Finished my latest build, a PedalPCB 'Pipestretcher' (aka a Dinosaural Tubebender) in a rather lovely Viva Magenta enclosure from Tayda. I had one of these before, built on a Fuzzdog board and for some stupid reason I sold it. Being a fan of fuzzy-flavoured overdrives this is really right up...

Hi guys Just finished a B-side Fuzz (demo tape fuzz). It sounds good but there is an unbelievable amount of volume on tap and all of the fuzz is at the last quarter turn of the trim control. Is this normal for this pedal? I'm sure I triple checked but I'm wondering if I may have...

Hi folks Just built an Episode Boost and I have a couple of questions. 1) what's the procedure for setting the trimpot position? The build docs don't say. Please explain like I'm five - I've got to the point where I'm decent at the paint by numbers part of building pedals but still need some...

Hi guys The "standard" pedalpcb layout (as much as there is one with DIY effects) is to have the jacks and the DC socket on the top edge ("top jacks"). That said, I noticed that pretty much everybody (myself included) uses the thinline Lumberg style DC jacks that have no switching (so you...

Hi guys, I just finished building a Fuzzdog Moo-Tron (its a Mutron III, but based on the Madbean Nautilus / NaughtyFish). I used Vactrols. The build doc is here: https://pedalparts.co.uk/docs/MooTron.pdf It has the worst kind of problem --- a "sort of working but sort of not" problem. The...

Hi folks I am trying to acquire a single pedalpcb 3PDT daughterboard. Getting a $0.50 pcb shipped across the Atlantic for $10 seems like a waste of money and fuel. Anyone know where I can get one in the UK? (alternatively, if someone has translated the daughterboards from other sources...

Anyone got a Tayda drill template for the Pipe Stretcher? Its three knobs and a switch so I suspect a "standard" layout but I couldn't find an "official" template in the various bits of documentation. Thanks!

Hi folks Looking for some "what to build next" recommendations, pedalpcb builds greatly preferred. Rough criteria below. I find myself wanting something fuzzy, but fuzz is something I've always liked the idea of more than the reality so definitely feeling a bit picky. I'm sorted for massive...

Although it looks like one of my neater builds, I found this build hard work and quite stressful. My tweezers broke, getting the LED to sit right took an age, I forgot which way DC jacks work, i spent ages stressing about the SMD adaptors, and worst of all I felt like I was battling the...

Hi folks I am building a Son of Ben Preamp from a Musikding kit. The kit is supplied with SMD transistors for the three J201 parts required and has some kind of conversion daughterboard to make soldering easier. However I am new to SMD devices and also not amazing with layouts/schematics so...

Hi gang About to build a Chickenhead. Can someone talk me through setting the bias using the trimmer? (even better, can someone point me at any pedalpcb docs that explain it, if they exist - teach a man to fish, etc etc). I actually have the same question about the Clandestine Preamp but...
