No doubt, these are unreal builds. I just made the connection that it's you who did the WEM Project V vero layout that folks have put to such good use. Also, I think it was you who had a really good video in which you tried out different Ge transistors in the Harmonic Percolator circuit. Thanks to that, I'm planning to try out a 2n1305 in a "stock" specs version I'm building up. Otherwise I would've just gone with 2n404a again.

Now, I'm off to research that Infinitphase circuit--not that my vero skills are up to is just yet, though!

All amazing builds. I love that Talkaliser!

Any chance of a schematic or a layout for it? It's so good!

Like I mentioned before, the link to most of the work I've done to date is here; http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/digi2t/

Click on either the "Veros" icon, or the "Information Files" icon to find the layouts, schematics, or build documents. The Talk-a-lizer vero and schematic is in the "Veros" section. Clicking on the icons gets you in, clicking on the image blows it up. If it a PDF document, just click on the "no thumbnail" link, and then click the "Download document" link near the top of the page, below the name and description of the file.

This is really nice. Where'd you find the schematics?


I made everything myself. the schematics are not online anywhere. however, after I built it I noticed that the vanishing point sequencer is similar. I built mine for +/-15v with 0v to +5v cv out. all the inputs and outputs to the CD4022 are buffered by TL072 except the carry out that has no buffer. the carry out is 0v low, +15v high. the TL072 are powered by +15v, -15v, the CD4022 is powered by +15v, 0v. this is the lowest possible parts count you can have in a sequencer and still have input protection and an output buffer. I should have added one more resistor to attenuate the clock divider out.

I got tired of fuzz pedals so I build a fuzz tube amp (which can also do cleans and rock sounds)...

I've recorded a sound sample with the bassiest settings and full gain :) I used a bass cab and les paul with p90s and drop c#

Big Muff with mods.
Pink because awesome.
Battery clip because it's a gift (I don't usually include them because they're evil and rubbish...)

Apart from making cables, here is my first DIY build. Its a 9volt battery with 1k resistor and a two pole switch(?) ending with a mono 1/4" cable. With necessity being the mother of invention, this pitifull project brings me extreme joy :joy: :omg: :!!!: I need this device to send a 5-12volt signal to the trigger/gate input of my wretch machine. The joystick that the wretch comes with sucks because the wretch is such a temperamental bitch. I just need it to keep its VCA wide open so I can drone away.

I built my first pedal recently, just from a build a clone kit. It's my first build, and also the first time I've soldered anything. I didn't really know what I was doing, and just following instructions, but it works! I made a graphic for it and everything. Made a bit of a hash of the hole for the LED, but that's alright. It's only getting stomped on anyway.

It sounds nice and scuzzy.

Yep! Nothing like a Percolator. Whose board/kit did you use? I love the graphic, by the way. I saw someone else do a funny hand-painted one and call it the Cappuccino Fuzz.

When I built one I used a Madbean board, the Perc I have now was built by Officer Bukowski!
