Got the Shrapnel, based on the Gunshot OD, and was just curious about the unusual LED footprint. Are they supposed to be a special type of LED or would the usual 3mm/5mm red LEDs be used here? The spacing is a bit weird too compared to the normal LED footprint. Any thoughts are appreciated!

So I've been playing around with the Rat circuit a bunch lately and have found I really like the sound with germanium clippers. The only thing is, it drops the volume quite a bit with how hard it's clipping. Would it be possible to tweak things around a bit with the JFET buffer to instead act...

This seems like a lot of fun! http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2019/11/dusky-electronics-hypatia.html?m=1

Really happy with how this one turned out! It's a classic rat with a sweet LM208, tantalum caps, and a 3way clipping switch (1n4148s, red LEDs, bat41 & bat41-1n4148 for asymmetrical). The asymmetrical sounds especially fantastic and is something I'd recommend to try if you haven't already. In...

Just wrapped this thing up using the SMD 4393's and for whatever reason, unity volume is with the knob at max. I believe it sounds like it should, gainy and Marshally, but is just more quiet than I'd like. I'm guessing it might be something around R17, Q5, or the volume pot. Anyone else have any...

Was just thinking about this pedal and thought a PCB would be fun! http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2012/06/fulltone-plimsoul.html?m=1

Was doing a bit of reading on the LM308 and came across this. I'm a huge fan of Drolo's pedals and own a couple of them, but I would love to be able to build one of these up! It's something like a mix of a Foxx Tone Machine and a modified Rat...

Was just thinking that this would be a fun build to try out a ring mod.

This is the Pandora's Box built with a diode toggle mod (silicon, no clipping, and red LEDs) for different levels of compression and flavor. I honestly didn't know what to expect from this one but the unusual circuit design really intrigued me. All I can say is WOW! Wonderful tonal response and...

Just had an idea! What if you make a double footswitch board where one is an effect bypass with the 4 connections, and the other a boost circuit. Maybe a SHO or something low parts count. Have the boost level set with an internal trimmer. Maybe have a slide switch to set the order? Let me know...

Was just thinking this could come in handy as a separate board for some builds. Might be cool to have something that allows you to put a regulator or something on there too to have multiple options for voltages. Or maybe even something like the Deofol and have a 9v/18v toggle at the flick of a...

So I was just thinking about this as I'm wanting to build up the Buzzaround. There are 4 pots and I'm not quite sure which ones are which while waiting on the build docs. Do you think it could be possible to include the potentiometer labels on the silkscreen on the underside? Might be a nice...

Just wrapped up the Spirit Box and really like the sound, except it seems to be a bit quiet. Would increasing R4 or replacing it with a 25k trimmer help me get the output volume just right? I think that's how this circuit works but I'd like to check with the knowledgeable folks here before I...

So I've built a bunch of projects from here but am pretty new to the forum.... Figured it was time to show off some of my favorite ones so far! First up is the Mach 1 (Greer Lightspeed). I built one of these for a friend and liked it so much I had to build a 2nd for myself. It's pretty low...

Been building tons of PCB based projects and decided it's time to try out breadboarding and experimenting with circuits. This ProtoBoard seems perfect but I can't seem to find the BOM or build documents for it. Also, any recommendations on some of the hardware pieces would be much appreciated...
