    Increasing Reverb in Belton Brick Sproing Reverb pedal

    Just finished building the Sproing Reverb pedal. One glaring "problem" is that I don't seem to be getting much Reverb unless I'm cranking the knob all the way... Now, I don't expect it to have the same sound as an old Fender amp Reverb, but I'm just curious if there are any incremental...

    Loud vs traditional (low volume) bluesbreaker

    Hey folks... So, a long time ago I built a Musikding Bluesbreaker clone... I LOVE it... It has a great tonal Character and very loud... unlike bbs of old... I recently put together a PedalPCB Bluebreaker pcb using the same values found in the Musikding kit... it sounds really good, BUT... it's...

    Removing unwanted oscillation (Nobleman)

    Hey guys... So, I recently built a Nobleman, and was surprised that I seem to like it best with the gain cranked... I went back and bumped up the gain pot value to A500k value so I had a bit more range plus and minus... Pedal sounds great, but once the tone and/or gain knob gets to a certain...

    FV1 based Reverb signal /effect works but volume is very quiet (switch makes "pop" when engaged)

    Hey guys... This has to do with a pedal I've owned for quite some time (since new)... I have a Matthew's Effects Astronomer... It's a hall-shimmer Reverb..Been on my board since new, probably 2016 or so... A couple years ago it was randomly acting up... the effect would engage but severely...

    Bluesbreaker circuit... Anyone care to check my work?

    I built a Musikding BB a while back. I absolutely love it... moreso than my ACTUAL mk1 BB reissue... I'd like to build an identical Musikding but using a PedalPCB board, 125b enclosure, etc... Essentially I want to use the PedalPCB board and substitute the Musikding values (photo 2) onto a...

    SOLVED ADHD doesn't sound like an OCD (weaker gain less body/fatness)

    Just finished an ADHD build for a friend. This is the newest version of the PCB. My buddy loaned me his v 1.7 OCD to compare once finished... The Pedal sounds great, but is extremely lacking in volume, fatness, and gain... I went back and checked the transistors and silly stuff. All solder...

    VHS (JHS VCR clone) boost not boosting

    I've built 3 VHS pedals so far... one for me, one for a friend, and one as a spare in case anyone else wants to try one out. I recently bought an actual JHS VCR and put them head to head... The Pedal PCB version is just a BETTER pedal. The Chorus is more present, The Reverb sounds more...

    Cleaver boost updated version

    So I'm building the Cleaver boost. I bought the mini Katana some time ago, and didn't really care for it (Robert Keeley himself has stated that it is "different" than previousversionsin the sense of obtaining a perfectly clear, clean boost)... I get it... it's a clean boost, but I understood...

    SOLVED Third VHS (Vol, Chorus, Reverb) build has more low end, less sparkle

    Just finished my third VHS build, and ran into a weird issue... Both previous builds sounded really good... the second being the slightest bit more "lush" than the first... but not substantial enough to matter... Very close ANYWAY, a friend wanted me to build him a VHS as well... I just...

    SOLVED Pedal signal passing through with volume at 0 (pot was defective and had a "catch" in it... cycling the knob multiple times =dead. Replaced, fixed!

    So, I recently completed three identical Boteh drive builds... one for me, two for friends... Two sound relatively identical... One is considerably louder than the other two... To narrow down the issue, I'll also add that the louder of the three also passes signal when the volume on the pedal is...

    Simple mistake Boteh drive help

    So a few weeks ago, I finished a Boteh drive (Paisley Drive by Wampler)... It turned out sounding incredible... lots of dynamics and attitude... I absolutely love it. I stumbled across a good deal on a Wampler and decided to pick it up to compare... Mine sounded so much more fat and dynamic...

    Blue Shoe Gai Pan noise

    Just finished the Blue Shoe (pg-14) build. Pedal is kinda cool, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the ins and outs of dialing in a good tone with it... I've heard from other sources (when referring to the JHS production version) that this pedal can be quite noisy. So far, mine...

    Adding a B Breaker additional gain toggle

    Hey folks. Back before I discovered PedalPCB I built my first pedal, a "Der Breaker" from Musikding... I liked it so much I built one for a friend of mine. This friend keeps up with all my builds and recently asked me to modify the "Der Breaker" I built him to add a bit more gain via toggle. I'm...

    Re-capping old pedals???

    Ok, so I've heard some real off-the-wall stuff, but this takes the cake. A very respectable gear repair page I follow on IG threw me for a loop today. The owner was showing an old Boss Delay he had in his shop, and showed a walkthrough of him replacing all the Electrolytic capacitors... Now...

    Legit Fender amp pedal

    I was just hit by inspiration... What if you could combine a preamp style pedal (Peace Hill JM or Crystal Lettuce b.f) with a Danelectro Spring king and optic tremolo... You could have a legitimate Fender Reverb amp in a box...
