    Canis Distortion vs. Candid Drive

    I was shocked when i looked at the Canis (I was a wolf in the Forest). Its quite identical to the wellknown Barber Direct Drives (Candid Drive). Did anybody check them out side by side? I only see additional hard clipping diodes on the Candid. My plan now is to try some hardclippers on the Canis...

    Nontransparent Booster pedal for Strat and Tele

    The thing is, that i want to build a booster pedal for a friend. He is using a TC Electronic Spark sometimes, it boosts good enough but it should also shape the plinkiness of both guitars for a fuller sound.

    Soldering techniques

    I recently watched a youtube vid of an electronic engineer and hobby guitarist. He did a pedal kit from musikding with a to me strange soldering technique. He stuck the parts thru the holes as usual but fixed them with a small soldering points on the parts side. He did that with all resistors...
