Hey everyone I came across this video below thich sounds pretty cool. It's for a TC Electronic Tailspin but I'm pretty sure that is a clone of the Boss VB-2. Does anyone know how I can achieve the mod in the attached video and apply this to the VIIB? Specifically I'm interested in the train...

Hey everyone I’m about to build the peddling tremolo but tayda is out of the recommended ldrs. Can I use one of the ldrs tayda does have which is the 5528 at the moment? I know they will work but I’m looking for maximum swoosh. Alternatively I am about to do a mouser order. Will one available...

Hey everyone I have been reading about the Escobedo Ugly Face. I really like some of the weird sounds that this thing can make, but i'm not really into the LMN386 fuzz circuit. Is it possible to add the Ugly Face envelope section to any other fuzz/distortion pedal of my choosing? Looking at...

Hi everyone. I just wanted to know if anyone has ordered the Glossy clear from tayda? I know there is a picture but I’m sure it doesn’t do it justice. Is it just a bare enclosure with clear coat over the top? If anyone has a picture they can show me that would be appreciated

Hello As the heading says, I was planning on building a Boss PH-1 and wanted to know if they type of JFET was essential. Aion FX says to use 2SK30A but note that 2n5457 is the same. So could I simply use matched 2n5457s here or even J201s? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone I need more envelope filters in my life so I thought I might make an EHX Q-Tron. I found the schematic below, but here they simply list "opto" as the vactrols/optocouplers. https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?t=6849 I was wondering if anyone kew what would be a good...

Hey everyone. I bought some of these led bezels lined below to try out but I’m having trouble getting them to work right. https://www.taydaelectronics.com/5mm-bezel-led-panel-mounting-clip.html Either they are too loose and the LEDs wiggle around or they are just too tight and I damage the...

Hey team I recently built a Curds and Whey (Crowther Prunes and Custard) that I really like. To my ears this is a mediocre overdrive pedal with an amazingly weird gain stage. This has me thinking, can I add the gain stage to a better overdrive pedal? If I start with something like a Timmy...

Hello everybody. I built a hyped fuzz and think it’s great. At least one on the fuzz modes is fantastic. I’m not sure which is which but the s cons fuzz mode de is really muffled. It sounds like someone is playing in another room and the bass/treble pots don’t help much. Has anyone experienced...

Hello everyone. I’ve been building a lot of chorus pedals lately and most seem to have a rate led which I like. This has me thinking whether a rate led is possible on the Viib? I built one of these a while ago and love it but would like to add a rate led. Does anyone know how I could do this...

Hey everyone I finally put together my Curds and Whey (Prunes and Custard clone) and this thing is amazing. An instant favourite. Sounds equally good on bass and guitar too. I've had this thing sitting around for ages and I'm not sure why I bought it actually - but I'm so glad I did. With the...

Hey everyone I'm thinking of making a Simulcast/Duocast but I don't have any germanium transistors and I have a couple of quesitons: Can I use a PNP silicon transistor in place of the germanium one? If no to above, can I modify the PCB to accept NPN transistors in q2? Schematic is here I've...

Hey I've been working on a Tube Screamer circuit with all of the mods. I posted about it on this thread but I have clearly bitten off more than I can chew. I have put it together and it passes signal so that's a win, however there is no gain. With an audio probe I have tracked the problem to...

Hi everyone. I’m hoping to make a gonkulator but I need to find an mc1496. I see a few on eBay but I have been burned before. If anyone knows a reputable seller with this that would be awesome. Preferably through home but smd is ok. I see banzai has it but it’s about $50 shipping to...

Hey everyone I asked a similar question regarding Blues Breaker mods and got some great suggestions. I eventually made an amazing double Blues Breaker clone that I really should post here... ....anyway, I'd like to make a Tubescreamer circuit with ALL OF THE MODS. I want to make a PCB that I...

Hey everyone. Since there doesn't seem to be a PCB available for the DOD FX22 (Vibro Thang) I thought I'd try my hand at putting one together myself. I found a pdf for the schematic here, but I have also attached a screen shot. My question is: If I were to make a true bypass clone of this...

Hey everyone. I wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were with fuzz face type circuits and buffers before them. Is it a good idea to add one and what will it do? I had the idea when reading the thread about the Pestle Distortion/EQD Zoar which I understand to be a FF but with a JFET buffer...

Hey everyone. My amp is way too loud and the family are complaining. I'm looking for an option to reduce the volume in my Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue. I know it has an effects loop. JHS has the little black box that claims I can chuck it here in the effects loop and I can reduce the volume but...

Hey everyone. I have put together this modified version of the Mif-fi Clari(not) but I seem to be having issues with the tracking on the LFO/LED. Everything seems to work as it should, however the LED only lights up when the 1k tracking pot is fully counter clockwise. The LED will not light up...

Hi everyone. I’m looking to buy some parts for an electrovibe (bulb and ldrs) and I’m trying to think of things to buy so that I can get free shipping. I need to spend $60 AUD for free shipping. What does everyone usually buy from Digikey? I find the search engine do difficult. I have a few...
