Runoffgroove Double Distortion

 Here's a great CMOS-based distortion from Runoffgroove. It's actually two distortion in one.

One channel called "bounce" (lead) and one called "jiggle" (rythm). They have individual controls and either can be selected with a 3pdt switch. I got oscillation on the bounce channel, but putting a buffer in front solved that.

"We wanted one channel to sound very amp-like in the classic style. The sound of overdriven Fenders, Marshalls, etc. were a target sound. For the other channel, we wanted something a little more "over-the-top." We wanted a very high gain sound, with a smooth top. Something along the lines of the older Boogie amps."

Dimension P Chorus

Bild
Here is a PT2399 based chorus by Distorque. I was a bit hesitant about this one because of the PT2399, but it sounds great. Very lush and deep. :) Original thread   here .  If anyone wonders, depth lugs 1&2 are supposed to connect from two point on the board. It's not a typo :) Fredrik Lyxzén · dimension_p_chorus

Simple buffer and phaser inverter

Bild
Here is a small utility board - a simple buffer followed by a phase inverter. You can take the output from either stage. It can be very useful if you are adding a clean blend to a circuit that is inverting the phase.  I recommend putting this in front of your main effect, but keep in mind that not all effects will respond the same with a buffer in front.  I didn't include polarity protection, DC filtering and an output capacitor since this is meant to be used together with another effect (not stand alone). This circuit is pretty much opamp basics 1. Could possibly be improved with some filtering caps.

LED VU meter

Bild
Here's a fun and useless little gimmick that you can add to your pedal - a LED VU meter.  This was a layout I originally made for a microphone preamp. But it works well in a pedal as well. Here is a Roger Mayer Moongoose pedal that I built, with the LED meter. I also used a fader for the gain pot that I salvaged from an old broken small mixer.
