My first vero project was a Phat Phuk B and I have really enjoyed that pedal for my hint of grit tones. With the bias backed off its pretty clean so it's also very nice as a boost that adds a fair amount of coloring to the sound. It's designed more to be a grimey bass booster than a real dirt...

First thing, I gotta acknowledge that this is a spite build. Spite aside, I kinda don't hate it. Well... more accurately the things I dislike were fully known to me going in to it. I'm not big on clean blended fuzz so the constant presence of clean signal isn't my jam but it is a good sounding...

It's time again to adorn the clown makeup, a comp hater built yet another comp. Thankfully it's awesome. I was resistant to building this until Robert got the chips in the store. I had seen a few folks mention it as being particularly nice on bass so I did a little digging around on talkbass. I...

My Nobelium has been my go to pre for a while now and I did not build this with the intent to replace it. I look at the nobelium as a platform for my pedals while I probably won't be attaching the Steddi to a board. Maybe a mini rig in the future but my goal is for a more minimalist recording...

This combination of Moonn projects isn't so much about two circuits that needed to be paired up, rather the Try Hard could be added to any other dirt box for some fun times. It's an LDR controlled filter so your highs disappear entirely unless you're in a well lit room. This means it's not...

This is the 4th iteration of the ocelot that I've built. I use only the oct1 voice, no oct2 or dry but find my stock build with this setting too quiet for live use (just like my mid 90's boss OC-2). Most of the methods I tried to increase the volume were flawed, introducing noise and/or...

One of my closest friends told me he had found his favorite dirt sound which was a stack of a Lightspeed into a Blues Breaker. He said "it nails the Neil Young thing." I figured he'd be more likely to use that sound if it only took up one space on his board. No mods, just the two stock circuits...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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! 😺...
