SMD Transistor PCB
Quality through-hole JFETs are becoming hard to find, replacing them with their SMD version is the best solution. This PCB is designed for placing JFET SMD transistors and easily substituting the through-hole ones in your circuit. PCB https://www.taydaelectronics.com/smd-toto-92-diy-pcb-guitar-effect.html The PCB is marked with D (Drain), S (Source) and G (Gate). The PCB is designed for J201, 2N5457, 2N5458, MPF102... with the pinout as shown in the following figure. If you want to use other types of transistors, please check the pinout in their datasheet. ASSEMBLINGpcb Add a small amount of solder on each pad of the PCB.Place the transistor over the pads with the tweezers. Melt the solder on the PCB pads and the transistor legs. You can use pin headers (40 PIN 2.54MM RIGHT ANGLE SINGLE ROW PIN HEADER) or wires to connect the PCB to your effect circuit. The pin headers can be assembled on both sides of the PCB, depending on the available room that you have around the transistor on the effect PCB. Once the transistor and the pin headers have been placed, you can place the PCB on the original through-hole footprint.

Tubescreamer
The Tubescreamer is probably the most built overdrive pedal in the DIY community. The pedal has a characteristic mid-boosted tone perfect for soft rock and blues. Also, for rock and metal, it can be used before the lead channel of amplifier to make distortion more focused and to cut the low end. The Tubescreamer has many clones and modified versions. Description The pedal has a drive knob, a tone knob, and a level knob. The drive knob adjusts gain, the tone knob adjusts treble and the level knob adjusts the output volume of the pedal. The pedal is used to try to mimic the sound of a vintage tube amplifier. The classic Tube Screamer sound includes a "mid-hump," which means that the circuit accentuates frequencies between the bass and treble ranges (mid-frequencies). Some guitarists prefer this sort of equalization, as it helps to keep their sound from getting lost in the overall mix of the band. (from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibanez_Tube_Screamer)

Charge Pump
With this charge pump (DC pump, volt pump, power pump...) you can have -9V and +18V from a +9V voltage source. Use the -9V output to get a dual power supply or power up effects with positive ground (Fuzz Face, Tone Bender...). Use the +18V output to give headroom to an overdrive. POWER SUPPLY CHAIN WITH POSITIVE GROUND PEDAL A positive ground pedal cannot be directly connected to the power supply in chain with your other negative ground pedals. You can use this PCB to build a voltage inverter and power your positive ground pedal in chain with the rest of your pedals. PCB

HC-SR04 ULTRASONIC RANGE SENSOR
How to set up the Hc-SRO4 Ultrasonic Range Sensor I got 2 of these a week ago there great but there not much on how to set them up so I figured I share how I did it. First off you have to wire it up which from what I have read people was doing it wrong more then once. So here is how I got it to work . I added the serial file so you can use the Serial Monitor to get reading in cm. The zip file has all you need to get this work. Pin 9 is used for trig pin 10 is used for echo. Vcc to 5 volt pin on the arduino. And gnd to gnd on the arduino. Here a picture to make it easy Great little range finder at great price The files you need to add to the arduino ide are here http://sites.google.com/site/be80be/be80be-pic-ing-howto-s/hc-sr04-ultrasonic-range-sensor/HCSR4DemoArduino.zip?attredirects=0&d=1

Mailbox Alert
This is a simple two transistor latching switch that turns on a 555 timer circuit to flash an led. The entire circuit including the battery pack fits perfectly inside an Altoids tin. I mounted the tin in the back of the mailbox with the reset switch and led mounted thru the back of the mailbox. The triger wires were siliconed to the top inside of the mailbox with the trigger switch attached to the inside front against the mailbox door. When the door is closed, the door pushes against the lever on the switch and opens the trigger switch. When the door is opened, the switch closes and trigers the circuit. The circuit can be trigered over and over without reseting the circuit. With the door closed and the reset switch puished, the circuit returns to the standby state. The current draw in the standby state is only a few microamps so battery life will be long. It's cheap, simple and could serve many purposes. Attached are pics of project, circuit and parts list.

Modular PSU
This is a simple power supply with little distribution board, which gives you +/-12 (or even 15, if you want to) and +5 (optional). You can brake the board, if you want to place PSU and distr. board on distance. Also you can connect souces to CV and Gate buses. It is not very useful for most modern modules, but if you creating your own stuff, you can really improve commutation. LM3x7 have to be on the heatsink, 7805 may be in thermal (not electrical) contact with ground plane.

Remote control checker
It would be hard to find a project with less components than this one. Sometimes infra-red (IR) remote controls develop problems with the keypad. When repairing them, it is hard to tell whether or not it is transmitting because the IR light is invisible. This tiny little project responds to the IR light pulses and blinks a red LED as they are received. All that is required to complete this project is to solder all the components onto the circuit board. Please be careful to ensure that the red LED is on the left-hand side, and the black phototransistor is on the right. Leave their leads about 5mm long. The "flat" parts of those devices must face each other. To use it, point the remote control down at the phototransistor from about 50mm away. The LED will blink brightly each time it receives an IR signal. When not in use, keep the project in a dark place and the coin cell will last for many years.

VibroPunk Sequencer
VibroPunk Sequencer This is an intermediate level electronics project. You have to be able to read a schematic and transfer it into real world components and connections. There is no premade circuit board, it uses a blank experimenters circuit board which you have to lay out yourself using the schematics and my pictures. You also need decent soldering skills. That said, it's not too hard if you take it one connection at a time and double check your work. If you can read a schematic and solder, you can build this. Let's look at the parts list...
