    Zaphod - Mach 1 Overdrive on Southern Belle, 1590B Top Jacks

    Did a Mach 1 build on the Southern Belle PCB, 1590B with top jacks Had the idea for these graphics for a while and finally an excuse came up. A nod to Hitchhiker's but mainly just going for the vibe of a 1980s scifi paperback that was left in the sun Made a few subs - - 1M drive for MOAR...

    Space-saving mini-board Franken-thing

    I need to make a mini board so I put a few Fuzz Dog PCBs into one enclosure to save space It goes: -> FX-10 -> Blue Boo Boost (Have Blue) -> Analog-like Echo aka Faux-analog Echo aka PT2399 delay with unfeasibly complicated filtering The FX-10 is my always on. Instead of getting rid of...

    Blender

    Full wave rectified Fender oddball faithfully reproduced. If it sounds like it's broken it probably isn't. Absolutely disgusting Soviet D9J diodes Graphics-wise I can never resist a cheap pun. My bad humour remains unimpeded

    Cyborg Drive / CD5 Cyberdrive

    Never done a cheesy "the clipping LEDs are the eyes" build before and it's kind of the law so I took the opportunity Really into filters and stuff so this is right up my alley Nice easy build, super clean layout, sounds great The Metal control sets the distortion and and Cyber is the filter...

    Can someone pls check my power filtering

    Think this okay but a second opinion would be nice as there's some guess work on my part I've got a very squeal-y circuit and I want to isolate the transistor section (VA) from the op amp section (VB and VR) R1 = 100r R2 = 33r R3 and R4 are 10k for VREF voltage divider There's pads under the...

    Joined the Duophase club

    This one's a blast from the past, we're going all the way back to the year TL072 Was easier than anticipated, it looks daunting but really it's just building two normal phasers at once, a "duo phase" if you will I'm about 80% happy with the graphics and 100% happy with the name

    Waddle Box / Quack Box

    Tayda enclosures arrived a early so I boxed a third circuit up today It's the first time I've got anything printed so still learning/experimenting It's a great circuit and an easy build. The vowel emphasis is more OW OW than WA WA and I'm sure I can find some unconventional uses for it. It...

    Spirit Box / Otter's Pocket

    A second build finished up this morning - it's the Sprit Box / Ghost Echo with a few mods I used a short brick because when combined with a pre-delay it helps to keep the tail out of the way of your playing. This means you can have more of the sound without it turning everything to mush. I find...

    Cattle Driver

    Decided to build one of these cos I have a stash of salvaged RCA LM301AH from an eBay seller. Looks like they've been desoldered from some vintage equipment It's a great sounding overdrive, the bass and treble controls are well designed and it has a nice growly midrange, some real attitude...

    OPA4134 - what should I build?

    Got one of these bad boys lying around and I don't know what to build with it - any recommendations? I tried it with a Belton Brick but the hiss was murder - I put that down to the extended frequency response

    Equilux Mini and Swarm

    Finished these up. Pre-drilled enclosures from Tayda, then waterslide decals and clear coat Had a bit of trouble with the Swarm - ordered a CD40174BE instead of a CD4017BE. Don't do that lol. Assembly was very easy with header pins The name is a play on circle of fifths. The sounds this thing...

    SOLVED Acrobat - filter section not working

    Wonder if anyone can help My Acrobat is passing signal and the distortion works, but I have no action on the filter section Turning the 'height' control to the right attenuates the output The 'bandwidth' control is seemingly inactive The 'freq' control might be doing a little something but...

    Diptrace/PCB design first attempt - sanity check

    Hello forum, this is my first go at Diptrace/PCB design. I'd appreciate a sanity check My objective is to use a pile of low gain (30-50 hfe) Russian PNP germanium transistors I picked up The EQD Dream Crusher circuit is designed around low gain NPNs, so I started there and added a voltage...

    Parentheses Mini - bass control hack

    Background I love the Parentheses Mini (aka Life), but bringing the octave in makes it too harsh and trebly for me, so I've been experimenting with different ways to compensate I tried a few Reutz type mods with some success, but after coming across @Chuck D. Bones ' excellent bass mod for the...

    SOLVED Octanaut - please help!

    So I'm completely stumped by this I've got an Octanaut build and everything is working except Q4 I've been through the circuit with an audio probe and there's no gain on Q4 at all. I can remove Q4 from the socket and the sound doesn't change. There is gain on Q1, that's fine. It sounds great...

    Blue Shoe Gai Pan - Musikding Kit Build

    Put this together yesterday, a quick and dirty kit build from Musikding It came with 3x spanking new J201s which I was pleased about. I have socketed them for future generations I had a little trouble with some solder that got stuck in one of the eyelets. Instead of taking a break I kept going...

    Muzzle

    Came back to this. Cleaned it up inside and redid the graphics. It'll be going on my board soon. The ghost was drawn for me by Midjourney AI

    Thunder Chicken -> Unison

    Finally finished this I think I'll change the knobs so they're all the same on the left and the right. The mini ones on the left and the silver capped ones on the right I only ever use these two effects together so I thought I'd make a big box with both and tidy my board a bit I have a...

    Carcass/Carcos build

    Did this build a while ago but decided to redo the label in the weekend since my design skills have got a bit better since my first attempt I used my band logo figuring it will impress any pedal nerds who bother to lean over and have a look :) The extra switch chooses between stock diodes and...

    Speedy Gonzalez Musikding kit build

    Boxed this up yesterday. The 'Tone' label is a bit wonky, I will trust the template more than my eyes next time, but quite pleased with it other than that. It's a cool circuit, a bit towards the distortion side but still very obviously a fuzz. One of those ones where it is fairly sensible with...
