The Mos-Tron Envelope Filter Where it came from... I've wanted to try an envelope filter like the Mu-Tron III or similar for a bit and came across this post by Dyaln159 on freestompboxes.org when browsing. What is it... It's an interesting take on the envelope detection and control circuit in...

The Carbon Summit Overdrive Where it came from... As previously stated, If you're unfamiliar with our resident circuit guru, @Chuck D. Bones, you're missing out. His forum sub-section contains a wealth of information and some very tastefully thought-out circuits/mods. The Carbon Summit is my...

Scenario Preamp What is it... At it's heart, the Scenario Preamp is a Timmy variant with a buffered input that drives the clean blend and soft-clipping stages in parallel. The soft-clipping arrangement is slightly different from the Timmy and it uses buffered Vref supplies. Is all of that...

Raymond Overdrive What is it... Based on the Vemuram Jan Ray Overdrive Paul Cochrane's Timmy Overdrive. Modifications... No changes. Sounds It sounds pretty good. It's not my favorite drive pedal by any stretch, but I understand its appeal. There are other Timmy variants that I think add a...

The Dirt Doctor Overdrive What is it... Based on the Barber Gain Changer SR. Modifications... Minor changes from stock. I replaced the fixed resistors in the recovery stage with trim pots so Mids and Bass were adjustable instead of fixed. Sounds I've always loved the Gain Changer, Mr. David...

The first in the installment of "don't build shit for a while, then build a lot of shit all at once..." series. The Celestial Screamer Where it came from... If you're unfamiliar with our resident circuit guru, @Chuck D. Bones, you're missing out. His forum sub-section contains a wealth of...

Template for the Big Noise Amplification CowPoker (@Chuck D. Bones MOSFET Driver Redux): https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=WDRPY3daK1hpdTRJWEgvckNaRUhYZz09Cg== Something to note: When I originally ordered an enclosure with this drill template, I placed the toggle switch in...

Tested and working template for the Big Noise Amplification Mountain Oyster Boost (@Chuck D. Bones FET/Germanium Boost): https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=TzV4Z3gzRk1PSVN0dVM0SVJVOVc3dz09Cg== As used with this build report...

This is the final build in this frenzy of build reports. The General Tso Compressor is one that gets a lot of positive talk here and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I'll be the first to admit that I'm weird about compressors. I see the utility in having them but I rarely like the...

The final build report for the set of @cooder boards that were generously sent by @fig and designed by @Chuck D. Bones. From what I understand, this one is a modified Buffalo TDX which is a MOSFET adaptation of the BK Butler Tube Driver. I designed my graphics as a tribute to the aesthetics of...

Another board that was generously sent to me by @fig! Thank you to @Chuck D. Bones (circuit design), @cooder (PCB design), and @fig (for the logistics). I have very little experience (so far) with germanium transistors so I wasn't sure what to expect with this one other than a boost. It's so...

Another fantastic overdrive! I've wanted to try this one for a long time after seeing the TPS episode with Matt Schofield. First impressions of the pedal are great. This one has a very powerful eq and allows much more bass than your typical overdrive. I still have to spend more time with it but...

This board was generously sent to me by @fig along with a couple others (those build reports will be soon to follow). Thank you to @Chuck D. Bones (circuit design), @cooder (PCB design), and @fig (for being such an awesome, generous dude!). The board is a bit tight and I had to get creative...

Build went together very smoothly thanks to the wonderful layout and spacious PCB. I typically stick to Tayda's UV printing service, but decided to try @amplifyfun for a laser-engraved faceplate on this one and I'm very happy that I did. Spencer was wonderful to work with and delivered ahead of...

I just created this Tayda drill template based on the document that @Robert uploaded (see attached). It "should" work but it has not yet been verified. 1/13/23 Edit: @innerlight has confirmed the template with an adjustment to the drill sizes for the rotary switches. The linked template now...

Hello everyone! I built this up a couple of weeks ago and things were working although the compression seemed a little lackluster and the LED was godawfully bright (can we just agree that super bright LEDs are criminal? :ROFLMAO: ). I decided to do a couple of things to try to improve both of...

Another great board by the folks here at PedalPCB. If you dig tube screamers, this variant offers a little more versatility and sounds pretty good too. I'm not sure that it lives up to the hype that this pedal gets but I'm sure that many will find it useful. The enclosure is Matte Army Green...

Overall, I'm very happy with this one! The enclosure came out so much better than expected and I'm glad I decided to give Tayda's Matte Black Sand another go. This is two passes of white, one pass of color (using Roland VersaWorks color swatch for the green), and gloss varnish. I think it came...

I used a Tayda 125B in Ball Silver with their UV printing service. Single-pass white, color, and gloss varnish on top. My experience with the Ball Silver finish from Tayda: It's delicate. You can see in the image where things like rubber-faced clamps (I used during drilling) left visible and...

Went together without a hitch and worked on the first go. This is a nice-sounding, but very subtle compressor. The enclosure used for this project is a Tayda Matte Black Sand 125B (undrilled) using Tayda's UV printing service with a double pass of white and a gloss varnish over all of the...
