I'm a fan of the AMZ mini boost. Also another for LPB!

Hi my name is Mike and i'm a fuzz junkie! haha...i'm Mike and I reside in Massachusetts.

The Used: Artwork
A Static Lullaby: Rattlesnake
Hands Like Houses: Ground Dweller
Dance Gavin Dance: Downtown Battle Mountain II

I would absolutely grab one of these. I just finished a MB Smoothie and love it! Next is a Phase 90 then i might attempt a Phase 100 if GGG still has some boards when i'm ready.

This is Fantastic!!! I love the simplicity of the art. Also, DAMN!, you know how to cram a pedal in a 1590A! That's impressive. Where is that board from? would like to possibly grab one?

Hey Guys,
     Looking for some help/advice. So I decided to build a zombie chorus...against my better judgement. I'm having some issues getting it going. I'm getting dry on and off but there is barely any modulation coming through. When I turn the rate pot there is an effect but not when it is stationary. I've tried 5 different MN3007 chips and 3 different CD4046BE chips too. I also put a new set of TL072 s in there. I also tried cutting a new strip board too. This thing is starting to drive me nuts. I did order a Pork Barrel and started populating it but i still want to get this going to. Here are the voltages and a picture of the layout I used.

How did you illuminate the base plate!?!?! I must know!
PS. these look great!!

I've always liked the Soda Meizer too! Devi Ever / Effector 13. Look it up!

It certainly was a feat! For such a small board it was a pain in the ass. This is a Tayda enclosure and I read that they are 2 mm smaller than the Hammond. That 2 mm makes a difference.

Hey Guys,
    This is the first build I have posted on this forum. I've built a bunch of pedals but for some reason decided to post this one. This is a vero/strip board layout of the AMZ boost. Hope you like it!!!

One of my favorites is the wholly mammoth...so meaty!

Midwayfair I love the nature dweller you did! I'll look into the mods you were talking about for the Afterlife. sounds kinda cool Thanks!

Hmm, also good to know I was looking at mouser and digikey this morning. I'll give them a looksy too!

Thanks Bean! I will defiantly try the vibe cap change for the smoothie.

Ship time is usually what makes me (personally) stay with or bail on an online retailer. If there is no tracking...goodbye. If it takes 3 weeks to go from NY to MA (where I am), see ya later. I understand that we are a all at the mercy of the postman but there is a line for most of us.

On another note, I just checked out www.3pdt.com and there are another Tayda. Located in China, sells knock off boards, fairly inexpensive. They do sell capacitor and resistor kits though. I think I saw a transistor and ic assortment too. Cheap enclosures and switches. Have no idea about the quality tho.

I have tried Mammoth, wasn't blown away by them but also wasn't let down. Tayda has, of lately, been adrift in the ocean that is my patience. They have messed up my last 2 or 3 orders and the 3pdt switches fell apart when I needed to desolder. Plus half of the j201s didn't work. That is why I started this thread. Wanted some reputable sources. You guy rule and are always full of great info!
