I'm bread boarding the Triad fuzz and the schematic calls for BC548As in Q1-Q3. The pinout is labelled backwards I think. Can someone confirm this? Thanks.

Well I took the Plecostomus fuzz that I tested on my protoboard and made a layout using DIYLC. It was a super fun puzzle experience. I decided to make it challenging by fitting it all onto a 17x19 piece of strip board. After about a day of doing the layout ( I finally surrendered and just...

Two things here: built the ProtoBoard, and my first successful circuit on a breadboard. Wasn't as hard as I thought, but it's a fairly simple circuit. Sounds very nice. Sorry for the crappy pic, but it's just a humble brag post anyway. Thanks to everyone who answered my questions about...

I'm almost done boxing up a General Tso. While testing components I noticed that the green LEDs I have are very dim. Worried that the cheap green LEDs weren't up to the job I checked the data sheets. I bought the LDRs from Tayda (KE10720), which are a little off spec from what the build docs...

Total noob here: I'm getting ready to order a few components to build the General Tso's Compressor. On all the pedals I've built to date (3 to be exact), I've always used box film capacitors where possible. In the build docs for this pedal it shows a larger than usual cap at C2, C3, C10 and...

This is my first post on this forum and I want to start by saying how cool this community is. I'm brand new to building guitar pedals and am excited to get into this cool hobby. Demystifying these devices that have intrigued me for years has been very gratifying! That said, I was wondering if...
