I like to do this from time to time if I'm doing a combo build and I want to hide some of the controls internally. Has anyone come up with a clever way of fitting the trimmer to the spaced 16mm PCB mount pot holes that isn't just putting a wire out to the 3 legs? I'm looking for something a...

Just built the m800 and it sounds pretty good... a little dark. Biased the J201s (guaranteed authentic by GuitarPCB) to 4.5v other than the tone trimmer which I did by ear. What’s odd is that at low gain settings it gets a little spitty like a fuzz. Is this expected? Any ideas? There’s not any...

Hey all, We've had some seriously long discussions around here about one-off UV printing using Tayda's printing service. While I do like Tayda's service and options, meeting their file requirements and using their drill service options can be difficult and take some time. The need for companies...

The Unison version of the Pythagoras rules. This is the first time I’ve tried that eeprom and it is so weird and makes so many cool sounds, but at subtle levels it seriously sweetens things up. We’re all suffering from FV-1 withdrawals so here’s a little taste…

Hey all, Working on something for a friend and they basically want the most gnarly over the top grimy distortion so I’m trying to figure out what that might be. I know the Arkaim is prettttty thick and intense. Anything else that anyone can think of? Basically I want it to sound broken and...

Here’s a hand drawn Metasonix TM-7 schematic. Don’t know if anyone wants anything to do with this tube effect, but here ya go!

Been a while since I did a build report, but this one turned out cool enough to share. I didn’t mod the Amentum for bass, just left it as is and it sounds great! Had to squeeze everything into the 1590BB so the Amentum is mounted sideways. Themed for the Miami Dolphins for a friend. For the...

Hey all, I'm working on a build with an LT1054 which works as a charge pump to get me from 9v to 18v (as far as I understand). This build calls for a 13v Zener diode, but the largest value I have is 12v. Would using a 12v be acceptable? Or is it possible to link a 12v and a 3v in series to make...

Just confirming, would this be resolved with the non-latching simple relay? https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb393/

Anyone aware of an alternative to this board (since it's sold out)? I don't want to do a standard resistance-based blend, since those always allow a little bit of dirty signal through. I want this type of blend, where it sends the signal you don't want to ground. A vero or stripboard layout...

Dual Pythagoras (D3lay and Threeverb eeproms) build. I love these algorithms and the way they work together so why not box em up as a dual pedal, delay into verb? Turned out even cooler sounding than I’d hoped, and when you turn on the space delay mode and let that run away into the shimmer verb...

Anyone know of any companies making a Metal Zone clone PCB?

I’ve had this board for a while and I finally got around to making it. Decided to go with the blacked out theme with a nice Gorva enclosure and black knobs/stamps. I didn’t have 2n3903s so I did some searching and found that the 2222As sounded good, so that’s what you’re hearing here. Also...

Hey all, I've tried a few different things with this, and all have failed for one reason or another. I just want to add a blend to a Promethium. If I use the Promethium board alone (no blend mod), it sounds and works great. I've tried the GuitarPCB Buff n' Blend, but it oscillates. No...

Welp. This thing is ridiculous. Built for a friend of mine and featuring The Hansons from Slapshot, it's a real party. He wanted it to be a cascading fuzz/distortion effect, so with all 3 on it's just gnarly, but if he only wanted to use one, he could turn the others off and there'd be no...

Hey all, just thought I'd share these. Here are the RDG_White and RDG_Gloss swatches for Affinity so you can use them for Tayda UV Printing. You'll need to import them from the Swatches section of Designer (you can find this under View>Studio). Click the menu button (four little lines) on the...

For circuits that need a transformer, like the Bit Commander, does the printed P on the transformer always align with the P on the PCB? Googling "transformer polarity" for guitar pedals seems to only return stuff about pedal power supplies.

This thing is awesome! Knobs are boring anyways. Super buzzy fuzz, but also thick and strong like a Floor record. Built this for a friend but I might have to build my own now. Used Tayda PN2222s which worked out fine.

Someone mentioned on another platform that it's not a good idea to solder transistors into their sockets once I've committed to my choices. This is what I've always done, but apparently the heat can be bad for them. I don't do this for ICs since the sockets seem very secure, but I wouldn't feel...

I’ve built a couple of these, but never really been happy with how one turned out until now. Matched the forward voltage on each set of diodes (1n34a, and D9Ks) since I saw someone here mention that was a good idea. Used a GuitarPCB sourced LM308. Enclosure print via Tayda’s service which turned...
