Okay last one for a bit…maybe 😂 This is based on Chuck’s schematic, with the simple relay bypass daughter board precariously close to the switch haha (there’s a gap I swear). Used a transistor for the diode and an old AC127 I salvaged. Sounds mean as hell, I love it. The pictures came out pink...

This has been a few years in the making. I built most of the board before I lost some steam (and useable work space ugh) and took a break. Finally came back to it, used @Big Monk recommended mods, dremel’d a damn hole in the box and here we are 😂 (the dremel skipped on me once or twice but I...

GORVA EVERYTHING I dunno about everyone stateside, but Gorva enclosures are 6 bucks cheaper than Hammond stuff from DigiKey and mouser so 🤷‍♂️ haha

One of the most straightforward builds (besides modding and tinkerin with the LDR/LED combos) I’ve done in the last week. Forgot I had this enclosure already drilled waiting for a 3 knob build from a year or two ago lol. I didn’t really feel like drilling a hole for the rate LED so I shoved a...

Anybody successfully remove one of these bad boys? It’s from the dead pot of a Wilson Ten Spot II. Got the replacement but it has no gear and it’s a round shaft pot, nobody seems to make a round shaft pot gear and I don’t really want to dremel it into a D shaft. Things I have tried: Soaking it...

Not PedalPCB builds, but fuzzdog mini death and an HM-2 mini board from my buddy Alec at Mask Audio Electronics. This essentially replaces the boost section of the Life pedal with a blendable HM-2 EQ section/boost.

Lasers away! Bears and Escher this round. Only hiccup was sorting FETs for the Softii, but I dig the sounds out of that thing for sure.

I’ll be posting a fair bit more now that I have a laser :D

First out the gate with the new Laser set up. Also finally settled on a company name so I made some commemorative coasters haha.

So I finally got around to plugging in my FV-1 Development board, all systems go there (computer recognizes it, can read the IC, deflector.bin boots up just fine etc). So I download a few spinasm files from github and load the project into SpinASM IDE, hit build, status states Build Complete...

Intended to build this as a full on rock mode for my little Marshall Origin 5 and it does the job exceptionally well! Finish is just ink transfer and couple coats of polyurethane.

This time with regular components. If I find the time I’ll make a comparison video with this and the carbon comp/wima cap version.

Decked out with silly expensive components for your pleasure! :D Not sure about those knobs just yet.

A buddy asked me to build him one of these and asked for graphics that said “Big Dick Energy!” so naturally a Frank Frazetta illustration is the best choice.

This is The Bootlicker. It’s based on the SRS Eq Exciter (which is basically a fuzz face). I used this to cut my teeth on DipTrace and having my own boards pick n’ placed. This was the 2nd revision...always double check your pot orientation :geek: First go with a Gorva enclosure/knob as well...

Having to solder my own FV-1 made it a wee bit more of a challenge but I’ve definitely improved on my SMD skills so just another chance to brush up really. I used a Cricut to make a vinyl stencil and then etched it using salt water and electricity. I’ll do up a tutorial on my next go around...

This was immediately what I thought of when I heard Zapper. Couldn’t help it! I put 2x 1n5817 and 1 red LED across the gain pot for a bit of assymetrical dirt. Works a treat!

The etch got a little messy but it’s a personal build so I don’t mind :D Aion Convex (Dinosaural OTC-201) into a Monad (Univox Unidrive)...I kind of never want to turn it off.

I’ve had a week off of work so expect a few threads from me. First up is this one. Great modulated delay!

Basically a total rip off of the V2 without an expression jack. I’m going to try that on my next build. This was my first go at the reverse etch technique I got from Hexjibber. Clipping options are 1n4148s and 1n5817/Orange LED...octave is from matched 1n5817s and sounds great.
