Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Traced by our very own Miro (nice job buddy), and even though this is displaying an unusual lack of originality for EHX, I’m completely prepared to forgive Mike Matthews simply because it will upset Fulltone which is never a bad thing for me. Info about this Voodoo Lab Overdrive derivative: Rich, overtone laden sound that … Read more
Thanks to beedotman for the schematic on FSB. This uses a 4 position rotary switch to swap the output cap, but none of the values used in the switch are confirmed, so as usual with anything like this it’s a much better idea to use the values which suit your taste and gear better anyway … Read more
Request. Info about the hugely expensive final price “can only buy in limited numbers from eBay auction” David Main take on the MK1/ Zonk (7 out of 10 of which are probably in glass cases and haven’t been plugged in yet). I am the fuzz box system demon ~ FZ-673 The beginning. I’ve been brewing … Read more

Madbean simplification of Bajaman’s “Sonic Stump”. As you can see, you’ll need at least 1590B to box this. If you want the same circuit in a smaller A-box, you should check out Madbean’s PCBs.
Keith at BYOC reverse engineered a silver edition Klon when developing a PCB and noticed an error on soulsonic’s 2009 schematic which was a couple of swapped resistor values around the Treble pot. He also noticed a few value discrepancies which probably just amount to the difference between the gold and silver Klons. The swapped … Read more
The latest incarnation of a very popular classic Skreddy pedal. Thanks to mmolteratx on FSB for the traced schematic. Info about Marc’s original: A faithful recreation of that old-school big box that gave us our startCreamy, sustaining, amp-blowing-up, huge distortion with a grainy, ear-pleasing, low-fi edge and just the right amount of ‘hair’Heavy does not … Read more
Request. It’s probably worth considering using 2 independent 500K log pots and separating the boost and drive sides. It seems a little restrictive to have them as a dual pot rather than being able to set their gain individually and of course it may also be preferable to make the toggle a stomp so that … Read more
Just a bit of a bonus utility layout really. I quite like perf with some things, and there’s no doubt you can get circuits more compact than with stripboard. I do find as a building medium it’s more of a pain with larger circuits as making the tracks as you go and trying to keep … Read more
