I've been sitting on this board for at least 3 years and finally got around to building it. The Abider is a well known Dumble ODS style pedal. In my mind that always says "ahhh it's another Zen drive variant". Well, this isn't. And given JRD's penchant for squeezing out new pedals based on...

Day 2 of Mike Wong's build report dump......:) This is @szukalski 's layout of Dylan159's (from FSB) PT2399 Delay. I've been pretty much a die hard analog BBD delay guy with my goto being the pair of MadBean DMM's as well as @blackhatboojum's Boss DM-2 and @dan.schumaker 's DM-3. I'd left...

Rolling right along with the build report dump.... I have to admit I'm not much of a Univibe user. Mainly because I can't seem to get them to sound good with gain. I've built both the ElectroVibe and ElectroVibe Mini. I really didn't have a good reason to built another vibe. But to absolutely...

If you've been following my somewhat irregular build reports, you'll recall the deep rabbit hole I went down (again) with the MXR Phase 90 and Phase 45. The first time I fell down the rabbit hole was back in 2022 when I built the XC Phase. This most recent rabbit hole, I was just standing at...

Despite the close naming to my last build report, the Ibanez Jet Driver. This is not the same pedal. First of all this pedal dates back to the mid 80's. I don't believe there is an Ibanez counterpart to the OD-01. However, like the Jet Driver, this is a pretty high gain pedal. There is a...

I'm going to try to get some build reports reported Haven't been very consistent with that. This past year or so I've been on a roll with finding and building some older more obscure overdrives and really digging them. The Ibanez JD9 is a newer addition to the PPCB catalog but is a somewhat...

@BuddytheReow Our resident master of "show me like I'm the clueless idiot that I am" tutorials. :p

Here we go again, another phase shifter! I mentioned in my last Phase 90 build report that I had a Phase 45 project incoming that @szukalski laid out for me. It only made sense since we started down this path. As you may recall, the premise of these phasers was testing/confirming that SMD...

In my post for the first Sheepy Love SMD Phase 90 I mentioned that I had ordered 100 Toshiba 2SK208-GR SMD jfets. These are the SMD equivalents of the 2SK30A Jfets that were used in the Boss PH-1 and PH-1r phasers. So I'm mixing metaphors here by using them in the MXR phasers which originally...

Well as usual @Guardians of the analog got me re-thinking the Phase 90 and 45. (Check out his recent builds here and here.) szukalski obliged me by putting together a Phase 90 PCB, no mods, Script mode only. I wanted a vintage no nonsense version of the Phase 90. So as I was chatting with Dave...

I've seen at least one build report for this already so I know I'm not the first. This was in a dump of Gerber's from @szukalski, he said it's his favorite EQ pedal, so of course I HAD to build it! :) The circuit is an original circuit designed by dylan159 from FSB and I think Dave has a...

Ok, when I typed in "biggus" in the title I got a lot of responses of a more vulgar "Biggus" pedals hahaha. This is @MattG's Gigantic Sauce Container PCB that he was so kind to send me. Based on the Way Huge Saucy overdrive that I had never heard of. It's very rare for me to build an overdrive...

I built this one a few months ago and I was sitting on the fence about posting a build report because it was so ugly. But, I decided to show my true self, warts and all. hahaha. This is another board I bought years ago during a shopping spree. Must have been a sale or something... :p...

Build report #2 for today. I bought this PCB from @Robert during one of my shopping sprees then couldn't remember why I got it. hahah. It sat in my pile of boards for over 2 years. A few months ago I was looking at it and watched a few more demo's and decided to build it. I don't know why...

I hope I'm not overwhelming everyone with my build report posts that have been coming in fast. I'm catching up on a year's worth of builds that I didn't post while I was getting my cancer treatment. I had enough energy to build but not enough to post or demo. This is one that Sheepy...

This is another board that @Audandash sent me recently. I've built @Robert's version of this before and also built the Clark Gainster on the same board. The Gainster leans more heavily towards a TS808 where the Red Snapper leans a bit more towards the Boss SD-1. On this version I used SD-1...

This one's a real sleeper. Don't see a lot of build posts about. I have to admit I bought this board during one of my "half asleep in bed with an iPad in my hands" shopping sprees a few years ago. Then I sat on the board for years thinking I wouldn't like it because it was too high gain. Well...

Continuing with the theme of obscure overdrives, this is a board that my buddy @Audandash sent me in a care package a few weeks ago. @aion has an excellent write up and tracing journal on this pedal. Aion has it as their "Heliosphere" overdrive. Quick history, these were hand built by Robert...

So I'm late to the party with my build report as you've probably seen a few of these builds. Another gift from my pal @Guardians of the analog. I know he's been working on this project for a long time, but it seems like as soon as he brought @dan.schumaker onto the project it got done lickity...

Here's another one I had never heard of but @Guardians of the analog thought it would be right up my alley when he gifted me this board. And he was spot on! I've really been on a roll with early, obscure, Japanese overdrives (a few more build reports to come) and the Mostortion kinda fits...
