    Fuzz Foundry Deluxe

    I've built a few versions of this circuit including the "Fat" one with a single toggle for the fat setting. I'm not sure how that compares to the fat control on this thing. I don't know if this gets any fatter but I'm really enjoying the additional versatility here. Somehow the most subtle...

    Flock harmonizing fuzz

    Happy Halloween y'all! I've been looking at this orange and black enclosure from sbp on my parts shelf for a full year thinking "eh it's not Halloween right now" every time I need a bbs/bb2 so I really was motivated to finish this one up today. I think the Flock happens to make Halloween...

    Nutty Fuzz

    I've now built 3 versions of the Escobedo Ugly Face - the 4 knob from Moonn, the one with lfo control from DEFX and now this nutty thing. The expression control along with 125b footprint makes this my favorite by far. They're all tonally similar but the blend lends to tamer, more useable tones...

    51r....

    Hey @vigilante398 I forgot to order this value for my steddi. I have in hand: 51r 1/8w 53r 1/4w 47r 1/4w Do I go over or under? I don't want to just assume it's audio path and the 1/8 watt will be fine.

    DEFX Sputter

    Here we have a clone of the Last Gasp Art Laboratories Ripplet. I really enjoy the weirdness of LAL circuits in general but this one's my favorite so far. It's simply a tremolo whose speed is determined by the intensity of your playing. What's more interesting is that you can dig in and...

    Zonk

    Early in my pedal building journey, when I was still buying the occasional kit, I bought a ppcb zonk kit from musikding. I had no transistor stash, no testing equipment other than a terrible radio shack brand multimeter. I was curious about the zonky and had just enough experience to know it was...

    Moonn Creep (eqd Tone Reaper)

    I'm pretty sure this was a freebie because I don't remember ordering it and I'm not a huge eqd guy. I did happen to grab a single AC176 when ordering some other things so I socketed just in case I received a dud but it sounded great right away. I didn't feel the need to investigate any further...

    Nein

    I was already a big fan of fairfield inspired circuits being a frequent user of the chopshop, lowtide, and desolate fuzz. I figured this wouldn't suck and I was quite correct. The desolate lacks a little low end, even though I greatly enjoy the sounds it makes with bass. This Nein fuzz doesn't...

    Expresso

    Got this one placed in its pretty little lms box today. Utility pedals are rarely this exciting. I've used two expression pedals for a few years, one for my EHX H.O.G. and more recently adding an electric druid filter fx. I like that not only have I eliminated an entire large object from my...

    PPCB Capsize

    I'm fairly committed to building all the bass related circuits that I can find. One should appreciate every bone they're thrown. This's one I was especially excited about because: 1. my frequency interchange is excellent 2. the flip top vibe is way up my alley 3. I've never seen one of these in...

    PPCB Fumble (spite edition)

    I wasn't planning to build one of these as I'm among those who suffer from "Scott Derangement Syndrome" but I have a buddy who might've otherwise ordered a "NÔTABŮMBLẸ" so I had to intervene. He already had a zendrive and the redundancy would've bummed me out. I only needed to order the jfet and...

    Moonn Goldfever (DBA Germanium Filter)

    As always I'm coming at these things from a mostly bass perspective and unfortunately this one doesn't win my full endorsement. It's full of character as expected but not enough oomph to be used on its own with bass for me. This is only a little disappointing because I found some bass players...

    Capybara (8bitar/byoc lil mouse)

    So, first thing, I forgot to get a gut shot but there's not much to look at inside. It's just a Parasit 8-bitar and a BYOC Lil mouse boxed together in that order. The only mod is the clipping switch, I'm pretty sure I learned about this mod from an old post by @Feral Feline so thanks for that! 😺...

    NBD - Frankenpeavey

    New bass day has arrived and it's been a long time coming. I found this peavey t40 body and Mexican jbass neck online for super cheap over a year ago and have been slowly collecting the rest of the parts. My first bass was a Mexican J and when I dropped it in highschool breaking 2 tuners, I had...

    PPCB Trademark

    This thing was yet another blunder free effort. Hardest part was choosing a germ since I had a few that sounded good. I got ahold of a 2sd352 but I think the hfe was a little high so I ended up going with an AC127 that was closer to the right spec. Sounded much better. This fuzz is pretty...

    PPCB Deaf Boyardee

    This one's pretty interesting. I admittedly have been fairly underwhelmed with my DBA related builds. My favorite was the dirty verb and I hate verb. I also enjoy the robot but it's so over the top abrasive, it's not exactly useful. This little fuzz is a nice amount of weird while still sounding...

    Moonn Cuddles

    Bass oriented pedal builderfolk have been blessed by many of the vendors recently and it is greatly appreciated. This one's a take on the Dwarfcraft Big Distortion Sound Machine their first original pedal using Devi Ever circuits after their weird little merger. It's a parallel fuzz where one...

    DEMO Octaking

    Crambo strikes again! This is yet another pedal that I hadn't heard of until it was mentioned in the forum. The build was smooth, no hiccups. I'm digging it so far. One can coax a fairly broad range of sounds out of it from green ringerish to fuzzy octave goodness, though it doesn't get quite...

    PPCB Pastel

    First thing, I usually do a 🌈 motif on anything Joshy related but since it's inspired by the crayon (which is a baby color box) I decided to keep it simple. I do wish I'd chosen a darker red paint for the labeling but at least it's legible. This thing is strange. I knew what I was getting in...

    Darkadiator rate mod?

    I recently built up a parasit darkadiator and it's a lot of fun but I feel like the lfo is kind of slow. Anyone have any suggestions for a mod to get either a broader range or at least skootch the existing range up a bit? This feels like something @DGWVI would've already done at some point but I...
