The Celsius emulates the CH-1 preamp. But has anyone tried pairing it with the CE-2?

When building pedals I use SIP sockets all the time in case I want to try different parts or values. But the standard size are too small for parts with larger leads (like higher voltage parts, old carbon comps and other "mojo" parts) Are there SIP sockets that are made to accept bigger leads...

I'm building a dual circuit pedal, a RAT with a Zvex SHO boost running into it. I want them to have separate footswitches, but I only want the SHO to work when the RAT is on. Because I will not be using them independently and don't want to accidentally blow my ears out. If possible, I'd like...

What boost circuit do you think works well in front of a RAT? I owned the Zero G IOD Algernon, which is basically a Turbo RAT with a Reutz knob, plus a boost knob in front of the circuit. Great pedal, sounded awesome. Especially with the boost maxed and the RAT gain down low, super saturated...

I built the Pastel using the stock transistors. For my 2N6429s the hFE measures 725-750 so well within specs. However the gain level of the finished pedal is quite a bit lower than what I see in demos of the JHS Crayon. In Crayon demos, with all knobs at noon you already have a very healthy...

Built the Taqueria this weekend. The build went fine and it worked straight away. I socketed most parts just in case. The only mod was to use 100k for the Volume pot, because I already had it and it's used in other Superbolt clones...works just fine. I'm very happy with the build itself, my...

Do any pedalpcb offerings do bitcrush? or similar degrading effects?

I built the Kliche SE and hoped to use a Gorva enclosure. I checked the Gorva technical drawings and its stated inner width was wider than the Kliche SE PCB... but the board didn't fit. So I sanded down the left and right sides of the PCB until it fit in the Gorva. About a millimeter each side...

I'm looking for a circuit that is distortion with the option to choose between several clipping diodes (germanium, silicon, LED etc). What are some options?

I built the Sherwood and it seems to work great, except I have to turn Treble all the way down, and Bass up a decent amount, to approximate a "transparent" tone. I owned a real Westwood and it definitely wasn't like that with my gear, so something is up. Sounds really good though apart from this...

I'm using the Basic Relay Bypass (Latching) with the Copper Clad Fuzz. No substitutions, everything is stock part values. The LED turns on/off with the footswitch, but the sound doesn't change. The bypass board's IN and OUT pads (from the jacks) maintain continuity, regardless of the LED state...

I built the Double Jeopardy and it works great, except there's a faint high-pitched noise when it turns on. The noise gets louder as I raise the gain knob. I have a Onespot CS12 power supply and the DJ has its own output, not daisy chained. The whine is there even if it's just guitar>Double...

Hello! I've made a few Ge fuzzes but am not really familiar with the various classic circuits. I am wondering what else I might be able to make with what I have. Below is a list of my Germanium transistors, with gain noted. Unfortunately I don't have a way to measure leakage but I believe these...

I love trying and building new pedals, but I've reached a point where I'm kind of at a loss with drives. It feels like I've tried most things and anything else will just be a slight variation of something I've already played. Below is an exhaustive list of all drive circuits I have owned...

I was trying some different germanium diodes in my Tellurian, but ultimately went back to the Philips OA9, which had first been there. I found myself really loving the sound. Then I noticed, I accidentally socketed the OA9s in such a way that the anode legs were touching! I tried separating...

Can I use a TC1044SCPA in place of the 7660SCPAZ?

Both Mouser and Digikey have an "application" column for parts. The most common applications I see are "general purpose" and "automotive." Which raises the question: what makes a part suited for "automotive" use? Oftentimes parts have basically identical characteristics except one is designated...

I'm a little embarrassed to ask for help because this is such a simple build and I haven't had such basic trouble in a long while. Essentially, the pedal does not overdrive. LED turns on and the volume and tone knobs work, but the drive knob does almost nothing. From min to max, the drive knob...

I'm building the Double Jeopardy. I don't mind toggles, but I like the button on the original Solo Boost. Does anyone know of a push-button switch, that is suitable to sub for a toggle in Pedalpcb builds? It would have to have a similar body height to a Taiway, and only require a simple hole to...

I built the Mach 1 a while ago and really liked it as a transparent drive. Recently I acquired an EAE Limelight V2, which is great, but I felt like I could get pretty close to it by pairing the Mach 1 with a clean boost. I settled on the Cleaver boost, mostly because I tend to like the sound of...
