Built my second Rullywow QoB pedal for a second rig. I really like the 18v/9v jumper option. I still really want to build the MB 8ball also but need to get the the moodring and dirtbaby I just ordered for finished first. I popped one of the LEDs with the trim pot so I have to fix that today, but other than that good to go. I've been working on getting my wiring neater and am pleased with how this one came out. Using solid core has made wiring a lot easier. Also I feel it's less likely to break. I was using stranded and after a while of having the wires they seemed to have gotten real hard, almost stale, and break easily. I'm going to stick with solid core for a while from here on out.

Thanks for the reply! What about swapping film for electro?

I'm short (2) 1uf film caps for the kingslayer, just an oversight when ordering.

Could I substitute with a nonpolarized electro? I went to Frys and the film 1uf's they had were 200+ volts and massive so I grabbed some nonpolarized electros, but don't want to use them if it will affect the quality of the circuit

Clipped the jumper on the lugs, but still a pop. I'm just going to add a optical clickless, if that doesn't work I'll rewire the LED off the board. My fault for not rocking before boxing, but I don't mind, trouble shooting is what has helped me learn the most about building pedals

Hey guys so it's hard to see in the pic but I wired it exactly like this picture I will clip the wire in the lugs tonight to see if it helps. Great suggestion, thank you!

I built the nucleon superfuzz over the weekend, first build of 2015. It sounds great, and I learned a lot about silicone transistor matching. Right now q4 and q5 are at a hfe of 590 and 600, so I guess that's a bit high, but they are socketed so I can change them later.  I did get a switch pop when activating. I tried alligator clipping a pull down resistor, but it didn't help. I think it's the switch so I'm going to have to replace it, which sucks because this is my cleanest wiring job to date. And I know, rock it before you box it, but I never have (because I don't know how) and am impatient. This is my 18th build and have been able to get everything else to work, but should probably look into a testing rig.  I think I might add a optical click less to try and fix the pop. Also I had originally ordered cream fender cupcake knobs, but one didn't fit so I hit it with a rubber mallet and it cracked, haha oops

I received a SMD Cornish Buffer from Aballen and just put it together today.  I was a bit worried about fitting it all in to a 1590lb, but was able to do it.  This was my first time using a 3mm waterclear led. I wasn't sure what resistor to go with so just used a 4.7k and am happy with the brightness. Thanks again Aballen for the PIF!

Wow looks great! Is this a 1590B or 125B?

Looks pretty clean to me! How do you like using the solid core?

Solid core was great, I think with better planning I could make the wires very neat, which would be cool. I'm wondering what the downside is to solid core? Maybe it's easier to break than stranded?

Built the Multiplex and really like it! This was my first time using solid core wires, but wasn't able to make it really clean. My only regret is the the 2 LEDs aren't centered well, but I realized that after drilling, oops.  There is a pop between the binson echorec mode and the Re-201 mode, but I watched a bunch of demos on you tube and they all seem to do that.

I really like the Binson mode and how you get a really lofi type analog delay. Pretty happy with my first delay build!

I spent 3 months trouble shooting a em drive, which should be so simple.  Turns out the output tip was touching the enclosure at the exposed portion of the base.

Which store is yours again?

Smashing and tidy! Looks great, how do you like the sound?

thanks! I like it, it's not my favorite sound though. My impression is that it's pretty gritty and I prefer more creamy and smooth. It won't be an always on pedal for me like the klon and timmy, but I'll have fun with it.

Here is my Darkhorse Duplex Drive, although I can't take full credit because I bought the board pre populated from this forum.  It was a tight fit, barely made it.

Here is my Madbean Honeydripper build. I did pretty much all the mods, but this thing was so loud with a 300k resistor in R5, that I changed it to 100k. It still is above unity with the 100k. I accidentally scratched the top tightening one of the lugs, oh well
