    Pair: Cap'n Crunch Deluxe and Pipe Stretcher

    When somebody made a best of 2025 builds thread, I realized I had only built one pedal in 2025, and that was a fuzz face for a friend. About time I completed something new. I was able to wrap up two builds this week. It's been a while--my offboard wiring regressed being rusty, so it looks a...

    Your best and worst pedal hot takes? 🔥

    Really? I find their prices to be the same or cheaper than other US-based alternatives (especially their foot switches, which are under $3). I also like SBP, but I can shop the same cart from both stores and LMS come up cheaper.

    I think @Robert gave one of these away in a contest a few years ago, so maybe he traced it.

    Interesting use of magnets in guitar

    I saw this posted in tdpri. I usually don't like these kind of videos, but this one was wild enough to keep my interest. I think this crowd will appreciate it.

    How many pedals?

    I've built 66. Probably gave about 10 of those away, and took apart 5 I didn't like to repurpose parts. The rest I still have--definitely more than I need or use.

    Pro-10

    Having built several bluesbreaker type pedals, I was underwhelmed by the blue side of this. The green side is nice though, but I never use it because it's stuck in a dual pedal.

    Where are people getting potentiometers?

    never noticed that issue with tayda branded pots, but I usually stick to the alpha anyway because I figure they must cut something to make them that much cheaper.

    Do you have a one-knob TL071 boost?

    Also, the google query site:pedalpcb.com filetype:pdf tl071 will bring up some of the build docs that have tl071 in them. Looks like one of the top hits (Celsius) is a 1-knob w/ a tl071, as is the Triangulum (both of these also have a chargepump too).

    Article 59 Diode Question

    It's not going to impact tone either way, but from the schematic, I'd probably use a 1n5817 there as it's part of the power section.
