A couple quick builds

[Boba7]

So I just made myself a couple pedals for my acoustic/electric rig that I've been using for recent gigs (acoustic signal split between PA and amps)

First is a modded Lavache. Mods include a 10n to ground at the output (parallel to the diodes), a 100pf cap between collector and base, a bigger input cap (100n), no boost switch but a reduced R4 to get a bit more gain. Gain pot is C500k and I used a 2N3904. It's my favorite Lavache. Such a simple and good sounding circuit.

Then there's a Lectric Zirconia (Diamond comp) running on 18v (the charge pump is right below the DC jack). A stunning compressor, I love it. And the board is just perfect!
Having an EQ bypass switch is great as I find the EQ even neutral affects the sound a bit. Actually with an electric guitar I can't hear much difference, but with an acoustic plugged in I can definitely hear it.
I may try to solder a pulldown resistor so engaging/bypassing the EQ doesn't "pop".
It's my favorite optical comp, (I prefer it to the Afterlife and Mictester Really cheap compressor). I really like the tilt EQ too.

I didn't spend much time on the enclosures, I like a simple look, and I needed to play them quickly so... A bit frustrated I screw up the "CPR" stamps but oh well...

Beautiful work. Those guts are impeccable!

Seems weird to say this, but the minimalist labeling is beautiful.

Thanks guys!

Forgot to say I put a center detent pot for the EQ on the comp and I really like it! I dont build much these days but really enjoyed making these.

both so nice!  that soft switch makes me happy too, really want to start using those

These look fantastic. Agree with the simplistic aesthetics.

Thanks guys!

I changed the comp pot to a A100k, it allows a bigger range of very soft compression, which I like.
Also changed a couple caps to get a flatter bass response with my acoustic. Its probably gonna be always on before eq and DI in my acoustic rig!

There is something magical about your labeling. I don't know if it is the font choice or what but I truly love the way your pedals look.

Clean guts..

Thanks! Means a lot coming from you...
