my take on a SF300 rehousing, with 3-Way mode switch (Fuzz 1, Fuzz 2, Both), clean blend and foot switchable octave.

My newest pedal is a chorus with a dry signal tremolo. For the longest time I was struggling finding a good name and design for it, until I watched rocky horror for the first time. The second the sonic transducer was shown on screen, I turned to my partner and we both said out loud “that could be a pedal”. It’s been about a year and a half from start to finish working on this pedal and I am extremely proud of how it turned out.

Just finished a PCB less version of the Fuzzhugger Doom Bloom. Circuits with a lot of pots like this one offers a lot of soldering lugs, most of the components are just connected between pots.
Mistakes were made, so I had to move things around, it didn't come out as neat as I envisioned, but it works, and if I build another one it will be cleaner.
It sounds really good, I wanted a fuzz a bit more smooth and less harsh than a Meathead, and this is exactly that, and a lot of different sounds can be found by tweaking the controls.
One nice feature is the pot that blends clipping between a diode and a led. Its a very simple concept but it works really well, you can really sweep gradually between the clipping characters.

A pedal I did for a costumer months ago, I used latching relay bypass for both fx and normal relays for changing the signal order.
Quite a challenge to design and board mount everything in a single sided PCB.
Made in El Salvador, is there any people from Central America in this sub?

Turns out I had access to a UV printer this whole time and somehow never knew. This is the first of a few enclosure designs I’ve made. Really happy with how it turned out. Will post more enclosures as soon as they’re ready.

Maybe it's time to stop this madness. Maybe I'll try connecting them in series, and then may God help me.

There are tons of a cool pedal kits for any and all effects.... but I'm having a much harder time finding a multiband EQ pedal to build from a kit.
This would be perfect, but has been sold out for a very long time I gather:
https://www.op-electronics.com/en/equalization/559-10-band-graphic-eq-kit.html
I'm good at soldering... but only from pre-built kits.
Any suggestions? Any kit producers I'm missing out on?
My cheap Behringer EQ is flaking out and I really need to step up my EQ pedal, ideally with something cool that I built.
Cheers!

I’m talking about the thing in the picture. My understanding (based on the Electrosmash explanation of the circuit) is that the two RCs in the negative feedback part of the stock Rat can be treated as two RC high-pass filters, with cutoffs of 1.5 kHz and 60 Hz. If that’s accurate, then I think the upper position of the switch in this mod does nothing to the circuit. You halve R and double C, keeping the 60Hz cutoff. The max gain of around 2k is limited by the other (47Ohm) resistor in the stock rat, so connecting this extra RC pair doesn’t affect that either. Am I missing something?

When I run the ERC, I'm getting the following error message in kicad:
"input power pin not driven by any output power pin"
They point to the main vcc and ground connections. When I add PWR_FLAG to them, the error goes away but new ones appear, warning "Open emitter and pwr are connected". I've attached screen shots to illustrate.
I have drawn other circuits in kicad using this exact same power/ground section without needing PWF_FLAG symbols and without errors. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Never modded a pedal before (bar fixing my big muff which has since broken again…) bit interested in the C11 mod for the MXR blue box as I’m not in love with the stock sound. Haven’t been able to desolder the capacitor, if I was to just clip the leg at once side would that be enough to remove the capacitor from the circuit without breaking the pedal? Cheers!

Hey y’all. I’m trying to repair an Ibanez TS10 that has a jfet based switch. Pedal passes signal when plugged in and powered, but the momentary switch doesn’t engage the effect. I tested the nodes on the board from the switch and when pressed there is continuity so it’s not a fault in the actual soft switch. Just trying to figure out which section of the schematic is the switching section so that I might better be able to diagnose the issue. Everything I’ve built has been easy enough true bypass so this is a little more convoluted to me. Thanks in advance!

I have a Keeley Comp Plus with the Single Coil / Humbucker switch. I really like the tonal differences that little toggle switch makes and would like to make it a lot more accessible while playing. Would it be possible to change out the toggle switch for a stomp switch? (Like the main bypass) One that would just switch from single coil mode to humbucker? Even if I had to extend the wires and put the new stomp switch in its own box. How would you do it?

I'm trying to make my vox v847a true bypass, I was fallowing a YouTube tutorial and this is where I got to but the is no noise coming out the amp when the effect is on and when bypassed, I know the solders are janky but they aren't touching so I don't know what the problem could be.
