I definitely haven't seen metallic black before... I have just the pedal for it in my next order. There have been a few champagne colors, but none that looked like that. I really like both of these.

This is a report on my build of the Poison Apple Auto-Wah, based on the Mad Professor Snow White. I wanted to build some pedals that weren't just overdrives and fuzzes, so I picked this up. Inspiration I liked the snow white name of the original pedal and wanted to play on that - and buntings...

Good catch. I've fixed the github page.

My 2024 favorites were the Dung Beetle, Low Tide Mini, Chop Shop, 6-Band Eq, FunBox. Any of these could easily be in my list this year, but many of them drifted off my board or didn't see as much use this year. We'll see if some make their way back. I think I built around 35 pedals this year...

1. The mix knob stays at the same volume for me until about 3:00, then gets louder. 2. I can't remember how I set them.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm a moderately heavy KiCAD user but had some FOMO that I was missing good tips on layout's impact on noise, preferred settings, useful hotkeys or plugins, etc. Glad to know I'm not missing anything.

Thanks everyone for the great advice! I brought in 3 pedals today. I ended up hot gluing the LEDs and soldering the transistor sockets (I wouldn't use sockets for pedals I knew I'd sell to begin with, but I built these before). I also signed the pedals on the inside back plate and really...

I might be selling some spare pedals at a local music store. I've only built pedals so far for my own use, and if they don't work or have a problem, I can always open em up and fix em. The last thing I want is for a pedal I sell to malfunction. I'm wondering if there's any final "touchup" you...

Yeah I figured that out, and maybe I should have used a SPDT in the layout. I'm not sure why the SPDT is more popular though. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm still relatively new to the pedal-building hobby, but RunOffGroove is one of the OG pedal sites, and I wanted to start laying out PCBs for some of their circuits. The Supreaux Deux is really nice. It's reelated to the JHS SuperBolt (based on the Supreaux, not the Deux). If you want to build...

This is my report on a build of the Magnetron Delay, in turn based on the Keeley Magnetic Echo. I saw this recommended in a few places, including the build report from @Erik S. I think this is my favorite PT2399 delay. Inspiration "Magnetron," "Magnetic Echo" - why not the "Magnificent"...

This is my report on a build of the Mid-Fi Clarinot, which I gotta say is one of the most unique analog circuits I think I've heard. It's some combination of delay/envelope filter/fuzz/etc. I saw it recommended on the forum at some point, and what a cool effect. Inspiration I spent a while...

Oh, that wasn't loading for me for some reason. Yes, you got the idea right.

I think there may be a translation problem for the colors (I wouldn't say there's any green in my image, but I think Japanese labels colors differently). But you probably got it right. The two ground planes or sheets are blue and red, and when both are present it's a faint purple color, which...

No, it means that they are connected. It's typical on PCB diagrams that ground is treated specially and not actually labeled, because a bunch of components will go to ground. If you have the circuit schematic you'll probably see these components, including the resistor, connected to ground...

As you can see, the ground is connected to the two audio jacks, the foot switch as the ground for the bypass LED, and the actual ground from the 9V jack. The PCB probably has a ground plane, connecting all the grounds together, and filling any empty space on the board, it's just not showing it...

This is my report on a build of the Sabbath Distortion, based on the Catalinbread Sabbra Cadabra. I'm a big fan of Black Sabbath, and this pedal was supposed to have the "Sabbath sound," which I think it does. Inspiration Straight off, I was thinking about metal birds for this pedal. Now...

I'm interested in laying out a PCB for this VCA pedal designed by Dylan159. However, there are two optional jacks. I'm curious what you all think would be the best way to include these as optional. Dylan159 built one of these pedals and it appears he omitted the jacks. It seems like basically...

I ordered one of the chrome green, got it about a week ago. No cracks so far...

This is my report on a build of the Kokko Distortion. I built this pedal after @Cybercow requested a PCB layout (he called it the 'Ratstortion'). This is maybe one of my most unusual pedals because it's a clone of a knockoff generic pedal brand (the $15 Temu-type pedals), which Cybercow found to...
