In the spirit of @fig it’s time to give back to the awesome community here. For those of you who weren’t around then he was a cool dude who gave a LOT back to this community whether it was components, doodads, gift cards, or other circuit toys. It’s time for another “contest”. This time you...

In the spirit of giving back to the community here, we are kicking off another round of giveaways. We're still going to do "guess the number" to keep a level playing field. The rules are simple: -Pick a number from 1 through 1000 -To be an official submission you must also post “white washers...

I've asked this in the past, but there are a lot of new faces around here. I had the day off yesterday for the US holiday and decided to clean all my guitars and change their strings. I don't look forward to doing this since it's time consuming and I'd rather be playing (took me an afternoon to...

SBP sent me a goody bag and am finally going through it. Can anyone tell me what kind of pot this is? It's a 16mm pot, but just odd labelling...

As 2025 comes to a close I wanted to reach out to all of you with some thoughts I've had over the past few weeks. 2025 has been a tough year for a lot of us. New regime change, tariffs, inflation, job losses, restructuring, family health concerns, global warming. You name it. Big changes have...

For those of you who are fuzz junkies, the PPCB Percolation Station (Harmonic Percolator) is one of the more unique fuzzes out there using a 2 transistors (Q1 is germanium and Q2 is silicon) that feed into each other and make something very different sonically. Here is a breadboard tutorial for...

I've built a few pedalboards for my needs at the time and I'm thinking it may be time for a revision. I'll most likely be making it myself out of some scrap wood (plywood, pine, or maybe something fancier). My first "board" was literally just a plank board, but that was just a placeholder and...

Update: Final artwork in post #4. This circuit is definitely a sleeper around here since there aren't a lot of build reports on it. Or I just don't know how to use the search function on here :ROFLMAO: This is the Disarray Distortion (Suhr Riot). If you want a super high gain, gnarly Marshall...

I wanna get a sense of what people like for reverb out there. As a bedroom/basement player it one of my "always on" effects, though I do tweak the knobs depending on what I'm playing. I would like to explore more DIY options out there for some winter projects for myself. My reverb is Belton...

I've got an old Marshall MG30 that I keep in my home office for noodling around. I had the power switch break off this afternoon (it's a simple rocker switch). How would I go about fixing it? I'm assuming I need to take the amp apart and see if there are other stray parts that broke off. I...

I'm starting to check out the Soldano SLO tone and I think it's pretty killer. From what I've heard/read its pretty much the grandfather of all the high gain amps out there today. I would love to get my hands on one, but I really don't have the space for another "amp on tap" ready to plug in and...

What’s up, meat bags! Time for another contest hosted by BuddytheReow and introducing Stickman as co-host. Reading the room as well as what’s going on outside of here we thought we should put together a little contest for your folks, but with some tweaks. Given the current state of the economy...

Decided to get some time under the iron this morning before work. I pulled out a newer board (Lead Solder Overdrive) and noticed that pot values are also labelled on the backside of the board. Definitely saves me the 0.13574 seconds to turn it over multiple times while putting the pots in...

It’s been a while since there’s been a circuit design or ANY contest for that matter (I miss Fig’s “Guess the Number” contest). Anybody here interested in hosting or participating in one? Just trying to gauge general interest. This thread could also be used any future contest ideas. Or is...

This is probably one of the most expensive and longest builds I've ever done. Keep reading and you'll see why. It's a little graphic. You've been warned... Huge shout out to @steviejr92 for the PCB and enclosure. Around fall time of last year I had an itch to build something that was more in...

I've had this in a bare enclosure since last year. It's been on and off my board for a while now. For those that are relatively new to the forum, Fig was a cool dude that really wanted to be a part of this community. We miss him. Hope he's rocking in his retirement. Anywhoo, here's another...

This is more taking a snapshot of the group here than anything else. I started by build journey just to see what all the hype a tube screamer had to offer. Then I wanted to see what a BMP was all about. Then a Rat. Then delay/modulation. The list goes on. Now in my build journey, I've just...

Hey Guys, Not guitar pedal related, per se, but a project I am working on. I've got some pretty good, albeit old, speakers that I'm trying to hook up to a bluetooth transmitter and amplifier that I'm going to stuff into a 125b enclosure (along with other items making this a utility box) and...
