Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Here’s the next new project from myself. It’s a fun little circuit for you, inspired by Tim Escobedo’s Tripple Fuzz. At lower gains it creates a really sweet tone, push it high and it gets truly evil! Stack it into other gain pedals for an absolute fuzz out heaven 🙂 Here’s the schematic: The transistors I … Read more
Here’s a new little project for you. I designed it for a friend who wanted something that would give his old pedals a new lease of life, well here it is. You stick your old gain pedal into the loop and whoosh -> extra life. More dynamics, more warmth, it’s all there. Here’s the schematic:
The Dumble Overdrive Special has been one of the “Holy Grail” guitar amps for many years. So what are the chances of you getting your paws on one? It is thought that there may only be around 300 original Dumble amplifers in existance with the asking price now from $20,000 – $50,000! That’s probably not an … Read more
Another popular one from Zacky baby. And on the plus side the layout ended up looking like a spaceship out of Gradius 3 :o) (showing my age there!)
The Super Charged Overdrive has been part of the Catalinbread range now for a while – as you can see above it’s had three style make overs so far (the top image showsthe SCOD’s current form.). It’s a fairly high gain beast, and utilises those old Logic chips with their internal mosfets for the circuit’s … Read more
Ahhh, the Dr Z Carmen Ghia. It’s long been ranked as one of the best sounding boutique amps available. It’s an all out take on the classic Marshall 18 Watt, great for any rock tones you need but with a clean headroom that gives the amp some versatility. Here’s the description from the Dr Z … Read more
A quicky for you Devi fans. This is actually a really good sounding overdrive for such a low parts count. I did a layout for this previously based on a guessed schematic but this is the corrected versions from Devi’s schematic.
