Sweet sweet sounding tremolo Initially I left the IC pin 6 connected and thought it sounded fine, but after playing around for a bit I noticed the dreaded distortion. Since the pic was taken I took pin 6 out and played around with the trimmer some more and now it sounds fine (I also reflowed the...

I built an Aion Minima and it brings the envelope filter goodness but it has a noticeable volume bump, so much that depending on pick attack it can even distort and drive harder the pedals down the chain This is the schematic: I noticed that @bean has added a 500k trim on the input in his...

What a great sounding pedal! I love the raw fuzziness with gain up, and the dirty drive you get when lowering the sustain Green themed pedal in honour of the green PCB, the decal is inkjet printer on sticker paper, with a couple of automotive clear coat. I'm liking this method as it's easier...

bit of a raw drawing but here's my idea any obvious fault in this? except for the danger of plugging it where it shouldn't be plugged, of course

Oh my what a fuzz! I love starving the bias and getting a nasty fuzzy overdrive For the artwork I used "regular" names for the controls and went for a vintage DOD look, but it's a dud... One of my best looking waterslides so far

My first vero build is a slightly modded KMA Fuzzly Bear. I used a 250kA pot for the Sag control (idea stolen from @bean Fuzzy Britches) giving the pedal many more sounds, from super fuzzy, through a very prominent octave down, to gated-almost-non-working. I love it! I had to use some parallel...

Hi guys I'm working on a noise box for my drummer. The idea is a Moon Cyberpunk (atari punk console) into an overdrive, into a simple delay capable of oscillating (a Crap Fi delay), with the option of switching the input of the drive/delay section with a jack in, to be able to put maybe a...

Please ignore the white washer that hides the too big and off center hole for the footswitch... Great little tone sweetener, I've mostly used it on the end of my effects chain and it's one of those effects you only notice when you turn it off. Not a lot of boost but great tone shaping I botched...

My first PPCB build is my first build report I've had the Chop Shop on my board since solving a couple of problems as documented here: I had to rebias it a couple of time to get rid of squealing with high gain+sag, maybe because of the through hole J201s, and I had to add a pulldown resistor to...

I installed a momentary SPST footswitch in my Cataclysm build, following the advice in this thread, adding a 25k trimpot. Not noticing that the Magnetron "feedback" pot is 100k, while the Cataclysm "repeats" is a 5k pot, so the oscillation switch only works when the trimpot is almost all fully...

My bandmate has a Music Man with active pickups, and from what I've heard it's pretty picky when it comes to fuzzes. Do you guys have suggestions? I was thinking maybe a Cream Pie or a Kewpie, but not opposed to some more fancy stuff

I built a Copper Clad fuzz and I have to say I'm a bit underwhelmed by the sound, not very "fuzzy" I'm thinking maybe I installed the germanium diode in the wrong way: I thought the blue line was the cathode but reading a bit (like here...

I built a Moon Good Vibes following the good feedback here, but I found it doesn't "vibe" very much except for the last 25% of the depth knob, and also it starts to make a hissing noise that goes with the vibe. I've already reflowed the board, can't see anything blatantly wrong given the low...

I was trying to desolder components from my old Speaker Cranker perfboard build and I broke the 1n4001 polarity protection diode in half I only have 1n914s at the moment, can I use one of those? Or can I just jumper it since I will be using it with my power supply?

My crappy multimeter only goes up to 2000k so I can't test if these are actually 2.2m resistors Is the colour code correct?

Hi all First PPCB build, the lovely Chop Shop. Biased the J201 without problems thanks to the threads in here, sounds great, boxed it up and it pops quite loudly when pushing the 3pdt. Anything obvious that I'm missing? R1 should be the pull down resistor right? Looks fine to me

Hi all, I know this is a PCB from a (not even particularly liked) competitor, but I've been lurking this community for some time and I figured it's the right place to try asking. I wanted to order a couple of PPCB kits from Musikding but they were out of stock so I went for the PedalPCB...
