Trying to use a relay bypass for the first time in an Acrylic Overdrive (Wampler Plexi Drive) pedal I was putting together. The relay reliably turns on the effect but it has trouble turning it off/bypassing the effect. I'm trying to narrow down the issue before I just rip it out and just go with...

Just finished this build this week, and absolutely love this pedal. Had never played a KoT circuit in person (I'm about 3 years down the list on Analogman's waitlist), but I understand why people love this circuit. Definitely a keeper for my board. What do you think of blue and cream knobs...

I am putting together a Paragon Mini, and decided to try the Paragon mods documented by @ckaudioeffects in this very helpful thread. Here's the Google Drive link they included in that post, laying out the mods on the "standard" Paragon PCB. I compared the schematics and identified the relevant...

On a roll building some pedals lately. Just put together a Nugget Fuzz (Cornish NG-2). Graphics inspired by Canadian generic grocery store brand No Name, whose labels are hilariously deadpan descriptors of the product in lowercase Helvetica in English and French. I socketed the germanium...

A couple of time-based PT2399 effects for my latest builds: Magnetic Flux Tape Delay (Magnetron / Keeley Magnetic Echo) and Blue Sky Reverb (Gravitation / EQD Levitation Reverb). Super happy with how both of these came out in terms of sound and the graphics/enclosures/knobs. Pretty smooth build...

I have a Caesar chorus I put together several months ago. To my relief, it worked first try and this has been my favorite build so far- I love how this circuit sounds. However, it crapped out on me recently. First the effect got noisy, distorted, and weak, and then stopped working entirely. I...

Hi all, I just built a Minnow (Maestro FSH-1) and am getting really pronounced ticking from the LFO in Sample/Hold mode whether bypassed or not. I've read around about how other people have addressed the issue in this pedal and others with LFOs, so I have routed the output wire that would...

I recently finished my SuperHeterodyne Receiver build, and thought I'd share a few things that could help others and save some time. I used the Tayda printing and drilling services with a 1590XX enclosure, but I couldn't seem to find the coordinates for the holes to be drilled. The drilling...

I built an Abyss (The Depths) several months ago and it's been on my pedalboard since. I've had a problem come up all of a sudden I haven't experienced before. I lose a whole lot of treble when I switch the effect on. It's like I've put a blanket over the speaker or turned my guitar's tone all...

A couple new builds I finished recently that I’m really enjoying. I’ve started using Tayda’s UV printing service and been really happy with the results. There’s a bit of a learning curve with prepping the files in Illustrator but the printed enclosures come out looking great. Had some fun with...

This is a minor thing, but I noticed something on the Trembling Loon product page. Generally, the controls listed in the Description match the order of controls from left to right and top to bottom on top exterior of enclosure. However, the controls are in a different order on the product page...

Just finished this and love it! This is my third pedal build and first from Pedalpcb. Altogether a pretty straightforward build (at least once I tracked down an A25k pot!). Guts aren’t the neatest but everything worked first try. Nice and spacious board layout, though the A25k pot pads are a...
