Sekova Big Muff Model 2015
This is a rare Japanese Big Muff clone made by Shin Ei. It is a clone of a triangle Big Muff, however it has some substantial differences to the triangle Muff layout we have here on the site. The 47n caps in the clipping stages here vs the 1uf caps in the clipping stages … Read more

Lovepedal Amp 11
Here’s Lovepedal’s clone of Paul C’s Timmy again. This time with on-board pots and a slightly modified power section. Sean added some extra power filtering that’s just unnecessary, so I simplified things. Drilling template can be found here.
