This remains now a hobby, but I used to do: Handmade clones of Guitar & Bass Effect Pedals / Effect modding / Rewiring and Guitar Setups+levelling+refrets / Amplifier Repairs / General Audio Repairs

HGE Contraptions Boss CE-2 Analog Chorus Clone for bass (2nd version)
* HGE Contraptions Boss CE-2 Analog Chorus Clone (2nd version)
Built this for bass, but it's just slightly different from the guitar one. The owner didn't want the original blend, so I built it in the regular version.
I used shielded wires this time for all the INs and OUTs.
125th pedal built

My previously posted Sencore 60's Tube Tester (changed some parts)
* Got a chance to swap some capacitors and the tube, in my old 60's Sencore Tube Tester
Great tool to have around

HGE Contraptions Catalinbread SFT II clone (124th pedal built)
* HGE Contraptions Catalinbread SFT II clone, with the stoner switch. Very cool QOTSA sounds from this mean od/fuzz thing. I used Motorola MPF4393 transistors as per the original.
(124th pedal built)
IMPORTANT Later Edit!!:
In the meantime I discovered a general error that existed for this schematic on the web, and corrected it for the owner. Now the Gate from the Q1 position FET is seeing a stable voltage. This is totally wrong online and I will do my best to alert anyone who does this to correct this. Basically moved one leg of the 470K resistor at the input 2 rows down(at the other side of the 100nF resistor). <photo below circled in blue>
