I've got an old Marshall MG30 that I keep in my home office for noodling around. I had the power switch break off this afternoon (it's a simple rocker switch). How would I go about fixing it? I'm assuming I need to take the amp apart and see if there are other stray parts that broke off. I...

I'm starting to check out the Soldano SLO tone and I think it's pretty killer. From what I've heard/read its pretty much the grandfather of all the high gain amps out there today. I would love to get my hands on one, but I really don't have the space for another "amp on tap" ready to plug in and...

Decided to get some time under the iron this morning before work. I pulled out a newer board (Lead Solder Overdrive) and noticed that pot values are also labelled on the backside of the board. Definitely saves me the 0.13574 seconds to turn it over multiple times while putting the pots in...

It’s been a while since there’s been a circuit design or ANY contest for that matter (I miss Fig’s “Guess the Number” contest). Anybody here interested in hosting or participating in one? Just trying to gauge general interest. This thread could also be used any future contest ideas. Or is...

This is probably one of the most expensive and longest builds I've ever done. Keep reading and you'll see why. It's a little graphic. You've been warned... Huge shout out to @steviejr92 for the PCB and enclosure. Around fall time of last year I had an itch to build something that was more in...

I've had this in a bare enclosure since last year. It's been on and off my board for a while now. For those that are relatively new to the forum, Fig was a cool dude that really wanted to be a part of this community. We miss him. Hope he's rocking in his retirement. Anywhoo, here's another...

Hey Guys, Not guitar pedal related, per se, but a project I am working on. I've got some pretty good, albeit old, speakers that I'm trying to hook up to a bluetooth transmitter and amplifier that I'm going to stuff into a 125b enclosure (along with other items making this a utility box) and...

This question is more for the old timers here during the Fig days (we surely miss him). I remember a few years ago Fig passed around an Electric Ladyland PCB to most of us. I've finally put it together this afternoon and everything seems to work. It was partially put together months ago and left...

If you've trolled on my breadboarding thread recently (Buddy's Breadboard and Circuit Design Notes) this may be a bit familiar. If not, I will summarize here. I took a very basic circuit block, in this case a EHX Muff Fuzz, and tweaked it to make it much more versatile. It uses a TL074 with 4...

I've seen this board toward the top of the list in the "most popular" section of the site. I wanted to see what all the fuss is about so I put it in my cart. That was over a year ago. I finally got the chance to put this one together and was not disappointed. It sat on my pedalboard unfinished...

Is there a surefire way to tell (other than the darned thing doesn't work) if a mosfet has been damaged due to static or other type of charge? Will the voltage readings be off or will it test different when using, say, a TC-1? In my current circuit I've got not signal going through a BS170, D-S...

In part 1, we talked about the basics of stripboard, how they work, and some general tips on designing a layout. For part 2 I thought it would be a good idea to write up a "build along" post for a simple, 1 transistor circuit. For this example I will use the Copper Clad Fuzz. For those of you...

By (semi) request, I thought it may be time for someone to put together a guide on how to design a circuit on stripboard/veroboard. This will done in a few parts, so please bear with me. The parts 2 and 3 (possibly more) will be a "build along" tutorial to give specific insights on how to design...

I've got a box of stripboard builds that still need a home. I'm currently working on a more long term project building a guitar body using a 2x4. There was a huge knot in the board and I cut off that chunk. Then it dawned on me to see if I could turn this scrap wood into a pedal. Whelp, I did...

Everywhere I look I only see a full enclosure with a lid. I'm just looking for lids/backings. Sheet metal may be the easier route to go, but I don't have any tools to shape/cut. Anyone know where I can find some?

I've got my eye on some modulation boards and the Module8 seems like a "jack of all trades, master of none". Anybody built one and can comment on the toanz?

Edit: See post #3 for final build. About a year ago I picked up a Belton Brick to try out some reverb. There are 3 kinds of Belton Bricks: Short, Medium, and Long. I picked up the Medium one just to try it out. The amp I was using at the time had a decent reverb on it, so a reverb wasn't on my...

Been a little while since I've done a build report, so here goes... This is the PPCB Dung Beetle (Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe). I got this board basically through word of mouth about a year ago. With such a low parts count I knew this would be a great breadboard project to start with. The stock...

Edit: See post #3 for update. This build was started with a shower thought about 3 months ago and I asked you guys about it here. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/eq-before-and-after-a-circuit.21689/ Then I set out to build a "Dial-a-dirt" + Booster/Tone Shaper. TL/DR this is a 5-in-1 combo...

In all my tone chasing schemes over the years I never fully committed to an EQ pedal. Sure, we all use the tone knobs on our amps. For me, the tone knobs on an amp are kind of set it an forget it. A EQ circuit in the effects loop is where my most recent itch started and I just had to scratch it...
