Hey all! Quick (and probably pretty easy) question, but I'm putting together a Leprechaun build and am just four 1uF MLCCs shy of what the build needs. I have a bunch of 1uF bipolar electrolytics lying around though, can I just use those instead? I'm pretty sure it's fine, but wanted to...

Heyo! Been a minute since I last posted a build report. I put together this Skeptical Buffer build recently, and am pretty stoked with how it turned out. In terms of the way it 'sounds', this bad boy buffs. Kind of hard to record a demo of just a buffer pedal, but it adds to the clarity of my...

This came up again in the wish-list page for a MkII version, and @Feral Feline brought up some great questions for what a mod to this might look like. I'm relatively new to the world of modding existing circuits, but I'm curious if anyone has any insight or guidance on how to complete the...

Hey all! Been a little bit since I've posted something, here's a project I just finished up recently for someone. It's a two-in-one, with a Cobalt drive on one side and a Bass/Treble boost on the other. I also found some cool looking textured paper that I wrapped it with, and I think it fits the...

Hey all! Been a bit since I've posted a build report. I've been building things here and there but keep forgetting to post about them, but here's my most recent one. A friend of mine asked me to put together a phaser for him. He's recording a country album and apparently phaser is used quite a...

Hey all, I know this isn't a PPCB build but I also know a fair amount of people here have put this one together, so fingers crossed we can get it working. I just finished up this build and am not getting any signal out of it when the pedal is engaged. The LED stays on all the time, and gets...

Hey all, I am humbly coming to you again with issues I'm running into on my second Dandy Horse build (honestly I need to just stop building these things). Basically it seems to be working in the sense that I'm getting some modulation out of it and the modes are "functioning" enough to know...

Hey all! Just finished this up the other day. Overall it was a pretty straightforward, no fuss build that was lots of fun to put together. I lifted pin 6, as per the build doc suggestions, and this thing fired up no problem. My fabric wrapping journey continues; this one came together pretty...

Hey all! I finally finished putting this Duo-phase together and recorded a couple clips with it. As some of you may have seen, and even contributed to, I had a hell of a time getting the ticking noise from the LFOs to not be super audible, but after lots of trial and error with shielded wire...

Hey all! I just finished putting together this Duo-Phase, and everything is working as it should except I'm getting a fair amount LFO ticking from it. It happens the most prominently when the left side (looking at the front of the enclosure) is engaged, or when it's bypassed altogether. If...

Hey all! Just finished boxing this bad boy up. Overall it was a super straightforward build, and all the components were easy enough to find (although for some reason I kept forgetting to check my build materials prior to putting it together, wound up having to put in two separate orders for two...

Got a two for one for y'all today. There's a music shop near me that I've been frequenting the last year or so, and during that time I've gotten to talking with the shop owner a bit. We were recently talking about pedals and I told him that I build clones in my free time, which prompted a...

Finally got a chance to put together one of these and man, it certainly lives up to the hype. Admittedly I'm already a fan of Big Muffs, but this thing takes all the stuff I like about them and adds a lot of features that I found myself wishing big muffs had. The two modes are both awesome and...

Hey all! I finished up this Desolate fuzz build the other day, and had a ton of fun both putting it together and playing with it once it was completed. I put it in a 1590b enclosure, and was finally able to bust out the top-jack drill guide which is freaking awesome and a huge help with those...

Just finished putting this one together, all in all it was an easy and fun build. I've only heard good things about this circuit in general, but given how expensive they are these days I've never had the chance to play one, so I was stoked when we finally got a PCB for it. Would I pay $500 for...

So I was commissioned to make this Polychorus for someone on Reddit a while back and FINALLY got it finished. I actually finished the build back in like, November, however I just could not get it to work properly once it was all done. The signal would die right around IC3 (the second BBD chip)...

Hey all! I put together this Devi Ever Torn's Peaker clone for someone recently, thought I'd share. I don't really know much about all the Devi Ever circuits out there, just that they exist in some kind of weird internet ether and the pedals themselves have maybe moved into that realm of...

Hey all! Been a while since I posted a build report. I finally finished my Master's degree, so I suddenly have all this free time on my hands. I've still been building a few things here and there, but for the last 6 months or so I've been pretty swamped with getting that degree finished while...

Hey all! I just finished up this Lectric FX Dandy Horse build and am a bit stumped by it at the moment. Hoping to get some guidance from you all, if possible. I'm running into some issues on the biasing section. Initially, I was able to get 500hz and 125hz readings from the test pad. When I...

Hey all! I finished up this Echo Machine at some point in the last few weeks. Overall the build was pretty straightforward, aside from that massive chip that's in there. Pretty easy to source, though, since AionFX sells various components now, this chip being one of them. As for the delay...
