UBE Screamer 1.1.1
This is an update of the UBE Screamer board. Same circuit just revised. I had these boards fabricated at PCBWay.com. The quality is very great! The UBE Screamer is a very interesting take on the Ibanez Tube Screamer by RunOffGroove.com. It’s the general circuit topology of the TS-808 but uses CMOS inverters in place of…

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…

Wata’s Electro Sound Big Muff
I heard this new song by Boris and it got me interested in the band again. This is apparently an add for a new EarthQuaker Devices pedal. If you haven’t heard Boris you should take a listen. They are on BancCamp here. Reading an interview with the guitar player Wata. It mentions the Hizumitas, her…

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…

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…
