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:

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...

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.

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...

First up the Pharmicist. I don’t love it, I don’t hate it either. I also built (but never boxed) the Mockler and Woman Tone. I feel the same about those too. I guess I should skip building any more Aclam stuff. Next are the last “normie” pedals for a moment. I have a pile of DeadEnd...

I finished this up yesterday. I've had this board for a bit, but whenever I'd take the PCB out to look at it my eyes would glaze over. I'm not going to lie, this was one of my least favorite boards to populate. I usually work on 2-4 different builds at a time. I'll go through and do all the...

I’ve really fallen for these two :) I built the Two Tone Fuzz (RambleFX Twin Bender) first and loved the sound of the GT402s so much I knew I wanted to build a Fuzzface with some too. I chose the Aion FX Solaris pcb after having such a good experience with the AMZ pickup simulator used in the...

Here's a pair I was excited to get on my board. Long ago I owned the rare AF Electrofoods Kerria Lacca which is a collab with EAE. Basically it's a EAE Surveyor and a Electrofoods Lil Pig in a box not unlike the EAE Dude Incredible. I missed having those sound textures. For the Surveyor it was...

I finished up these two last night. I was half asleep and half watching TV while I did the final (messy) wiring but no issues. The Dagger is named "1d4" for the truly nerdy. Both sound great :)

So about 20 years ago I was in that first internet surge of stomp box (and amp) DIYers. I have a lot of fond memories from then. I ordered schematics from repair houses of obscure pedals by snail mail (and shared them online). I made PCB layouts I would print on to PnP blue and then etch with...
