The distortion plus was the first pedal I successfully made. I used the PPCB board. This is my take on the distortion +. It isn’t exactly what I was hoping for but I’m thinking of it more like a prototype. I will probably play with changing pot tapers and I will also fix the pots that don’t...

Not had a bunch of time to work on things lately but took a day off work and this is one of the things I got done. I actually like this pedal more than I would like to admit. With the additional volume I added I can set one side with no gain and high volume to tighten up the front of a...

Been a bit since I have posted life has been busy and I haven’t done much building. Not so much of a build but a repair and rescue. I have owned this wah since I was a teenager and at some point I poorly converted it to true bypass but it never really worked right. I don’t normally play...

Here is the Whole Hearted V2. It is a dual LM386 based distortion pedal. The artwork is based on drawings my daughter used to do when she was little. The first version of this pedal was my first attempt at modding/designing a circuit. This is updated now that I know a bit more about pedals...

Here is my build of the @PedalBuilder Harmonic Percolator. They helped me with the germaniums for this project as well as my Muffin Factory. The enclosure was designed by @steviejr92. It’s super sturdy and well made. It looks really nice. This pedal sounds great I have only played it into a...

I want to start by thanking @tcpoint for this board and a bunch of the harder to source parts to go with it. I think this pedal came out really well. It looks a lot different than my other build and had a lot of first in it for me. First SMD IC, VFE, soft touch relay switching, Skinny Wima...

I had more planned for this circuit but the mods I had planned I couldn’t find a way I was happy with to implement. That being said I build this mostly to the PS-20 bass specs but did use a few of the guitar resistor values. I’m pretty happy with the sound. I oddly kind of like it into the...

I don’t think I have seen a build report for one of these before. Am I the first? This is a pretty sweet semi parametric. EQ sweepable mids from 300-3300hz + or - 16bd. Switchable from high to low Q. Baxandall bass and treble 15db + or -. Volume control works well good cut to match and...

I think the rat might be my favorite pedal. I want to like all the kooky or fancy pedals but at the end of the day I always go back to the rat. It into a peavy classic 50 was my sound in my 20s. I built a rat with a ton of switching options https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/hella-rats.20070/...

I’m thinking of doing some non standard wiring for my IVP preamp. Can someone who has completed one bridge these 2 connections and see if it is worth while as a setting. What it should do is engage both the clean and tube voices. Sort of like a clean blend setting both clean and tube drive...

This was a straight forward build it worked right off no issues. The C25k was a little hard to source. I ended up ordering a bunch from Ali express, they seem to be ok. So far with the pedal it sounds great but I only played it for 10 or so minutes last night. Kind of reminds me of the...

I find myself crimping JST and Molex type connectors a fair amount. I recently put together some connectors for my EMG pickups and I’m not really happy with the quality of the crimps I get with these inexpensive import ones...

I was gifted this board as well as a VFE dragon, and some parts by @tcpoint . It was very generous and I appreciate it thank you. This is my second @szukalski board but it definitely won’t be my last. For anyone not in the know his boards with the eagle files are here...

This was a straight forward build. I feel like it was more sloppy than most of my pedals. I put on-off-on switches instead of the on-ons its calls for, by mistake. There aren’t any good secret sounds in the middle position but it works fine in the up and down positions. I also messed up on...

This thing is great. I like the added mid control over the standard Thermionic and the tight pot seems like an improvement over the production pedal. Using this into the clean channel of my Marshall DSL effectively gives me 3 channels, clean, chug style rhythm and high gain lead. It’s easy to...

I have the production version of the pedal but seldomly use it. Although the pedal has been fine and has lots of sounds, it has side jacks and I find those to be relatively unacceptable. So I built my own proper version. This has a couple mods the bass control is a B500k pot wired as a...

This is my first build since June. We have had a lot going on with moving, my girlfriend stating her new RN career and just life in general. Building pedals feels good and I’m happy to have the opportunity to do so again. I am enjoying this pedal a lot. I’m using it on the dirty channel of...

I bought this Yamaha RGX 512J on a bit of a whim this summer and got it cleaned up and playing well. For the coil tap it has a push-push style switch on the tone control. I have always found the push pull style coil taps to be hard to use reliably but this one seems super easy. It looks like...

I haven’t been building for a bit as we recently moved and have been busy in general. I’m hoping soon to have my work area up and running again and some time to build. This is my new electric guitar playing area. I think it’s coming along well other than a bit of cables needing organized and...

Can I use a 4PDT switch for the gain control and the following diagram to add a volume control for each of the gain channels on the stockade? My schematic isn’t the best so I will describe it also. The idea is basically to switch to either volume pot like how you would with a 3PDT bypass. My...
