Really nice club!!
I have build a couple of simple pedals. The first one was a true bypass strip with four loops a and a master switch. the last loop has a toggle that engages a feedback loop.
The second project was an A/B pedal that goes in front of the true bypass strip so I can switch between bass and guitar during improvisation with a looper.

Finally, just finished my first real effect, a Green Muff clone from a musikding.de kit. Added the mid control mod and a toggle to bypass the first diode pair.

The images on the pedals are from my some of my favorite comic books, Love and Rockets (locas), Asterios Polyp, and Buba

I just finished this one (a Hexe Tadek Compressor). I usually use vero board but on this one I etched my own PCB and etched the enclosure:
I'm guessing that this is the circuit that Palmer used for their Bazz pedal - it's a pretty unique sounding lowish gain fuzz.

who here makes their own DIY effect pedals?
I've been trying to, i understand most of it conceptually, but i suck at soldering, so my projects so far have all failed, and other forums aren't as friendly / helpful as this is...

Flawless as always! Where do you get those metal washers for the switches?it's a AUX out jack.
and yeah, I built one of those too.
What does the aux jack do? Clean signal or dirty signal? And where does one get one of these fine boxes?it's a AUX out jack.
and yeah, I built one of those too.

Thanks! I have yet to source anything from them, but I'll have to look into it cause I really dislike seeing the plastic washers on some builds.
3 bazz fusses in one box, in parallel?, in series?, switched?, blended?, my next step. It is the stuff in between the effects where my trouble lies. By the way, start with this it is easy the Bazz Fuss, google it.
It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish... I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with 3 of the same circuit in one box. You may have to be pretty specific if you want input.
