CONTEST Hey Buddy, Built Anything Lately?

[PedalPCB]

It's been a while since we did this, and it's Friday, so why not?

Post a pic of your most recent pedal build and tell us a little bit about it, good or bad.

One post will be selected at random on Sunday evening (Sept 15, 2024), the winner will receive a $50 PedalPCB gift card.

I built the Sanguine last night.

I let my drummer borrow my Thermionic. Then I let him borrow my Tyrian. I realized that he had all my high gain pedals! So it’s good to have one around. It’s not my typical style, but boy oh boy it’s super fun to chug n’ squeal.

The drummer is gonna have to give one of my others back if he wants to borrow this one!

Just posted a build report of this so I'll keep it short. Tldr version: It no longer smells like exploded electrolytic capacitor. It f@cks.

Can we have a contest where you clean your garage and re-assemble a drill press to do some new builds? Cause, I'll ace that in about a month.

My most recent “Completed” build was way back in May!!! An Octarock.
I’ve had a long summer, with limited building time. Damn life and all its hiccups!

I did a combo General Tso/Median compressor with relay bypass and an order switch, with the intention of adding a jmk paralyzer board and series/parallel switch. I decided to play with it while waiting on jmk and realized they're both great pedals on their own and are stupid as a combo and I don't need dual or parallel or an order switch and don't really use compression that often. So they'll probably both be rehoused as single pedals and then one of them given or sold away.

Edit: I did ground the jacks, don't know why I took the picture before that, must have been real excited

Funny enough, my most recent build was also in May, and also a Diplomat. I love it; I'm using it quite a lot these days (whatever that means with how much else is going on for me atm) as the thing to put between my guitar and the recording interface. Full build report here

Oh shit, in that case I would never win that one.

Chuck's Boneyard Phase 90, full blurb and deets here:

This Week on the Breadboard: Phase 90

Whoever can make this fit in a 125B is a magician. It is a challenge!

I finished 9 pedals this week but this is the one that I can't stop playing. Boss DM-3 clone. Build report coming later this weekend or next week.

These are my most recent builds, that also were in... April, damn heatwave and climate change
From left to right:
Sour Grape fuzz (still waiting on a new rev log pot for the gain). Great ic muff, needs the pot changed as the gain is all bunched up at the end. Orange because of course, Pumpkins.
Parasit Into the Unknown, went on my board as the new noise machine. I'd like to add a footswitch for lfo on/off
Green Ringer clone, I think in a pcbguitarmania board, in a funky little plastic enclosure. I was hoping to like it more, maybe the diodes I used weren't perfect for the job
Copper Clad fuzz, still waiting on me to swap the germanium diode around. Not gainy enough as it is but I'm fixing it as soon as I can use the solder gun again

 

[Markus Kersius]

Paint it black, black as night, black as coal.
A request from a friend: Barber gain changer on veroboard with some twists on the original.
1590bb enclosure on the side with top jacks/ gain switching by footswitch with a led,/ a what I call "Comp" switch which switched in a extra Bat41 diode for a bit more compressed and smoother gain/ black "marconi" style knobs.
A killer sounding versatile overdrive!

Oh, contest time, good thing I went and built something.

MEGALITH with a Notch Shift potentiometer instead of the toggle switch.

I just finished it a few days ago and it is already booked for a tour in october with the band of a friend. There are no guitars in his band and he splits his bass into two channels (kinda like Royal Blood, but different).
Anyway, he asked for something thounderous and beefy to kick in on the "bass side" and I was like "sure, try this, should do the trick" .... and it did. I love this circuit, have built a few variations of it.

 

[Paradox916]

Why not, one good turn deserves another right? I don’t build a lot to begin with and it’s been a bit since I made a PPCB order. Maybe it’s time. My last build was an analog delay, calibration of these things is a little work but after building 3 different ones I think I have the process down now.

Just this

Who doesn’t love a Univibe? . Too me, it is the best modulation style of pedal. It is even better to have a Univibe in a 125b size! Time to go play some Jimi!

 

[steviejr92]

This is my most recent build. It’s a RAT and HOT CAKE in parallel with a BLEND knob to tune in both circuits to your liking! The rats nest oh the rats nest

How is that notch shift knob hooked up? I read it as that you now have the whole spectrum at your disposal, instead of just three settings?

 

[Harry Klippton]

Kinda weird to start a whole thread just to ask @BuddytheReow if he's built anything. This could have been a PM

 

[VanWhy]

I finally built the PPCB ADHD. One of my favorite drive pedals.
