Bloviator/BBE Sonic Maximizer
I got this board on a whim. Ever wonder what the BBE Sonic Maximizer sounds like? Ever wonder what is sonic maximization? Well it’s these questions that motivate me to make pedals! I got this board from MadBean Pedals. I was on a quest to create a pedal board full of mini pedals. What does…

Parentheses Fuzz Noise
I built a few of PedalPCBs Parentheses Fuzz. great clone of the EarthQuaker Life Pedal. All of the pedals I built seem to have whistling noise/oscillation sound when the Gain and Octave are at 100%. I haven’t played an original Life pedal so I’m not sure if it has this same issue. The noise sounds…

New tremolo design
I’m working on layout for a new tremolo. Before making the PCB I’m laying out the box. This way I can design the PCB to work with this layout. This is a tremolo based on the tremolo used in some older Fender amps. The circuit divides the signal into low pass and high pass and…

Momentary looper
These are some mini loopers. The difference here is that these use momentary instead of latching switches. The signal is routed through the send return loop only when the switch is down. The idea for this came up in a discussion about stutter effects. Usually you’d be toggling the pickup selector switch on your guitar…

Tremolomatic-XXII
This project came from the Stompoxology newsletter Volume 13 Number 2 published by Nicolas Boscorelli around 2000. I can’t find a copyright date on the issue. Stompboxology was very interesting and mysterious. The Stompboxology newsletters along with the Stompbox Cookbook would be hugely popular today. But they missed the timing for their prime audience. Nicolas…

Shiva Sonic
I received an email the other day from someone who had bought some pedals from me, it must have been 10 or 15 years ago! I was really happy to hear they were still using and enjoying them! The reason for the email was to ask what the pedals were? I said send me some…

PWM demo
This is a demo of Tim Escobedo’s PWM. see my build page for more info about this circuit: http://www.super-freq.com/tim-escobedo-pwm-pcb-build/ Here is another song demo where the PWM was used on one track in the mix.

RunOffGroove 22/7
I updated my 22/7 PCB. I had these boards made at PCBWay.com. These boards are great quality. Very cost effective. I’m a fan of OSH Park.com. They are good when you want only three boards, are in the US and need quick shipping. The PCBWay boards are very clean, they offer a range of colors,…

DS-125b
A few months back I rehoused a few pedals into some Boss DS-1 enclosures. This left me with some left over Boss DS-1 PCBs. I rehoused three new effects into DS-1 enclosures. That left me with three leftover DS-1 PCBs. Here is a more detailed look at putting the DS-1 into a 125B enclosure. Here…

Build a Muff
This is a PCB for the Big Muff. I design this in Eagle. I used the Part numbering from The Big Muff Page here. With this board you should be able to build any version of the standard Big Muff. Just choose a schematic and match the part numbers to this board. You can order…

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…
