    DEMO Mod Electronics Odyssey Phaser

    Pretty cool DIY phaser project from by Mod Electronics sold by Amplified Parts. Fuzz with a phaser is one of my favorite combos. And this phaser sounds great with fuzz. Easy build. I built exactly to BOM except I didnt have any TL062 so I used a TL072. Got the MPSA64, 14, and LDRs from them...

    Buffalo Hump Distortion

    Cool little Ram's Head Muff with a mids knob. Weston Grey enclosure from Stompbox Parts with UV printed sticker. I had a hand full of NOS BC239Cs but I decided to use transistors that matched closer to the specs in the build doc. I think thats really what the originals biggest draw was the...

    A Couple of Builds with PiF Enclosures

    I ended using 2 of the enclosures I got from this year's PIF and wanted to share. 1st one is the Glue Trap Fuzz. I like this sparkly green 1590BB box. It's a cool IC Muff. Came it pretty good. Inside is a mess like usual 2nd one is my build of the Supersquish Compressor. Very cool...

    Lightswitches

    I thought these 2 would go well together. Spoiler; they do. They both are very similar. Which is not that suprising since only a few components separate them. Marketed as "original" but I'm getting very Blues Breaker and TS vibes. They both can do overdrive and distortion but together really...

    DEMO Other* Pedals The Wonk Machine

    This is the build I did for the Other* Pedals Wonk Machine. This is the kit that came with everything except the pots. This is a circuit based on the EQD Zap Machine. Which is based off the Zonk Machine. I tried building a couple Zonk machines variant before with poor results. So I went with...

    Dead Air Studios Builds

    Here is the report for 3 builds I did from Dead Air Studios. The Sawzall, Bow Echo, and Face Disaster The Sawzall is a basically Distortion+ with the HM2 EQ. Very powerful EQ that super tweakable. Some fun sounds out of this one. It also has a switch to turn the OD off to just use it as an EQ...

    DEMO Other* Pedals DIY Stock Albini Blues Kit Build

    **Edit: forgot to add pics Very cool version of the Harmonic Percolator with a switch to go between the Stock version on the Steve Albini mod. I went with the full Kit since all the work was pretty much done. I just had to solder everything and install it. Took me less than an hour. The...

    Double Muffin Build

    Had to do it. This is a very clever idea. Very easy build. I went with the Green Russian and Triangle since I thought that might be some good differences. That's the one issue with most Muffs, is that they are not super drastic from one another. These 2 are just enough to tell the difference...

    Tyco Brahe Ocavia Diode Lift Mod

    So, im trying to figure out how to add the diode lift switch to this Octavia vero layout, Ala Fulltone Octafuzz. Can I leave the diodes on the board or should I take them offboard? Looks like the cathode of both diodes are going to lug 3 of the volume pot. Just unsure of how to wire the switch...

    Double Muffin Drill Template

    @Robert since no docs up yet, is there a current drill template I can use for the Double Muffin? Does the Dream Fuzz work for it?

    Schu-Tone Maniac Flanger

    This is the Maniac Flanger based off the MXR M117. This is my 3rd Schu-Tone tone and once again @dan.schumaker knocked it out of the park. Sometimes stacked boards can be intimidating but this went super easy. Great layout to fit everything with 1/4 watt resistors. It was tight but all fit...

    Bipolar LED on DMI Dual Octave Pedal

    Just ordered a Dual Octave PCB from Dirt Monger Instruments. It uses an DPDT to toggle 1 or 2 octaves with an individual LED for those 2 settings. (I plan on using 3PDT). Can I just use a bicolor LED? Would that be common anode or common ground? Would it be as easy as wiring the ground of the...

    DEMO Abominable Pedals Hail Satan PCB Kit Build

    I really like the Hail Satan pedal so I jumped on the kits Abominable just started selling. There is nothing super special about the circuit. Muff style with LED clipping diodes and a footswitch to activate another set of LED clipping diodes. Its nasty and massive. Fun to play Sleep and...

    SOLVED Muzzle Not working properly

    I hate being that guy but I'm stuck on this one. I built this up with the side chain passthrough, exactly as shown in the build doc. Populated the board to stock except, I'm using a pre-wired LED that has the CLR built-in so I jumpered R21 and R22 with a 0ohm resistor...

    NOTADOOMER

    Still not sure what this is derived from but I just know it kicks ass. Very reminiscent of a Muff but not as thick. Still beefy and fuzzy. I was thinking of building just the 1 knob version but Im glad I did this one. Having the input and filter knobs outside are pretty helpful and getting a...

    DEMO Frost Giant Soma - PHB Submission

    My submission for the Player Hater's Ball contest. I've been waiting to find something that fits the criteria. I built this one a few months ago and it didn't work right so it just sat in its unfinished enclosure. It was one of my first bigger stripboard builds. Not that its big, the offboard...

    FX5X Squeal

    So, not sure if this is just normal for this circuit but, I'm getting some annoying squealing at high gain. I built this to the FX-55B Supra Distortion specs. A buddy of mine really wanted this for nostalgic purposes. I first had the A500k in for the gain but all the Distortion was only at...

    DEMO Frost Giant Little Acid Fuzz/EHX Little Big Muff Stripboard Build

    This was thought about and made specifically for the Muff contest. Which I assume is still going on. (Don't think I've seen an official entry yet) This could actually fit into the criteria for the PHB contest since I built it yesterday with mostly stuff I had on hand. But, since rules dictate...

    DEMO Eight Ball Overdrive

    I do love me a good MIAB. This is the newer one from Marshall. Built to the BOM except I used JRC4559 for the opamps. Funny story, I purchased surface mount MC33178 but accidentally ordered the MOIC format instead of the SOIC. I got adapters but it was such a pain to solder such a tiny IC...

    What site was this?

    I'm trying to find the link for a site that was posted on here not too long ago. It was a basic site where you can search on a component, and it would tell you what you can build with it. Does that ring a bell to anyone? It was pretty helpful
