    Breakstreet Overdrive (Sobbat Drive Breaker DB-1)

    Hey @dc1508 , welcome to the zoo! :p No problem with the necro bump. But unfortunately I no longer have this pedal. As I recall it though, it was a pretty high gain with a wide gain range. I'm sure there are existing circuits that have the same general sound but this pedal has that "Japanese"...

    Greer Mizuki Blue (PPCB Blue Yonder Overdrive)

    No, it won't affect the noise. Grounding both negative jack lugs is redundant so I've just stopped doing it,

    Greer Mizuki Blue (PPCB Blue Yonder Overdrive)

    This is one I was not planning to build. I'm generally not a big fan of JFET based overdrives but @bluedmc777 twisted my arm so hard that it popped out of the shoulder socket. Once I jacked it back in place by slamming myself against the wall, I ordered the board....... :ROFLMAO: So despite my...

    Thumbucker Compressor (ValveWizard Engineers Thumb)

    I wish....as @Guardians of the analog said, it's a Tayda powder coated box. They're an extraordinary value at $6 ea. But shipping has gotten pretty bad with the tariffs. That's why most of my builds lately are in raw enclosures.

    Splendiferous (Aka Mad Professor Royal Blue Overdrive)

    It's not very close to a Timmy. Its gainy-er and the clipping sounds more like a Dumble-esque overdrive than anything else. Keeping in mind that Juhl's always has his own thing going on. One of the reasons I love his circuits.

    I may have to use the Tayda drilling service for my next C2C build. Have you built the Tungsten yet? I'm on the fence with that one. Aside from the XLR out, I'm not sure how much difference there is to the Particle Accelerator. @vigilante398 ?

    C2C BassDude (Fender 5B6 Tweed Bassman Preamp)

    I can't believe I never posted a build report of this. I had every intention to, and thought I did. I just pulled this out again after sitting on the shelf all year and just floored at how great it sounds! This is the early 50's 5B6 version of the Tweed Bassman, not the more familiar 5F6A...

    Thumbucker Compressor (ValveWizard Engineers Thumb)

    Well the volume of my build reports lately is more of "catching up" a years worth of builds. But then, when I get on a roll, I can get pretty zoned in......

    Thumbucker Compressor (ValveWizard Engineers Thumb)

    Well it's been a minute since I built a compressor.:) I actually built the Thumbsucker a couple of years aso. Build report here. I was just so enamored with the General Tso at the time, and I didn't really know how to use a "more knobs" compressor very well. I wound up gifting it to a buddy...

    How do YOU clean your boards?

    99% IPA isn't worth the cost. Once you open it it becomes like 85%. I get the 91% as it's the best deal. $3 at Walmart for a bottle.

    NEIN! (Fairfield Circuitry ~900 Fuzz)

    That's 22 AWG buss wire. the big poly cap is a Panasonic ECQ-B 10nf. The last of them in my stash. I'm so sad they disco'd those caps. The small ones are more red in color. This are probably KYETs. The brown ones are Silver Mica 220pf caps. Last of those as well but those are available, just pricey.

    NEIN! (Fairfield Circuitry ~900 Fuzz)

    It's definitely not the usual "out in left field" type pedals from Fairfield. It's like the Chop Chop of fuzzes..... :ROFLMAO:
