I always wondered why time based effects were so expensive. Now I know. Lots of parts. Lots of labor. Counterintuitive to my metal head brain that an effect that seemed subtle compared to distortion would be so complicated to achieve. Then again we are talking about manipulating time. High...

DRILLING ENCLOSURES IS HARD! Just had to get that off my chest. I know I’ll get an “amen” from the whole congregation on that one. It took two tries to get this far from perfect result. I’m going make three posts here for Build Notes, Questions, and Pedal Review. This is my second Distortion...

I’m preparing to build the Cepheid Chorus attempting to use parts as close to the original as possible. I’m mainly using the article on electrosmash.com as reference. One part has me stumped. What I’m finding in examining old pedals is there absence of box caps. The Cepheid calls for a 1uf box...

Before you roast my build let me explain. The purpose of this build was to refine my building skills, experiment with vintage style components, and be able to try mods and variations without soldering(I don’t have a breadboard). This is my fourth build and I feel pretty good about it. Some...

I’m interested in doing the Parentheses with the clipping options being ge/op/si on a three way switch. If I put a jumper wire in place of the LED(D4), and Ge Diodes in D3 and D5 would that work? Alternatively could I socket D3,D4, and D5 to leave open the possibility of using it in its original...

I am preparing to build the Distortion 250. Planing to stick to the current build doc for a D+ style result. I plan to socket C1,C2, and C4 to experiment with cap value and type(for mojo). I’ve seen those are commonly changed in mods. I came across an old thread on here documenting a 250 Gray...

What effect does the 30p Cap in C6 have when a compensated Op Amp is being used? Specifically the OP07 and 741. Also wondering if it’s possible to damage the Op Amp this way(including if removed from LM308)?I built my Muroidea with a socket for the 30p, as I’d read you remove it with compensated...
