So i just told my little girl mommy will be home to build dinner soon, I think I may have a building problem, is there a 12 step program?

Have you guys seen this over on DIYSB? This is just the coolest thing ever ever ever

So i noticed with my cave dweller if I make a bunch of noise with it on (which I often do cause it sounds cool) and then switch it off and say a few seconds go by and switch it back on, the noise is still going. I think that's cool too, but is it supposed to do that?

Lemme just say that the cave dweller I built is awesome, and not a rehearsal goes by that I don't use it. I was thinking of building a second one its so killer. I have the parts I just need the pcb and some knobs!

Thanks to my fairly newly learned skills here, I had the confidence to fix my leaky faucets with minimal flooding. Thanks guys!

Dammit.paramix pcb is dead.those things are damn near impossible to desolder.trashed the board,luckily I have another one.give it a week and start over.

I suggest you do. Loads of fun! 6 jacks three knobs 2 leds and a switch all in one little (1590bb) box. Here is how it looks so far.

I found this on Ebay, (just upfront I don't know these people and am not affiliated with them)

is this a good deal or crap? it looks like it may be the latter because it seems to be mostly R value resistors and less k and M value. Mods you may delete this if it violates anything. Thanks

Here is my smoothie,there are many like it,but this one is mine.

  So as I've just completed pedal number 5 (pics coming soon) I find my self building pedals into enclosures rather than building them and then boxing them. I do it as kind of a way to measure wire (keeps it shorted and neater) and sometimes for drilling purposes for switches and knobs. Once I build and debug,then I disassemble and paint. This seems like maybe a little more time consuming way to do it,but my layouts are never the same. How do you do it?

So i just finished a smoothie, but to me it sounds more vibrato than phaser. I didn't use a reverse audio pot, just a normal audio pot., I'm still waiting on one to get here in Monday hopefully. With this make a difference at all or is there a way to get a more phasery sound out of it?

This is a BYOC pedal,the British Blues Overdrive. I'm really digging it. You can't tell it,but the LED is actually under the waterslide,my attempt at a hidden LED. The inside is a lot cleaner, feel pretty good about this one.

So after I built the Batcompressor,it was suggested that I build a Joker pedal. at the time i was building a Cave Dweller from Madebean,so here you have it,The Jokerpedal.I started put aking the inside real neat,but after cutting 2 wires too short,it just went to hell.So I covered the bottom of the PCB with hot glue to insulate it.

Building a smoothie and it calls for a c500k pot and, well what is it. I probably just don't understand what I'm looking for. Help.!

Ths came about earlier,and now I'm just curious,as are you I'm betting.do you gig with the pedals you build? I have been using mine during rehearsals and the intent is to gig them after the first of the year.what say you?

So I just finished populating a cave dweller pcb and I just want to say that was the smallest board I have populated so far.it went quickly,but wow is that thing small.

Is there a reason nobody builds volume pedals? I'd like to have one I'm pretty sure and building pedals is way cooler than buying them for sure.

  So I want to build a cave dweller and I have a question with regards to caps. The only cap that is specific to type is the tant cap,everything else just gives values,and doesn't specify box or otherwise. Does it matter as long as the values are correct?
