Any DIY pedal builders on TB? Strut your stuff!

Thanks! Graphics are printed on adhesive foil, that I simply stick on there. I use some varnish (for oil paintings) to seal it.
After some basic testing, I prefer Mastotron into Meathead for the first pair and Peach into Octave for the second.
I just realized, I forgot to turn all 4 of them on ....
First build! Stomp box parts Klon kit that came with the pedalpcb kliche pcb. It was a lot of fun and have parts arriving for another soon.

my latest cross-mix in a 125B with a phase switch:
It's always kinda tough to post after JohnK, those are super clean builds. I would love to build an Ampeg Sub Blaster, or a Mini, or anything SS/BS actually, but haven't found a PCB yet.
Anyway, here's something from EAE DIY: the BEHOLDER. Electronic Audio Experiments calls it an "aberrant reverberator".
It's is a fuzzed-out, droning reverb pedal, with the "wrong" order, as a reverb circuit goes into a dark, high-gain fuzz circuit.
There's a pretty cool "dry" trimpot inside, that lets you route some of the clean input signal around the reverb circuit into the fuzz circuit.
"Anyone who uses this pedal should really prepare for people to hate their music" is the quote on the PCB. Suits me just fine

i found the schematics for the Mini and TAFM (and still own both of the originals), then etched my own PCBs for them so i could make sure that they were tuned the same..
here's a couple of pics of the TAFM:

Nice! Is your TAFM the NPN version or with PNP tranistors? I think SS/BS made both versions, but mainly PNP?
PedalPCB Hyped Fuzz with modified layout for side jacks.
PedalPCB DuckBox modified to fit into a 1590B. Kid painted disco duck.

I aim to paint every pedal a little different from the last and frankly I run out of ideas at times. It's nice to have the fresh unfiltered view of kid to come up with new ideas. They think up things that would never pass my mind. If I tried to paint people and animals I would have to pass it off as kid painting anyways

I need to up my artwork game. I have limited resources for computer software and printers, anyone have any advice on great looking low-cost options?
I'm getting back to the MeatSphere filter pedal I started last year while the parts for my most recent PedalPCB order are in transit. I finally get to use that Hammond 1590DD enclosure I bought 20 years ago, Ha!
I have the layout/drill template done on Front Panel Express. Just need to figure out the artwork first....

I saw this on Reverb and wanted to share here. No affiliation with the seller
