Got a bunch of stuff from a old radio/tv repairman retiring. Lots of silicon transistors and diodes and some germanium as well. But also some IC's Notably..metal can LM308H's! 38 of 'm to be precise. Look like National Semiconductor brand. Are these the "mojo" ones for a RAT? Most have same...

So... Sometimes I build a pedal and envision a certain look/ aesthetic / layout. If using a pedalpcb that's not laid out the way in which I need it to be, I try to make it work. Examples: Pandora in a 1590bb on it's side with @Chuck D. Bones bass pot mod: A Powder Blues pcb on it's side in...

Got a OCD 1.4 in a trade last week which I planned to sell fast considering the recent prices on retar... reverb.com. Plugged it in to make sure it's in good working order. Sounded great! Better than my previous 1.4 I had. Opened it, and saw a few mods. The obvious most common one: germanium...

Build the clandestine preamp last night, and while testing it (not boxed yet), it emits a high oscillating pitch. This occurs in every setting even with the volume all the way off. Everything is correct regarding values, wiring and solderflow on the pads. Even tried the in/output wires with...

I own both the originals, a Lightspeed and Blues Power, but always build a pedalPCB version just to compare. ( and even have sold some originals because my builds did better 😅) Difference in sounds is always minimal between the originals vs the pedalpcb's. Dialling in the Blues Power I heard a...

What happened to the Gladio post? There were some gutshots in that thread but the whole thread is gone now?

Just finished my shrapnel pcb and testing it. Sounds awesome! But comparing it with my original thorpy gunshot circuitboard I found out the thorpy has an additional (2nd) 9v zener in the circuit that the shrapnel hasn't got. They sound similar but that has me wondering how essential, and what...

In the past year I've build a pedalpcb Pyrocumulus, Mach1, Duocast and expecting the Shrapnel next week. Still want the Southern belle too, but not available yet at musikding. (I'm in the Netherlands so Klaus is my go to for Pedalpcb products) Here's the thing: I had a thorpy Fallout Cloud...

How essential is it to have all electrolytic caps in the Duocast rated at 35+ volts? Are there any that don't require that rating? Especially the 330uf. And is it possible to modify the charge pump to 18v? By removal of a 5817 ? Noob.. i know..

Would love a 3 knob Mosferatu pcb, the ones alfredo build mid 2000's. It seems to be a real lead machine with harmonics you can almost taste if i have to believe the clips on the net.

just found a little NOS treasure with a bunch of philips bc107b's and mustard/tropical fish caps/radial Electrolytes. Need some inspiration and suggestions for something to build with them.

Right, after wima'ing my original greer lightspeed last night, I had this brainfart. 'Why do I like this pedal so much?' And why do I like that one, and those ones. Then it hit me.. could it be related to frequencies? In other words, could these pedals be close to each other in frequency range...

Well.. it happened! As much as I like vero/perfboard, I am now switching to pcb. Here my first PPCB build, a Pyrocumulus. Love this thing, I never owned a Muff style pedal and thought this might be a good option. Didn't disappoint! Yes, "au naturel" aluminium box, I'm not as creative as some of...
