    Your favorite earplugs?

    Used to use Etymotics now use Alpine Music Pros. The latter have two filters. I use the strong ones. It sounds like shit on stage and I don't enjoy the music but hearing damage is a nightmare i want to avoid.

    Has PedalPCB looked into IOSS (VAT + declaration for goods sent to EU) ?

    Every time I buy from the US I get charged about 25% of the total order to cover Poland's 23% VAT and import taxes. I pay that at the post office when I get my package. I don't think there's a way for the vendor to deal with that. It's not too much hassle for me besides the expense. However...

    PSA: The Holiday Blues

    We went to see Mom today. Her ashes are close to her parents'. I don't like cemeteries, I prefer to remember people when they were alive, but my sister wanted to wish her Merry Christmas since starting from this year, Mom won't be at home with us. On Monday one of my best friends went into...

    Calamity Fuzz jfet bias.

    I built mine with the first 3 JFETs I had without testing them. SMD. I socketed the biasing resistors anticipating a biasing tour-de-force but the stock values did it for me. I have a full range on the Gate knob so the pedal is quite usable with all my guitars and it sounds just like the demos...

    Affinity Software - October 2025 Announcement

    I suffered from Windows 95 to XP for 16 years. Never again. I saved for 4 years to move to MacOS and I hope I can stay in the Apple ecosystem as it's very stable. I'm on my second Mac in almost 15 years and I've experienced exactly zero OS issues. Only Adobe apps ever gave me problems. I'm still...

    What are you currently reading?

    For me it's time to read The October Country again. Love the weird tales in it. But first I need to finish rereading the classic Borges stories: The lottery of Babylon and The library of Babel.

    Taqueria Overdrive PCB - Available Now!

    I first set mine to the published Taco settings but I kept adjusting the trimmers until I found voltages that work better with my rig. I encourage you to tweak those suckers till you're happy. I really love this pedal, it's got so much range. Enoy!

    25uF Capacitors for Tone Vendor MK1?

    I bought an axial 25uF for a vintage fuzz build and it measured exactly 22uf. Son of a bitch :) Tolerances are high in caps, just stay in the ballpark of the desired value and you'll be good.

    Affinity Software - October 2025 Announcement

    I own Adobe CS5.5 and when I bought a new mac 2 years ago I couldn't use the apps anymore because they are 32 bit so I bought the Affinity suite just in case I need to do graphics again. Frankly I hate these apps because I have 20+ years of Adobe workflow and keyboard shortcuts engraved in my...

    The Creamery Compressor (DOD MilkBox)

    Who needs labels on a compressor? No one can tell what the knobs do anyway! What a great build. Can't go wrong with a nipple bezel and a sheepy daughterboard!

    Tone Generator - First ever 1590A build!

    We ain't getting younger or better at guitar, I fear. Michael, I hope you keep kicking ass for a long time. While you recover, the best thing to do is suck in those solder fumes. The second best thing is to record music. Nothing like recording to help improve our musicianship, I've found. But...
