So a lot of these are replacements to pedals I have reluctantly sold, have had a request for, or I’ve built other iterations of the same circuit. There are 2 net new builds in the bunch. Let’s start with those. Truth be told, I like mostly useless noise makers. I wish I could use them in music but I’m just not that creative. First up is a PPCB Captain Bit. Having built almost every PLL board I could get my hands on I sort of knew what I was getting and this doesn’t disappoint. The +1 octave isn’t terribly strong (at least on mine) and I’m ok with that. I tend to favor the low end anyways
Has a decent fuzz on tap and the octave downs just make it mean. Blue hammer from tayda is great with the silver knobs but damn the overspray! Pretty sure even with the toothed jacks they aren’t even close to making contact with the box.
Second is a PPCB 3-channel splitter that I intend to use for stereo setup but would also like to build the mixer so that I can do parallel dirt/clean/modulation lines. Easy build especially with Robert’s faceplates
Next up are my rebuilds. Let a friend try out Aleph’s troglodyte reverb and he requested one with a more Marshall styled aesthetic so here we are. I later added a red toggle switch cover for even more Marshallness.
This is such a great circuit that will do just about anything you could ask a reverb to do.
The next 2 are ones that I sold or gave away and decided I needed one to keep. A PPCB Ocelot in appropriately colored rattle can poo brown or metallic copper. Whatever.
I was happy to discover that I still had 2 2sk30 transistors from my last build. Includes an intelligent relay bypass so I can do monetary octave drops sort of like the 3leaf Octavbre if I so wish. Classic must have for all you subtractive synth bass fans out there. Next is the only compressor that I actually get along with a PPCB General Tso. It does what it does well without a shit ton of twiddling knobs and I can get behind that. You more observant readers may recognize the enclosure and knob combo and that’s because I pulled the misbehaving poison apple circuit out and gave the enclosure to a more deserving circuit
Last is a circuit that I have multiple versions of but love every one, from the VFE MiniMu to the AionFx Spectron and now the AionFx Lumitron. Man I love a Mutron III for bass or guitar. Was pleasantly surprised that the white hammered enclosure actually has gold under it. Went especially well with the luminous aesthetic
Again, heavy on the overspray but too lazy to go sanding/scraping. Thanks for looking
