    AionFX StrayLight (Univox Univibe)

    Rolling right along with the build report dump.... I have to admit I'm not much of a Univibe user. Mainly because I can't seem to get them to sound good with gain. I've built both the ElectroVibe and ElectroVibe Mini. I really didn't have a good reason to built another vibe. But to absolutely...

    Maximum Drive (Maxon OD-01 The Driver)

    Oh I forgot to post the schematic I found for this. It's not Robert's but it will give you an idea what's going on.

    MadBean Nom Nom & BlackHatBoojum Peacemaker (MXR Phase 90 & 45)

    If you've been following my somewhat irregular build reports, you'll recall the deep rabbit hole I went down (again) with the MXR Phase 90 and Phase 45. The first time I fell down the rabbit hole was back in 2022 when I built the XC Phase. This most recent rabbit hole, I was just standing at...

    Maximum Drive (Maxon OD-01 The Driver)

    Despite the close naming to my last build report, the Ibanez Jet Driver. This is not the same pedal. First of all this pedal dates back to the mid 80's. I don't believe there is an Ibanez counterpart to the OD-01. However, like the Jet Driver, this is a pretty high gain pedal. There is a...

    Jet Drive (Ibanez JD9 Jet Driver)

    I'm going to try to get some build reports reported Haven't been very consistent with that. This past year or so I've been on a roll with finding and building some older more obscure overdrives and really digging them. The Ibanez JD9 is a newer addition to the PPCB catalog but is a somewhat...

    The 2026 revised film free decal tutorial

    You need a new drum unit. Not just the toner cartridge. (I am a professional, I used to work for Xerox... :ROFLMAO: ....true story)

    Low Tide faceplate LED bezel?

    When I have a hankering to use a metal bezel and its too tall to not short out against the board, I'll just use a hack saw or Dremel and cut off the shank of the bezel down to the threads. That usually does the trick. Oh and I don't use the little plastic holder for the led since soldering it to...

    MXR Phase 45 (Sheepy Love)

    Here we go again, another phase shifter! I mentioned in my last Phase 90 build report that I had a Phase 45 project incoming that @szukalski laid out for me. It only made sense since we started down this path. As you may recall, the premise of these phasers was testing/confirming that SMD...

    MXR Phase 90 (Sheepy Love) - redux

    I think there was a thread about that at some point. But yes "some" and perhaps "many" circuits don't care about the position of the Source and Gate. But not all. Best to try to get them matched correctly.

    Eternal Burst (Lovepedal Eternity Burst)

    Never heard of the "Black" variant. But they're a couple of components away from being a Tubescreamer.

    Help measuring SMD JFETS

    I like how he did the SMD testing pads. My method is using an adapter and pressing down with a pair of tweezers until I get a reading. It's pretty hinkey and I wouldn't want to do a whole bunch at one time. Although the magnet does help it "jump" into place. Doing it the upside down way at...

    MXR Phase 90 (Sheepy Love) - redux

    Best deal is at LCSC with their "slow boat" shipping. It's like less than 1/2 the price of Mouser. (at 100pc) Having said that, if you just need a matched set, DM me. I've got a butt load of 208's haha.

    MXR Phase 90 (Sheepy Love) - redux

    In my post for the first Sheepy Love SMD Phase 90 I mentioned that I had ordered 100 Toshiba 2SK208-GR SMD jfets. These are the SMD equivalents of the 2SK30A Jfets that were used in the Boss PH-1 and PH-1r phasers. So I'm mixing metaphors here by using them in the MXR phasers which originally...

    All Tayda pre-drilled, powder coated enclosures out of stock

    Nah, drilling is part of the DIY experience, all y'all that use drilling services are missing out........ :p Stocking some UN-drilled Tayda power coated enclosures would be cool though.
