Just throwing this out there. Do we want to take a fuzz circuit and tweak it to our liking or put a few circuit blocks together and tweak em individually (booster stage into clipping stage into eq stage and maybe a buffer)?
I’ll do the power stage.Just throwing this out there. Do we want to take a fuzz circuit and tweak it to our liking or put a few circuit blocks together and tweak em individually (booster stage into clipping stage into eq stage and maybe a buffer)?
I'm personally a fan of strip copper. Got about a dozen sheets sitting in a drawer for the next few dozen buildsAre we doing bare (no copper), strip copper, pad-per-hole, etc? Or is it builder’s choice?

Sorry, had my long-range scanner active.This is a good idea. It’s a better deal-type of idea…as some would get more knowledge than just how to diy.
Good point. I think thar bridge is well off in the distance, though. Let’s add point-to-point to that list, just to intimidate the fence-sitters…

for suggesting projects, I think the Interfax Harmonic Percolator has a relatively low parts count and lots of room for interesting variations (like the Catalinbread Karma Suture, e.g.).
Combo circuit ie ALL of the above... one enclosure, one bypass footswitch.This is how I would break it down:
1. What do I want to make?
2. What topology do I want to use?
3. What's the detailed design?
for example:
1. What do I want to make?
A dirt pedal with a weird ass filter hooked to it. Filter before or after the dirt? I don't know, that could be an experiment.
2. What topology do I want to use?
A twin-tee filter and a bazz-fuss (because they are simple, cheap, and low part count)
3. What's the detailed design?
I don't know. I'll do some reading on how the part values impact each of those circuits and fiddle with it (Earthquaker style, because I don't know how to simulate it, what to look for, or what I'm doing in general)
or:
1. A Rat! With an HM-2 style tone stack (like those drunk beaver things)
or:
1. A parallel distortion with a blend knob
or:
1. Hook a green ringer to something (and then add a simple boost, paint it with a Patrine Cross and sell it for $800. . . badda-bing!)
or:
etc, etc
This is now on my bucket list! Or, at least on my breadboard list, LOLA Rat! With an HM-2 style tone stack (like those drunk beaver things)
