I really like this circuit. Does it sound like Tony Iommi in a box? No. I don't quite think Laney is marketing it as that but kind of seemed like it. But it sounds great. It does a great job of that boost/low gain OD. I really liked the look of the original, so I borrowed from it quite a bit...

I'm kind of at the point where I've mostly built all circuits I set out to build when I initially started. So, now I'm building what I consider "classics". In my opinion, The Diezel VH4 amp is one of those. I've never played one but I've heard plenty. One of the first pedal mods I've ever...

This one I consider a classic. It's very smooth sounding drive. Nice, warm and amp-like. The tone stack is very useful too. I splurged and bought a CA3260 chip. If you crank the gain that's when it makes any impact at all. I socketed the transistors because I've seen 2N5088 in there but I...

This thing is pretty amazing. It seems intimidating at first but with a quick breeze through the EQD page and just messing around it starts to click. Granted there is a lot of weirdness that comes out of it. But once you mess around with it, it's kind of intuitive. There is a lot of fun to be...

I pretty much just wanted to post a report for this since I don't see any builds out there at all on it. Especially since there is not a lot of info it. It's a cool build. The accompanying face plate is a nice touch. Everything laid out pretty well. Although a bit unorthodox, I think it gives...

This one is based off the Ibanez SM-9 Super Metal from the magical 80's. With a couple additions which allows for a bit of fine-tuning. It's a cool amp-like distortion pedal. Sounds pretty good. May be just a hair fizzy in some settings. Fun and easy build. Only small issue is the BOM recommends...

Anywhere else to find these jacks besides Tayda? https://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/6-35mm-1-4-plugs-jacks/6-35-mm-1-4-righ-angle-stereo-female-connector-thread-lock-panel-mount.html I don't like to order from Tayda since every time I do my CC company reports it as a fraudulent...

Well now, this one is very interesting. It's pretty damn cool. I only picked this one because it was on sale (during non-sale time). I've read it be called a modified tone bender MKII. To me it sounds and feels like a boosted fuzz face with a Muff tone stack and sag control. All this makes for a...

This is another great PT2399 delay pedal. All built exactly from the silkscreen on the PCB. It's works and sounds great. Very low noise. And it can do a nice subtle delay or get wild and oscillate. Which I'm a fan of for sure. Not much to say that hasn't already been said. White laser...

Big Muff and blendable Green Ringer Ocatve? Hells yeah. At least that's what I thought. I really have no problem with Storyboardist or EL but I've had the most problems with their builds. Not bad mouthing them. Their projects are really good. Their support has been good. My only complaint is...

I'd like to properly label the toggle switches on my build. If you are looking at the finished pedal, which side of the "MK" is MKII and which side is MKI.V ? Also, is the Voice switch the same as the original, Mids, Stock, Fat? I'm guessing Stock is in the middle. If so, which side is Fat and...

I actually finished this one this past weekend but waiting until now as to not steal any thunder from @chris.knudson This pedal is very very cool. Looks like it's been around from PPCB for bit. But still a great sounding digital reverb and chorus and a cool boost. All together they sound...

Do I need another compressor? Um, no. Will I have a super nice compressor when I need one? Ahh, yes indeed. This is the 4th compressor I've built. They are ranked as following as my most liked. 1. Sheepylove Squishy (CS-2) 2. General Tso (Thorpy FX Fat General) 3. Delegate Compressor (EQD...

Im sure this is basic understanding of an EQ pedal so bear with my noob questions. I'm building the 6 band EQ potentiometer version. But I guess this is a question for any 6 band EQ. How are the frequencies adjusted when turning the pot? Is the center of the pot 0 and left of that minus a...

Getting a lot done this weekend. This is my 3rd build I finished up, 2nd report. This guy is based off the Catalinbread Varioboost. I decided to build it based on a recommendation from @peccary on another report on the forum. And I'm glad I trusted him and other forum members. Because this...

Another cool boost great for stacking into a dirty amp. Adds a real nice flavor to the chugs. On its own there's not much to say but into a loud, high gain amp it sounds awesome. Especially with down tuned guitars. I think I prefer the Dwarven hammer a bit more but this is very close. I'm going...

Yes, this is YATS. But for whatever reason, it just works the best for me. I strictly use it to tighten up the gain channel on my amp. I've tried so many different overdrives, so many Tube Screamers, and this one works the best to me. It's quiet and adds just the right amount of magic to my 100w...

Chaos machine indeed! This isn't really my bag but it is very fun. This is another one that looked intimidating at first but was super easy to build. I'm happy with how everything came out. Boring build report. 5 star build.

This is my build for AionFX Nereus. Which is compared to the Catalinbread Octapussy. Which is a great name for a pedal. Great octave fuzz. These types are always hard to tame since they can get wild and gnarly. But to me, that's the charm of it. I actually really like how the graphics came...

Here she is. The true bypass Boss DS-2 by the acclaimed Schu-Tone. This one gave me some fits. All on my end. There are quite a few resistors so it made using 1/4w ones a more tighter fit. I think going with the recommended 1/8w would have made things a tad easier. The only good thing about...
