This is a report on my build of Dylan159's Pelota2, using a board from @szukalski. You can find Szukalski's gerber here. I made this pedal about a year ago and thought I'd already posted a build report, then realized it was missing. Here you go! Inspiration With a delay pedal, I wanted to...

This is a report on my build of a Spaceman Saturn V. You can find the gerber here. Inspiration I knew I wanted a retro-futuristic style for this pedal - like a Flash Gordon/Tom Swift or Queens/Seattle World's Fair style. For this batch of pedals I granted myself permission to start using some...

This is a report on my build of Dylan159's "Trembling Satellite," a version of the DIY classic Tremulous Lune. You can find the gerber here. Inspiration Well, this is a pretty obvious one, isn't it? For a circuit based on "Lune," the pedal has to be a "Loon." I always liked loons, although I...

This is a report on my build of the Paul Trombetta Mini-Bone (on PedalPCB as the Trumpeter, but I laid out my own PCB for this build). I saw this in one of the "favorites" threads... and it is now one of my favorites. Inspiration This is one of the most obvious names for a pedal, since I saw...

On occasion, I've seen y'all talking about 3D printing and laser cutting/engraving things. I'm curious if you have any recommendations for either machine. I'm interested in getting into both, but more interested in designing things than in mucking around with getting the machines themselves...

This is a report on my build of the Poison Apple Auto-Wah, based on the Mad Professor Snow White. I wanted to build some pedals that weren't just overdrives and fuzzes, so I picked this up. Inspiration I liked the snow white name of the original pedal and wanted to play on that - and buntings...

I might be selling some spare pedals at a local music store. I've only built pedals so far for my own use, and if they don't work or have a problem, I can always open em up and fix em. The last thing I want is for a pedal I sell to malfunction. I'm wondering if there's any final "touchup" you...

I'm still relatively new to the pedal-building hobby, but RunOffGroove is one of the OG pedal sites, and I wanted to start laying out PCBs for some of their circuits. The Supreaux Deux is really nice. It's reelated to the JHS SuperBolt (based on the Supreaux, not the Deux). If you want to build...

This is my report on a build of the Magnetron Delay, in turn based on the Keeley Magnetic Echo. I saw this recommended in a few places, including the build report from @Erik S. I think this is my favorite PT2399 delay. Inspiration "Magnetron," "Magnetic Echo" - why not the "Magnificent"...

This is my report on a build of the Mid-Fi Clarinot, which I gotta say is one of the most unique analog circuits I think I've heard. It's some combination of delay/envelope filter/fuzz/etc. I saw it recommended on the forum at some point, and what a cool effect. Inspiration I spent a while...

This is my report on a build of the Sabbath Distortion, based on the Catalinbread Sabbra Cadabra. I'm a big fan of Black Sabbath, and this pedal was supposed to have the "Sabbath sound," which I think it does. Inspiration Straight off, I was thinking about metal birds for this pedal. Now...

I'm interested in laying out a PCB for this VCA pedal designed by Dylan159. However, there are two optional jacks. I'm curious what you all think would be the best way to include these as optional. Dylan159 built one of these pedals and it appears he omitted the jacks. It seems like basically...

This is my report on a build of the Kokko Distortion. I built this pedal after @Cybercow requested a PCB layout (he called it the 'Ratstortion'). This is maybe one of my most unusual pedals because it's a clone of a knockoff generic pedal brand (the $15 Temu-type pedals), which Cybercow found to...

This is my report on a build of the PPCB Low Tide Mini, based on the Fairfield Shallow Water. I like Fairfield pedals, and this one was recommended across the forum. It's a great pedal. Inspiration I hadn't done any shorebird pedals, and that was an obvious choice for the "low tide" or...

This is my report on a build of the Skidmark Pedals "Sonofier" boost, a fairly versatile boost pedal. @coltonius shared the build doc on the forums. The gerber is available here. Inspiration I've been trying to cover a lot of the common birds here in the Pacific Northwest, and the Song Sparrow...

This is my report on a build of the Sea Horse, based on the EQD Sea Machine. It's a chorus with a lot of cool options, similar to the Caesar. I feel like this pedal doesn't get much recognition - I'd recommend it! Inspiration I was thinking about distinct waterbirds that I hadn't based any...

This is my report on a build of the Dunwich Amplification Cthulhu Fuzz (the one-knob silicon version). It's a great-sounding doomy fuzz. You can download the gerber here. Inspiration What kind of bird would you associate most with Lovecraft? Perhaps a crow or raven, but I am keeping those...

This is a report on my build of a Rockman Acoustic Guitar Pedal. This was a collaboration with @Cybercow - he traced the circuit and made a few tweaks, while I laid out the PCB. I thought this pedal would be a novelty, but I quite like it! This is also an entry in the Inventory Contest. You can...

This is a report on my build of the PPCB War Scythe, based on the EQD Hoof Reaper. This is one of my favorite pedal designs, and favorite pedals overall. Inspiration I got into pedals around last May, and one of the first pedals that caught my attention was the Hoof Reaper. I think it was...

This is a report on my build of a Marshall Shredmaster pedal. I worked off of the BYOC Shredder build doc when laying out the PCB. This is a nice-sounding, quiet, but gainy overdrive (not a contradiction). You can download the gerber here. Inspiration This was a tough one. I resorted to...
