This is the link I bookmarked some time back: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/sola-sound-yellow-hybrid-tone-bender.5855/ From memory it had loads of suggested tweaks and it was interesting seeing the way it was traced from photos and I think a forum member had one and took meter reading. Is...

I have just got a second hand Joe Bonamassa wah, and noticed a small capacitor across lugs 1 and 3 of the wah pot. I’ve never seen this before, either in images or schematic for this wah or any other wah, and it looks like a modification, not from the factory. The sweep had some crackle so I...

I’ve recently got a Quecoo T12-956 soldering station to replace the most basic of basic soldering irons I’ve been using, an Antex C15. The Antex has served me well but ever since watching a video by Marcus Reeves on tools for pedal building, in which he said he was using a Quecoo in preference...

Has anyone else bought a Hammond 1590N only to discover it wasn’t what you were expecting? The damn thing has ribs! I ordered three of them, the one I wanted, and had obviously bought before, was a 1590N1. I had no idea there was this other version! Thankfully I can just slide a piece of paper...

I have “insufficient privileges to reply” to post on the original Sola Sound Yellow Hybrid Tone Bender thread where the circuit was traced, but I noticed that the tone pot on that version was a W20K, It looks like they have also used a B22K, well on a later version at any rate. I notice that...

I’m getting myself in a mess because I don’t know how to do the calculations! This circuit is Spaceman Effects Charon, traced by Deadend FX. I’ve bread boarded it and think the fuzz is quite appealing, but I feel the tone control does nothing, it is supposed to cut bass as you turn it clockwise...

I got these ’smart’ tweezers just before Christmas and I wish I’d got them a lot sooner. I predominantly use them to check component values before stuffing them in to a PCB or bread board, and they save a lot of time when resorting all the components once I’ve pulled the bread board apart...

I had the opportunity to play my mate’s Rattler V2, and thought the boost was a very nice addition, once we’d taken it down from it’s default maximum. As far as I know it’s not been traced and I thought it might be a bit of fun to bread board a circuit that might give a close approximation of...

My only electric guitar for many, many years was a strat and I enjoyed discovering the tubescreamer, blues breaker, klon etc, then I got an Epiphone Les Paul 50’s and stopped playing the Strat, then I let the Strat go in exchange for a tele. Now my pedal board has a looper, tuner and delay...

I know it’s a dull question, but what are you using for your guitar cable? I was about to get the D'Addario American Stage cable but thought I’d ask here in case there is a better option at the same price point.

I’ve become a bit fixated on the idea of a tube OD/preamp pedal build, the ‘Son of Ben’ is my current OD of choice and having built and tweaked my own SE valve (sorry I’m British) amp, I’d like to tinker again! What I’d like to find is a schematic or PCB for a universal power supply to do the...

I'm trying to track down a v1.7 and or v1.4 OCD schematic. I'd like to breadboard it over the weekend to see if it's something I need! Did Pedal PCB do an older version of the ADHD? Funny I should be looking for this today, but it has nothing to do with the news from Fulltone, It was watching...

Having breadboarded the Golden Fleece over a year ago I eventually made my own board, it ended up as a test bed for a new etching rocker system!
 
 The original thread for the Golden Fleece is here: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/mythos-golden-fleece-fuzz.4202/ I've used a 100pf for C6...

My pedal building has slowed down somewhat, a consequence of lack of parts, costs going up and playing more guitar! But a new Epiphone Les Paul was a good excuse for a treble booster in the form of ROG Omega, which is a FET based, so not traditional at all. I’m still finding my way with it, but...

I started drilling, gave up, got in the car and drove to a supermarket where I bought some reading glasses, came back and was able to see what I was drilling! I feel it is down hill from here :oops: As a side note, any etchers here?

There are so many PCBs here, many I have no experience of, but it got me thinking that I have a few builds that I built out of curiosity rather than true desire, and others have been a burning, ‘can’t wait to try it out’ builds. I’m guessing many of us are building a respectable collection now...

I've just got 20 1T308B and they all display the diode symbol between the collector and emitter with a forward voltage around 4v on my component tester. I'm new to Ge transistors so it could well be normal for them, but if anyone can shed some light on what it means I would be grateful. My plan...

I have two bags of GL5516 LDRs bought from two different suppliers on ebay, using my multimeter and shoving the LDR in a dark drawer I'm getting a reading of about 4M ohms from one lot and 6M ohms from the other. KE-10720 LDRs seem to be beyond the measuring capability of my multimeter. Using...

I know it's not been released yet, but can this be easily modded to have a level control like the CE2B? I think it's just a variable resister between the effect and the input of the output half of the opamp. https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb416/

I know there is some info in another thread, but it would be helpful if this and the other 'Boneyard' editions had a bit of info to help make the decision as to which version to build. First, are there any tonal differences? I can see the the output section is been fed off the opamp not the...
