Does the location of C8 vs. C7 (before or after R6) make a difference? I'm putting this circuit together using a Tone Vendor Mkii board and it's pads match the signal path for C7 here. I had the circuit breadboarded and built it following the C8 path, but have since taken it apart as I started...

I’m looking at tickets to an upcoming concert and have no idea to which to choose (I’m used to going to far smaller venues without set seating). Most of what I would intuitively think are good seats seem to be taken. Does anybody have any insights into the options here? Green = orchestra Red...

I remember seeing a build report of a Big Muff using a PCB that was rectagular and the silk screen differentiated between each stage of the circuit. However, I can’t find it in the Build Reports. Has anyone seen this PCB?

I'm playing around with a fuzz circuit and attempted to put together a Sziklai pair. I'm getting signal and it's fuzzy. However, I looked down at the breadboard today and realized that what I have hooked up is not at all what I intended, nor does it match my schematic. It's more than just upside...

This started out fun and ended up being a bit stressful, especially with how busy life has been lately. Either way it's done and operating properly now! Some time ago, I tried a Manhattan style circuit after seeing it on the Parasit blog and it was not terribly successful. This time around the...

I'm putting together the Axial Fuzz from Effects Layouts and have an old enclosure with a two knob setup ready to use. I usually just have the fuzz control maxed out on fuzz pedals, so I thought it would be sensible to drop that pot and keeping the Level and Filter controls. I'll put the...

I was looking around at different Fuzzrite clones and came across the Daredevil Real Cool Fuzz. It sounds great and seems close to original (Si/Ge aside). I'm confused about the resistors though. In a pic I found, four of the resisitors look to be 47k. On the PPCB schematic those resistors would...

I managed to finish this up on Friday, but didn't post it do to a lack of time and being convinced something was wrong with with the high cut. Turns it out it is working perfectly, I just have no idea how to use an EQ pedal :rolleyes:. Once I tried out the suggested settings on Spaceman site, it...

Finally finished it this afternoon. I've had it up and running for a while, but it's been sitting on the shelf as I had get a deeper enclosure for it. The lamp was too tall for the 1590BB I had ready and painted. It ended up being a blessing in disguise as the paint job didn't match the...

I'm gathering parts for the Equilux and realized that I have a pack of ferrite beads from Electronic Goldmine. I have no idea what possessed me to order them in the first place as this was before the Equilux came out. My sense is that they should work fine, but I want to check...

After posting my 2-in-1 Super Stevie+Red Herring build, I decided to take a peak in some of my older builds and was pleasantly surprised! They aren't perfect by any measure, but still not quite as messy as my memory had me believe. I'd say it's a testament to the great layouts by @PedalPCB and...

Since the beginning of the pandemic, I've built a number of pedals. All but one has worked and I've been having a great time. I haven't posted any as most of them are pretty ugly on the inside, but this one is by far my cleanest build to date. I wanted something to get a solid SRV-esque tone -...

When dialed in low the distortion seems smooth, but above noon it gets gated and notes have a strange decay to them. I didn't think to record a soundclip before I started taking things apart to troubleshoot. The only problem that is standing out to me is R101 looks to be the incorrect value (is...
