  • Casualty 4 Phaser working

    Here’s an image of the Casualty 4 Phaser. Wired everything up. After figuring out that I had forgotten to connect the ground wire from the jacks to the board everything seems to be working. Initial observations. The Shape pot seems to do nothing. The Width pot seems shape the soft triangle into a trapezoidial square…

  • FM Modulator

    Here’s another interesting snippet from the Stompbox Cookbook. I was not able to get this to work. Who knows what went on in the mind of Mr. Boscorelli? Looks like the guitar signal is meant to modulate the frequency of the 7555 via pin 5. The 7555 then drives the 567, a phase lock loop,…

  • FSH-1 PCB

    This will be the fourth time I try to build one of these. I made a PCB for the original using the layout from GGG. I never finished this. Then I built and finished a second using the layout from UStomp.com. I couldn’t get this to work. I forget what the problems were, it was…

  • Batteries or no batteries?

    I’ve run into a few project lately, Casualty 4 and Sunking, that fit in a B sized box, but leave no room for a battery. This has me rethinking the battery as a power source. To be honest I use batteries almost exclusively. I rarely use a power supply. The reason, I don’t own a…

  • Sunking

    Not sure if this is Sunking or Sun King. Either way it’s clone of the Klon Centaur. That apparently fits into a B sized box. Hats off to MadBean for making that happen. I way have to give this one a try. Here’s a link: http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6392&start=40

  • Omnidrive

    Here’s a project that I built up some years ago. This never found it’s way into a box. I dug it out and decided to try and box it up. Difficult with the number of switches and knobs. I think I have a viable plan to shoehorn it into a BB sized. box. This is…

  • Saffron Squeeze

    Here’s a PCB ready for boxing. This is basically a well tuned Ross clone. The original was made by Way Huge. This, Saffross, is clone made from a layout by MarkM over at DIYStompboxes.

  • 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.
