    Appreciation.

    Seconded and thirded, I can't be more thankful for this community and how much i've learned. A year ago i kinda talked idly, that it'd be cool to learn how to make my own equipment, pedals and pres and the rest. Now I have an arsenal of BAMF pedals and a DIY mic pre and a ribbon mic kit in the...

    Muroidea no sound.

    Well ive always used either an op07 op amp or a TL71, both from tayda. The LM833 seems to be a dual op amp again, so make sure to check to see if you have any single channel op amps.

    Basic Workflow Tips for Building a PedalPCB

    Hey gang, IDK if this has been posted on the forums before, but I was really impressed with the detail in the 'support' tab of Seventh Circle Audio's website. Everything from basic soldering and handling, resistors and capacitors to transformers and lists of suggested gear and procedure, its...

    Distortion 250 Gain Pot Issue

    I'm having the same issue with this pedal, Ill try popping a c100k in there instead! I have c2 in a socket, but maybe I'll mess with c3 in the interim. Sounds great when its all the way up! but the potentiometer is basically for show.

    Sabbath Distortion

    I have a sabbath build that also doesnt work, but because of the transistors that I havent ordered! The bc184lc from Tayda however is a reversed pinout I believe, so you have to mind that? I also understand mouser makes reliable pn4393s, thats what im waiting to order.

    Cataclysm Delay Freak Out

    Hey uh, is there any more information I can provide? Or a better way to present the issue? Im probably gonna toss this circuit out unless I can figure out why its eating IC chips...

    Cataclysm Delay Freak Out

    Hey all, So after boxing up my second Cataclysm, I was feelin pretty confident. Plugged it in, and got a horrible distorted squealing! I could barely make out an idea of a delay underneath a constant high pitched feedback which continuously dropped in frequency, until it just passed regular...

    What's on the workbench?

    Today I'm finishing boxing the delay on right, 'arting' another Rat enclosure, and finishing up my first Sabbath, which I dont have high hopes for because transistors... the rather profane 'guvnator in the middle needs to have its pots replaced (I tried to rescue them from an old scraped...

    CV7112

    Also interested in ch ra's question. Ive been looking for somewhere to source an cv7112 and it just seems to be straight up unavailable. And in general im interested in some of these classic circuits, but might want to use modern parts just because im cheap (ie broke). Which are the ranges on...

    Soothing frequencies

    As i was saying with a friend recently, there’s a lot of different flavors of dirt! It’s been really interesting learning about distortion circuits in particular, and how many different, sometimes elegant ways they do the same thing differently. I have a background as an live sound engineer...

    Your favorite silicon transistor?

    Hey all im pretty new and i really want to learn how different transistors sound so i can start understanding what related variables in a circuit effect sound and gain. Whats a good pedal to build to have some fun with transistor sockets? I have a Sabbath pcb i havent started, a rat problem and...

    Any reason why I should not combine a Captain Bit and a Sea Horse in series, in the same enclosure?

    Interested in this as well, as i really want to start combining some weird stuff in the same enclosures. Would love to hear soundclips of how it turns out, im into a little bit of noise myself :p

    Bass Pedals

    Well I was actually talking about this with a friend last night We were both complaining that many pedals marketed for bass overdrive actually seem to suck low end out (we both play bottom heavy, loud 'metal'), and it's much easier to find OD pedals I dont like for bass. My entire bass rig is...

    Bass Pedals

    I was thinking about building a Unison Double tracker for my rig, I have a Rat i built that is a permanent part of my setup, and I'm def gonna try the Abyss when i complete it here in a day or two. Question: what are the most common 'mods' for pedals that make it handle low frequencies better...
