Ooh, I like calling it an eyrie!

What a fun build! This is a report on the 6-band EQ, a generic equalizer (not based on any particular pedal). I selected this build because I want my entire pedalboard to be homemade, and feel like an EQ is a necessity. Also, I wanted to try a build with sliders. Inspiration I struggled to...

@Feral Feline - yep, shortly after posting this and seeing bronomo's response I started socketing most transistors and diodes, whenever they seem to be components people mod. I just use flush cutters with the 40-pack from Tayda, and about half the time part of a socket is exposed at the cut...

An update here: I was reading some other threads and the Mach One kept coming up as a favorite. I tag all my builds in a spreadsheet, including ones that I consider to be "duds" and I couldn't get out of my head that this pedal sounded pretty different from the demos I'd heard. And I don't like...

Just built a Paragon Mini myself, and I agree - it sounds great. I built it with the warm tone mods. I tried a 4558 chip and couldn't hear a difference

The Trumpeter is the most fun that I've had with a pedal in a long time. So brassy! I really like all the options you added - I'll have to add the Moonn breakout board to my next order, very tidy.

This is my report on the Deflector, the PPCB version of the EQD Afterneath Reverb. I built this pedal because a bunch of people had recommended it in threads here. Inspiration I really struggled with inspiration. I think this pedal is best described as a "cave reverb." There's a few birds that...

I haven't built it, but it looks pretty simple. The components are all easy to source on Tayda, but I'd probably just go with a regular 30 cent NJM4558D chip rather than the JRC4558D. You will not need to read schematics at all (unless you mess up), just put the components where the labels say...

A slightly annoying build for a niche pedal. This is my report on the Special Porpoise Fuzz, based on the Catalinbread Antichthon. I got this pedal after looking for weird pedals and finding this video. Inspiration This pedal is most known for the wild animal sounds it makes when the "Gravity"...

Nice, looks great... clean designs!

Wow! That's a really dense build with all those resistors stood up.

Mashes excess wire flat to fit into enclosure "Pleasing uniform curving of the wires" 🤗

This is my build of the Dark Rift Delay, based on the EQD Space Spiral, a modulated delay. A really fun pedal and a fun build. I saw this recommended in one of the various "favorite pedal" threads, and it had a bunch of positive reviews in the store, so I figured "why not?", and I'm glad I did...

Yeah, I was thinking of something like that, but potentially with through-holes like some of the J201 adapters you see. But I see that as Robert said, the form factor may be different. While trying to find the cheapest J201s I started thinking it might make sense to print a bunch and get them...

Any recommendations for cheap SMD to DIP adapters that could be used for PT2399? I feel like there's probably something out there but the search term seems to be eluding me. Or perhaps it would be worth ordering a sheet of custom scored PCBs just for this kind of thing?

Wow, thanks so much for the thorough reply! The transistor sub cheat sheet is great - saving that for later. I ended up ordering a few different kinds of NPN germanium transistors on Ebay (MP11, MP37B, MP38, MP38A), I'll see how they work in a few weeks... There's something weird about the...

So I've had a War Scythe PCB sitting in my to-build pile for a while now, taunting me, as I bang my head against the wall figuring out the transistors. I have a few questions, details below: 1. Could I just swap the 2N1308 for MPSA13, but keep the rest of the build un-Clefted? Or does the...

My current go-to for a warm, full-sounding medium overdrive is the Sugarbag (Beet tonics Fat Bee).

Thanks, keyth. I have not noticed noise as a particular problem. I saw the update about the op-amp but since I'd already placed my more exotic orders and didn't feel it was a problem, I kept using the TL074. I'll include the new op-amp in my next digikey/mouser order, whenever that is - I get...

This is my build of the Funbox, a DSP pedal from @keyth72. This is an amazing pedal and I'd highly recommend building one, although it's moderately challenging. After doing a bunch of builds, including FV-1 builds, and reading about some of the more modern pedals (Chase Bliss/Strymon), I...
