Well, this is my most ambitious breadboard. For new breadboard bakers: Don’t get discouraged when your board doesn’t work. This is a monster with 7 pots, 3 different voltages, 2 IC’s, and 4 transistors. And it was crippled by a missing jumper and an out of place resistor leg. Just walk...

I finally got around to finishing this one, and all I can say is the Mojo is real. The sound stays full and warm as you raise the gain. The boost is really good. It seems integrated like it’s supposed to be there, as opposed to an afterthought. It goes from booster to warm OD to Dopesmoker...

I know I’ll never sling the Posca pens like our friend @jjjimi84, but I can’t stop laughing at this pedal. Not much to add about the build that hasn’t been said in other threads. Went together smoothly. I did use the optional LEDs

I’ve been fiddling with filters lately and I don’t own a phaser (weird, right?). So I thought, “These are big and complicated. That probably means they’re the best.” Well, they are definitely complicated! Artwork is Tayda UV printing with gloss. I used Inkscape for design and Scribus for...

While auditioning clipping diodes, I realized it is more efficient and fun to take the time to setup some switches instead of manually swapping them in / out of the breadboard. In the picture below, the 2 switches are spdt on-off-on. The blue wires are feeding the switch from the op amp...

This is an older build, complete with: 1. Part selection that was too large and had to be jammed/bent into place 2. Melted cap corners 3. General janky soldering and assembly But it is a beast! The boards are Aion Osiris, so the Pharaoh side was straight forward. The Ultrastoner needed...

I had not seen these before, has anyone used them on a Pedalpcb board? The data sheet looks close if not identical to the adafruit 2925. https://www.taydaelectronics.com/mini-rotary-switch-1-pole-8-position-alpha-rs16211-20mm.html I’ll grab a few in my next order to check out. So far, I’ve...

One last build squeezed in before the end of the year. I built this one without the charge pump, since I have an 18v outlet available. Functions fine on 9v also. I’ve only run it through my practice amp, but so far I like it. It breaks up right at the tail end of the gain knob. Tomorrow...

Well, not really a question but a data point. Threads in this forum typically reference rating your caps at 2x the supply voltage. I just popped a 100uf 25v electrolytic cap when plugged into an 18v power supply. So now I have to clean the smoke and goo out of the pedal and look for a 35v...

Thanks to @JamieJ. I stole the dry switch idea from his build report, even the placement of the switch. Mod discussion is in this thread: Thread 'Hydra Modifications Thread' https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/hydra-modifications-thread.8805/ I immediately like the pedal better with the...

Do you power with a 9V battery or a wall adapter? Is there concern of frying the adapter due to a short in the breadboard circuit? I see the protoboard uses a polyswitch. I assume the purpose is to protect the power supply. Are they fast enough to prevent damage? I tried googling and found...

This one is based on Black Arts Toneworks Quantum Mystic It is essentially a DOD250 with active tone controls. The board has a toggle for clipping: GE diodes, LED, or no diodes. For GE, I used 1N270's from pedalhacker, which aligns with the BAT pedal. It is a beast! I had to force myself...

I want to remove the charge pump from the Powersound Overdrive and use an 18V powersupply. Do I just remove the charge pump circuit circled in red, leaving me with a standard power input section? (Like the second picture that I took from the Muffin build doc). Seems straight forward. Am I...

I searched, but a lot of the Tayda sourcing threads are a bit old. Do you guys use Tayda for IC's? For example, the links below are for a 4558 at Tayda and Mouser. It appears to be the same part, $0.29 at Tayda and $0.69 at Mouser...

I’ve soldered four J201 successfully. But I’m hesitant to order a FV-1 instead of just waiting until PedalPCB can supply pre-soldered boards (a million years from now??). The toughest step on the small parts was keeping it aligned until the first leg was done. Some of them were slightly...

My pedal is very loud. Unity is with the IN and OUT barely cracked open. If I put them at 9 o’clock, the volume increase launches me into the next room. Tone wise, it sounds correct. It is just ridiculously loud. Does anyone have a same or different experience? **Edit: The picture below...

I built a Sea Horse with @Chuck D. Bones mods: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/sea-horse-mods.5162/ The pedal functions correctly. Silent in bypass, silent when ON and not playing. But when I play a note, there is a static or white noise sound along with the repeats. I've read that...

I'm looking to order the pcb and source the parts for a Deflector. I wanted to make sure I know what I'm getting into, as it is my first FV-1 / EEPROM build. From what I can tell, the build is straight forward given: I'll order the FV-1 pre-soldered with the PCB, to avoid having to source and...
