It seems that last year quite a few people got the urge to build a Soldano. And I was no different. My board turned up at the same time as at least two builds were getting posted on here. So it must have been something in the air that made everyone make the same decision at the same time! I...

So I have been on a quest to make some very high gain pedals for my board. I have some great TS style and distortion and MIAB but nothing that screams like pure metal!! So down the rabbit hole I go. Here is some recent ones. I would love to know your suggestions for others. They all give me...

Finished a couple of @vigilante398 amazing tube projects. Was a bit worried as they were my first tube pedals but I have built an amp so what could possibly go wrong!! As it turns out absolutely nothing. The build was super easy and they sound amazing. And look cool as fuck! Going to have to...

So I made this one for a friend. He is the singer/guitarist in a band and his son also plays and is a huge Slipknot fan apparently. When he found out I mucked around with pedals he asked if I could make one for his son. He loves wah/modulation and any weird noice machines. I hadn’t made a wah...

People on this forum seem to continue to do absolutely amazing things which is one of the reasons I find this hobby so much fun. @steviejr92 recently designed and made his version of the classic Rat pedal. Great work by him from start to finish. What an accomplishment. A simple build (apart...

So, I might have bitten off a bit more than I could chew with this one and It came and told me so! Not new to building but still definitely learning I have been inspired but the likes of @Guardians of the analog who has been producing stunning pedals for some time now. So I decided to get out...

Hi all! Some time ago @Feral Feline was talking about loopers and he piqued my interest but what he was writing about was not entirely what I needed. I managed to pester him into buckling to answer my questions and expand my knowledge of switches/loopers and general electronics as well! One...

Morning all. It pains me to post this here as I took my time on this one as I knew it’s a complex built. I was hoping to beat @MichaelW to a build report but we both hit problems at the same time. He got a new board and got it working. I’m persevering with mine thought as I want to know what I...

Hi all Does anyone have any feedback for a Siglent SDS1202X-E scope. Two channel, 200MHz. I have the possibility of getting one at a very good price. And although I have managed to build stuff so far with out one, it might be handy to have around for some of my builds...

So the second of my recent builds that will be given away. This one I haven’t built before and am thinking I already need to build one for myself. This one is going to a friend of my wife who is obsessed with Lemmy and is a part time bass player in a band. He has been helping my wife with...

Evening all! So although I haven’t posted much recently I have been, as @fig suggests, building things! I have just been too busy building and actually playing my guitar to post. This is a bit different though as it won’t be with me long. So I wanted to get it out there before it’s gone for...

Morning all! I have a request from a friend to build a bass pedal for him. The only thing I have to go on is he wants a “Lemmy” sound. Obviously the real Lemmy used a massive old Marshall stack and no pedals which is what we are trying to emulate here. Any suggestions for a board that would...

Evening all! I’m on the scrounge for a 470UF electrolytic capacitor rated above 35v. Does anyone have one I can beg, borrow, buy!? Or know of where I can get one that isn’t the size of a house! I need one to finish a build I’m working on. Thanks in advance. Phil

Hello all! While building today my multi meter started to play up. I changed the batteries and it worked for a while and then started mucking around again. To the point I don’t think I can trust it much longer. Don’t worry it’s had a good life and served me well. I’m looking for some...

So this might not be much to some of you but I feel it’s a mile stone for me! Like my amp I built earlier in the year this is way out of my comfort zone. It’s my first dip into breadboarding. So I started slow and easy. This is a copy of an Electro Harmonix LPB-1 boost. Very basic components...

So I purchased this one literally years ago now in a sale Aion was having a sale. It was a whim, but basically it looked cool AF and hard and I didn’t have a chorus yet. What could possibly go wrong. Then I started reading the instructions and panicked. I shoved it in a drawer with other...

Some time ago a very nice man @caiofilipini built a stunning xc phase with some beautiful graphics. Not only was he nice enough to send me the graphics he also adjusted them so one had my name on it and two more I have to build for my friends kids who are getting into guitar right Now and they...

Three in one post here, saves space and all that! Three kits grin Aion. The Obelisk, Monolith and Solstice. The Obelisk and Monolith are Lovetone clones based on the brown sauce and big cheese. And with names like that who could resist! It was the rotaries i was more Interested in as I haven’t...

Here’s my take on the Violet Muff. Socketed the parts as I might want to change some out but so far sounds better than my original big Muff and takes up half the space! Etched enclosure and carbon resistors. Just because I could!

To cut a long story short, I work away every other month, and for the past two years, before I arrived at work I had to isolate in a hotel for around a week, and get regularly tested to make sure I didn't take Covid onto my work site. Thanks goodness I dont have to do that anymore. As I wasn’t...
