    DEMO The Everlasting Tantrum - an enhanced DOD Grindhaus Fuzz

    After seeing a request for an unreleased DOD / Devi Ever collaboration pedal and looking into it I decided to go ahead and use it as a learning exercise to move off of EasyEDA and into KiCAD for my PCB designs. Plus, I'm a huge fan of fuzz pedals, so it made a lot of sense in my mind. The...

    Other* Pedals Everythang

    I've been on a modulation pedal kick recently, so a phaser and vibrato in one pedal? Definitely a must build. Like the Honey Coma, it's a straight forward build with a lot of room. I got the faceplate, cause, well, why not? I like the mildly depressive images they're using on the flip side of...

    Other* Pedals Honey Coma

    I've seen one other post about this fuzz and it piqued my interest, so I ordered it. It's a really quick build and a joy to put together. The parts count is pretty low but I did run out of 1uF electrolytics so I used some tantalums instead. It is a cool sounding fuzz. It's even more fun when...

    PCB RFC - Grindhaus Fuzz

    After seeing the DOD Grindhaus Fuzz show up in the wish list section and reading up on it and figured I'd make a version of it. I based it off of the Hype Fuzz from FuzzDog, tossed in the Big Muff tone stack (with the ability to bypass), and then the make up boost as seen in the DOD Grindhaus...

    DF-2 Super Feedbacker and Distortion

    Built this from a Guitar PCB Mania PCB since PedalPCB didn't have a board available. It was a straightforward build but it barely fits in a 1590BB. Overall it sounds like the real thing and is a lot of fun to play. I'm giving it a 4/5 cause making it fit in the case is a total pain. Went with a...

    LectricFX Altered State Phaser

    This was a rather fun build..I had to order a bunch of 1/8w resistors to do this one (I also built the Schu-tone DM-3 at the same time) and then fiddle with the offboard wiring and toggle switch to get the vibe mod into it. I've been listening to The White Stripes recently so their asthetic...

    REQUEST DEFX Drill Templates?

    Over in the builds section, it was mentioned we needed a thread for DeadEnd FX project build templates. So, who has some Tayda Drill Templates they are willing to share for their projects? I've got a few of the Last Gasp Arts Labs PCBs that I'll be building soon, so if anyone has some templates...

    Cross Contaminator

    I had some super low gain NPN MP38 Ge transistors and figured I'd throw them in the Cross Contaminator build. I was going to go with a Dia de Los Muertes theme initially to play into the EQD reissue but my daughter saw me looking for artwork and told me the pedal needed a dragon breathing...

    Sunflower Fuzz

    I built this one using some GT310B transistors I had purchased while building @PedalBuilder's Polaris. Following the whole space theme, I named it Voskhod after the Russian spacecraft for orbital flight. This build went together really quickly and it's a nice Fuzz Face. I highly recommend...

    EV Mini and Effects Layouts Sasquatch II

    After some screw ups on my part with the EV Mini, it worked marvelously. (Note to self: just because you sorted resistors correctly doesn't mean you still can't screw it up, so always double check their values before soldering). You can find some gut shots here. Then I got around to building...

    SOLVED Electrovibe Mini - LFO Not Starting

    I am currently wrapping up an ElectrVibe Mini build and ran into the problem with the LFO not starting up. I can manually cause the bulb to increase in intensity via the gain and bias knobs and hear a change in the tone (as you'd expect in a Vibe), so I know the rest of the circuit works. It is...

    DEMO Naegele Polaris [Sputnik 2]

    A really great build. I built two of them. One for me and one for a friend. I didn't deviate from @PedalBuilder 's design because I thought it was really awesome -- all I did was tweak the colors and gains on Q1, 2, and 3. They are both using the highest gain GT310b transistors that I had, so in...

    Moon Master (Super Heterodyne Receiver)

    This is a pedal I want to like but, it just doesn't do too much for me. However, the pedal itself just screamed Mooninites so I went with that as the theme. I even made sure to name the controls in a condescending Mooninites manner. I enjoyed the building of the pedal and the designing but when...

    Seppuku FX Fuzz Overloader Clone

    I had a few PCBs for a SeppukuFX Fuzz Overloader sitting around and some spare parts too. My middle daughter wanted to learn to solder, so I figured this is a great board to use since the part count is small and the layout is pretty simple. The soldering was really good for an 8 year old too. I...

    Dead End Fx Sprocket

    Continuing on my backlog of Dead End FX PCBs, here's Sprocket, Spaceman Effects Space Rocket I clone. Taking my learnings from the previous pedals, I adjusted the level at which I placed the knobs and gave myself enough clearance to have all top inputs. I had to make some small adjustments on...

    Dead End FX Gollum

    So, after finishing Trahald, I figured I should finish the big brother: Gollum. Much like the Trahald, this build went together pretty quickly. I went with all top jacks, which maybe wasn't the best idea. I should have given a little more space up top for the first row of knobs which would have...

    DeadEnd FX Trahald (Rumble fuzz 2)

    This build came together really quickly. It appears to be lacking the 3rd voicing that exists in the original pedal (which I assume bypasses the voicings) however, that isn't a big deal since only one of the voicings really tickles my fancy. There were a few time-consuming parts: finding...

    Mister Fuzz

    I'm a huge fan of the FZ-1 circuit and had this breadboarded for a few months playing with all the transistors until committing it to a pcb. I used SFT-353s from Amplified Parts for the Q1-Q3 and they ranged in hfe from 80ish to 115. The build went really quickly and really had no issues...

    Panspermia Fuzz

    I spent longer than I should have building this pedal. I enjoy chaotic fuzzes and this one ticked all the boxes for me based on the demos that I saw on YouTube. It was actually a very quick build but it definitely works much better with a single coil guitar than a humbucker. I spent a lot of...

    SOLVED Panspermeria No Effect Sound When Turned On

    I just wrapped up soldering a Panspermeria Fuzz PCB. When I plugged it in, I received very splattery inconsistent effect that didn't seem to pick up the playing of the guitar. So, I rechecked all my wiring, my soldering, etc. and that all looked fine. I then looked over the build document and...
