My first madbean pcb build.  Actually my first pcb build.  Ive been doing tagboard builds forever but this was so tidy and neat wont be my last.

How are people posting their pics so it show in the box here.

Holy cow! Tayda has pedal pcb's, I didn't know that.  However they are not cheaper than madbeans.

I just want your opinions.  Which one is more fun to play, Univox superfuzz or Foxx tone machine!!

Does anybody know any good power supply layouts?

Pulled some toshiba germanium trannies out of this old radio.

put them in this pedal.  It's a prescription electronics yardbox.

On the left is the yardbox circuit.  On the right is a Voltage Inverter.

I don't know which muff to make.  Mayo, Musket, Pharaoh?  Anyone who plays doom metal, which is heaviest?

How do I turn a 500k linear pot into a 250k linear.  Can i use a resistor.

What's up with this EM Drive?  It's got a lot of hype apparently.  It's like 5 components, anyone know if or why it sounds good?

I got a rams head put together except the transistors.  I got some bc547's laying around.  Are they close to bc550's?

I made a Colorsound Tremolo.  The LED blinks with the speed.  This was the first blinking light tremolo I made and it was a bitch trying to figure it out.  The only thing I don't like is the gargantuous 470nf caps, they were the only ones I had.  Other than that it sounds sweet.

A Ram's Head with four 2n5089's.  It sounds awesome.  It's real heavy maybe next time i'll use 2n5088's or something else.

Do I have to have all the pots connected to the board to test it on my breadboard. Say if the output is connected to a pot can i just put a wire from pot lug 1 to the output to test it or do i need all the pots on

I was bored today so I made some pedals.  I started my day off casually browsing the tagboard effects website.  I ended up frantically throwing these pedals together.  This is addictive.

This is my 5th pedal, a Way Huge Red Llama.  Probably the cleanest inside i have built so far. My previous pedals were very messy.  I made a tim escobedo too many knobs before this. It works but it's so damn messy inside i should post a picture you guys would probably laugh.

This is a lovepedal woodrow i built from a vero layout.  I didn't put a stompswitch because it's a booster i leave on all the time.  I'm still a noob, can anyone give me hints, advice or just tell me what or what not to do. thanks.

i have two unboxed boards that i have been playing. a groundswell overdrive and a lovepedal woodrow.  They sound great when played together how would i connect them in one pedal?

can i attach 2 resistors together? For example, I need a 200 ohm resistor can i attach two 100 ohm resistors and if yes how do I do it?

This is my first pedal build. A Hyperion 2.  It's on a vero layout from tagboardeffects.com, and the parts from tayda. I am amazed. I must get better! I must learn MORE! Now i know why people are addicted to this hobby.

I'm pretty new to pedal building, I've built a few already that work fine, but it seems that every time I socket a transistor or an ic chip it doesn't work. Then, when i solder it directly into the board the circuit works fine. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong
