G'day. Been noodling through this design and made it up to the tonestack portion. The preceeding stage has a reasonably high output impedance, and I'm running out of board space. It's a CMOS Muff-ish thing, so I've got 3 preceeding gain stages. A solution I found was using an active BMP...

Finished up a micro overdrive for a friend, and for an extra little bonus I laser marked his band logo onto the front. There is a weird shadow as the scaling got all fucked up while doing the marking, so I need to spend a little bit of time cleaning the enclosure up before I hand it over...

G'day, Bought a couple of cheap grab bags of germaniums out of Eastern Europe from eBay, and was expecting a reasonable rate of failure due to leakage/poor gain - and to my shock, there was only a single bad transistor! I've got: *half a dozen GT402B's (100-150hfe, <150uA of leakage) *handful...

I feel like I am going crazy here. I've used Kicad 5 through 9, and a lot of the PCB editor changes have been particularly frustrating. My newest problem is that no matter what I do, my silkscreen layers disappear under any copper layers making it very hard to see what's going on. PCB created...

Been trying to see when this bad boy is gonna be in stock. Sent off a couple of messages to find an ETA and gotten no reply. Anybody know roughly when they're going to available? Postage to Australia sucks so trying to get a couple of boards together. Cheers!

Howdy, Built a King Nothing. Everything works fine, voltages are spot on (254v on the plate resistors, and 29v heading into the J201), but there's significant amounts of oscillation that decreases as the gain is turned up. Low switch has no impact on the noise, but the left position of the mode...

Howdy, Doing some fundraiser builds for somebody in my extended friends circle dealing with cancer, and the artist doing all the artwork for the builds really enjoys glitchy/super wild sounds (he owns a bass with a pedalboard literally built into it). I suggested we go for a suboctave build...

Had a couple of wah enclosures sitting around that I've been slowly rebuilding for a while. Had a couple of days off over Xmas and finally decided what I wanted to do with one, and I think it turned out pretty well. This was a test to see how laser cut bamboo would work for pedal enclosures...

Had a guy bugging me for weeks about building him a tube preamp/distortion pedal, and to my absolute shock he actually paid once I steered him towards this! Using one of the C2CE PCB's, and a pair of Shuguang 7025s (probably the best new, non-stupidly priced 12A*7 variants I've found). B+ is...

Super simple build report here. Friends son recently found out they're headlining a local festival, and decided to make him something to celebrate. Nothing too fancy, and he likes flames so had to include a couple for good luck. Very straight forward build, ended up just using schottkys instead...

This was....a build. JFET switching didn't work (PCB/schematic error), got sent the wrong impedance tanks, couple of footprints weren't ideal, LED is annoyingly offset by about 2.5mm, but I've almost got the issues fixed and functioning. The tone control doesn't really do....much? I probably...

Pretty straightforward build - very happy I picked up I needed 1/8w resistors before I purchased. Very annoying the SOT-23 adapter boards weren't also black, but you win some and lose some. Built as a gift for a friend who gives up dozens of hours every year to help us running special needs events.

Just finished. Honestly...not really my thing. Doesn't really give you anything that a million other fuzzes don't already do, and probably better (such as gain control). Not a particularly quiet pedal either. Tried a stack of different diodes, and 1N4007s sounded the best to me, although not...

Howdy, I've seen people post about this on FB/Reddit, so figure of all places here it will probably be useful too. While the build docs are pretty good, it is a bit frustrating not having values/quantities immediately available. I figured out an easy workflow to get them. Download the build...

(Yes I'm aware it's just a shipping error, but it is by far the weirdest shipping error I've been a recipient of)

Long story short, I am working on modifications for something and certain knob positions could leave me in a position where I've got a half-wave rectified signal. Logically, I'd expect it to clip half of the waveform off and reduce the other half by the diodes forward voltage, giving a very...

Red resistors are expensive :oops: Still gotta figure out how I'm going to do labels, but pretty happy with how this turned out. Precision Resistive Products 1% 100ppm resistors WIMA FKS2/MKS2 film caps Vishay Automotive MLCC's Würth ACAP Electrolytics Ignore the flux splatter on the board...

Howdy, Planning a Sanguine, and as I hate painting I am going to get Tayda to drill/powder coat. I figure the hole spacings are gonna be in freedom units, so trying to convert over as best as I can. Can somebody please confirm the coordinates I'm using? If I convert the drill guide to a SVG...

Just finished a Parentheses Mini. Boxed up and although it sounds -good-, the octave side is just horrendously, horrendously noisy. PCB was populated with quality components (Nichicon electro's, X7R ceramics, etc), and is built as per the schematic except for a matched pair of BAT41's for the...
