Sub-Octave-Effect based on Merlin Blencowe’s circuit. Most of the Sub-Octave effects today (if we talk analog here) are based on the Boss(TM) OC2 circuit. Merlin has digged up another method to generate an octave effect and designed a nice circuit around it. Learn more here: http://www.valvewizard.co.uk/uboat.html This circuit has a few changes to the original […]

This is a well known circuit which features a versatile compressor together with a nice dirt section. The optical compressor circuit can be blended in with the original signal. The compressed signal can additionally be blended with its overdriven signal. Some words about the controls: There are mixed reactions when people are confronted with so […]
Sooner or later there will be a project wich uses rotary encoders and LEDs. I created these two units to test out the possibilities. These are great circuits to be used on breadboard or as a building block in an enclosure. Here are some demo videos of the working units: (It is up to your […]
This is my PCB for runoffgroove’s Ginger bass amp emulation. Here is the link to ROGs project and their soundfiles. The Ginger is modelled after an Ampgeg SB-12 Portaflex bass amp. Board mounted pots can be used to make the build easier. PCBs based on runoffgroove circuits purchased from TH custom effects are intended for DIY / non-commercial […]
Out of my daily building practice I have released my 3PDT PCB to the DIY community.With building pedals there is the need to used 3PDT switches for True-Bypass wiring. Just new: the 1590A version. Considering the tight and different layout of a 1590A build a special version of the PCB is needed.
I always wanted to create my own high gain pedal. Here it is! Featuring Noise Suppresion Boost Switch 5-band EQ to dial in almost any heavy style you have heard (to be purchased separately)
This is my PCB for runoffgroove’s Azabache overdrive. Here is the link to ROGs project and their soundfiles. The Azabache is a Fender-like overdrive covering a lot of their models because of the special tonestack and switching used. Board mounted pots can be used to make the build easier. For reference: (out of production)
This is a cooperation between JMK PCBs and TH custom effects. We aimed for an easy-to-use and no-nonsense version of a programmable DIY true-bypass looper. And here it is: Features: True Bypass relay system Stores 4 banks of 5 presets each (thats 20 presets in total) Manual-Mode – toggle each single loop manually MIDI Out […]
This is version 4.2 of the Pro-cessor. Signal Splitter Signal Mixer two effect loops 24dB highpass and lowpass filters affecting the signals V3.0 version (no board mounted jacks) is back in stock for everyone who wants to do his own wiring! V4.0 features everything board mounted fitting in a 1590B enclosure. It is recommended […]
TH custom effects brings Digtal-FX to the DIY-community! I came across this great little module featuring 16 modulation effects and had the urge to use it for pedal building. Here is what I came up with. A versatile stomp box with 16 digital effects. Easy to use and easy to build. Fits minimum a 125B […]
