Beautiful :)

My second two Parasit builds. Both came together easy peasy. The enclosures are Pantone Cool Grey 2 C from Tayda. Laser film free. The 1985 does the arcade bleeps and bloops rather well: The Theremin Fuzz sounds epic with delay and reverb:

Both turned out fantastic! I might need to try waterslides … have you tried film free too? I’m curious how they compare.

I would agree it’s in a similar space as the Expandora. I love the Expandora I built too. I thought about doing a Cheese Source but all the demos I listened to of the Brown Source didn’t light my butt on fire. Maybe after I finish the other Lovetone pedals I’ll revisit the Brown Source.

The first of my four Lovetone builds. It came together easy. It’s a fun pedal, highly recommended. I’m working on the Meatball next :)

I ordered a set of pastel pink 125b enclosures and wanted to put something special into them. I’ve been considering the Uni-Drive for a while based on use by Page and my good friend loves his Danelectro Breakdown. It’s a great “more” boost. The Super Fuzz… it’s my one true love. I have many...

Sounds like black magic!

I’m not smart enough to explain the science but soldering using an induction system feels way more consistent … and even more consistent across different thermal masses. Soldering a switch lug is basically as fast-easy as a resistor lead.

Induction soldering feels like cheating.

The first of my Parasit builds. I like to rock before box normally, but for these two I built into the enclosure because of the multiple toggles on the Arcadiator and the rotary on the Raygun. The Arcadiator is probably my least favorite Parasit build so far. Not that it’s bad, but the others...

This came up in a Muff variation thread as one to try. I used the schematic and specs here: https://faustone.com/fuzz_unit.html It won’t knock my favorite muff the Mayonaise off the throne but it’s unique sounding and worth building. More dynamics, more ‘immediate’ than your average Muff.

It's a velcro type fuzz, it sounds good on guitar too (used by the Muse guitarist). For bass a good example would be Air's Don't Be Light where Justin Meldal-Johnsen absolutely destroys with it. The Penumbra gives you the extra control from the Mastotron version plus the pick up simulator.

I love this one. I used 2n3903s instead of MPSA18. I biased like here: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/wem-project-v.15481/#post-193350 I got rid of the complex ground scheme in the build doc, and wired the stomp switch PPCB style. The board fills a 1590bb2 and my input jack barely...

I leave the transformer switched on for the most part, mostly because the board it’s on is sometimes used as a high frequency (buffered) loop from my bass board. But yeah, that’s been my experience too (also with the Aion Penumbra).

Looks great! I’m pretty sure I biased to whatever is in the build doc and then didn’t bother to tweak by ear because I was very happy with how it sounded as is.

Mayonnaise is my favorite at the moment but I adapted a Shika board to build a Champion Fuzz Unit last weekend after reading about it in this thread and it's definitely going into the rotation.

In the end it turned out pretty damn good :) What do you use for clear coat?

That’s good to know. When I last ordered from Remington I didn’t know what was meant by top coat.

I just got a bunch of the Weico from AES. I have been using the wire from Remington. The wire from Remington is great except it’s not pre-bonded. I’ve always been a little nervous a stray strand is going to cause an issue but it’s never happened to me. My very initial impressions of the Weico...

USA here (Minneapolis). My last experience with DHL was also bad. I pre-signed because I figured that would make it easier for the driver. It made it easier to just drop my package somewhere else. Like many these days I have a security camera covering my front door and the street and could...
