So I want to set up a small pedalboard for a performance coming up in a few months. I'm not going to get to use any of my personal amps, so I can't access things like effects loops, etc. I've got "input" from my signal chain and that's it. For most of the performance I'm going to want to run...

So I got a request for a Reverb pedal. There are a lot of decent boards out there, but I wanted to combine a couple of features from different boards into one, and avoid functional internal trimmers, so I decided to lay out my own board. There are several designs available using the Belton...

Had a request for a TacoBolt, but why just build a TacoBolt when you can use the Taqueria PCB and get a SuperBolt as well in one package! In terms of assembling the parts, this build was fairly straightforward. . I'm using all modern parts for this build - 1% tolerance metal film resistors...

I had a friend ask for a custom doomy distortion pedal, so I updated the enclosure on my Arkaim Fuzz build for that project. Thing is it came out SO good, I figured I should re-work the normal "Miragaia" enclosure while I was at it... so... I did... I'm still using the PedalPCB Arkaim Fuzz...

I'd done a Galaxie mod of the blues driver on the AionFX board, but I wanted to try out a Keeley as well. The Tone Geek had a guide using the Cobalt drive, and after I'd looked through his mods, I decided to go that route, and make an additional tweak of my own along the way! Based on the...

Okay - short version of the build report here, but I did want to show off the way cool enclosure. For my single tone stack Dimetrodons, I'm still using the board my good friend at South Obolon FX laid out for me. This has been a really solid little board, and I've nearly gone through my...

I hadn't planned to finish up two vintage fuzz pedals in rapid succession, but sometimes that's just how things line up. For this build I started with the amazingly clean (Aside - I mean seriously Robert... this is next level clean!!! Having now laid out a few of my own boards I'm still in...

I haven't seen anything come across yet, so I'll just throw this out there - anyone going to NAMM this year? I'm actually now a member and was thinking about going - also considering getting some table space with the Stompbox Exhibit guys, but haven't decided yet.

About a month ago I'd build a Klon + Bluesbreaker combo pedal with a single I/O and order reverse switch for a friend. I generally prefer the four jack arrangement like on the DuoPhase - so I wanted to try that out as well for my personal version of the pedal. The Klon side of the board was...

I've been building pedals for several years now, and I realized I'd never actually built a fuzz face... of any sort. So I figured it was time to rectify that, but did I want silicon or did I want the OG germanium? Fortunately with the Twin Face I get both! As you can see from the PCBs...

I'd gotten a request for a Peavey Decade Preamp - and since PedalPCB has the Decadence Preamp board - I got cracking! The overall circuit is really pretty basic. It has a basic 3 band equalizer, but most of the actual work is done by the diodes which are set up in both soft and hard clipping...

Does anyone have a lead on a good tool that will strip 2.54mm pitch ribbon cable?

Steggo had gotten a request for a clone of the EQD Fuzz Master General. That pedal is an update of the vintage Ace Tone FM-2 Fuzz Master Professional, which was famous for it's fairly untamed octave up character. Fortunately PedalPCB had a board ready to go in the Fuzz Cadet, so I grabbed a...

I've got a friend with an early ES345 with a Varitone... only the pups have been swapped to where apparently they're in phase. He's wanting a stereo to mono box with some buffers. I'm trying to get something cobbled together that keeps everything in the right phase, but I wanted to see if anyone...

I'd gotten a request for a Klon + Bluesbreaker pedal... and wondered why the heck I hadn't already done something along those lines. I even had a spiffy new Bluesbreaker board I'd laid out and was in the middle of validating. So... this is what transpired, and in my defense I was left...

I know the II is available as the Two Sticks of Derm, but has anyone traced the "original"?

A couple of years ago I'd built a few clones of the Mountainking Megalith using the PedalPCB Arkaim Fuzz board. Recently, I'd gotten a request for a custom "doomy" pedal - with Steggi on it. The Megalith seemed to fit the bill, so I came up with a fun new enclosure and ran with it... The PCB...

So, for my first 5E3 build I decided to pretty much go stock - but I may build another with the RobRob mods... though I want to design a custom chassis for that - and I may build it as a head rather than a combo. Enough preamble - on to the pictures! For this build I once again used a bit of...

So I had a request for a standalone build of the Gladio SC preamp. I'm a huge SRV fan, so I figured it would be a fun build! PedalPCB has a clone of the Gladio SC released as the Scenario Preamp. As with all PedalPCB boards, it is well laid out and all of the components are easy to identify...

So, say I wanted to toggle the second buffer stage of a Cornish P1 where it could either be on or off... Can I get away with using an SPDT on/on toggle like this: Or should I use a DPDT on/on and completely isolate the second buffer: I'm leaning toward the second option...
