the feedback, here's the newest revision. I moved the toggle switches up some, reoriented some resistors and capacitors and have gotten a better copper fill on both front and back.

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    Agreed, I was working on that after posting this last image. It's a never ending improvement cycle... Good idea, I'll take a look at moving those around and get some more ground plane fill. Nice! I'll definitely see about a bit more refinement in that area. Can you explain this a bit more...

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    And here is the near final revision. I'm going to make sure the spacing is 2.54mm between pads on top and bottom, create a sweet faceplate then send them off to JLPCB and see what we get. :) And again, if you see anything that looks suspicious, let me know so I can improve it.

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    Devi Ever was infamous for (re)using blocks in their fuzz designs. The Hyperion is very close to two other fuzzes and the switch (being on/off/on) will let you choose between Hyperion, Ruiner, or Bass Ruiner.

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    Thanks again! KiCAD is definitely a learning curve from EasyEDA where I used to make my PCBs. I'll probably clean up the routes again cause I'm not super happy with the ground pours and the way Q4 worked out. I'll throw a name on everything along with a revision.. I'm thinking "The Everlasting...

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    After @z2amiller's feedback, here's the next revision. I also added a pull-down resistor. Once the routing looks good, I'll work on cleaning up the text, etc. Thanks! Keep the critiques coming. :)

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    After seeing the DOD Grindhaus Fuzz show up in the wish list section and reading up on it and figured I'd make a version of it. I based it off of the Hype Fuzz from FuzzDog, tossed in the Big Muff tone stack (with the ability to bypass), and then the make up boost as seen in the DOD Grindhaus...

    DF-2 Super Feedbacker and Distortion

    Built this from a Guitar PCB Mania PCB since PedalPCB didn't have a board available. It was a straightforward build but it barely fits in a 1590BB. Overall it sounds like the real thing and is a lot of fun to play. I'm giving it a 4/5 cause making it fit in the case is a total pain. Went with a...

    LectricFX Altered State Phaser

    This was a rather fun build..I had to order a bunch of 1/8w resistors to do this one (I also built the Schu-tone DM-3 at the same time) and then fiddle with the offboard wiring and toggle switch to get the vibe mod into it. I've been listening to The White Stripes recently so their asthetic...
