According to Mr.Bean`s rules
1) Bear Hug Compressor
2) No dry or wet signal. Only HUM . Doesn`t even bypasses may guitar signal when OFF.
3) Nothing yet as I built it a week ago left it for couple of days as it didn`t start first time (hours of trying) and tried again at Sunday - still nothing.
4) Subs: C3,C6 and C8 - used tantalum (little + mark soldered to square pad) ; D3 - D4 - BAT41 ; Q2 - BC550 (given sub according to google) ; Q3 - BF245 (same as Q2)

Will post pics when I make some.

Found this on the bay.

It has some good pics of schematics and guts if someone is interested.

Actually delay was the first I`ve tackled. Just boxed third.

Thanks for quick answers!
I`ll be fine just to keep using 9v batteries for now  and I`ll keep in mind your suggestions especially the one with BIG RED LETTERS. 
I know what it is. When I was 10 - 11 years old I plugged both ends of a wire into the wall socket. 
But I`m still here 

I have this power supply from an old Panasonic phone. It is 9v -300mA but
These are the readings from DMM when I tested it before I plug it in my newly made effects .

And the are the guts


1000 mF Electro - 1
10 nF Film - 2
1n4002 - 4
1. Is there a problem to plug and play 
2. I there is then what can I do to lower the voltage to 9v and to be able to use it safely.

P.S. I am new to electronics and don`t understand lot of things.

Any suggestions are welcome!

In the company of his brothers:


Next to be boxed - Ego driver and after that ...
In fact I was planing to build only Dist or OD but now I think I wont stop here.
You are great guys. You are helping me to fulfill my teenage dreams when it was so hard to find (in my country -  Bulgaria) good sounding effects.

Yes I etched the board myself and I was thinking to etch the enclosure too, but was so impatient to see it done.

Yes it is! I`m so glad I made it.
Now I have to build a room or shed to play with. My wife said so  . And to keep the good life we have together that will be the first thing I`ll do after winter is over. 

Second pedal as promised.
Like it so much. I did it with SMDB, Clip and Presence mods. Have tried and Facemelter but that mod is way too much for my taste and I have noticed that after after some time it just cuts the note you play (maybe I am doing something wrong).
Anyways I LIKE it because like I`ve said in my very first post here I`ve always wanted to have pedal and now after all these years thanks to You DIYers and especially to Mr. Bean I can not only have what I want but I can build it by myself.
Thank you again. Have a wonderful New Year and all your wishes and dreams to become REAL.
Now pics:


Guts ( You may notice that strange diodes I have used instead of 1n34 and 1n914, but that was the closest subs I have found - A118 - old russian Germ diodes )

First ever finished pedal  (not painted yet but I like it that way)






Sounds GREAT!
Thank You Mr. Bean!
Thanks to all of you DIY
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

P.S. Still to be boxed - Sea Urchin, Ego Driver and Uproar

Hello from Bulgaria!
My name (real) is Kostadin and I play guitar since I was 15 ( 35 now ). There were highs and lows - and two years ago I bought two guitars and amp just to play at home. All of a sudden the past returned with a slap in the face and I realised "I need stompboxes!".
It is realy Heaven for me to be able to use this forum. I`ve always wanted to have pedals but never had a chance to come across one that will satisfy me. Here only the fact that you are able to build some with your own hands is overwhelming.
Since I`ve been here I`ve build Uproar, Egodriver and Sea Urchin but they are still out of the box and have some issues (bad solder joints    and etc. ). Trying to solve them and when they are finished I`ll post them here.

There is nothing more to say than just "THANK YOU"
