  • 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…

  • Weston Audio AD110 progress

    This is a 6 voice analog drum module based on the Boss/Roland DR110. I saw this thread over on Mod wiggler. It looked like a fun module that I could get some use out of. Weston Audio has a few interesting Eurorack modules. They offer the AD110 as a kit! The kit comes with three…

  • Small Bear is closing down!

    sadly Small Bear Electronics is closing down. I have been buying parts from them for what could be 20 years now! My memory is failing me but has to be close to 20 years. They were pretty much the first to provide parts for the DIY stompbox community. I’m showing this picture of a Fulltone…

  • PCBWay PCB Service

    PCBWay PCB Service

    Tried a new service: PCBWay.com. I used one of the boards I had designed in EAGLE PCB. PCBWay PCBWay looks like a larger service with more to offer. They have a lot of options and it’s a bit of a maze to navigate. For your effort they also offer some services not offered by OSH…

  • Breakfast Audio Bork Bork PCB

    Generous Reddit member sent me this Breakfast Audio PCB. It looks like a clone of an Ibanez version of the Super Fuzz. They threw in stickers to, awesome!

  • Parentheses Fuzz #5

    I think this is #5 I’m losing count. These are so much fun to play the world needs a couple more! I used matte black sand textured enclosure. Which give this a good industrial vibe. This is a pretty easy build for what you get. The board is a good size and parts are comfortably…

    Factory of FUZZ (fuzz factory clone)

    I’m always looking for the cheapest way to build pedals. I found these boards on OSH Park.com. Besides being a service for prototyping boards it’s also an open source repository of projects uploaded by the community. A board uploaded to OSH Park marked public can be ordered by anyone. The search function is not so…

  • Boss DRV-1981

    Boss DRV-1981

    This is a clone of the 1981 Inventions DRV rehoused in a Boss DS-1 enclosure. I used the PedalPCB Informant PCB and the MadBean Softie for this project. Why? Good question! I suppose I saw the ridiculous prices people were paying for the Boss Tone Benders that had come out recently and thought I could…
