Been a bit since I posted any builds. Here’s a Mahayana drive I did for someone. Pretty straight forward build and it fit nicely in the Tayda/Ppcb pre-drilled enclosure that I bought for the first time. I will definitely go this route from now on if I can. Second one is a Pro-10-blue side. I...

Anyone know when 1776 effects store may be opened back up? Thanks in advance!

Built this for someone. Got a few more connections to make. Mounted transformer off of the pcb so I could fit everything into a 1590BB. Used some veroboard for better transformer connections and mounting. It sits nicely on a piece of foam in between the stomps. A little extra work and time but...

A few of my recent builds. I’m diggin the black on black look with the sand textured enclosures. Just looks clean to me. Simulcast, Paragon, and a couple Kliche’s. Sorry, didn’t get gut shots of everything.

Trying to find out what transistor gain and leakage requirements are for this pedal since the originals are not obtainable. Also, has anybody subbed in any BC183 silicone transistors? Wondering if it will work. Thanks in advance!

Will this pedal operate at 9V by just yanking the charge pump ic (with no modifications)?

I’m focusing my attention on a Tele build these days but managed to squeeze these 2 in. Nothing fancy but I’m pretty happy with the final results. I usually don’t mess with a battery option but I added it into these 2. I did a lot of socketing on the Paragon and hardwired the stomps.

Just finished my first Paragon. Built a couple KoT clones before but with different pcbs. Overall cool pedal, still got some minor switch popping happening but it’s tolerable for now. If anybody’s bored here are 2 vids I shot. One with both sides in soft clip mode and the other with both in...

I’m trying to consolidate information from past threads regarding the topic of that annoying popping noise you sometimes get when engaging a pedal. Here are the main possible causes and fixes that I gathered so far: -Faulty/dry solder joints at 3PDT Fix: Reflow solder joints on 3PDT -Lack of...

Just wondering what the function of the transformer is in this circuit. I got one where stage 1 is working but when high gain is kicked on there is no volume until you turn stage 2 volume almost all the way up. I’m just hoping its the pot and not the transformer cuz its gonna be a b*^•th to get...

Anybody do the high gain mod on one of these? From what I see the mod only requires the replacement of 1 resistor.

Been a while since I posted any of my builds so here is my most recent batch. From the top left and going clockwise: -Duocast -Break Action/JHS Double Barrel -Pauper/Prince of Tone -Constrictor/Demeter Compulator- My favorite compressor. -Seabed Delay/MP Deep Blue Delay -Glory Hole/JHS Morning...

So I accidentally bought those super bright LEDs. I used a 39k resistor to tone it down to where I like it. Thats a pretty high value, any long term issues with doing this? Thanks in advance!

Built this today, pedal is really cool! One thing I noticed though is that it takes a couple seconds for my signal to kick in when I switch from 27v to 9v. No delay when going from 9v to 27v though. Anybody else notice that? Its not really gonna affect much, because I’ll never switch from 27v...

A couple of my recents- First is the XB-MB Preamp. Just built it today so I haven’t had alot of time with it yet. It does sound good so far and has some serious boost power. I like the midrange function as well! Second is the General Tso or Fat General. Killer compressor, I highly recommend...

Does anybody have a schematic they can share for the earlier version of PPCB’s Tommy?

Hello, building the General Tso and wanted to make sure that the 2 LDR’s arent polarized before I install them. They are the Tayda version 5mm LDRs. Much appreciated!

Here is my contribution to the recent electrical box pedal builds...I couldn’t help myself!! It’s and SHO boost clone, one of my favorites! I’m diggin the way it came out, but gonna replace the chicken head with one of those large flying saucer knobs. Best part is that the enclosure cost me...

In purchased some 2N5457s on Ebay and compared em to some I had from Small Bear. Using my cheapie component tester it reads- Small Bear reading: NJFET and gives me a “I” and “Vgs” reading Ebay reading: NPN and gives me a “hfe” and “Uf” reading Im thinkin I got fakes, or am I missing something...

Just finished this build, used the D9E’s. Simple and too the point as usual for my builds. On this build I decided to use my fancy new component tester and checked tolerances on every part before I installed them. Amazing the amount of caps I had that were out of tolerance. Worthwhile decision...
