Zinky True Grit
Here is an overdrive pedal by Bruce Zinky, the creator of Smokey Amps. Not great videos available at the moment.
Run Off Groove Tube Reamer
Here’s a simplified Tube Screamer circuit from Run Off Groove, the Tube Reamer. Basically, it’s a buffer-less TS without the tone control. The IC can be just about any dual op-amp. JRC4558 or TL072 are good places to start. Should be a great candidate for a 1590a build. For more info, schematic, and demo see … Read more
Let’em Chime
If for some reason you haven’t gotten hip to the Mod Kits DIY pedals and amps, I’m happy to be the one who brings you this very cool like no other little company. Perhaps you’ve been living under a rock? No matter you know now… consider yourself in the cool kids circle. Mod Kits … Read more
BYOC Reverb 2
Got a request to make a layout for this schematic, and it turns out it’s the BYOC Reverb 2. You can use 9mm pots and board mount them from the component side if you like. There are a few jumpers, though one of them (the one by the lower IC) can be eliminated if you … Read more
Death by Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun
Here’s today’s #FuzzFriday contribution: the Supersonic Fuzz Gun by DBA. This one can be a bit finicky, so don’t try this one if it’s your first time. Check out the thread on FreeStompboxes for help with any troubleshooting. I’ve laid it out for on board pots, and you could orient the board vertically (or at … Read more
Madbean Dirtbaby
Lets get Dirtbaby… The Dirtbaby is a recreation of the Deluxe Memory Man with the common delay chip PT2399. The DMM is Delay pedal by EHX which is also able to emulate a chorus / vibrato effect. The edge of U2 is using the DMM for a lot of rythm stuff (fe: U2 Song – … Read more
555 Charge Pump
Yesterday, Ronaldo commented on the Power Brick post pleading for a voltage doubler using the 555 chip. Well, since it sounded like it was an emergency, here you go. 😉 D1-2 should be barrier Schottky diodes and don’t forget the jumper under the IC.
Black Arts Toneworks Black Sheep
Taken from Black Arts website. In all of it’s throwback glory, the Black Sheep. Dirty, mean spirited and a blast to hang around with. You can’t help but feeling a bit dirty when you plug in. Essentially it’s a modded BeeBaa with an input cap selector like you see on the Black Arts Black Forest. … Read more
Power Brick
Here’s a little utility board that could come in handy. It uses a MAX1044 or ICL7660 to convert +9v to both +18v and -9v. It’s essentially the charge pump from the Klon Centaur. I’ve added a 10v zenner (1N4740) diode to protect the IC, but that’s optional.
