I’m sure I didn’t have that one. I was pretty poor back in about 1982

Yes, that is a beauty. I like your graphic and overall aesthetic better than mine.

I do not have any of these but I once had a Peavy!

Right. Been a long time since I watched cartoons

Thanks. So many pedals to build! I am loving working on the labeling and enclosure finishing.

Yes, I love my Early 60s Fender amps. I also love the reverb and Tremolo on my Fender amps. I have no Marshalls.

I am going to check out the Aion Tachyon. I am not gigging or recording so my own wants are different than people who do those activities.

Many people love this circuit and I guess I sort of do also– PPCB site reviews. The Mach 1 is a decent overdrive pedal that is not overpowered but has headroom. I can get it to sound like crunchy overdrive and I can get transparency – If I crank the drive it becomes a compressed distortion...

Yes, but luckily the orientation does not matter with the ceramic cap and it works great. I almost forgot - it was late last night when I wrote this up, C8 calls for a Tantalum 10u and for that spot I used a 10U electrolytic cap without issue and it is polarized.

You can hit a note and it will just roll distortion out forever; it is aggressive and compressed. Whenever I have an overdrive/dfzz/distortion pedal I like to roll the gain down to zero to see if I can get any useable overdrive without the rolling distortion. With this circuit, it cleans up some...

Fight for your right!

I am glad I was not the only one who was unimpressed. I just found this build report where the builder gave it a "meh".

Not sure if it is a big deal but the actual PCB board is different than the image on the website

I am happy with the aesthetic and the build. It is attractive to me and functions great. This is a dirt pedal: extreme dirt or moderate dirt with no ability to get clean or even semi-clean overdrive by rolling off gain or adjusting tone controls. I do not find versatility in such a pedal and the...

No mods. It is a dirt pedal, and it can get filthy. The cut is interesting; I like it near 9 o'clock... if you turn it towards 3 o'clock it muffles and cuts highs. This circuit in not overpowered like others I have built but it has some headroom. The build gets rave reviews on the PPCB site. I...

I am going to order a few. Not sure I like the giant hole and the offset D.C. hole but the space saving and no de-soldering sounds great.

Welcome. It is a fun hobby with a cool byproduct. As @SamuelG suggested... start with kits. I probably built ten StewMac pedal kits before I was confident enough to get a blank PCB. I imagine others learn by reading, watching, listening... I learn by doing and making mistakes. Probably my best...

I tried this circuit with the D9E Ge and a 5mm red diffused LED and the sound was glorious. I love this circuit and that is why I keep building it. I love that the PPCB board is small and has very few components yet the sound is full-on. The LED seems to make it a little lower-toned and...

This is pedal number 82 for me and the second Robin Trower OD I have built. It is very creamy with a distinct-mids-tone. I enjoy the overdrive that this pedal produces, but for me I want to go to a lower tone which I do not think I can get with this pedal. This is more creamy Tube Screamer than...
