What is the proper power supply for the PedalPCB Valhalla (Diezel VH4)? The original pedal uses 12-18v and I'm having a little trouble verifying what Rob's version™️ wants. Thank you!

https://guitarpedalparts.com/pages/pcb-design-service "We can design PCBs, manufacture PCBs, and deliver fully finished PCB assemblies..." I was nearly scammed on Fivver while looking for someone to do some design work 🙃. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Thanks!

Some of you may remember when I posted that I built a pedal for Mark Hoppus. That opportunity, plus the added bonus that he shared it on his Instagram story to his 1 million followers brought a lot of attention and legitimacy to my tiny little company of one, that's barely a year old. It was...

[so sorry for the clickbait thumbnail] The first concert I ever went to was blink-182 and Green Day on the Pop Disaster tour, 2002. I saw three boobs that night! (me circa 2002) I've gotten some attention recently for building a blink-182-in-a-box pedal (more on that another time) and...

So here is the brother build to my Russian Big Muff w/clean blend. This is the Aion FX Polaris which is a trace of the Human Gear Animato. For those not in the know, the Animato is an obscure Japanese distortion pedal that Chris Wolstenholme (bass player of Muse) discovered early in his career...

This is the Pedal PCB Muffin Fuzz built to Green Russian specs. However I designed a custom enclosure based on the Black Russian model which I feel has a better aesthetic. I translated my builder name Utility Belt FX into Russian for the design and when translated back you get Utility Belt...

I plugged in a new pedal build to test it (Pathogen) and when it didn't work I realized that I forgot to install the Op-Amps in their sockets. After I did the pedal still didn't work, and now I'm wondering if I possibly damaged the circuit, or if it's just some unrelated screwup that I'm getting...

My uncle Howie Troob has a pretty killer guitar collection; primarily vintage and high end acoustics. But the last time I was visiting and we were jamming as we typically do, he pulled this out. A First Act Custom Shop Delia. It was part of a trade and he wasn't really bonding with it. Though to...

Over Christmas my brother-in-law asked if I could build him a Sunn O))) Life pedal, and knowing that PPCB offers a board for it, I said "Sure!" This was my first time tackling the 3-in-1 circuit but I honestly found it straightforward and simple. The trickiest part is hardwiring the octave...

Introducing The Groomsman distortion pedal! I decided to build some pedals for my best friends who I used to play in a band with (and lived in a house with, and remain in a group chat with, etc) as a means of asking them to be my groomsmen for my wedding this October. If you don't feel like...

So I built an Aion Aphelion which is their Dist+/250. This pcb has a clipping switch to go from Silicon to Germanium to LED clipping. The thing I'm confused about is how the documentation talks about wiring the silicon clipping. There are spaces for 4 diodes in the silicon section, but they say...

Here we have my first 2-in-1 pedal The Big Sky. This is an 808 (LGSM) running into a a Marshall JCM800 (Angry Charles). This pedal was inspired by the sound and setup of my favorite hardcore band Every Time I Die. One of their songs had a working title of Big Sky which led to an inside joke on...

Just looking for a ballpark here...

Continuing on my T2 obsession we have a Pedal PCB Angry Charles. Great sounding MIAB circuit. The gain gets pretty crazy in the upper settings and I actually prefer it in the 9 o'clock to noon range. All the guitars you're hearing in the demo are me playing alongside the original multitracks...

TLDR: I built a Friedman Distortion pedal and made it KFC themed. Get it? Fried-man instead of Friedman? Get it??? Anyway, Aion says this is a combination of the BE-OD pedal and the Dirty Shirley pedal and man it sounds awesome. Rich, full distortion that stays chunky and clear with the Tight...

This is my second time building this great little pedal. Such a low part count is a nice change of pace after some of the more complicated builds I've been doing recently. This is just a waterslide decal over some old spray paint, but looks pretty good from a distance. Had a lot of fun covering...

My first time building a trem! Pretty straightforward pcb from Aion FX. Had a lot of fun creating the enclosure for this one. Found the film's title font as well as the Predator's language font, which spells out Dutch ;) I wanted to put some kind of camouflaged Predator on the enclosure and was...

Okay so I'm preparing for an experimental build where I will combine the Van Pelt Drive and the Pathogen Distortion, and using the JMK Paralyzer to get a blend between them. Both distortions will be always on (1 footswitch) and the Paralyzer seems to be the best option to blend between fully wet...

Okay so, this is an Aion FX Polaris (Human Gear Animato) that I modified using the Buff N Blend circuit in place of the normal bypass board. The pedal turns on and passes signal when I have the BnB turned all the way to the clean blend. But when I turn it up to the distortion circuit side of...

So I built my brother-in-law a delay pedal and named it after his daughter, my niece (Mila Echo). I decided to film the whole process for friends and family on social media to give them a better look at my process for building. Most of this will be repetitive or common sense for you guys, but I...
