I’ve been building quite a few different fuzz pedals that are suited for doom metal and am looking for some more recommendations. To all the doom heads out there, what are your favorite diy projects you’ve built? So far I’m loving the FZ-2 clone, Hizumitas clone and life pedal clone. I’ve also...

I’ve ran into a lot of trouble with this build. First of all, when I drilled the encloser the jacks were too far down, and I couldn’t fit them in. So I went back and drilled a little bit higher as you can see in the picture, but I’m afraid that it might not connect to ground. Second of all, I...

I’ve been very happy with all the pedals I’ve built from pedalpcb so far. They’ve sounded great, but over the last few weeks it seems like almost all of my fuzz pedals sound extremely muddy no matter how I set them up. I’ve just been using a 1spot wallwort with the pedals daisy chained , and I’m...

Hello, the other day I built the carbon black fuzz, and weirdly the top control isn’t doing anything. There’s virtually no low end at all, and it sounds very shrill. It doesn’t sound anything like any of the demos of the black ash I’ve found on youtube. I’ve got Q3 biased to 4.5v and R6 is 46.8k...

Firstly, what is the suggested method to removing the PCB from the board that it comes in? I don't want to harm anything. Also, Robert mentioned the pedal running at 18v. Does that mean that I need to connect this pedal to an 18v power supply, or that it runs at 18v internally with a charge pump?

Hello again, I’ve been looking to up my enclosure game. Thus far I’ve used rattle cans and posca markers with some success, but it’s far too dependent on the weather for a decent result, and the markers are far too fat to label and knobs. My favriote enclosures that I’ve seen on the build...

Hello again, today I spent some of my bonus on 5 cool new pcbs from guitarpcbmania, specifically ones that I couldn’t find a replacement for anywhere else. I then stupidly proceeded to order all the parts I needed for them. After all this is said and done, I come on here to see people saying to...

Hello again, today I spent my day off building a chaos machine. Unfortunately there’s a constant “whooshing” sound coming from the lfo, even with the guitar disconnected. The higher the mix and resonance is turned up the louder it gets. It seems like I’m not the only one who’s had this issue...

Hello, I have been struggling to get my parentheses mini working. A bit of background, when I first plugged the pedal in there was a wiring issue with the rat side causing the signal to cut out when I wasn’t holding the footswitch in a sweet spot. However, when the signal came through, it...

Hello, I'm back again to ask for help with sourcing some parts for my next few builds. I was hoping to get some help sourcing / substituting some parts. I wanted to get the order in today to smallbear to make use of the sale. Thanks in advance. For Q2 on the War Scythe, it lists AC176. I can't...

I wanted to get some advice on what GE diodes to use in D2 and D3 of the Parentheses Mini. I believe its the octave part of the circuit but I could be wrong. Also, how should I go about socketing diodes? I'm not sure what type of socket I need.

I ordered some 1.5uf tantalum capacitors for C16 on the promethium, as I didn't want to do a whole order from Mouser for one cap. After testing a few in my muti-function tester I noticed that they all have some level of Vloss, around 0.3 to 0.5 percent. Are these still safe to use? I'm also...

After successfully building my first three pedals, with plenty of help from you guys, I think I'm going to tackle my first non-fuzz circuits. I decided on the Dark Rift Delay and Woodpecker Tremolo. However, I'm having trouble sourcing the ICs for these particular boards, so I'm going to ask a...

Hello, I am still very new to pedal building and bought the Muroidea kit from stompboxparts after my first build was a failure. I followed the general workflow tips thread and even managed to get the pedal working on my audiotorium test platform which was a really amazing feeling and it sounded...
