I've built a few since the last time I posted here.
The Kliche based on the Klon Centaur and I must say that its a great sounding pedal. Muzzle based on Fortin Zuul (made 2 of these) haven't really used this one as much as I was hoping.
Another Fuzz, designed by PedalPCB.
Parentheses Fuzz based on EQD Life Pedal. Not sure about this one when the octave side is engaged. I might have to tweak this one.
I did a dual pedal in one enclosure which I don't have a picture of.. M800 based on the PAL 800 JCM Emulator / Twill Deluxe based on Love Pedal Les Lius.

Are you designing and building pedals from the ground up? Do they come in kits and you build your own? Do you have to have a backround in electronics to do it? A lot of questions I know, I’m really curious.

A lot of questions I know, I’m really curious. I'm not designing the circuits and I get the boards from PedalPCB.com. I just add the components to the board and come up with the graphics. They do not come in kits, but the instructions come with a build of material and I usually get my stuff from www.taydaelectronics.com/ . I have very limited background in electronics. I can read a schematic, trouble shoot components on the board, and good with soldering. I can't tell you if I change out this component and install this component what affect it will have to the rest of the circuit. |

wow !
that's something that I wouldn't ever think of trying. I don't trust myself with electronics.

Keep up the good work! I do a lot of rewiring inside my guitars, but don't have a clue about the innards of effects and amps. Great graphics!

I had a wiring mod done just one time...ever, and that was to my strat and I had someone else do it. Usually, if I had a guitar that had a sound I just grew tired of or I just wanted a different tone on hand, I’d just buy another guitar. The strat (2000 ash body, maple neck, usa) was modified in 2000, the year I bought it. I had 3 seymore Duncan jb jr’s dropped in it, yeah, that’s right, 3 mini humbuckers. Up until I bought that guitar I never owned a fender. It was right at the end of my metal band days and I was sporting 2 Gibsons at the time, a studio and an explorer, played those 2 for about 10 years.
As soon as I started playing the the fender I loved the way it felt, the maple neck was new for me and I loved it. Anyway, I wasn’t a huge fan of the way it sounded after a month or 2, with that hard ash body and the damn single coils that were in it, it was like scraping my fingernails across a chalkboard. What I wanted was a fender sound and a Gibson sound out of the same guitar.
Long story short, the guitar still has more of a fender sound (believe it or not) and can deliver a pretty fat tone when needed. The clear tone straight out of an amp is something that can’t be topped. It was my workhorse guitar when I started playing in cover bands in their early 2000’s. Most of the lp’s I have now came after 2010. I also had locking tuning heads put on it any got rid of the nylon nut. It’s the only guitar I have that’s no longer factory.
