Hi, I build a leprechaun about a year ago and it worked fine for a while. Recently went to mod the exp control and I’ve been having the weirdest issue. Everything works fine and sounds chorused and woozy. And then it will stop the fx all together and just pass clean. I can get it to replicate...

Hi all, put together the Ocelot Octaver tonight and plugged it into the brand new Auditorium testing platform. When I plug it in, it turns on and the volume work, but neither octave works. I’m pretty sure I have version 1 so I did the IC mod of the legs per the instructions and soldered and...

I've been looking high and low for 20u electolytic caps and am not having much luck for the Twin Face. Will 22u work? The only 20u I can find are 300v or higher, which probably makes them too big to fit on the board. Any thoughts on if 20 vs. 22u is a deal breaker?

Hi all, built the Loon Tremolo and it sounds great. However, I went to swap out the LED colo for a customer and tore out one of the pads and the wire from the PCB. I managed to work the ring of the pad back around the leg of a new LED but it’s not working :( looking at the schematic LED 1(the...

Hi all, A few months back, I built my first order switcher/looper based on a schematic that was shared here. Works great to have 2 loops I can turn off and on and switch the order as well. The only downside is that this doesn't have any LED's or power as it is just the 3x 3PDT's wired to the...

This might be a dumb question, but do I need to use different power (I.e. 24v DC) when I switch from 9v to 24v on the Duocast. I wasn’t sure if that switch was just manipulating the power voltage internally or something you need to change power sources for. I ask because the right side (24v?)...

Hi folks, finally got the Duo-Phase up and running. LED’s for the LDR’s power on and I get signal, but it’s just totally distorted and sounds like a synth almost. I tried tweaking the trim pots to no avail to lower the gain. I’ve included photos of both sides of the board if anyone has any...

Hi all, Im building a double booster that is half SHO and half Amentum (EQD Arrows). I’d like to have a tone stack PCB for mid boost as well. I realized that my previous wiring up the tone stack after the Dboard of the Arrows meant that the Mid pot was always “on” regardless of the 3PDT for...

Well this is a first. Everything else works fine in this Amentum boost that’s a combo with a SHO and a tone pot. But I can’t get the LED to turn off and on. It just stays on. Weird. I assume it’s a ground issue. I tried retouching the GND leg from the PCB to the D-board on the 3PDT. Any other...

Working on a Boss OD clone and it’s asking for a MC3404 or I can also use RC3404. For the life of me I can’t find either of these online. I keep getting MC3403 and variants. Does that work? I can’t even find data sheets for the MC3404 but they’re both 14 pin chips, so I’m guessing they’re pretty...

I normally use a 2.1 DC jack that is the “standard” size. See on the right in the pictures below. What you’d get from Tayda. I’ve bought the Lumberg style DC jacks (On the left) from PedalPCB so it would 1) fit his pre-drilled enclosures 2) allow me to use the 3in1 DC board to power multi...

Hello all, completed the Leprechaun. I get the same bypass signal in both on and bypass. The Magin button is working and going nuts when I turn it on, so it’s the main fx signal path not working. when I run a audio probe, I get to the last pot (Tone/Regeneration) it can hear the pitch and...

After unable to fix the envelope filter, I had to shake it off and get my groove back. This was a fun project that was a request from a buddy of mine. A combined Kliché Mini and FV1 delay squeezed into to box. My friend actually uses this with his acoustic guitar so it is fun to see these pedals...

Put it together tonight and fired it up. It turns on, LED works, bypass is fine. But when on, there’s a lot of gain and distortion coming through that certain isn’t part of it. You do hear the squish of the envelope filter, but it’s heavily distorted. here’s a couple gut shots. Any suggestions...

This thing sounds wild. It takes a couple minutes to warm up all the transistors. When I first turn it on I get nothing, then a spit, then a roar of fuzz. The fasel inductor does make a nice Q tone that you can sweep. It is a very harsh, gated style fuzz, so beware. At least it looks really...

Built these 2 bad boys the last week. The copper enclosures are great. They hide any scratch and ding very well while drilling. Both pedals sound totally killer. The Thermionic is a great 2-channel Marshall sound in a box. Meanwhile, the Emu amp simulator has a ton of versatility in a single...

I built the D3lay a couple years ago, which runs on a FV-1 platform. I swap out various EEPROM’s. The signal is always very quiet when maxed out volume regardless of the wet/dry mix value. I later built the USB version of the FV-1. I noticed the level problem is totally solved now and I no...

Built this one on January first and forgot to share! First pedal of 2020. This is another super simple fuzz. I’m always on the search for the worlds greatest fuzz. Or at least another one to build lol Another nice little Velcro-fuzz. The Fuzz knob gives you some range of thickness. Anywhere...

This one sounds super crazy fuzz. It has no pots, just the on switch and an LED. Despite this, it has a massive amount of dynamic range. When gently picking an open C chord, if create almost ring mod like overtones. When you crush a power chord, it has a massive gated, Velcro zipper sound to it...

I built the propolis and powered it on. It makes noise, but clearly not enough. It sounds both quieter than bypass and also not enough gain. There’s some spit there, but like level 1 of 10. I did a signal test and the signal goes all the way through the components. Am I to assume the culprit is...
