    BBW Pedal Build

    Hey all, here is the beginning of the BBW based on the BBE Sonic Stomp. I am going to stick with the Red/White theme so I know which pedal is which on my board. I already have this pedal but want to decrease the footprint that it takes up on my board and also, what's 1 more pedal!?!? I am in...

    Circuitry Design

    I have found some circuits online that I want to try and create a more professional looking PCB for. My question, what PCB Schematic builder do people use, and what program has proven to be the easiest when designing these circuits? I used the Digikey online "Scheme It" tool and created the...

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    I just finished building an Ocelot Octave and there is no sound coming from the effect. The bypass works great and the LED comes on when pressed but that's about as far as I get. On this pedal, the build does call for 1/4w resistors instead of 1/8w resistors... would this make that much of a...

    PedalPCB Ocelot Octave

    I finished building my second pedal last night... man she looks SO clean. I have a yellow LED and yellow knobs for a sort of "cat like" vibe... now for the painstaking task of painting the words for the knobs. I just finished doing this to my Gherkin Fuzz and the words came out really well!

    Uploading Photos

    I was trying to post a build I just finished but when I try to upload the photos, it just says "File is too large". My question, what size do photos have to be in order to upload them? I shot the photos on a Samsung s7 so I wouldn't imagine they are too big, but they probably are... Nevermind...

    N-Channel JFETs

    I am working on getting together a purchase order for building the Ocelot Octave and am having a hard time finding the 2 required N-Channel JFETs (2SK30A) for the build. Any suggestions on where to find these or a similar diode I could use to complete the build with?

    EXTREMELY Loud Gerkin Fuzz

    I just got through building the Gerkin fuzz and it is LOUD!!! Like, I can barely put any gain on the Loudness pot and it is exerting entirely too much volume. I also have the Crunch (compression) set to about 11 o'clock. Sustain is at about 2 o'clock while the Filter and Scoop are almost at...

    Should I keep going or "rebuild"?

    So, I was working on making a Gerkin Fuzz and got the PCB looking SEXY!!! I started to connect the footswitch and then my wire broke... I reached for some more but by the time I removed the old wire the solder pad on the Output of the PCB was gone... both sides! If I have enough solder on the...

    Gerkin Fuzz question

    Are D1 and D2 actually needed here? I see they are both just 3mm LED's but look to be a looper circuit. Why would you utilize LED's instead of an actual diode? I was looking at the traced schematic of the Way Huge somewhere else and it doesn't mention the need for D1 & D2 anywhere...

    MBQ3904 I.C. Chip

    I am trying to get all of my components from the same place but am running into an issue with this part. The part is needed in the build for the Gerkin Fuzz (Way Huge Swollen Pickle replica) and would be interested in a similar chip. I would be using this pedal on bass so a replacement would be...

    To buff or not to buff...

    Not sure which thread I should post this in so I just went with the general forum... When it comes to building pedals specifically for the intent to use on bass, should I buffer the footswitch? I am talking about all the kit boards that can be found on this website... There are so far 2...
