Like this, lol. I do different things and custom requests. Different strokes for different folks. It’s all good. Myself I prefer the simple look as well but sometimes I get board.

Any DIY pedal builders on TB? Strut your stuff!

Haven’t posted in a while but I’ve been busy. Been playing with the 3d printer and fusion. Drew up my own housing for one of my Future Impacts and built some clones for one of my boards.Also built a Triumvirate modded for bass. .

just finished this one (slightly modified for bass). it's in a 1590B with all top jacks with a relayed true bypass.
I mostly build for myself. If anyone asks, I also build some pedals for sale.
PedalPCB skeptical buffer was on my “I want to try” and made for someone else- which means I get to try!
Also known as EUNA ‘clone’ - sounds like a nice buffer with eq options - nice tone, not as big improvement as when I stuck a copy of a broughton high pass low pass at the front of my chain so think that will be better for my board.
Eq nice, I can see why Pino would use it, bass boost into a oc2 clone was perfect! Switches off it’s cleaner and mostly sounds like the openness you get when your input impedance is at 3.3M input

Yeah, just because it's not my thing doesn't mean it ain't a good thing. I'm all for letting your creative ideas fly. My tastes have always gravitated toward the minimalist side.
I bought 2 pedals from @disssa so far and I can certify his builds and circuit selections are so good ! Both are permanent on my board !

just finished this one and it sounds nice with a bass:
What type of software/hardware do you guys use for testing frequency response and stuff like that?
I just finished my first Steddi Go!. I have two more on the bench.
Parasit Studio Ladder to the Moon guitar synth. This pedal has a learning curve to find the sweet spots. Use on bass is limited to playing above the 12th fret and it has to be tuned-in like a ring mod. It does make excellent vintage video game sounds when dialed in.
That sounds good, but I don't notice much of a difference between the dry and the two wet signals.

For computer based frequency response testing I use a MOTU 828x interface and either TrueRTA (paid version), Room EQ Wizard (freeware) depending on what I'm testing. I used to use Rightmark (RMAA) for distortion and signal/noise testing, not sure if it works with Win 11 though. On my bench I just go old school with a cheap GW signal generator, ancient Hitachi 30MHz analog oscilloscope, and a Fluke 179 meter. Since I model most things first just testing at a few well chosen frequencies is often plenty good enough, but I do like the ease of archiving results with TrueRTA.
^ thanks for your reply.
i was wondering if it was worthy to upgrade to the Quant Asylum QA403, but my setup which consist of TrueRTA (level 4) with the RME UC sound card, seems enough.

I guess it depends on your listening device? Definitely not a phone speaker, I hope. Through my Sony mdr7506 I definitely can tell a difference.

That's an interesting piece, thanks for the heads up. My current interface is a little bit of a compromise compared the the old EMU one I I used to have as far as noise floor, but for most stuff I build for musical instruments it's still fine. I have access to an AP 1 system at a friend's repair shop a few blocks from my house but I've never actually used it. Just knowing that it's there keeps me GAS free, at least.
Using Sony MDR-V6 and not much of a difference. The Steddi is just an Alembic F2b 1st stage directly into a cathode follower, no tone stack. That's going to be mild.
I made another take at the end, this time XLR and I turned up the volume to get a little grit...
Hope you like it!
Steddi Go! 2
