    Outer space (Dark rift)

    Lately, I've been exploring the delays territory and the dark rift looked like a great candidate to start from, plus so far I've always liked EQD pedals a lot. This also continues the trend for laser etched enclosure faceplates I've been working on lately. The PCB build went fairly smooth, I...

    Banzai disaster

    I’ve ordered several items from banzai. Took three weeks to ship. At shipment time I’ve been notified that four items were back-ordered. Finally today I’ve received my order and I’ve found this. I cannot express how frustrated I am, these chips are truly expensive. Has somebody been sent the...

    Gamma radiometer (Lowtide)

    I really wanted to try building this circuit as I love the original FC shallow water, however this soon revealed to be more of supply chain than electronic exercise. I had to search the whole internet to find the components and still ended up with a dual gang B1M pot instead of A1M, but this...

    [SOLVED] This one got me (Bellum Fuzz MKII)

    Hi folks, A couple of weeks ago I finished a bellum fuzz mkii and although simple pedal, it kicked my ass in every way possible. The first time I drilled the enclosure, it cracked. Then when tried to paint the new enclosure, the clear coat got messed four times. Now the pedal is assembled but...

    Dumbloid special on stripboard

    I really wanted to build my first stripboard circuit, so I decided to go for the Shin's Music Dumbloid special, using Tagboard effects layout. http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2014/03/shins-music-dumbloid-special.html As for many others of my build, I choose to clone the original pedal...

    My electrovibe build

    After seeing so many great builds here on the forum, I had to try to build an electrovibe myself. Overall it took me a long time to source all the components, solder the pcb, and then come up with an enclosure. I'm sick and tired of painting raw aluminum enclosures, so I've purchased a laser...

    Battery power supply

    While testing my recently built fuzz and overdrive pedals, I've noticed they sound way better with 9V batteries (even compared to a switching power supply). For this reason, I've started researching a way to build a reliable battery power supply that could power multiple pedal, be hosted on a...

    Sunflower fuzz

    Just finished this: Please excuse the knock-off graphic (even if not 100% like for like copy), but the pedal will never go for sale and I liked it a lot. For this build I selected the best components I could: ohmite carbon comp resistors, vishay axial capacitors and russian GT402...

    War scythe

    Since this section is called “build reports” I thought to post some wip pictures instead of the finished pedal. This is how far I got currently. The PCB: I had to use a stereo pot as mono as when shopped for parts, both tayda and mouser were out of the correct value. Transistors are Russian...

    My own take on the Duocast

    Hello Folks, this summer I’ve been working at my second pedal pcb build: a duocast! This one feels special to me, because my basement/workshop has been flooded at the end of july and all my equipment and tools have been submerged by water, dirt and mud. Pretty much everything has been...

    First build - Twin face bias issue (PNP side)

    Hello fellow pedal builders, New member here, and I’ve just completed my first build, a twin face/fuzz face clone. I’ve used AC125 germanium transistors (Q1=80 Hfe, Q2=140 Hfe) for the PNP side and BC108 silicon transistors for the NPN side. I was able to bias the NPN side correctly to +4,5v...
