Haven't done a build report before really, but I thought I'd share some of the new direction I've been going with my builds. Been pretty happy with the consistency and process of designing in Affinity and printing on waterslide decals. TS808 is pretty stock with green LEDs, sounds great! Built...

D’oh! 😅 Guess my monkey brain only sees shiny! I was also thinking of the Gov’nator build, which has very visually obvious and kinda fun LED clipping, but i guess the difference is hard vs soft clipping? Thanks for the continued information, I always had a suspicion that the green ones were my...

I was just reading another thread where CDB posted a handy dandy chart on this subject, guess I should be more discerning about my greenies! I had a quick question; will the size, like 3mm and 5mm, have an affect on the related Vf readout? Maybe, but not as much as the color? Also, I put some...

So this is like becoming a franchised pedal builder? Ie; I used to make sandwiches, but if i call it subway i can enjoy the built in demand of a pre established license? its an interesting idea, although i also wonder if build inconsistencies and coordination could be an issue. Not for me, but...

Probably why i cant keep it straight, im not cut out for this gig

Oh man oh man, I finally feel less alone, I was on an absolute losing streak with my enclosures for about a month straight. It all started when I got all my project parts from Tayda, but noticed the enclosures looked smaller than usual... I had ordered 5 or so 125b style enclosures, which are...

I feel like the TS808, Rat, guvnator and BigMuffs are great offers as people have stated. Theyre totally what i started with too, and honestly recently ive been going back to just trying to really nail these builds after my dalliances with modulation/verb. But I also wonder if its a kind of...

Damn thats a huge drag, DHL usually got it over in a few days rather than a few weeks for just a few dollars more, spoiled me i guess! Has anyone tried https://www.surplus-electronics-sales.com/ ? I found it the other day but havent made an order yet, apparently theyre out of Ohio and have no...

'where-is-that-hum-coming-from?'

+1 to all of Junderwood's picks, though I haven't personally used sound skulptor kits. I've a pair of Lolas from Hairball, a CP5 and EQP5x2 from DIYRE, and most recently a pair of DIY Neumann KM 84 from Microphone-parts.com and I love them all dearly. I'm totally in love with the...

Kinda left field/not pedals, but awhile ago I came into a dismantled EV N/D767a, a dynamic microphone. Im considering putting it back together, but I guess I was gonna seek some input (heh). Because I've also discovered through my various dismantling a small, unidentifiable transformer, pulled...

Yeah if anything, she (and your wallet) should be thankful that you ARENT into synths, its a dark road! That being said, anyone else eyeing the Behringer 2600 Blue/Gray faces?? Seems like a cool breach into some semi modular stuff. Say what you want about Behringer but they re release synths...

Thanks! My enclosure process is pretty tedious, but I basically Hodgepodge comic strips as a collage onto the enclosure and then spray it with varnish/acrylic like usual. It's fun and contributes to each one being unique and kinda 'arty,' but takes exponentially longer per pedal as I go out, buy...

Not proud but got mine from amazon, 20$ seems like the going rate

Im curious about this too. As a (former, damn covid) live engineer, people would always bring in their Boss guitar pedals and look at me with an impotent, blank stare, holding the mic cable and the pedal up, asking me 'do you uh, have the thing to make this work'? Yes I do, but instead how about...

Man I love the Guvnator, even though I thought I wouldn't cuz I never liked the commercial versions that I tried. The LED clipping is great, I love the way it looks exposed when running. On full blast it makes any guitar sound like a gibby through a marshal, and every A chord make me feel like...

Oh yeah, I forgot that Squidward doesnt have a potentiometer, duh! Still havent built that one, but people really seem to like it. Two sticks sounds cool too, I may have to 'borrow' this idea :censored:

Just curious @DGWVI, how was the single potentiometer wired in that situation, and did the value have to change? I assume it's just doubled up as if it was just a shared knob? Also curious, how were the PCBs mounted inside if they weren't suspended by a pot? Thanks, cool idea I'd really like to...

2nd on the ghost echo, I'm choosy about my reverbs as well (holy grail, more like holy FAIL) and it's f*kn phenomenal. My one complaint is that it's a little difficult to dial in a really short verb, but the mix knob makes my ears happier. As for pedals I wish I could like, I keep coming back to...

Freakin' awesome, beautiful wiring and layout! I assume the tubes are mounted on the top so you can see em while playing? Cool. Also curious, how much does a build like this run you, you mentioned it's pricy but it seems like the tranny and tubes are the only really 'specific' parts there other...
