ValveWizard Equinox II
Request, and also for those who want another PT2399 based reverb pedal. Not one for the faint hearted with that many links and cuts! :o) One thing you will notice straight away is that this doesn’t have the usual 3PDT stomp switching to bypass the effect. Because it has tails, the stomp will just turn … Read more
Madbean Cave Dweller II Dub Edition
As requested, version 2 of the Cave Dweller with all noted mods included. Info from Brian which can be found in the PDF linked in the version 1 thread Cave Dweller II (“Dub Ed.”) expands upon the underlying design of CDI , but adds an additional PT2399 for roughly twice the delay time. It also … Read more
Madbean Cave Dweller
Nice sounding mini delay, designed by Madbean to fit in a 1590A box, and after checking with Javi this layout should fit in one too :o). Tantalum caps or mini electros may be needed to keep things as compact as possible, and maybe a multi layer ceramic for the 1u. Info from Brian about his … Read more
EHX Satisfaction Fuzz
Note that the C7 and the D2-D3 are not present on the original pedal. There are holes ready for those components. Adding C7 as 4n7-100nF cap will increase bass response and adding diode clipping to the place of D2 & D3… Well. That will make this an different animal.
Grind Customs Electric Boogaloo Optical Tremolo
Another project collaboration between Rej at Grind Customs and CultureJam, similar to the Shoot the Moon but with a couple of subtle differences including a shape switch instead of the wave pot (similar to the 2 knob version we did). If you don’t want to roll your own with the LDR and LED, the Vactec … Read more
Black Arts Toneworks Black Forest
A modern upgrade on the Colorsound Overdriver. I have included a 6 position 2 pole rotary switch and you can do it one of two ways. Use the cap daughterboard I have shown in the layout (which will only actually uses one of the poles), or if you prefer you can just solder the caps … Read more
CultureJam Neptune Delay
Another PT2399 delay from CJ. An LDR with greater than 1M dark resistance and preferably less than 100K light resistance is recommended. I put the resistors in between LDR and LED to add a bit of separation so you can get them facing each other more easily. As usual with these, it’s recommended that you … Read more
NPN Fuzz Face with BMP Tone Stack
This was a request but thought I may as well share it here in case anyone else wants something similar. It’s just a Fuzz Face with Big Muff tone stack which some may find useful, and can easily be adapted for a germanium build if you prefer. I included a graph of the tone pot … Read more
Little Angel Chorus – NYE Edition (AMZ modified)
Jack Orman’s modifications to the Little Angel Chorus, which will hopefully help us get a bit more consistency with the builds. Information about the mods and a schematic can be found on Jack’s blog here: http://www.muzique.com/news/little-angel-chorus-nye/ Currently unverified but based on the verified original layout so should be good to go.
