I like the Caboose overdrive. It sounds like the perfect pedal for your description.

Thanks everyone, I’ll roll with 3.7K

Hello! I’m looking forward to building the new Breakroom overdrive (Keeley 1962x). Looks straightforward enough outside of one thing. One resistor is labeled as 3K74. I’m fairly new to pedal building but I haven’t seen this before. Is it appropriate to use a 3.7K resistor, or would I need an...

Hello! I am looking to build my first two-in-one style overdrive pedal. I’m wanting to build a SRV “Texas blues” style pedal using a big 1590xx sized pedal. I’d like to to a TS808 (or variant) for the first pedal, then hitting a Dumble style preamp or amp in a box style pedal as the second...

Hello, I am building the Sproing deluxe. I have it all done and put together. Everything powers on, the tremolo side works perfectly. The LEDs work perfectly. The only issue is that the reverb is nonexistent. I hit the foot switch and the LED powers on just fine, but the control doesn’t do...

Thanks for the help, guys. I appreciate it!

Hello, I am sourcing parts for the Sproing Deluxe. This is my first non-overdrive build and it looks a little more involved. There are no build documents listed so I’m going off the board itself. A few questions: 1. It lists I need a L78L05. I linked Tayda below, is this the correct part for...

Yes they are similar, but the LaGrange is better IMO because there are more tone shaping options. The only downside is that they are well documented as being extremely unreliable. I haven’t had any issues with mine, thankfully.

You have great taste! I find that is the best amp out there for the price. Pretty much impossible to find anything hand wired at that price point.

Yeah I used a hand wired AC15 as my only amp. I don’t play out anymore, I just play at home. A good friend of mine has a Blues Junior and I played the Golden Falk through it. It turns that Fender into a very convincing Marshall. Based on your Deluxe Reverb, I think you will have similar results.

There were many good ones, but the great ones that stood out to me were the: -Colombo Plexi Breed -Bogner Lagrange -Zvex Box of Rock These three in particular have an amp like feel to them, in terms of touch dynamics and sag. I think they are the best ones out there, in my opinion.

I recommend this build if you are into MIAB style pedals. I’ve tried/owned just about every single one that’s come out over the past 20 years. What I really like about this one is the voicing switch. I find that some switches similar to this on other pedals don’t really do much. But here, it...

One thing I’m going to change is the knobs. I like the idea of the Marshall style ones, but the more I look at it they seem bulky and make the pedal look top-heavy from an aesthetic standpoint. I think I’m going to go with 15mm gold metal knobs (sames as the blue knobs in the picture, just a...

Hello! I just completed my third build, the PedalPCB Golden Falk. It’s based on the Colombo Plexi Breed. This is a fantastic pedal. I am quite picky on my Marshall style pedals and this is the best one I’ve tried. It has that amp like feel to it, not just the sound. The build was...

What wire do you use? Solid core? What gauge? I like how it stays in place and really looks like an elite build.

I had so much fun building this pedal, I made one for a friend. I decided to go with a crossroads motif instead of the “blues overdrive” lettering. Can’t decide which one I like more.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to look into that. And also Pure Tone jacks seem to have a “smaller” footprint inside the pedal than other jacks, that’s my only thought there lol.

Thanks, I just go slow and make sure everything is as nice as I can make it.

Hello all, I’ve recently completed my build of the Powder Blue overdrive pedal. This is my second ever pedal build. I am pleasantly surprised in how it turned out. My first pedal build was the Je T’aime which was a one-knob Marshall JTM clone. I figured I would try a more “involved” build this...
