Rich Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 New mute switch painted, decorated and hardware fitted. Now to stuff the boards in and wire it. This is the first time I've used a Gørva footswitch and it wont be the last. Very nice gentle click. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim2291 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Finished off my first Fuzz pedal at the weekend... It's just a simple Jeds Peds kit and to be honest, I only built this one to gain some experience soldering again as it's been a while. Sounds exactly like a one knob fuzz pedal... pretty horrid . I was going to get my guys at work to powder coat it... but I quite like the unfinished look... I may have taken artistic licence with the name as well! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate off board wiring too - I think people that do it a lot get really good at measuring ang guiding the wires - I always end up with a big surplus loop. I do a lot of DIY modular synth and some of the modules I've bought from other people - the wiring is so clean it makes me want to cry!

bloke_zero Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Oh, I zoomed in - Frog preamp. How's it sounding? I just FOUND a Huges and Kettner Blues Master left out on a neighbours wall to take - they'd put the wrong valves in it 🤷♂️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know it's not my skill... same with painting a room, I'll paint a large room in 10% of the time my wife would take - but I'm hopeless at cutting in neatly. My day job is as a designer and the idea of solving the problem and designing everything in on one PCB appeals to me. It's a Frog FX1 https://frogpedals.com/index.php/product/frog-tube-preamp-fx1-ruggedized/ which is essentially a Fender Dual Showman / Alembic F2b Preamp preamp running at 450v inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 oh and it sounds really nice. punchy but clear. Not got a bypass switch in it so can't A/B it- whoops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim2291 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 What is the nest place to get pedal kits from? I'm new to DIYing so starting out with kits. I've built a fuzz pedal from JedsPeds, can't fault them but interested to hear what others reccomend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Pedalparts.co.uk or Musikding.de Musikding has a MASSIVE range, just be careful that not all their kits include the PCB, which needs to be added to the order separately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloke_zero Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 2 hours ago, LukeFRC said: what had they put in? Supposed to be an 12AX7 (ECC83) and an EL84. There were 2 EL84 - the ECC83 (as I understand it!) is a preamp, the EL84 a power amp. No wonder it wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus one for both suggestions - they are both really helpful. Pedal parts is more clones and versions of clones (though they do some originals), Musikding feels like it has a wider range of original designs.
