Hello! I'm really excited to share this one with you fellow effect enthusiasts- born from four great ideas from actual circuit designers, hacked together at SCHMORG Laboratory with bubble-gum and tape, I present to you: the Double Helix So WTF is this big guy all about? TLDR: It's my...

So, lucky guy I am, I got all sorts of birds stoned at once by machining this bridge with a CNC mill at my local junior college: It's a floating tremolo with a big handle on the back that's easy to grab onto or push down on without a 'whammy bar' isn't installed, designed to operate like the...

So, thanks to the great wealth of shared information here on the forum, I've got here my first complete DipTrace project- a cocked wah version of the Tychobrahe Parapedal Wah that I put together using the schematic for Pedal PCB's Parasite Wah: It took two tries to get everything right- the...

TLDR; This fuzz makes me very happy. Over the last few years, I've had a handful of fuzz circuits that have been passing the title of 'favorite' back-and-forth. Dung Beetle, Acid Rain, Cream Pie- there are a lot of really good ones we can build, but this one.. I think the way this one works is...

Here's my build of the Lawn Darts: Effects Layouts version of Earthquaker Devices Arrows boost. It's just a little boost, but it does its' job really well. I've been using it near the end of my chain- after all other gain and modulation but before a reverb and delay. I turn it on when I...

So in all my years of chasing the Drive Dragon, I've always avoided the CRUNCH BOX circuit. I really don't like the word 'crunch' as a guitar tone word so I never gave it a fair shot. 🤷‍♂️ ..My mistake though- some post on the forum lead me to a demo which lead me to build one to test out...

"Germanium transistors- who needs 'em?" I ignorantly thought.. I mostly play in a band rather than in a studio, so the idea of expensive, scarce parts that are going to perform differently based on temperature just seems like paying extra for something unreliable. Although I respected that...

So I've been on the lookout for projects that can accept control voltage (CV) clocks or modulation in an attempt to integrate my pedalboard and modular synthesizer, and Parasit Studio's got a cool handful of options. Todays' build is The Corruptor ring modulator version 3.0 : Ring modulators...

So I've been sitting on this build for a couple weeks now, not really knowing how to write it up.. While I was first testing it, I thought I'd made a mistake somewhere in my build because it doesn't respond at all similar to octave pedals I've tried in the past, but after re-reading the build...

Your addictingly bold and robust toans can now taste even smoother through the all new Cellulose Acetate Filter. Whether you're wah-walkin' out on the town or spending a night in to funk in the bunk, the Cellulose Acetate Filter can help you get your smoking leads and basslines slapping and...

Somebody poisoned the Rabbit Hole! Hello! I'd like to show off my newest Big Muff build: It's a MadBean Rabbit Hole built to the 'Triangle' spec's, and I've also added a 'Mids' switch that I pilfered from the Aion 'Halo' schematic and built on strip-board. There are two 'Volume' knobs that...

So, compression.. Compression's been a difficult one for me to understand. My first introduction was a pawn-shop Dyna Comp that confused me more than anything- the only real use I found for it was to run it before my $25 envelope filter, but once I'd built a competent envelope, I had no more...

This is a build of the JMK Paralyzer PCB, which splits your signal into two separate loops that are then blended back together via. the knob before mono output. It's a great little utility circuit! I've been using an older JMK Paralyzer build in a particular song to gradually switch between a...

Hello! This is my build of the Cataclysm delay by Pedal PCB which is based on the Disaster Transport Jr. by Earthquaker Devices. What attracted me to this circuit is the dead-simple ease-of use and its' TONE control that darkens the repeats. The TONE control is proving itself to be quite...

My first chorus pedal was a big box EHX Small Clone that I was deep in love with until it had an unspeakably unfortunate incident with a station wagon (R.I.P.) I've always missed the Small Clone but I've filled the chorus void with other placeholders over the years, most-recently I've been...

Hellooooooo I built up this Gravitation for myself as a sensible colleague to work alongside the more outlandish Deflector reverb. After about 20 minutes of testing, I already prefer it to the Spirit Box doing that job. It's a good solid reverb that really excels at conventional sounds and I'm...

I finally finished my BASS BALLS! I wouldn't consider myself an envelope addict but I certainly am a frequent user and enjoy trying the different flavors. This one's definitely got its' own thing going on that's not so easy to explain.. The envelope reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's pillowy dress...

*I just posted this report on the PCB's forum of origin but I wanted to share it here too. You guys, I just finished testing/calibrating this build and I'm seriously impressed by the envelope function. Obviously anything EHX + MBP is bound to be good, but this circuit is so much more than I...

I've finally given in to the hype and built a Pedal PCB Pauper to try out the Prince of Tone / Blues Breaker circuit! I'm way late to the party with this one, so you guys already know it's a really great low-medium gain drive with lots of usable sounds in that range. It's great for stacking...

Now, I've always been a firm believer that a pedalboard should be a DIY thing, following the logic of, "who knows what you need from your 'board better than you?" However, I'm learning that not everybody out there's got DIY in them.. it's sad but true, and if one of these people is a bandmate...
