    Quick question about soldering residue cleaner

    Hello, I've been using some residue cleaner recently, and i notice that pads are much harder to reflow after cleaning the pcb. When applying heat to reflow and improve some soldering joint, i can see bubbles and strange things going on on the pad, it feels like i should remove the cleaned...

    Phase II : Low Pass, Vibrato and 2 stages mods

    I built a few phasers, the Phase II is probably my favorite, i really like how the sweep sounds. However, i built an other one sometimes ago, a Small Stone clone with all the popular mods, called the Redshift from Aion. The mods are allowing some interesting sounds, and i often regret that...

    DEMO Aion's Redshift and Spectron (EHX Small Stone and Lovetone Meatball)

    I built these effects sometime ago, in 2021. Hopefully, they could be some interesting examples about what is possible to do when a pedal builder has "no artwork skills". The idea for the "art design" came to me while i was shopping at the local grocery store. I saw two big packs of rice, one...

    Soldat Distortion (Providence SDT-2), GCI N.E.W HM-2, Frequency Interchange Filter

    I built the SDT-2 because i like some SDT-1 variant very much, so i wanted to try it. It's a great distortion able to get heavy on the low frequencies, just as i like them. It's quite different from the GCI Bass Brutalist which is based on the SDT-1. The gain texture feels a bit more precise...

    Black Eye Distortion and Proposition Distortion (Rockman Ultimatum Distortion Generator)

    I decided to build the Black Eye upon recommandation from @jhaneyzz. All my thanks for this kind suggestion ! The fact that some Sushi Box effects are available at musikding, allowed me to build this project. This circuit sounds amazing, it's impressive and very inspiring, it will be put to...

    Neurotron (Lovetone Ring Stinger) and Xenotron (Lovetone ? Flanger)

    After a few years building stompboxes, i felt confident about these big builds, and i was very curious about these Lovetone circuits. I built the Spectron before (Meatball) and it is such a great circuit that i thought that everything coming from Lovetone must be amazing. I have to admit that...

    Neurotron (Ring Stinger) sawtooth waveshape : low volume, no modulation.

    Hello, I built the Neurotron recently, from a musikding's kit. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/neurotron_documentation.pdf Based on what i could listen in the utube demos, it sounds like everything is working on my build (VCO, LFO, etc) except the sawtooth waveshape. According to...

    Proposition Distortion : a few suspicious things, but not sure if it needs troubleshooting...

    Hello, I built this project with a musikding's kit. Never even heard of the original circuit before, i just wanted to try it, out of curiosity. It certainly has its own singular sound, but i'm not sure if my build is all right. https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/Proposition-PedalPCB.pdf...

    SOLVED Aion's Xenotron (Lovetone Flanger) Not sure if it's fully working ?

    Hello, I wonder if there is some issue with my Xenotron build, because it doesn't always fit the descriptions from the original manual and from Aion's instructions. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/xenotron_documentation.pdf...

    Building a Black Eye : tubes daughter boards mistake, is it really bad ?

    Hello, I am building a Black Eye, and unfortunately i made a mistake with the tubes pcb : I soldered the pins to mount both pcb on the main board, as described in the EZ Tube build doc (pins coming from the side with a circle). Then i soldered both tube pcbs on the main board, but with the...

    OC-7 Octaver : brief crackling noises upon activation, related to the upper octave.

    Hello, My OC-7 clone worked fine since october 2022. https://www.delykpcb.com/product/up-down-daddy-pcb/?attachment_id=1089&download_file=k0sve9jvlkveb Last week it started acting up, with crackling popping noises when the Oct. up control is set somewhere CW before i switch it on. This...

    Binary Dual Fuzz, Cream Pie Fuzz, Lithium Analog Chorus, and Low Tide Modulator.

    I've been building these 4 circuits since the moment I opened the shipment, Tuesday or Wednesday, i can't even remember. I am so frustrated not being able to build as many circuits as i'd like, when i do make an order, i can't stop myself until everything is soldered, screwed, painted and...

    SOLVED Low Tide modulates only if i keep turning the depth control.

    Wondering if using flux on our usual pcbs (Aion's, Lectric FX, PPCB, etc.) is really necessary ?

    An esteemed comrade forumite from diystompboxes often have some very dirty boards to troubleshoot. I just realized he was using "fluids" to help the soldering process. Once his work is done, the pcb looks covered with flux residues. Even after cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, there are still...

    Two articles are in contradiction about the BD-2 tonestack, which one is right ?

    " a Fender-type 3-band tonestack with fixed values (with the treble on 0 and the bass and mid on 10)" from https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/boss-bd-2-mods and : "Here, Bass is maxed out, while Mid and Treble are kept at their minimum value." from...

    DEMO Guyatone Distortion H (Vero) and Aion's Beta Preamp

    Two interesting effects : Aion's Beta Preamp with toggles to swap between Bass and Guitar modes. https://aionfx.com/app/files/docs/beta_preamp_documentation.pdf I'm glad I could manage to fit these two extra switches, both settings are great with a very noticeable change in the tone and the...

    SOLVED Aion's Beta preamp : Treble pot issue

    Hello, I am having a hard time debugging this circuit, although it should be quite simple, I hope. I am building the Sunn Beta Lead/Bass preamp. I'd like to have both versions on one board, so I opted to add two extra 4PDT toggleswitches to be able to change 7 values in the circuit. Musikding...

    Are there many JHS stompboxes based on other circuits from the diy community ?

    If I understood correctly, Lizard queen is based on two circuits, already available in the diy community : Tim Escobedo's push me pull you, and Bazz Fuss. I wonder if there are other exemples of diy circuits turned into "boutique stompboxes" at JHS ? And if there are, what are they ? I think...

    GuitarPCB's Bass Overdriver : Blend control and bass boost toggle mods.

    I built the GuitarPCB Bass Overdrive a couple of years ago, never really could enjoy it because of some kind of bass cut. Compared to other Bass dirt circuits, it felt like it was missing some depth or something. I always liked something about it though, it sounds quite convincing as a Bass...
