Hey all, I came across the rob robinette page about mods for a deluxe reverb. It mentions a 25% or 10% power options using two resistors built inside the amp that are switchable. It’s always a PITA messing about with an external attenuator so having it in the amp makes lots of sense. That...

I have acquired 2 new amps recently that I don’t have space to keep in the house but I am able to store them in the garage. I’ve heard mixed opinions on whether this is a good idea or not. Would they get damaged through damp/mold issues with it being very cold? I was thinking I could store...

I have a Mexican strat that I love how it plays (I also love the Olympic white) but I feel it’s missing something. I’ve tried new pick ups. I am wondering if the finish would change the feel/sound do the guitar significantly. Anyone refinished a poly body in nitrocellulose? Is it not worth the...

Nothing special to see here. Just a minimalist ChopShop. I’ve only had a short play through it after fiddling with the bias. It sounds great but it doesn’t have as much level as I thought it would.I haven’t built a pedal in the last 12 months so I’m just glad it fired up first time.

Hi everyone! I’ve just set up a wet dry set up and my quaverato harmonic trem and I think the PPCB Caesar pedal flip the phase which is a pain as the signal is split before modulation. I could run the split after them both but I’d like the separation to two amps. If I added an inverted op amp...

Has anyone experimented with adding an effect loop to a delays repeats only? I plan on giving this a try and other than having a buffer on the return signal, I can’t think of any issues as most effects would be instrument and not line level. The DOD rubberneck has an effects loop in it but I...

The pedals as part of this poll are all on evil bay at the moment and I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on one of them.

I took a chance on this through eBay. The seller had said that it had been sat in a box for 20 years and didn’t work. They go on reverb (for examples in better condition than this one) for £350-£580 so I took a punt and won it for £161 thinking there’s a good chance to get my money back or more...

This is my first build in about 18 months which is appalling. Fallen into the trap of busy work and home life making for very little play time. This build has reinvigorated my need to to build pedals again and I’m enjoying planning what’s next, but the build itself was a fight. I’m running...

I had one of Jeff Bezos’ voucher for my birthday and I thought I’d try one of these out. I’m not even sure it’s fair to call it a scope but we’ll see. I want to buy a scope in the future but haven’t got the space at the moment so this will be an interesting experiment. Anyone else tried one?

Does anyone know of transistors sockets in a TO-5 package that aren’t astronomically expensive? I am not a fan of using split off inline sockets. The one below is $2.50 for one!

I’m toying with the idea of putting together a 5 pedal set up in an large Hammond enclosure similarly (but less magnificently) to what @ADAOCE did - https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/bass-multi-effect-pedalboard.11968/ What are your five pedals that are essential for you (on this desert...

Hi everyone, After seeing @Chuck D. Bones thread on relay switching - it has got me thinking. I am tempted to have a go at Dave’s but I would love to get the bottom of this issue. I often use codas relay bypass circuitry on designs. It is plagued by certain builds having a loud pop when...

If you could design your own active EQ pedal what bands would you choose and why would you choose those frequencies?

Does anyone have any experience of adding an LFO to a deep blue delay style pedal or any other PT2399 delay for that matter? Fuzz dog includes a pad available in the link below for one and I was interested to see what others had done. The pad attaches into the delay pot and the resistor of pin...

I was trying out some of my overdrives I had built a while ago. My duocast has developed a ground hum which I need to look at, the Mach 1 just didn’t seem to pair well with my current amp and the dumbloid clone just wasn’t doing it for me at all. Then I tried my zendrive clone with the guitar...

I have a build in mind that I want to put together a PCB for. I want to use a 125B in a vertical position. I am working today and haven’t got my laptop to check if the spacing would fit. Would it be possible to fit 4 9mm pots in a row with the smallest knobs I can find? If not I’ll have to use...

Does anyone subscribe to Circuit Lab? Is it worth the $79 a year? I am really struggling with LTspice to where it is not useable for me without getting mega frustrated. Any tips on any other circuit simulation tools?

Anyone ever used a hot air gun for solder paste reflowing with SMD stencils? @fig has got me tempted with his fancy oven but I’m not sure I’m ready for that level of commitment just yet. I quite enjoy watching Dave Jones on EEVblog and saw that he has done it with some success - I wondered...
