Robert, can we get a BOM for this Scabbard overdrive? https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb665/

I've had this blues breaker pcb sitting around for a while and forgot about it. Found it in my stash last night and decided to finish building it out. I made a couple minor mods to the circuit when I built it. When I was done I realized I was missing the nut for the outie DC jack. I have some...

This is a new fuzz circuit I've been working on lately. I haven't reinvented the wheel, but sounds pretty cool and you can coax a few different sounds out of it. Looking at the schematic you'll see it's a cool tonebender mkII/III and big muff hybrid. You have an attack control that adjusts how...

I built this a couple weeks ago and just realized I never made a built report. No gutshot because I forgot and I'm too lazy to take it back apart. Only had one real hangup on the build. The big film capacitor next to the filter knob is in a bad spot. If you're going to build one of these I...

I'm looking for one of these: Does anyone have any clue where to find them? I have a NYC reissue Big Muff that I've tweaked a few times. For some reason they used a audio taper 500k pot for the volume. I've opened this pedal up several times messing with part values and each time I've wanted...

No mods, except I used a 47k resistor in place of the 51k (didn't have one on hand) for setting the minimum drive. Used the 808 output buffer resistor values per the build docs. Sounds like a Tube Screamer for sure. I used to dislike these back in the day. I hate the way they sucked all the low...

Originally I was building this for myself, but a friend of a friend contacted me asking for a klone build and it became someone else's. The PCB was a little tight to fit around the 3pdt switch and the jacks. I had to fiddle with the jacks because the prong for the hot connection was either going...

A few months ago I built one of these not realizing the transistors were BCE pinout and put CBEs in (2n3904s I think). When it didn't work I thought it was the op amp, yada yada yada I fucked up the pads trying to fix it. Pay attention to the pinouts, lesson learned! :D A buddy of mine recently...

I laid out PCBs for the Voodoo Lab Overdrive (not the Sparkle Drive) a while back. It was their idea of an improved version of the DOD 250 and kind of the precursor to the OCD if you're not familiar with it. Voodoo Lab discontinued it in the late 90s or maybe early 2000s. It was an easy circuit...

I messaged Chuck D Bones about making a tweaked OCD clone with a baxandall tone stack a few months ago. The project got put on the back burner, honestly because I had a lot going on and not enough time to breadboard it properly. Recently I've been working with Eagle and laid out a new version of...

Has everyone used a logarithmic 100k pot for the Cut/Tone pot or has anyone used a linear pot? I've had a Rat with a logarithmic tone pot and the sweep was almost totally useless. I'm thinking about using a linear pot on my build even though the build docs call for a logarithmic because most of...

I mentioned it in another thread, but I've been teaching myself Eagle to design PCBs. I've made a few smaller ones (Arrows clone, Mosfet Boost, and a couple experimental boards). The big muff is one of my favorite circuits and I finally tackled a big muff style pcb with added tone bypass switch...

This is a circuit I was curious about for a long time. I wasn't about to pay the exorbitant costs for an old Hermida one and I definitely wasn't about to pay for a Lovepedal one either. I bought this board and a Timmy to compare since they have a slightly similar bass and voice control. The...

I've been learning Eagle over the past few weeks. I posted the Arrows pcb I built a few weeks ago. The second pcb I made was a breakout board for the 3pdt and they just came in yesterday. For years I thought it would be really cool to have a brightness trimmer for the LED on the board. That way...

I could have sworn I saw someone mention a pedal that separated the input into three separate frequency bands that got clipped separately then mixed back together. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I had a similar idea tonight while doodling around in my notebook.

I had a big muff building streak late last year and I hadn't built one for a while. I love hearing the differences between all the different versions from the Kit Rae schematics. I even have a breadboard that I set aside just to keep a big muff on it for experimenting. This one is based on a...

Not sure if this is really in the right section, but I wanted to share this little victory. I've seen a lot of people posting their own PCBs they've made here and after making fun of the Lone Wolf Audio PCB I had a chance to look at I had to start making my own shit. A couple of months ago I...

I've never played the original Guvnor, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Kind of expected Gary Moore to scream out of the amp a little I guess lol. It does sound Marshally, but a wider gain range than I expected. You have to crank it up to get that saturated sustaining distortion tone. I...

I've been tweaking big muff circuits on the breadboard for a while now and built a bunch of different versions. This is sort of a blend between a triangle and a ram's head you could say. Most of the muffs I've liked have used 47nf caps on the clipping diodes, so I wanted to experiment with using...

I think I first heard about the Lightspeed last year and it piqued my interest. I wasn't about to spend $200 on a simple op amp based overdrive when I knew I could build one for peanuts. This was built mostly to the build doc specs, but I didn't have the OPA2134 op amp on hand, so I stuck a...
