    Crate V33 head powering issue (gut shots included)

    This is a "fun" side thing for anyone who might have some insight or is interested in helping. As usual I will call upon the great and powerful @vigilante398 since he is our resident tube/amp/all things high voltage guy! My nephew has a Crate V33 head. Its not the higher end made in USA ones...

    Behringer Ultra Octaver UO-100

    I was gifted a Behringer UO-100 as a late Christmas gift. It’s fine on its own, but it sure would be fun to mod and possibly rehouse. What would you do?

    I bought a HiFi amp PCB and I want to make it a guitar amp

    I was browsing eBay (after a few beers) and decided to buy an EF86 EL34 SE amp board. I am sure that I could use a preamp into it and it would sound good, but I think it might be more fun to build it as a guitar amp. I am still learning about reading schematics, so I am hoping to get my...

    9v to 24v?

    Does anyone know of any charge pump boards that step up 9v to 24 v other than the GGG Charge RTS boards? I am working on the Vandall From Hell project from PCB Guitar Mania. It says it can run on 18v or 24v. I like the GGG board because I can make an output for 18v or 24v and test both.

    Guitar Wiring Question

    Hey friends! I have been off the forum for a while and for that matter, I have not built a pedal in quite a while. I am still playing guitar and I have been thinking about modding my Fender Duo Sonic HS. The main modification I want to do is convert the push/pull from coil splitting to...

    Comparing 2 versions of the DRV (Informant)

    Hey all, It's been a while since I've posted and almost as long since I've built a pedal. I recently picked up a Tracksuit from Effects Layouts which is their take on the DRV. I was looking and comparing it to the Informant that PedalPCB makes and I noticed that the PedalPCB version has a 2.2m...

    I want to build a Roboto... in a Gameboy

    A friend of mine gave me his original non-functioning Gameboy and asked if I could turn it into a pedal. I think it would be cool to build the Roboto in it. I think I can work out installing the electrolytic capacitors sideways but I'm not sure if I need to use smaller pots. Or where I should...

    250 Distortion op amp options

    I haven't been able to track down either an LM741 or LF351N from the places I normally buy from. Has anyone tried anything else? Or know if a good place to get them? Thanks!

    Tayda drill coordinates for Kliche?

    Just wondering if anyone has the Kliche mapped out for the Tayda drilling service in a 1590BB/1590BB2 enclosure?

    Luxury 763 gain question

    After doing some reading on this one, I see that it is basically a Timmy with a few value changes. It is also basically the same as the Lovepedal OD11 and Amp11 (minus the boost). Anyway, a few years ago I played the Lovepedal brownface Deluxe (white enclosure, 4 knobs) and it was much lower...

    Blues Breakers and Glory Holes and Paupers.. oh my!

    Okay, so I was recently looking into building a blues breaker inspired circuit. I have owned a couple and all have been a little different. I currently have a Nux Morning Star which is suppose to be a JHS Morning Glory and in the past I have owned a Snouse Blackbox v1. Upon doing some research...

    So, someone gave me a malfunctioning RAT 2

    They told me I can keep it and fix it and mod it. So, I plugged it in to see what was happening. The LED comes on and there is sound. It is very very low in volume and the volume pot doesn't appear to have any affect. The distortion and filer controls seem to work. I am wondering if this would...

    "Amp-like"

    This is a hype word that is thrown around a lot when it comes to describing a pedal. I myself, am a man of science. So, has anyone found an overdrive, distortion, or preamp pedal that works we'll directly into a power amp (effects loop return or stand alone power amp)? I understand that...

    Can't remove back of enclosure?

    I built a Timmy/Tommy for a buddy of mine and its having some intermittent issues. He gave it back to me and I cannot get the back to come off of it! Anyone have any tips that would help and also not have me destroy the back of the enclosure?

    Guitar wiring question

    So, I've had my Fender Duo Sonic HS for a few years now. It's my main guitar. I'm going to be doing some small upgrades to it (new nut, saddles, pickguard, and wiring harness). I have the original wiring diagram but there are a couple of mods that I want to do: A treble bleed and the PRS coil...

    DRV

    This one is from Effects Layouts. They have the relay built into the board. It was pretty fun to do. I got the Tayda drill temp wrong and had to drill alternatives for the in and out jacks. Worked out!

    Light Land (Effects Layout Lightspeed/Southland)

    I got this board from Effects Layouts and built it to Lightspeed specs and crammed it into a 1590B enclosure.

    Sea Lion (Walrus Deep Six Compressor)

    This one gave me some issues and the board isn't as neat as I would like but it turned out pretty okay overall. The charge pump board was weird too but @PedalPCB was a true bro and set me correct. Now let's hope I can sell it 😬

    This but without footswitches...

    Does any one have a layout that would work for this? I don't need footswitches or LEDs. Just set to the Y setting? ABY Looper
