I always forget about this one. Seems the Fuzz Factory is more popular as a 5-knob fuzz. Not sure how accurate this schematic is, though…

When I was young (20 years ago, or so), I got into The Doors. At the time (Sophomore) I thought that I was into some proper adult/mature music. As a result, I became a fan of the tones of Robby Krieger, especially his fuzz tone. For ages I was under the assumption that he used a Maestro...

How much distortion should there be?...

I get the filter, but no phase. The LED blinks, but it doesn’t seem to affect the tone. However…if I have it plugged in and on, and I move my finger towards the LED, or the TL072 just above, I can create the phase effect. It sounds great if I stand there and move my finger to and away from the...

Edit: a bit a heavy Googling, and I learned that the two trim pots in a Phase II control the brightness of the LED, and the sweep. With that being the case, this thread has turned into a troubleshoot thread … https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/phase-ii-no-work-right….11474/

The Basic Audio stuff is really something. Simple and unique. This would be a great addition to the 3 or 4 pcbs already available.

This one showed up today, and was the only thing on hand that I could build without placing a parts order…or so I thought. A bit of background: I first discovered the Os Mutantes circuit last Summer sometime. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and I was super excited to see the Basic Audio variant...

Is it possible decrease the delay of a PT2399 chip based delay? Could I get it down to like 10ms? 5ms?

I got this pcb off of someone around here several months ago. The MadBeanPedals 'Sawse' is a DOD 440 Envelope Filter. It was a pretty simple build...surprisingly uneventful, actually. The pedal sounds just as it should. Its a subtle effect, but not really. I really like it. I added a single...

I had requested something like this before, but not with the new Wishlist format. I would like to request some classic/first gen compressors: Orange Squeezer, Dyna-Comp, Ross Compressor. Somethings that’s pretty straightforward, and simple…

Here are my two newest Big Muff builds. On the left is the PedalPCB "Mask Us" version of the BMP, with a mids boost mod. On the right is a BMP Triangle/Elk Sustainar. I always use octagon enclosures for Big Muffs. And with all of the space inside, I always try and add additional features...

Working on a Mascis Muff build, and I’m double-checking resistor values (the circuit has very low output). I’ve gone through twice and not seen anything off. Can anyone give this a once over to double-check me/prove me wrong?…

I have a project that includes two different sets of components that I switch between with an on/on toggle. As I transfer the project from breadboard to enclosure, I want to convert that toggle to a footswitch. It’s as simple as center row: in, top/bottom rows: out, correct. I know that is true...

What should I look for, measurement-wise, for Q1 (2n5457)? Does it matter?

I am currently working on a build that calls for a bi-color LED. I cannot seem to get the LED to light, however. I installed the LED correctly, and the pedal works with a traditional (and boring) standard LED...but not when I put the bi-color one in. Am I missing something? Is there some special...

For most of my guitar playing career, I have always loved the Italian made 1966 Vox ToneBender. I only realized that recently, however. Robby Krieger's fuzz tones are some of my favorite fuzz tones ever. I always assumed what I read was true: that he played a Maestro, a MK II ToneBender when in...

I built this pedal in August, but had to wait to post a build report. My wife likes bats (flying foxes, specifically), and she wanted to paint a bat on this pedal...because when I told her what it was, she thought I said "Bat." It has an LM308 (precious) chip in it currently. I've tried all...

Hey. A few weeks ago, I build the Sandspur (Silicone Sunface). The first pedal I ever build was a Twin Face. Now, I've never been a 'Fuzz Face Guy," but the Ge side of the Twin Face was a great experience. The Si side...meh. Well, it sizzled...like bacon on Sunday morning. As temperamental as...

Wasn’t there a PCB for this in the works? I can’t find any mention of it anymore.

I got my last (literally) Small Bear order today. I ordered all kinds of stuff, specifically, a footswitch enclosure. I ordered a drilled enclosure (3 holes). I received a non-drilled enclosure (no wonder they are closing…) No worries. Any tips on drilling through steel? I’ve done it once...
