    DEMO Frantone Creampuff (vero) & Fornicus OD

    Got a two for one for y'all today. There's a music shop near me that I've been frequenting the last year or so, and during that time I've gotten to talking with the shop owner a bit. We were recently talking about pedals and I told him that I build clones in my free time, which prompted a...

    DEMO Kewpie Fuzz

    Finally got a chance to put together one of these and man, it certainly lives up to the hype. Admittedly I'm already a fan of Big Muffs, but this thing takes all the stuff I like about them and adds a lot of features that I found myself wishing big muffs had. The two modes are both awesome and...

    DEMO Desolate Fuzz (How unpleasant could it really be?)

    Hey all! I finished up this Desolate fuzz build the other day, and had a ton of fun both putting it together and playing with it once it was completed. I put it in a 1590b enclosure, and was finally able to bust out the top-jack drill guide which is freaking awesome and a huge help with those...

    DEMO Fornicus Overdrive

    Just finished putting this one together, all in all it was an easy and fun build. I've only heard good things about this circuit in general, but given how expensive they are these days I've never had the chance to play one, so I was stoked when we finally got a PCB for it. Would I pay $500 for...

    DEMO Lectric-FX Polychorus

    So I was commissioned to make this Polychorus for someone on Reddit a while back and FINALLY got it finished. I actually finished the build back in like, November, however I just could not get it to work properly once it was all done. The signal would die right around IC3 (the second BBD chip)...

    DEMO Torn's Peaker (Vero content)

    Hey all! I put together this Devi Ever Torn's Peaker clone for someone recently, thought I'd share. I don't really know much about all the Devi Ever circuits out there, just that they exist in some kind of weird internet ether and the pedals themselves have maybe moved into that realm of...

    DEMO Some 2-in-1 content (Chop Shop+Chorus)

    Hey all! Been a while since I posted a build report. I finally finished my Master's degree, so I suddenly have all this free time on my hands. I've still been building a few things here and there, but for the last 6 months or so I've been pretty swamped with getting that degree finished while...

    Dandy Horse no output issues

    Hey all! I just finished up this Lectric FX Dandy Horse build and am a bit stumped by it at the moment. Hoping to get some guidance from you all, if possible. I'm running into some issues on the biasing section. Initially, I was able to get 500hz and 125hz readings from the test pad. When I...

    DEMO AionFX Elysium Echo Machine

    Hey all! I finished up this Echo Machine at some point in the last few weeks. Overall the build was pretty straightforward, aside from that massive chip that's in there. Pretty easy to source, though, since AionFX sells various components now, this chip being one of them. As for the delay...

    DEMO MBP Current Lover

    Hey all! Once again, life has gotten a little busy, so I haven't had as much time to build/post about my builds these days. I'm a teacher, so I have summers off, but I'm currently working on two classes for my master's degree and that's taking up a lot of my time. I also just went on a trip to...

    DEMO Irrlicht Overdrive

    Hey hey! Finished this build the other day and was immediately impressed by how awesome it sounds. It can be tough to get excited about drives these days, given how many of them there are, but this one feels unique enough to stand out among some of the other drives I've built in the last year...

    Anyone have experience with repairing pedals?

    I found this at a pawn shop for $15 the other day. They told me that it didn't work, so I figured the worst-case scenario was I take a $15 crash course in messing it up further, best case I fix it and get a working pedal for cheap. It turns on, but no sound other than a high-pitched whine comes...

    Leprechaun

    Hey all! Just finished this up recently and had a good time doing it. All in all the build itself was pretty fun, no major issues. I did accidentally mix up my input and ground wires initially, but that was a quick and easy fix. Outside of that everything came together and worked as advertised...

    Way Huge Red Llama 25th Anniversary (Vero)

    Hey all! I finished this build a while back actually, but much to my chagrin, the tone section was virtually nonexistent when I first tested it out. Between life, school, and not having much time to build in general it took me a bit to find an opportunity to really sit down and try to fix it...

    Flock issues (sputtery and kind of gated)

    Hey all! Finished putting this together last week and it technically "works", but there are some issues that it seems to be having. The fuzz and pitch shifting and all that works, as I can get a signal out of it, but it also is making this weird sputtering and kind of sounds like the signal is...

    Fixing wonky drill hole?

    Hey all! Was drilling some enclosures earlier and to my shock and horror, realized after drilling that my LED hole was way off center. It all looked good when I center punched it, but I suppose I didn’t look closely enough (clearly). I’m just curious is anyone has any tips or suggestions for...

    Way Huge 25th Anniversary help (vero)

    Hey all! I just finished putting together this 25th Anniversary Red Llama build. It's like, 85% functional and I've hit a bit of a wall figuring out what's wrong. The drive and volume all work as should (and sound awesome), but the hi-cut knob isn't really doing anything. I measured the pot...

    Twin Face issues

    Hey all, Just put together a Twin Face build recently and while it technically "works", it's making some weird noises in the process. The silicon side is super noisy, and has a decent amount of hiss in the noise floor. For both silicon and germanium, if my guitar volume knob is at anything less...

    DEMO Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh (Aion FX)

    Hey all! Finished up this Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh build over the weekend. When I first fired it up I was getting this whine coming through the signal. After some digging around with an audio probe it seemed to be coming directly from the DC jack itself. I tried using a different power...

    Black Arts Toneworks Pharoah squeal/whine

    Hey all! I know this isn't a PPCB build but I'm hoping to get a bit of insight on what could be causing this issue. The pedal itself seems to be working fine, everything does what it's advertised to do, however when I have the level and/or fuzz up high enough I get this low pitched whine/squeal...
