    A couple more builds

    Just thought that i'd share these since i just finished these two. A JHS Angry Charles and a Brownout (Subdecay Variac). I like both of them a lot and used a relayed true bypass on both. i did one mod on the Angry Charles since I'm a bass player by using a larger value input cap to allow more...

    GCI Bass Brutalist

    I just finished this one, a GCI Bass Brutalist. All the film caps are from Wima and I used the mods contributed by John Snyder of Electrical Audio Experiments. I think that it sounds great: gut shot:

    Sanford & Sonny Bluebeard

    I had an original S&S Bluebeard years ago but sold it so i was looking for another one to buy. after not finding one, i decided to make one of my own but in a smaller enclosure with a relayed true bypass. I call my version the "Blackbeard". I had requests to make some for others and Sanford and...

    Sunn Coliseum Bass Pedal

    I've always been a huge fan of Sunn amps (mostly the tube models) and I've owned quite few Sunn Coliseums in the past and had another mint one about 8 years ago. Here's pic of it: IMO, it didn't really sound as good a I remembered, lacking low end, so I sold it. About 4 years ago I decided...

    Acer (Altero Kaede build)

    i was having problems with this one making no sound but it turns out that i had a defective NE5532 in my inventory. It works perfect and sounds great now. I used a 1590B2 for the enclosure. here's some pics of it:

    Bombastortion #2

    i just finished my second build of the Bombastotion and i think that this one came out even better than the first one. I used ALL Wima film caps in this one. here's some pics of it: ..... and the gut shot:

    Old but really cool build

    Way back in 2016, since i always loved the sound of an Acoustic 370 head, i decided to build an exact clone of the preamp of it in pedal form. It took me along time to design and etch the multiple PCBs for it and build one for myself. Fortunately, I had all of the original transistors for it...

    Flank/Bombastortion ERROR

    i just built the Flank distortion and it didn't work properly. When I noticed that the clipping LEDs weren't lighting up, I checked the pcb and found an error on it. the Anode/Cathode on one of them has to be reversed in order for it to work, so all you have to is reverse the polarity of one of...

    Mach1 gain MOD

    I built the Mach 1 and it does sound very nice and transparent but IMO, it doesn't have anywhere near as much OD/Distortion with the gain cranked as the online demos show. Does anyone have ideas as to why?

    Nein Fuzz problems

    i just completed the Nein Fuzz but it doesn't sound at all like my original Fairfield 900. It does kind of work but there's not much fuzz coming out of it. I used J201's (pcb type) and measured all 20 of the ones that I have in stock on my Peak DCA75 to match them to the specs as close as...

    My Procrastinator is distorted

    I just finished carefully building a Procrastinator using every component required for the pcb. I got it to work but it's very distorted. I've built over 1000 pedals successfully over the last 20 years including my own etched pcb versions and even a veroboard version about 10 years ago of a slow...

    New Basic relay PCB wiring

    Hi, i just received the pcbs for the new Basic Relay (non latching version) but i need to know what the connections to the A1, A2, A3,B3, B2 & B1 pads correspond to. I had the older version and there's documentation for that, but all it says for the new one is "coming soon". thanks in advance! john
