  • Flatline

    I had wanted build a compressor for a while now. But had never actually gotten around to actually making one. A few months ago I etched and soldered a a Saffron Squeeze, which is a Ross clone. Somehow I had not actually finished this before I found stripboard layout for John Hollis’ Flatline, which jumped…

  • Casualty 4 Phaser

    Here’s interesting phaseshifter idea I found over at Circuit Workshop. The Casualty 4 is an OTA based phase shifter with two modulated stages and two fixed phase shift stages. This looks like a pretty interesting project. Looks like you can fit this in a B sized box but there doesn’t seem to be enough room…

  • Ghost wah

    Here’s a Wah probe work alike. Thought this would be a fun build. Someone gave it a good review over at DIYStompboxes so I etched up two boards. just got the parts in the mail and soldered the last parts into the board last night. Here’s a picture of the populated board. This still needs…

  • Trmming the NE570

    I found some good information on trimming the N570 to help remove unwanted distortion. The chip contains to two identical sections which are mirrored on either side. Pin 3 and 14 provide an input for a control voltage for the gain cells. Pin 8 and 9 provide a distortion trim fro the gain cells. Not…

  • Termolo-Matic X

    This is the Tremolo-Matic X from Stompboxology. I’m in the process of building this for “Jonny” who I met at the last DIY Swap meet. He gave me this box to put it in.This project is coming together nicely.

  • Ugly Face for Steve

    Here’s an Ugly Face I built. I used PnP for the design on top. The transfer was a imperfect. But mostly worked. I’d really like to find a reliable toner transfer that works on these metal boxes.

  • Some PCBs

    Here’s the current projects. Two Echo Base and two Casualty 4 Phaser shifters.

  • Old School Layouts

    I found these old school layouts by Andy. These look like fun to build the layouts just scream mojo. I think I will have to etch a few of these up and build them with carbon comp resistors and ceramic caps! Andy aka “Dragonfly” posted like mad on the DIYStompbox forum for several years and…
