    Best alternative for RC4559P IC?

    I didn’t see this anywhere in the search box. I’m working on the Cast Iron Overdrive which calls for 2 RC4559P IC’s. Stompboxparts only has 1 in stock and you have to buy 5 anyways. What would be the closest alternative? Anyone built this pedal using something different? Thanks in advance.

    Why does nobody use these outtie DC jacks?

    https://lovemyswitches.com/cliff-switched-2-1mm-dc-power-jack-outtie/ Atleast I haven’t seen anyone use except Skreddy in the past. Not sure if he still uses them. Seems to me that these would be more practical than the standard thin line that require 100lbs of pressure to insert the plug...

    ChuckDBones Quicklime Girl board by SheepyLove

    Redemption! First time I built this little circuit something went wrong and I couldn’t even reach unity gain! Now I can shake the whole damn house! Versatile little boost with tons of output. You can run it as a dirty Electra or a clean SHO. Not sure where this will be going in the chain yet...

    Cadmium Fuzz (Danelectro Nichols ‘66)

    This is the last of my “exotic” enclosure colors so to speak. It’s the Cosmic Lilac from Stompboxparts. This is the Cadmium Fuzz/Distortion based of the Danelectro Nichols ‘66. They really released a group a cool pedals and this one is no exception. It has a little bit of everything. Fuzz...

    PPCB Utisol (Dawner Prince Red Rox)

    Wow talk about a sleeper for a distortion pedal! This baby will rock! This was a difficult build for me because the board is so small and the parts are so close together. It really showed me how poor my soldering skills were! I’ve got to get better. I used a repurposed enclosure from...

    Useful diode comparison tool

    Please move this if it’s in the wrong location but u came across this site that lets you choose, compare, cross reference and much more diodes of many different types. Even lets you mix and match and plots the outcome out on a graph. Could be very useful...

    Sheepy Love (Blue Fish) Menatone Blue Collar

    Another great Od from Sheepy and very easy to build. This one really reminds me of the Red Snapper. I’ve never played the Blue Collar but the Presence knob can give it an extra bite. Highly recommended if you get a chance to build this one. My second time using buss wire to connect the main...

    PPCB Candid Drive ( Barber Direct Drive)

    So after shooting myself in the foot far too many times than I care to admit, including ordering the wrong size knobs, I’m relieved and happy to have this one purring!! I’m not sure where my mind was on this one. Not my best work but man was a great sounding Marshall style pedal. Plenty of...

    Substitution for 1N5817

    I’m working on a pcb and one of the holes for the 1N5817 is physically smaller in size than the others and the damn leg just will not fit in the hole. Is there a substitute part I could use that maybe has thinner legs? What would happen if I didn’t use it? Would the pedal still work?

    Pelota Delay demo?

    Anyone aware of a demo for the Pelota delay? I could’ve sworn I’d seen one on here somewhere but can’t find it now. Thanks in advance.

    Sheepy Love (Frizzler) Distortion

    Just finished this one up and to be honest I’m in shock that it works lol. This was probably my most challenging build. It was one of those that just seemed like I felt like my soldering wasn’t flowing. Got to where I install the switch and there wasn’t enough distance to use a ribbon cable so I...

    PPCB Dung Beetle (Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe)

    Just finished this one up and very glad I decided to do this project. This is a great and versatile fuzz that can do a little distortion as well. Pedal was a breeze to put together thanks to @Robert clean layout. Highly recommended for anyone. Enclosure is SBP Weston Gray with some aged knobs I...

    PPCB Jackpot Od (Mr. Black JDS-50)

    I bought this easy project during the sale to help prevent my “ build 2 working projects and then a paperweight project”…well I succeeded but should’ve went with the Thunderclaw or atleast looked at the schematic. Seems like I remember a time seeing a demo for this and really liking it. Don’t...

    Sheepy Love (The Grift) Jan Ray

    Finally after populating pcbs and not having all the correct parts and even completely screwing up my Golden Falk build I managed to complete one and it feels great! This is Sheepy Loves take on the Vemuram Jan Ray I believe with some mods by Chuckd. I’d never played a Jan Ray before but have...

    Sheepy Love Old Fashioned (Animal pedals Major Overdrive)

    Being derived from a Skreddy circuit I had to build it and I’m glad I did! This thing rocks! I think I like it more than the Diamond Peak. To me it’s more amp like. Doesn’t have as much gain but that could be down to transistor choice and biasing of the Diamond Peak. Great touch response and...

    Quicklime Girl below unity output

    So I finished this up and I’m getting below unity gain with all knobs maxed. Seems like the only know that does anything is the Drive, top left knob, while the others don’t seem to do anything. At first I accidentally had a 100n C5 (1uf) location. Thinking that was the solution I replaced it but...

    PPCB Carmine Od (EQD Crimson Od)

    Finished this one up tonight. Pretty straight forward build and good sounding od. Very creamy with gobs of sustain. I figured it may have more gain though. I used the highest hfe (100) NPN Germanium I had which was an ASY29. Also has low leakage. For diodes just some old 1N34A the build report...

    PPCB Blue Yonder (Greer Mizuki Blue

    I got this buttoned up finally and think I have it biased right. Have it right at 4.6 for both trimmers. The short time I did spend with it it didn’t come alive until about 2 on the gain dial. However depending on how I use it I may be cranking the master more and using it as a post boost rather...

    Sam Ash Astrotone Fuzz PCB?

    Anyone know if a PCB exists for this? Amans version sounds killer.

    Skreddy Hybrid Fuzz Driver

    Finally finished up my build on the hybrid fuzz driver using the fuzz aldrin board and chucks part replacement list. Actually a pretty easy build but I did encounter some small issues that I had dealt with before so it took me a little longer than expected. Pedal rock though and is quiet for a...
