Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
There was a mistake on the layout, that’s now fixed. This calls for both +9V and -9V supply. Use of inverter pump daughter board is recommended. The GEU is good sounding octave fuzz, with an optional mode of just fuzz. The fuzz is a fully rectified signal and is quite chewy. For some the Fuzz … Read more
Seems like i’m on fire with the requests today… Here’s Pete Moore’s RangePig – an adaptation of Rangemaster with single low gain germanium transistor configured with modern silicon counterpart as darlington. Note that this is a positive ground effect, so you can’t daisy chain this with other boxes that use negative ground. A simple pump … Read more
Per request. The original design had couple of things i had to mod to get this stripboard and/or 1590B friendly. First, there are two dual opamps in the original box, and they are used in quite peculiar manner. The first one is TL072, which has other half as input buffer for bypassed signal and other … Read more
Another request. Aron Nelson’s Lava Rim 2. I have no clue why the input level control pot is called “Bias”. That’s the reason why i used quote marks around it…
From Solgrind blog. Simple, but apparently great sounding addition to mini booster pot. And nice reason to source some JFETs with DGS pinout – Just in case you didn’t have any 😀
Another request. Wampler’s mods for MXR Distrotion +, as seen at Premier Guitar magazine’s website.
And another request. From Culturejam designs. Note from the Man himself: I’d recommend going with a higher value for that 47R resistor. Try 220R, 330R, or 470R. Or even a little higher. The lower the value, the more gain there is, but it’s really noisy at 47R. Like, unusable noisy, at least on my test build.
This is ARC Effects take on the Burns Buzzaround with a negative voltage inverter to provide -9V to allow you to maintain a daisy chainable negative ground, but use the better quality PNP germanium transistors. This is a mojo version as per the first edition of the pedal. ARC Effects make some fantastic pedals and … Read more
