Ahoy there, fellow amp building enthusiasts. This week I've been going through my very first amp build, a 5F11 Vibrolux kit from Mojotone. Now that I have several amp builds under my belt, I decided it was time to clean up the wiring and do a general safety check. I was reminded that the...

This just sort of happened... I like trying to stuff pedals into mini enclosures, so here are a few Lovepedal clones I've built over the last few months: Little Gent (Englishman) - Tayda PCB - I've seen a few build reports on this lately, so I figured I'd dust off the PCB that's been sitting in...

Howdy, all. It’s been way too long since I’ve done one of these, and I have many to share. I’ll start with the PPCB ones though, because I am forever grateful for the projects and community that @Robert has created! Hylian Fuzz (Devi Ever BIT: Legend of Fuzz) I had an original many years ago...

I purchased an Enchanted Boost PCB during the recent sale, and while downloading build docs I noticed it's set up for true bypass. Since the ad copy for the "original" touts its usefulness as a buffer, I am thinking of wiring mine that way. For those who've already built it as true bypass: Does...

Edit the Third: I used this template for my personal build. Everything was bang-on. Only a few holes had to be enlarged with my step bit, but I can’t remember which. It beats hand drilling everything! ______________ This pedal seems relatively popular around here, and I’d like to build one. I...

I'm several build reports behind, but I recently finished this one.. I was in the mood for something wild and remembered I had some old Devi boards that I could build up. Next thing I know, I'm digging through my camera roll for old gear photos and it happened! The PCBs were purchased from...

This build has been literal years in the making, and I want to thank @jjjimi84 for putting the DK Pedals touch on it. Here are some photos before I dive in: As you can see, the artwork is AMAZING! Holy crap, I am blown away. I approached Dan about painting an enclosure a few months ago as...

Update 5.28.23 - I couldn't help myself.. After realizing how close the Lightspeed and Southland are (schematically speaking), I had to dig out more parts and build a mini Southland! Info below.. _________ To put it plainly, this was the result of a desperate need to blow off some steam / build...

A few weeks ago, I was contacted about building a Low Tide for someone who saw my first build on Instagram. I’m always happy to make a little extra parts money, so I agreed and he sent me a rad hand-painted enclosure, which became this: The build itself was pretty straightforward. I only had...

Curiosity is getting the best of me, so I'm making an appeal to the community. The JHS Shamrock Mod adds two toggles to a Klonlike circuit: Gain (3-way clipping) and Punch (appears to be a DPDT swapping a resistor + adding red LEDs). The former is pretty straightforward, and the latter...

After spending a bit of time with the AquaBaby, I've decided to share my thoughts on the project and sound. The Good: The PCB and build doc are high quality, which I've come to expect from Madbean's projects This PCB specifically was green, which I prefer when/if I need to troubleshoot. It's...

I have a few VFE 'standard' pedals I'd like to build with some fancy graphics. They're the older design that Madbean sells. Using some of the methods described here, I attempted to plot out the drill guide. Can someone double check it for me? (Once this is figured out, I need to figure out how...

Hey, all. Analog modulation / delays are my Achilles heel, so I need some help here. The Problem: - The modulation does not work when I toggle it on.. sort of. The first repeat will be modulated if the delay is on when I flip the toggle. It does this in either direction (on or off). After...

Another build report! This time with a Muffin Factory, king of all.. muffins? I’m typically agnostic toward Muffs, finding them too compressed or else too bloated or fizzy. This project offers plenty of experimenting (obviously), so I viewed it as an opportunity to mix and match settings to...

Hey, guys. Instead of starting multiple threads or stealing someone else's thunder, I thought I'd drop a few build reports at once. I'll try not to wax too eloquently unless someone wants to discuss further! (see below for the photo pron) First: Low Tide Despite countless years of pedal...

Aloha. I just finished the Celsius Preamp last night, and it's a lot of fun with plenty of gain (volume) on tap! Preamps aren't typically my thing, but I've heard plenty of great feedback on the PastFX and Triungulo versions and decided to take a whack at it. The problem is, there's a ton off...

Hey-o. Here's one that's got me stumped.. I noticed that my Paragon Mini build bleeds a significant amount of signal in Overdrive mode with the Volume knob at minimum.. Both channels. It does not bleed signal in Distortion mode at all and only a tiny bit in Boost mode. If lug 1 of the Volume...

Last night I dug out a few old builds for some glamour shots, mostly to show off the really cool enclosures from a few great people: Monarch Enclosures (on Etsy) and Gear Ant (gearant.com). So without further ado and no more delay... Informant I've built a whole fleet of these since the...

Yo. I really should come around more often; y'all keep me inspired! Here's a pedal I finished up last night using a Zenith Mini PCB from GuitarPCB. It's been sitting in my parts bin for quite awhile, so I had Gear Ant make me a super sick enclosure and boxed it up! Mods - OPA2604 and a 1M Gain...

Well hello there.. Again. I thought I'd share another build I just finished because that is what we do here. :cool: A friend of mine who is visually impaired asked that I make him a 3-in-1, so several of the layout choices were made based on his needs. I think it turned out awesome! The...
