Let's see your finished DIY projects!

Subarashi boxed up - aka as TAFM; a pedal I failed to buy for years ... so finally, here we go. (Thanks Deadend)
I used a Toshiba 2SA93 for Q6 and a GT308B for Q7 (D9E for the GE diodes).
It sounds AWESOME - also on guitar.

And the EQD Zoar. I made that for my cello playing friend. It really fits the instrument and sounds amazing.
As she always makes fun of my "immature" graphic choices, I gave her Borat - umh, no wait ...

fun watch - Zardoz

Lemmy bore ya some more ... last Deadend ... for now, 'cos I'll need that Kruger whenever it's back in stock.

Decided to close up my open Schumann loop with a Lion. Having traced the original, I was recently put on to the existence of a master volume custom unit, #52. So, I added a toggle to have access to both #29, and #52 units. Hence, 2952. This was the only Schumann build that was outstanding in my collection.

Here's my Sushi Box/C2C Bass Dude, sounds glorious.

his Dudeness!

I wanted the Gain to stay clean for at least 50% and then get into OD territory, so I put a 12AY7 / 6072A into V1 ... and a 7025 WA in V2, both from TAD.
Turned out pretty good, here are some notes on the E string to illustrate.

quick test of the gain range, bass and treble are always on 12 o'clock or 50%. when turning up gain, master gets adjusted (turned down).
0:00 clean
0:07 gain 9pm or 25% (master between 1 and 2 pm)
0:15 gain 12pm or 50% (master 12pm or 50 %)
0:25 gain 3pm or 75 %
0:33 gain 100% (master around 9-10pm)
0:42 clean

Harmonic Energizer

listen to ufomammut!

The PCB (from circuitbenders.co.uk) is actually called Harmonic Engine and it is a clone of the Harmonic Generator, a projekt by Paul Williams, published in Electronics & Music Maker Magazine back in 1981.
This circuit uses the 4046 PLL chip (and a lot of others). The squarewave can be set to different octaves (from -3 to +3) with the OCTAVE rotary switch and it can produce 3rd and 5th harmonics via the toggle switch .... Well, that's the theory.
In practice it sometimes glitches and struggles, unless you play clean single notes, often resulting in beautiful chaos and bizarre sounds.
I really like it - as most PLL things.
Here's a sample on guitar.

And a clone of the EAE Dagger, on a PedalPCB pcb. There are 2 OP07 in there and the GE diodes I used (D9B) had a forward voltage of 0,3V.
Very cool drive. Sounds great on bass and guitar.

now go and build something!

Remake of the Ibanez/Maxon POD-1. This was originally all analog signal chain with all digital controls. Got rid of the digital crap, and replaced it with good 'ole pots. Also, the original was housed in a cheap plastic case. Surprised any of them made it out of the 90's.
This is one half TS, one half Rat, and you can flip between the two. Also sports a clean out, if you want to feed other stuff. The Punch, Bite, and Frequency controls are really interesting, providing a whole slew of different tone possibilities.
