Emerson Custom Guitars Em-Drive
This is a really simple circuit looking at the board, but we didn’t have a pic of the back and on the breadboard my suggestions didn’t sound right, so I shelved it for a while until I could get a look at the unit myself or at least a decent pic of the rear of … Read more
Suhr Riot – Fixed
I’ve put a couple of Suhr Riot layouts on here, one from Madbean’s take on it, and one with jymaze’s popular modifications, but it was always felt that something wasn’t quite right. Fortunately MarkGor on Freestompboxes traced his pedal and also removed some of the components so they could be measured to check the values, … Read more
MXR Commande Overdrive
This makes it 98. Been one hell of a month in so many ways. Before i figure out what to draw as number 100 (yeah, you’re right – we’ll need two more after that, since there’s two notification posts this month), i thought i draw up something that apparently is the worst overdrive pedal in … Read more
Jen Fuzz III
Pretty close to the earlier version of Jen Fuzz, and i may have promised not to do Fuzz Faces nor Benders, but here i go again… Seems to be a classic – so some of you might want to clone this one to the specs too.
Fulltone 69
Request. As everyone knows this is Mike Fuller’s version of the Fuzz Face, but it has something that we haven’t included in the multitude of Fuzz Face layouts we have on the site so I thought it was worth adding a mojo layout. Sticking two fingers up at convention Mike called what most would consider … Read more
BBE Green Screamer
The Green Screamer is an overdrive pedal that produces a dynamic range of smooth and warm overdrive tones associated with vintage tube amps. Robust build quality and rugged engineering ensure that the Green Screamer will stand up to the abuse of life on the road. Other features include hardwire bypass, LED operation indicator, non-slip rubber … Read more
DOD FX55-B Supra Distortion
Why not repeat the same perfect scheme that worked pretty well ten years earlier?
DOD FX55 Distortion
This one apparently has the same circuit board as the FX50. Original used TL062, so TL061 is probably the right chip for the job. Like FX50, the other half of the opamp didn’t touch the signal path when engaged at all, so i decided to go with a single.
DOD FX50-B Overdrive Plus
Here’s DOD’s step up from FX50 🙂 Just finished building this. The pot tapers are not mentioned in the schematic, so i went with the usual tapers from most designs. However. Volume needs to be linear and drive reverse log to get the circuit act like the original unit. Other thing was the 470R resistor … Read more
