Looking for a demo of the Double Tracker.

This is my second time building this awesome pedal. This time, I had a bunch of different transistors. I ended up really liking this germanium MP40A. For the diode, I used one of the really sweet D18s I've been using for a while. And... here is my first attempt at recording a demo...

Madbean Trash Compactor. Another board build by Gordo that I made the enclosure for and did all the offboard wiring. Gordo and I tweaked the trimmers yesterday and is sounds really good. Pretty sure it is testing it out on his rig live today. I'm not the musician Gordo is and I'm not a...

He's baaaaaack! with a magical collab with Gordo... Gordo build the board and gifted it to me to do that thing I do to dress pedals. Hopefully the enclosure screams FLANGER/RINGMOD magic. I kinda think it does. Adobe Firefly text-to-vector in Illustrator with multiple tweaks. Happy to pass...

I have a tiny little cut on my left index finger exactly where I press when fretting. It’s all dried out but refuses to completely heal. Hurts like absolute hell. Been like this for at least two weeks. Any home remedies?

Do any PPCB fuzzes have voltage control ala mythos hephaestus. That sounds fun.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to ask first, solder second on this build. The build doc doesn't even specify the proper orientation of the Seed board (picture show it in my best guess orientation but it is not soldered in) is this correct, or does it need to be flipped. Is there anything...

I finally got a new T7-H tester and got a shipment of germanium trannies from Ukraine. but can’t find the guide for how to interpret the readings on germanium transistors. If anyone knows that off the top of their head you could save me some googling later.

It's full on fall in Chicago so I'm warming up the soldering iron and getting to work on the pile of boards I picked up during the Halloween sale. First up is a General Tso's compressor, but I'm short on the specified components (and some are not available) and looking for alternatives BC549C -...

I took Fig and Gordo's comments of "now you're just showing off" as a challenge... I had a spare Informant all ready to go but without a home, and a brand new spool of bus wire...so.... Here we are at about 99% complete... where I notice the omission of 4 10k resistors.... You know... those...

I obviously can't get enough of the MadBean EgoDeath... I think this is the 6th one I've built. I really like the sounds you can get out of this OCD-ish circuit. The ultra-ancient D2G diodes really work in here. these have forward voltage around 250mv. The notoriously annoying layout of the...

While I think @MichaelW does an excellent job of describing this pedal in his build report: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/informant-drive-1981-drv.16903/ I think I would sum it up as "A well behaved RAT" or a "slightly more polite RAT" or "the thinking man's RAT" Or maybe I'm just...

I heard so many great things about this pedal that I had to build it eventually. The rumors are true apparently. This is one saucy gal. I've got quite the cat fight going on on the lower rail of my pedal board right now for a coveted spot, not the least of which it the Informant I finished...

I had a girlfriend in high school who's father once told here that thunder was the sound of clouds bumping into each other. She never thought about it again because it sufficed. I started building pedals on vero board and got used to adding current limiting resistors at the point of connection...

Just finished this Box 66 last night. I don't have a super wide selection of PNPs but this 2N309 + 2N508 combo sounds pretty sweet with the bias set just on the crunchy side.

I built this for a friend of my son's. I thought I didn't like choruses but luckily I bought an extra board because this thing is awesome. The Blend and Lag knobs just take this pedal in to a whole other territory of fun. I haven't figured out what the internal trimmer is trimming but it...

I've had my T7-H for maybe two months but I was testing some transistors today and it suddenly was flashing basically just the yellow bar at the top of the screen. I thought maybe the battery was low so I plugged it in and left it for a while. Now there is just the yellow bar at the top of the...

I accidentally etched 3 enclosures with the knob labels for a Dan Boost (a.k.a. D.A.M. Red Rooster) and I have plenty of those now, so I set about finding a three knob circuit that I could do my Lovecraft point to point wiring madness to. I decided upon a schematic (included below) of an...

Silly question probably, but I'm using the my Audition platform to breadboard a circuit. The SW jack is just for the LED, correct?

I built one of my crazy point to point Treble Boosters based upon this circuit jjjjjjjim (Dan) Works great, but if I'm playing when i hit the stomp it takes a couple of seconds to gurgle it's self to life. (no immediate signal, then fairly quickly ramps up to proper volume) I'm imaging a...
