Finished this earlier this year, but just now boxing it up. I’m not a phaser connoisseur, but I’ve tried all the big ones. I like the Small Stone the best. I built this to replace my Small Stone, which I picked up a few years ago used - it’s a 2000’s reissue that had been modded by Analog Man...

I finished this board back in February or March, but life got in the way and I’m just getting back into pedal building. So I boxed this one up today and here it is. At one point the SSBS Mini might have been my favorite dirt box. I guess my ears have changed since then - I still dig it, but...

Anyone able to ID this transistor? I’ve tried a bunch of iterations of the code but nothing is coming up. Thanks!

I’m not sure if I like the results all that much, but at least it’s something different. The first one I just went wild with some alcohol inks. If you haven’t tried them, it’s pretty fun. We had them leftover from a kids activity. They work better on canvas, but it still was pretty cool on an...

Here’s my Decadence. I’m a fan of Queens of the Stone Age, so I felt compelled to build this one. Demo down below. My takeaways - sounds great, kinda gnarly and fizzy at times, nails some of those blown out tones from early Queens albums. The EQ is powerful and can very wide range of sounds...

I’m back to building pedals after a good 6 months off. Might have burnt myself out on the Aion IVP earlier this year, but now I’m back at it. Got a bunch I’m finishing up, and a bunch of failures I’ve fixed! So here’s the first. Aion’s Bluesbreaker. I did the extra gain stage, which is an almost...

Just need a second opinion - I was removing a B1M Drive pot in a 250 in favor of a C500k. It was pretty stuck in there and it looks like two pads came off the bottom of the PCB. Will it still function or is this board toast? Don’t want to use my only C500k… Thanks!

Here’s my IVP. Turned out nice, I’m digging it. It’s got a clean channel and a “tube” channel. The clean channel is pretty clean, not much to speak of. The tube channel is nice, it can go from a light responsive overdrive to fully saturated and gnarly. I think both channels can really shine with...

Wondering if anyone can guide me on this - I have a Cross Contaminator that I thought worked just fine until I watched this video demo of the Dirt Transmitter At around 3:15 he shows the bias and gain all the way down. When my CC is at that setting, it’s way too sputtery to use. Here’s a...

Ran out of my own solder at work, went digging and found these old spools. The bottom one has a spotty oxidized look to it. Should I stay away from this stuff? Thanks!

I got these PCBs a little while back not realizing how similar they are. I had heard the Zendrive was great, and I had tried an Ultraphonix that I liked, so I wanted to try both. Maybe someone a little more knowledgeable can chime in, but it seems like the Ultraphonix is a pretty blatant...

Built three Kliché Minis and I like how they turned out. Got the polished enclosures from Small Bear. I finished them and boxed them up with standard footswitches before realizing… damn I gotta get gold footswitches on these things! Didn’t even try desoldering the footswitch PCBs off of the...

Had a request from a friend visiting from overseas to build a her a Blues Driver before going back home. Thanks to PedalPCB, Tayda, Small Bear, and the good ol’ USPS, I got all the parts and built it in under two weeks! Luckily finished it the day before her flight. It sounds great. I was able...

I was interested in this pedal because one of my favorite guitarists, Jeff Parker, uses it as his main drive pedal. It was a quick and easy build. Can’t say I’m too stoked on it though - when sustaining notes it kind of fizzles out, and when the drive is up high, it loses a lot of high end...

Built this a year ago or so and it had some funky noise problems. Just recently went back and reflowed some suspect solder joints and also realized that one of the pots was probably bad. Not sure if I overheated it or what. Replaced the pot and now it sounds great!

Built this one a few weeks ago but it didn’t work - there’s was no modulation going on, and the LED wasn’t pulsing either. I could kind of hear some modulation when moving the knobs around. So last night I went back and reflowed some subpar solder joints - and now it works! One other note - I...

Finished up an Oxide / Mostortion. Used a TL072 in lieu of the CA3260. Sounds great to my ears! Really love it at low and mid gain settings. Loses a bit of brightness at full gain, but I still dig it. Fun, quick build. Happy with the result.

Here’s my Parthenon. It took some squeezing to get it to fit right - the DPDT was too big. I know there are different sizes - thought I bought the right one, but it was awhile ago so I can’t be sure. I took a picture of the front side. Had to drill the holes for the DPDT and the drive pot a bit...

Just got to try one of these for the first time, and I fell in love. Would love to build one! Anyone know anything about it? Or maybe could recommend a similar compressor?

Hello, I have a quick question. I have a Tommy v1 board and a Tommy v3 board, but I bought parts for two Tommy v1s. Would 1u caps make any difference at c4 and c6 on the Tommy v3? It’s supposed to be 820n. Thanks!!!
