    New (to me) pedal day!

    I was helping a friend date some music gear this past weekend and before I left he walked up and handed me this. He knew that I wanted it but couldn't afford to pay what it's worth so he gave it to me 😮. It looks to be an early 80's DMM and has four of the MN3005 BBD and a 2-prong attached AC...

    What does everyone do for a living?

    I'm a mechanic and work on everything from small gasoline engines to diesel pickups to large farm machinery. I also do metal fabrication including welding, lathe work, and mill work. People always look at me funny when they find out that I like to build effects pedals and work on guitar amps lol.

    Thoughts on the KSGER T12 Soldering Station?

    I've been on the hunt for a new soldering station since my 939D started acting up when I came across the KSGER T12. I know the older units did not have a chassis ground but it appears that the newer models do (this one at least) https://a.co/d/fxcEEZY Do any of you have this soldering station...

    Tone Vender MK1 OC75 question

    I need a quick sanity check lol. On the Pedal PCB Tone Vender MK1, does the red dot on the OC75 go to the left or to the right?

    My Amp Repair Journey

    So, you know how most sane people start off with something like a 5E1 Champ as their first amp project? Yeah, that wasn’t what I did lol. Back in 2006 I purchased a B52 AT212 100W combo amp from Guitar Center for $750. It had two gain channels (that share the same EQ), a mid-sweep contour...

    Printer advice

    I’m planning to get a LaserJet printer for use with the SunnyScopa film free decal paper but I’m not sure what to get. What features and specs should I be looking for? I’d like to keep the price around $200 if possible.

    Finally scored some 6L6GCs! (Amp repair time)

    I have a B52 AT212 combo amp that I’ve been repairing but had to stop because I couldn’t find a matched quad of 6L6GC tubes. Yesterday I was finally able to order a set so I can finally get this amp up and running again and finish the mods.

    USA source for ge transistors for fuzz face?

    Where are y’all purchasing ge transistors here in the US? So far I’ve only been able to find pairs for $20 on eBay. All of the large lots (100 pieces) are shipping from Russia or Ukraine and for obvious reasons I have doubts that I would actually receive anything ordered from those locations.

    What are some “must build” pedal circuits that you think everyone should try?

    I’m looking for more ideas and started wondering what everyone’s “must build” pedals are.

    ProtoBoard parts source issue.

    I'm wanting to build the PedalPCB ProtoBoard but I can't find a LD1117S33 or LD1117S50 in stock anywhere. Would anyone here happen to have them and if so mind parting with one of each? ETA: It would probably help if I mentioned that live in the continental US lol.

    Gauss drive is driving me $&@!!*# insane.

    I’m attempting to breadboard the Gauss drive and it’s whipping my ass like I own it money. I can’t get past the first wiring up the first IC because I can never get the gain pot to work. The first couple of times I kept the board neat and tidy. At this point I said screw and let the rats nest...

    New to building pedals and having a blast!

    Howdy! I’ve been playing guitar off and on for about 20 years (I’m 39) but never messed with effects much until a few years ago. I started off with a Crybaby from Hell then a Barber Gain Changer SR, Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe, Wampler Ratsbane, JHS 3-series delay and reverb, and a JHS Bender. A...
