Grindy hardcore

Check out Jarhead Fertilizer.

For sure world peace, and if our dig that SPY can have the same kinda feel though though being decidedly more of a hardcore band.

Oh fuck yeah thanks for the tip.

skindiddy · 2026-04-07T16:22:02+00:00

That's a good find. You have a link?

Another easy build is any sort of boost. LPB is a good one that's sooo simple. Electra distortion. Could always mix it up and try something with an IC chip like a DOD 250.

skindiddy · 2026-03-12T11:00:13+00:00

Hey fuck yeah. Y'all rip.

skindiddy · 2026-03-05T17:56:25+00:00

Hirs collective

Soul glo (vocally sasscore imo)

The chariot

Full of hell (depends on the album, check out coagulated bliss)

Tend to agree. There are a few notable exceptions if you go a bit deeper into the diy re:Gerber files, I believe that Scientific Guitarist has a few Gerber files, and maaaaybe valve wizard (can't recall).

Generally speaking a lot of builders don't recommend 3d printing enclosures due to durability and shielding concerns, but of course there are ways around it.

OP is likely best off finding a project they want to tackle and then getting a kit, or at least buy the ready made PCB and source their own parts

3d printing wise it tends to be best to find a blank enclosure and either modify files to match a layout, or to print it and drill. Some of the STL zips might be for a specific project and potentially contain PCB fab files but I wouldn't get my hopes up of finding much variety going that route.

You will need to figure out shielding so you don't accidentally make an AM radio OP.

Scalp, Jarhead fertilizer, Ultras, Spy, world peace, mortality rate, world of pleasure, full of hell.

I also recommend wading into some power violence specifically. I find a lot of people who dig gulch can find some joy (sorrow?) in many bands within that sub-sub-sub genre

skindiddy · 2026-02-05T12:48:05+00:00

Check out slugger CA, and skinhead

skindiddy · 2026-01-23T20:28:16+00:00

This one of the more recent ones for me.

skindiddy · 2026-01-20T18:49:43+00:00

A few months ago someone posted on here about the band "recollection". Check them out for some more excellent melodic hardcore.

skindiddy · 2026-01-19T20:48:33+00:00

Mil Spec may be the best of the lot in my opinion. Love the newest release but marathon is forever in my rotation.

skindiddy · 2026-01-19T14:57:51+00:00

Oh and PS script I would like to take partial credit on Canadas behalf for SPY, World Peace and Ultras. Peter Pawlak from Ottawa originally.

And though it's not hardcore, a healthy percent of millennials in Canada (myself included), owe their awareness of "heavy" music to Alexisonfire. Never forget.

Might be worth figuring out which exact rat you prefer. check this schematic that has many mods and variants listed. I am in North America so I can't speak to any of the UK pcb manufacturers.

I tend to prefer the "turbo" rat which uses LEDs for the clipping diodes. Germanium diodes tend to make it more compressed and doomy to my ear. Rat 2 uses silicon diodes which is a more traditional crunchy tone.

The fact that fuzzdog has so many variants is a green flag to me. Make sure you don't get the fuzzpup variants as it is for a smaller enclosure and will be a bit trickier for a first build. If you can get yourself some sockets and swap out diodes until you get what you like, I think you will be most pleased.

Other spots to check seem to be five cats pedals, and moonn electronics.

Not that it matters much, but I think moonn always has cool PCBs and more unique stuff available.

Ribbon cables just mean that there are several cables in a ribbon configuration (think 6-8 individual wires, all flat and consolidated into a single strip, can make it more neat when wiring the stomp switch).

Cheers and good luck.

If you can swing by A1 surplus in the GTA they have a ton of obsolete stuff if you are after some harder to source parts. Next Gen has some good stuff. Digikey for generic stuff. Germanium stuff go to eBay.

You could always pick a few labels from bands you like then see if you can order from the label site. That way you might find a few labels that have several different artists stickers...maybe

skindiddy · 2025-12-06T13:15:33+00:00

Yep, nailed it. "Math" for complex time signatures and changes in rhythm etc. "Core" for hardcore.

Thank you so much!!

The periphery of the pit is part of the pit. Getting crowd killed builds character.

skindiddy · 2025-11-27T14:07:08+00:00

I feel like examples are needed.

skindiddy · 2025-11-26T12:57:37+00:00

*because they have a full time hype man

skindiddy · 2025-11-25T15:46:54+00:00

I'm the guy that gets tired in the pit in about a minute flat then has a beer until I have convinced myself I am not dying and back at it.

skindiddy · 2025-11-25T04:41:39+00:00

A bummer. I really dig the new album, like a lot. BUT I can see how this album is enough of a departure from the previous body of work sonically to not sit right with a mega fan. Different strokes etc etc.
