    Nacho daddys Mach1

    Mach1 with a little spice. Used Chuck D. Bones values posted in another thread to raise the gain a smidge. Put diodes 3&4 on a switch Stock/D9V… In germanium mode with gain all the way up it turns into a gated fuzz… Kinda kewl.. @Verbzilla

    Jet Drive build Report

    My 8Yo showed an interest in soldering so I let him pick out a pedal… By name . He thought the idea of a Jet Pedal sounded cool… I held the iron and he placed every component and fed the solder to the parts … Was a long build… 😂 But we managed to finish it this weekend without too much fuss… We...

    Emu Amp Simulator w/ Micro XLR

    Just finished up this build.. This is definitely not an easy build.. The slide switches have to be perfect in height to hit the faceplate just right as well as being level.. Takes some fiddling before you commit.. I had to clip two switches back out on my first attempt and redo.. I opted to mod...

    help with schematic question/Bias Antiquity Fuzz

    So I put a vero build to the side I was building for Feral Feline... Issue I'm having is likely due to the HFE of the 5089's im using but I'm not able to get under 7.8 volts on the trimmer to set bias and the circuit.... What resistor change should I make to help get a little more room to tweak...

    Ginsly’s Acoustic Preamp Build Report

    Had a request to build a local dobro player a preamp so I decided to go with this build.. Sounds really good for a clean guitar boost..The EQ section is very useable!

    opinions for a pedal build for dobro player

    Got a request to build a preamp pedal for a dobro player that uses a passive pickup... plugs into a direct box>FOH. Says he looking for something to boost his signal with a separate gain/volume. I was thinking some sort of boost build with an EQ section or possibly the unicab or EMU? Neither of...

    Handspun Antiquity Fuzz

    Used a Vero layout from tagboard effects. 3d printed the enclosure and went to work getting it all in there… Turned out pretty good… Fairly decent volume drop when engaged but it sounds pretty good

    Aleph Null Weeble Build Report

    Pretty straight forward build and all went smoothly. Still have a bit of tuning to do but for now it has a nice range of speed… I have it set fairly subtle so it doesn’t get in the way of anything else.. Pretty good modulation pedal that has a good warble vibe kinda thing… Great for if you want...

    If you were going to build a compact Bass pedalboard?

    What would be your must haves? I know nothing about Bass. Our church uses some small sansamp / tech 21 bass fly rig pedal that has a few built in effects... If I were to build a small pedalboard for all the Bass players what would be a good selections of must haves for some phat clean tones for...

    SHO Boost W/ Always On Buffer

    This is my very first attempt at building on stripboard / Veroboard. Saw a YouTube video of a veroboard build and decided to give it a try.. It’s a super hard on boost wired for the buffer to be always on.. To my surprise it fired up on the first attempt.. Pretty tight quarters on the enclosure.
