Making mistakes…
Just milled these enclosures and it looks like the holes are all off by about an 1/8″ except the toggle switch which seems to be in the right place. What do they say about measure twice cut once? I Swear I must measure five times and still missing something. I got the file out and…

Tayda Branded Pots
I just got some new pots from Tayda and they are not quite the same as the standard pots. They have a clear plastic cover. The back side is branded Tayda. And, best of all, they don’t have that little tab that needs to be broken off. I can’t believe it took 20 years of…

Big Muff
Here is another Big muff. I had these boards manufactured at PCBWay.com. The idea was to make a Big Muff PCB that could be used to easily build any version of the standard Big Muff. The board has an on board LED with all of the off board wiring along the bottom edge. This makes…

The worlds largest analog synth
Anyone who has watched my podcast knows I’m a big fan of bandcamp.com. Haven’t watched my podcast? Don’t worry it’s really only watched by a select few. Check out this link on Bandcamp: https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/robin-hatch-tonto-interview That said, I ran into this on the Bandcamp home page the other day. I’m a big fan of Tonto. These…

Yet another Big muff
Does the world need another? I wanted to do a Big Muff using those 9mm pots. These seem like they might be a good build option. I also wanted to setup this PCB to use the same part numbers that appear on all of the schematics not the Big Muff Page. This way it would…

The 22/7 is a CMOS based Big Muff. A very cool and innovative circuit by RunOffGroove.com. Did I mention they just turned 20 years! If…

Glitchstorm & Bytebeats
Glitchstorm is an Arduino powered byte beat generator. Arduino, if you are not familiar, is an open source hardware programming platform. Rather than surf the web and send email, you can use Arduino to open your garage door, and flash your favorite color of LEDs, or in the case of Glitchstorm, output quasi musical audio.…

AionFX Qudratron a Lovetone Doppelgänger clone
Here’s another epic pedal build. The Lovetone Doppelgänger is a phase shifter with lots of extras. It has 4 phase shift stages and two LFOs and options for all of this. The Quadratron is not a direct clone of the Doppelgänger. It’s faithful to the original but makes a few changes. Both are four stage…

RunOffGroove.com turns 20 years
RunOffGroove.com is one of my favorite sites for original stomp box inspiration and innovation. I built my first projects using the schematics and layouts there. The ideas presented are innovative. I’m very impressed with the UBE Screamer and 22/7. You can find PCB projects for those here! The Ruby and other projects are DIY staples!

New Boards from PCBWay
Just got some new boards from PCBWay.com. These are RunOffGroove’s 22/7. This is a Big Muff built around MOSFet inverters in place of the Bipolar transistors used in the standard Big Muff. This is a great sounding Big Muff. If you’ve built Big Muffs in the past you should try this one. The tone control…
