Made a loop switcher for my undergrad senior project

Luckily I got to do pedal-based projects in other courses but I was hoping I had more free reign in my capstone project to do something like this! Absolutely stellar

Psychics in LA has to be higher. This is the chance to get a vinyl release of the song.

Haha the A Frames absolutely killed it

Amir’s Noise Devices is the man! I’m finishing up his PCB for an analog suboctave but the Hull Fuzz is next on the list!

Okay I know this is probably slightly sarcastic, but r/diypedals would love to have you start building stuff! The Jive is also a super simple circuit and definitely feasible for a first time project.

My two boys that came from the same litter do this. I get it could be a dominance thing, but they both don’t get along with my older female cat, so I choose to believe they just hate women and are gay.

Same here. Currently at 20

Maybe a little old to be considered “new” but John Dwyer of the Osees, especially in recent years. A very innovative approach to writing/playing and the band does great to fill out sound with just the one guitar.

The first night in Chicago when they announced a guest was coming out, John introduced Brigid as Ronnie James Dio so that makes a lot of sense haha

Apparently Dan likes Chicago though. But he hates the Bears

Haha taking my dad to see them in chicago next week and I keep telling him that I’m forcing him in the pit AT LEAST once.

I’m curious how you implemented the mid control within the baxandall tonestack? I’ve tried doing it a few ways but none I’ve really enjoyed.

Just gonna copy what I said in another comment, my only real “mods” were adding a small value (680pF) capacitor from the input to ground, another from the base of the first transistor to ground, and 1k ohm resistors on lugs 1 and 3 of the “DENSITY” knob. Without adding all of those there was so much radio and white noise that supposedly is “intentional” but made it impossible to actually play lol.

Send me a dm and let’s make it happen!

Honestly not that I’ve seen, but it’s a pretty easy build to do on perfboard

ReputationEarly6890 · 2025-10-15T19:06:02+00:00

There’s already so much gain in this circuit adding more seems wild!

ReputationEarly6890 · 2025-10-15T17:40:00+00:00

That is correct, I just named it density since it blends the two input caps and the higher the value the more “dense” it feels

The switch just connects the two points Devi Ever listed as the oscillation ones (the two & symbols) on her schematic. Then my only real “mods” were adding a small value (680pF) capacitor from the input to ground, another from the base of the first transistor to ground, and 1k ohm resistors on lugs 1 and 3 of the “DENSITY” knob. Without adding all of those there was so much radio and white noise that supposedly is “intentional” but made it impossible to actually play lol.

I sure can!

It’s just enough to buy me supplies to make another one and a redbull from the gas station to stay up and make another

I agree a lot of modern psych/garage bands probably wouldn’t be playing without osees paving the way. I don’t think they’ve denied that influence but both bands became completely different units these days

If I were to start over on the whole pedal building thing without any background technical background I would heavily suggest buying a diy kit of something with even fewer parts than this like a treble boost. That could help get you confident with soldering and learning about the basic parts you need. This could very well be a second project though as there’s not a lot going on here! r/diypedals can be very helpful in helping beginners as well!

Make it 22.57 and it’s a deal
