    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…

The random choices…

  • Resources to get started making stompboxes

    Getting Started Someone asked me about getting started building stompboxes, so I thought I’d put it all in a forum post, for your enjoyment and edification. Become a member of both of these forums. Search, and read what’s posted there. Post your work, and your questions. Lot’s nice knowledgable people. Probably the oldest stompbox forum…

  • 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…

    sort of a heavy duty reverb.

  • Analog delay

    Analog delay

    this is a a clone of the Boss DM-2. I used the Coolaudio V3205. The delay time is fairly short, less than one second. The delay sound is very nice, I can see why people covet these bucket brigade delays.

    I built this some years ago, and lost the ages on my blog so I thought I’d repost them. This was a idea posted by John Hollis, whatever happened to him?
