So, I've built two of those. One per BOM, works great One, I've upped two dc-dc converter for higher current output. I have problems, I was using my L4 to test bigger current draw, and maybe there is something wrong with the L4, BUT even with a simple fuz pedal that works on a 100mA output...

I've completed some power units. First, USB power, ideal for powering pedals that dont need too much curreent. Next, a 4x100mA power brick. That one is for my wife, who always forgets to remove the input from her battery powered pedals. Last, a 2x100mA, 1x200mA and 1x300mA. I planned to power...

Not sure where I messed up... I did not take the exact parts from the BOM for the DC-DC and the voltage regulator, maybe I missed something because they look like equivalent parts. Yesterday, I had problems with my L4 running on battery, so I thought that it was a good time to test the USB...

I'm on a fuzz quest. Still have a couple more to build. This time, I've built the dream fuzz. My wife bought the OpAmp Big Muff as her fisrt pedal and after a while sold it. Lately she started saying maybe she should have kept it. I already had the board so I made it next in what I now call my...

I had the enclosure in hand and the wife wanted a way to go from clean to effect chain. So while I'm finishing my dream fuzz build, I took a pause and made this. Should be fine to activate with flat ernie ball patch cables

On the bass, if I crank the treble over noon, I get some wooshing/whistling sound that is very present and fade slowly. Really noticeable on the clean setting. Normal behaviour or I start troubleshooting ?

Anyone know how much that pedal should draw ? I've built the 4 tap power supply and while testing my taps, everything looks ok on my byrdhouse and redshift (just tested they power on) but I first tried on the L4, it turns on/off/on/off ... I have 4 x 100mA for this built, I plan another with...

First time using these. @Robert can I adapt that board to match the new revision or there is too much changes made ?

Nothing spectacular here, we've all seen a few of those lately. I had my mountain bike in parts on my work area for quite a moment, and just finished putting it all back together this week end. Every other year I injure myself mountain biking, but it's the first time my bike has injured me...

I must say, that board was the most intimidating I have ever bought. It's a fact, some people here dont like AionFx daughter board concept and I do not wish to start that debate again. To me it's never been a problem and I'll deal with it if I ever need to. My greatest fears was having to...

This one was a lot of first for me : first real big box build, first real test at drilling 20+ holes and having everything aligning perfectly. I also tried to use some ribbon connectors... let's just say that there is still room for improvement there. I was really excited about this one, I've...

A couple months ago, while @UtilitBeltFX and @VanWhy posted their own build report of that same board, I was almost done with this board and thought my report would follow soon... how was I wrong. I already had received that board with the Lithium, another board where I had to order some parts...

On the animato, my distortion dual pot act as a volume. I mean that if I turn it fully CCW, I will have no sound. Based on the schematic, it is normal right since it goes straight to ground without any resistor ?

I'm not sure about this circuit, it's one of my first builds and I've never been sure about the sound. I made a video, but am not able to post it. On my bass, just strumming hard on the E string, I get the octave effect, but every 1 or 2 seconds, there is a change in "pitch". It does on the 1...

I have been less active since a few months, part of it is because I'm more selective on my builds, part of it is because of life happening and the third part of it is because I've been planning on building an amp for some time and the process is very slow. I'm not finished, but I figured I'll...

This build might be my best sounding pedal yet, so it may time for me to retire ... nah, I'm having such a great time building. The build went really smooth from the beginning until the end, well almost. I've bought this PCB and the Polaris together during March sale knowing that both those...

I've built that pedal a while ago, it was one of my first build but I had a lot of trouble making a label that clear-coating would not dissolve. I'm still in the process of spraying the clear, the winter and bad weather delayed me. I did not play a lot with it, but I like having it in my bass...

So, to cut short, I've bought a set of NTE-102/NTE-103 as per AionFX build docs almost two months ago on ebay from a reputable seller. But the delivery went really wrong... stayed a full month at the transporter facility, then started going a few places in the US to finally attenpted delivery...

It's been a long time since I've posted a build here, it's only that life happens and I am left with less time to build, which means more quality family time. I also felt that I no more know what I want to try building. For the El Sol, when Tayda started offering their new gold enclosures, I...

So here it is, my first ever build, the one where it all started. @MichaelW will remember that pedal because I've had some discussions with him about "finishing" that build. So to start, I started this build with a lot of confidence: I'll rearrange the pots so they make sense to me, spread them...
