The trimmer allows you to adjust the intensity of the peak. The peak knob sets the frequency center, turning right of center gives a brighter / higher "quack", left is darker /lower The zone emphasizes the effect of the harmonics from low to high. Peak at 2pm, zone at 4pm gives a perfect...

You don't hear a lot of people talking about the Blues Breaker being an essential pedal, probably because it's lower gain, but it's an absolute beauty of a thing. Just a slightly overdriven tube breaking up sound, it's a perfect pedal to do a bunch of stuff. You can get some John Mayer vibes...

Yeah, I have a footswitch for doing batch jobs (i use it for more than just pedals). So I click it once and it frames each part in red light as seen above. Then I click it again and it starts the engrave . Once the engraving is done, it defaults back to the red light framing, so you can place...

It has a red light preview

I've built two of these for other people recently. The volume pot variance isn't as wide as I would like, but the sound itself is fantastic. Set everything to between 1-2pm and get the perfect "Money for nothing" vibe

I've upgraded to a fiber laser. Best move ever. So much better alignment and detail. Cock Eyed Wah (Park and Ride) I'm just about to post this on the build reports side. The graphics were requested, as was the color. This is the Park and Ride pedal

Update: getting more dialed in

Just remember the depth of field may change slightly when you adjust the Z axis after you put the pedal on the plywood. That's where my issue with my CO2 came from. Everything looked great, but it was still slightly off

I had a Monport K40 that I was using. I couldn't get consistency and the alignment was a pain. Because this is a galvo laser (basically a laser firing at mirrors that direct the beam) rather than a gantry (where the laser is on a rail that goes back and forward), I can position the laser over...

With a diode laser or CO2 it operates on a specific frequency. With Fiber, I have a range of frequencies from 1-600 hz. These pulse frequencies can change the output color, so I can get white, tan, gray, black and in some cases other hues for my output. I just set it up on Sunday, but I'm...

I have a Yihua solder station and reflow gun and I love it. Everyone raves about hakko, and I may look there next time I need one, but this is great for me. Use it daily, holds temperature well, easy to use. Just buy a good set of tips to go with it and you are set

So before with my Co2 laser I could only burn off the paint to leave a the exposed aluminum of the pedal. With this, I can go down the the metal. Alternatively I can actually engrave directly on metal. Or you can do white or dark engrave onto the powder coat. Here's an example of the white...

Affordable means different things to everyone. I've seen good reports on the Commarker b4 20w. They start about $1600, and there's a ton of great tutorials out there. I have the Haotian 30w jpt. I do other stuff with it too. It runs about twice that, but if you only want it for pedal stuff...

I had a k40 style laser for pedal graphics that was just ok. Upgraded to fiber and it's so much faster. Here's a real time test. Still learning to get parameters but love it.

This isn't for a specific pedal, but I guess it's a mod. I'm building a Muroidea distortion. I wanted to run 2 leds in series to make eyes for the rat graphics on the pedal. I usually use a 4k7 clr with one led having a drop of 1k5ish. Do I just assume using 2 leds with a 1k5 drop in series I...

Here you go. You can see the layout is different and there are 8 resistors, there's no 1k resistor (there is in the build doc), there's 2 100k resistors (none in the build doc)

I have a Monport K40. It took me literally 2 months to get it dialed in. Their customer service is non-existant if you need it, and their quality control is mediocre at BEST. If you look at some of my posts, you'll see the faceplates I've engraved with it, so it works really well. But if I was...

I just received a batch of 4 mini-muffin fuzz boards, and the build docs do not match. There are 8 resistors on the board, build doc has 7. The diodes are in a different place on the board (not a big deal, but just to highlight the difference). Do I build to the screen print on the board, or do...

This is my build of the Park and Ride. Little bit of gain and you can get a great position for your Money for nothing intro!! Versatile little pedal indeed.

Ok, so I know that some people hate blank boxes, but I just love the sand texture with the buttons so I didn't want to laser them or add a faceplate. Red knob is the little green scream machine and it sounds very nice. I'd like a bit more grunt on max gain, but still an excellent tube...
