BYOC Yellow Overdrive. Had the need for an OD-1 clone. Pretty easy; most difficult was wiring up the 3PDT switch (stripping little wires on each end; little room to work with on the contacts)

This uses the original 14-pin chip, not the later 8 pin.

There were 4 different types of BOSS OD-1s:



Tones:




What's the freq response? Nice rounded midrange boost with the peak at 800Hz:

Very nice. How you like it?
I should get into building a few myself.

I have a few strip board circuits that I still need to finish. Since the weather is beginning to go south, I’ll likely get back to it soon.

Totally dig it. Rough take:

Sounds nice! What you running it into, something 800 flavored?

I was almost expecting you'd say the vintage deluxe.

I've played one of those too.

Not sure if it counts as a "pedal", but as it is in a pedal enclosure I'll chance it...

It's the Tone Maximizer 4000 Wireless(tm). Guaranteed to warm and open up your tone by just being in the same room as your gear.

For a while I was building a fair amount of pedals. I got deep into vero board builds using the Tagboard Effects layouts about 10 years ago.

My first ever build was a Madbean Mudbunny that I built into a gutted Behringer enclosure.

Here’s a DAM Meathead clone with switchable caps.

Here’s a Buzzaround clone with extra volume control.

I think I just submitted the last order for the bits and bobs I'll need to build up the nine Aion FX PCBs I have on hand. I plan on taking a couple weeks off for the holidays, so I'll have plenty of time to get several done.

My first and only super ugly pedal build, Angry Charlie V3 clone. I don't like the way it sounds but it sure was an experience. I screwed up at first, ended up desoldering all of the parts and trying again. Ruined a trace on the PCB and used a solder bridge to connect a few parts.

Busy little elf.

I was rearranging some of my boards and thought it was a good idea to take some gut shots.


Top row: Timmy, Green Russian Big Muff, Madbean Slow Loris (modded Rat).
Bottom row: Himmelstrutz Fetto, OCD, Red Llama



I built these in 2012, and haven’t cracked them open until now.

I’ve never built a pedal, I have built a Dumble clone though. I should try it my soldering skills are pretty good;

A friend asked me to build him a Klone. I am pleased with the enclosure on this one.

I finished these Enclosures a few weeks ago now but haven't had time to pop the circuits in them yet. Fingers crossed I'll get two hrs this week to finish the pcbs and drop them in.

I'll do a proper update when they're finished.
