New work in progress
A nice opamp big muff PCB Mad bean Shark Fin. Based on the maestro filter sample and hold. I’m obsessed with this circuit, I’ve built several versions of it and own some boutique iterations. Ooh look an ugly face, this is another effect that had become a minor obsession. I’ve built more than a few…

Super Hard On – OSH Park
Three Super Hard On’s built from PCBs from OSH Park. This layout was compact and well arranged. Off board pads were all arranged in a row on one edge, I used four conductor ribbon cable for neat wiring. The ribbon cable I have I got at Radio Shack, some years ago, it’s solid core, with…

Fuzz Factory – OSH Park
Just soldered the first of three Fuzz Factory PCBs from OSH Park. Fired up on the first try. The board didn’t come with documentation, I had reverse engineer the board against the schematic to verify part numbers. Here is the schematic I used: I used some AC128 transistors for Q2 and 3. The random choices…

Osh Park PCBs
I just received this order from OSH Park. I order four boards. You are required to buy three copies of each board you order. The cost is $5 per square inch for 2 layer boards (with 3 copies of your board included in that price). Which is not bad, if the boards are small it’s…

OSH PARK
This is a really cool service that manufactures open source PCB designs. You can order any of the open source designs on the site. Most of the stuff is not stompbox oriented. It takes a little google-fu to search up stompbox projects. You can also upload your own designs. You have to order 3 PCB…

Stompbox PCB
This is a PCB that mounts a stomp switch, jacks, and is wired for an LED. I had this idea ten years ago and had a few of these made. It worked pretty well.

1776 PCBs
Just got some new PCBs from 1776. The quality looks great. The pots and rotary switch are attached to the PCB. This is the only way to go. I really don’t like lots of of board wiring. There are so many advantages board mounted controls. The layout is clean and organized. The board is fairly…

Shocktave PCB
I have been thinking about making Joe Davidson’s Shocktave for many years now. I have yet to build it, the PCB in this post is unverified so far. I’m finally getting around to it. I had built a BSIAB II while back that had all of the transistors in a row. This made for a…

Swollen Pickle
This is Way Huge Swollen pickle clone I made. This is basically a Big Muff with using a 14 pin DIP that contains 4 transistors. The tone control also has a pronounced mid scoop compared to the original Big Muff. I etched this design on the box. The design is based on flames in Tibetan…
