Me too! The design on the other side is very generic and doesn't have much personality. I liked this one cause it's different.

Everything looks good. Order placed. We'll see how this turns out soon. :)

...and of course, what would it be if it didn't have a faceplate to go with it? I'll print this out later today and make sure everything fits nicely and do any last minute tweaks before sending it off to jlpcb (still cheaper than osh park even with all the tariff nonsense).

I can't tell a difference between all the ones I've used.. at least in pedals. It's a pretty well-known chip so I wouldn't expect much variation between manufacturers -- they're probably all fabbed in the same plant in China. :)

I've been on a modulation pedal kick recently, so a phaser and vibrato in one pedal? Definitely a must build. Like the Honey Coma, it's a straight forward build with a lot of room. I got the faceplate, cause, well, why not? I like the mildly depressive images they're using on the flip side of...

I've seen one other post about this fuzz and it piqued my interest, so I ordered it. It's a really quick build and a joy to put together. The parts count is pretty low but I did run out of 1uF electrolytics so I used some tantalums instead. It is a cool sounding fuzz. It's even more fun when...

Thanks for the feedback, here's the newest revision. I moved the toggle switches up some, reoriented some resistors and capacitors and have gotten a better copper fill on both front and back.

Agreed, I was working on that after posting this last image. It's a never ending improvement cycle... Good idea, I'll take a look at moving those around and get some more ground plane fill. Nice! I'll definitely see about a bit more refinement in that area. Can you explain this a bit more...

And here is the near final revision. I'm going to make sure the spacing is 2.54mm between pads on top and bottom, create a sweet faceplate then send them off to JLPCB and see what we get. :) And again, if you see anything that looks suspicious, let me know so I can improve it.

Devi Ever was infamous for (re)using blocks in their fuzz designs. The Hyperion is very close to two other fuzzes and the switch (being on/off/on) will let you choose between Hyperion, Ruiner, or Bass Ruiner.

Thanks again! KiCAD is definitely a learning curve from EasyEDA where I used to make my PCBs. I'll probably clean up the routes again cause I'm not super happy with the ground pours and the way Q4 worked out. I'll throw a name on everything along with a revision.. I'm thinking "The Everlasting...

After @z2amiller's feedback, here's the next revision. I also added a pull-down resistor. Once the routing looks good, I'll work on cleaning up the text, etc. Thanks! Keep the critiques coming. :)

After seeing the DOD Grindhaus Fuzz show up in the wish list section and reading up on it and figured I'd make a version of it. I based it off of the Hype Fuzz from FuzzDog, tossed in the Big Muff tone stack (with the ability to bypass), and then the make up boost as seen in the DOD Grindhaus...

Built this from a Guitar PCB Mania PCB since PedalPCB didn't have a board available. It was a straightforward build but it barely fits in a 1590BB. Overall it sounds like the real thing and is a lot of fun to play. I'm giving it a 4/5 cause making it fit in the case is a total pain. Went with a...

This was a rather fun build..I had to order a bunch of 1/8w resistors to do this one (I also built the Schu-tone DM-3 at the same time) and then fiddle with the offboard wiring and toggle switch to get the vibe mod into it. I've been listening to The White Stripes recently so their asthetic...

I'm sure you could and I know AionFX has some suggested values for the readings on the transistors for what they consider spec. However, I generally just go by sound -- if I like the way it sounds, I call it done even if it is a mis-biased. Here's a build report that has a lot of info...

Since I mentioned MKI, here are the suggested specs I have for MKII: TransistorhFELeakage (uA) Q160 - 90< 200 Q270 - 120200 - 400 Q3110 - 170100 - 300

For MkI I've got these notes for hfe ranges: Q1: 55 - 80 Q2: 65-100 Q3: 100-140 Also, replacing Q2's collector resistor (r5) with a trimmer to bias Q2 correctly can help. That said, I'd socket the transistors so you can audition them for the best sound.

Great work! Thanks to Boris I went down a path of purchasing and building a ton of Elk Sustainers and it's one of my favorite Big Muff variants.

Nice build through all the pain. I'd definitely shy away from them but I've built a lot of PCBs from them and only one I couldn't get working well. For the Darkglass stuff, I'd look at AionFX's versions of them. Those do work and are a breeze to put together.
