BearFoot FX Sea Blue EQ
Here’s a cool EQ/booster from Bjorn Juhl. If pushed hard, it will break up much like a tube EQ would, and adds warmth and clarity to your tone. It uses 2 JFETs and a James style tone stack.

SoulSonic FX Stage Overdrive
Here’s a cool overdrive circuit designed by Martin from SoulSonic FX. It’s said to be a “Klon Killer,” so if you’ve been disappointed by that circuit, give this one a go. Signal goes through a buffer then is split between clean out put and the rest of the effect. So not a true-bypass effect, but … Read more
Devi Ever Electric Brown
Here’s a unique little circuit from Devi. Plenty of gain on tap to go from just a boost, to an overdrive, to fuzzy the more your turn up the volume control. The Pregain control acts more like a tone control, panning between 2 capacitors. The first transistor stage is kind of like an Electra Distortion, … Read more
Fulltone 70
For #fuzzfriday, here’s the Fulltone 70 fuzz. Like the Fulltone 69, the 70 is a tweaked Fuzz Face circuit, following the silicon version. Like the original silicon Fuzz Face it uses BC108 transistors, though others can be used. Q2 should be higher gain than Q1. One of the nice things about the 70 is the … Read more
BearFoot FX Pale Green Compressor
Here’s another great circuit by Bjorn (who also designs all the Mad Professor stuff). It’s an optical compressor that’s very similar to the Mad Professor Forrest Green Compressor. It’s not too heavy handed, and is, as Bjorn has said, “The compressor for people who hate compressors.”
The Green Forrest Comp – Making the world a better place
There’s a reason why the Mad Professor has been around so long. I imagine some long white haired old man sitting behind a collection of giant fluorescent tubes and lightening, creating taboo music devices for the masses. With every new invention he’d hoop, jump, and click his heels as if to have lost his mind. … Read more

Angry Beard III
Here’s another circuit I ran across will going through the Free Information Society site. It’s designed by Jamie Heilman and seems to be like if a Distortion + and a germanium fuzz had a baby. The first stage uses a single op-amp (NE5534 in the original, but others could be used–TL071, LM741, etc) that pushes … Read more
A Small Personal Update
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up: If I don’t post as frequently as I usually do, or don’t respond to comments, it’s not because I don’t love you guys anymore. 😉 My wife and I just had our second son today and I will probably be continually exhausted for the foreseeable future. … Read more
