i had a vero layout for this printed and sitting in a folder for a while, but wasn’t sure when/if i was really gonna build it. so when PHB2025 got launched, i guess it was the push that got this build to happen sooner than i had planned. fortunately i had already ordered some 2N3903...

my first chorus build was a CE-2 on vero. i’ve never had an issue with how it sounds, and the soft switch relay bypass that was retrofitted made it even better. it’s been on my board for live use since it was built, but i knew eventually i was gonna have to build a caesar chorus and check it...

after beginning my dive into breadboarding with some soviet NPN Ge, i wasn’t really all that excited with the sounds i was initially getting on the fuzz face circuit. briefly tried silicons, still wasn’t that great, although the ones i tried were like 350hfe (bc108). gonna have to revisit a...

admittedly, i really didn’t need to build this. not sure why i got sucked into dropping it in the cart. maybe it was the sight of the troubleshooting threads and thinking, surely it can’t be that much of a big deal. or maybe it was the build documentation that really sells this as a whopper...

i’ve built this circuit a few times now; vero, pcb, tagboard, and now ‘perf/wood’. inspired by the success of the perf/wood big muff, and after finding a perf layout for the ST-9 on effectlayouts, i decided i was going to attempt to do this board style again with my favorite overdrive...

i’ve had a few LM308H opamps to play with, and after a fair bit of breadboarding with them, and building a life pedal V1, it was time to build a proper og rat. my last rat build was for a friend with an OP07, and at the time i wasn’t real fond of it. not real sure if the opamp had much to do...

omg. the noise. how did i not see all these threads: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/dark-rift-delay-distortion-fuzz-in-wet-signal.3512/page-3#post-41773 https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/dark-rift-delay-noise-in-the-repeats.4557/ https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/dark-rift-noise.4069/...

initially inspired by the mods described in this thread, i wanted to explore some plexi / super lead inspired values/mods with the Mofeta board. so i started off by breadboarding the Mofeta as per the schematic in the build doc. sounds pretty good. then I tried the mods seen in the annotated...

doesn’t seem many have built this one, and of those that have, it seems most have reported less than favourable experiences with it. well that isn’t the case for me. i reckon this thing sounds fantastic and does exactly what it’s supposed to. i’ve read the discussions on a thread regarding...

a few weeks ago i had a squizz at this circuit on the breadboard, and was immediately enjoying the thick crunchy blown out saturated drive that comes from this thing. it's sick. [👉 grab an El Sol Distortion if you haven't already] i was yet to do a single knob build, this circuit was satisfying...

i should have started breadboarding a long time ago. it all started about 6 months ago when i wanted to start testing out some MP38 Ge transistors in basic circuits with a cheap 400 point breadboard and the brilliantly convenient ProtoBoard Micro. then i finally 'got it' and realized why...

fuzz is one of those wonderful things i love the sound of and like to hear other wizards play, but when i use them it often feels like im doing it wrong. despite this, i keep ordering fuzz boards, idk it is what it is, and the Arkaim Fuzz was one I kept reading great things about, often...

since the og univox super-fuzz circuit absolutely kicks arse, i expected no less from this Boss evolution of the mighty octave fuzz. especially given how much praise this thing seems to cop here and all over the rest of the world. Looking at previous build examples I decided to include the...

last time i built a face melter it went straight to a friend.. was almost a little bit bummed because it’s actually a pretty decent distortion. so i had to do it again. but this time i did a batch of 3 so i could give one to a couple mates over xmas/ny (was a bit late but ah well) linking...

Crikey. I know i’m late to the party, it’s old news and everyone’s built one.. ..but damn, i never expected this to have such a devastating and crushing sound o_O even when i was breadboarding a RAT to verify/test the LM308HZ, and then a green ringer for the D9E diodes, i was kinda doubting...

it's kinda hard not to get sucked into big muff lore and dive into all the variants. the big muff origin stories got me curious and looking at the og perfboard V1 circuit, and then i started getting ideas. i've only done a couple variants so far (V7 green russian, kewpie fuzz), and those were...

of all the silly builds, this might be the dumbest. first, Tayda's metallic candy green. omg. and it's impossible to capture how deep forest/emerald green it actually is. the photos almost make it look teal, but it's not even close to teal. its almost like a metallic candy british racing green...

ElectroVibe. the og swirly! grabbed the board about a year ago, took a while to get to it, but glad i did, it was well worth the wait and parts hoarding. built this one with a couple mods from the big monk thread, incl. - R4 - 4.7M, R2 - 6.8K for increased/improved output volume. - 2N3904...

was recently requested to build a superfuzz. 1590B size was preferred. had a matte sand red in the stash. selected a vero layout from sabro cut a vero board, drilled some holes and made it happen with some measured/selected 2SC1815s. (Hfe around ~160-170) was quite a squeeze. pretty happy...

seemed like i was dragging @Stickman393 ’s thread out of scope (germanium transistor testing and leakage), so i’ve removed my comments and started a new thread here… >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< very recently i've just begun trying out breadboarding for the first time. (wanted an excuse...
