Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Once again, not much info on this one, but was made way back in ’92 and for a limited run. It’s a booster that’s more of a midboost/cocked wah tone. Unfortunately, there’s 0 videos I could find of it, but once again if it’s a Way Huge pedal it should be awesome. What’s interesting is … Read more
I was just reminded of this one on FSB and although there are already vero layouts available, I thought it was worth adding to the library for the sake of completeness. Positive ground so watch the daisy chaining or try the voltage inverter. David Main’s words: “This circuit is a little different to a stock … Read more
I thought a tutorial on how to build on perfboard would be a good addition to the blog. There are lots of ways to do it, but this video shows how I do perf builds and how the perf layouts are designed to be built. I filmed this ages ago with great intentions, but it … Read more

So for #500 it has to be something cool, so here’s a really unique fuzz from Spaceman Effects–the Gemini III Dual Fuzz Generator. As the name implies, it has 2 sides: silicon and germanium. The Blend knob pans between the 2, … Read more
Here’s an interesting distortion from Carl Martin. It’s similar to an Escobedo Punch-in-the-Face between 2 opamp stages. Board mounted pots and will fit nicely in a 1590B. FSB schematic here for reference.
So I randomly stumbled across the schematic for this one over at FSB and as always thought it would be a nice addition. Just like any other Way Huge pedal I think it sounds badass. From the Source: The mighty Angry Troll Linear Boost Amplifier from Way Huge Electronics serves up generous portions of volume … Read more

Schematic, sound clips, and more info can be found in the ROG article. It’s laid out for board mounted pots will fit easily in a 125B … Read more
Not much info on this but, it’s a rare West German Schaller vintage “Treble-Bass Boost” from 1968. It typically goes for over $400usd, so fairly desirable. It’s a 2 transistor based booster, with a five position switch that controls the the frequencies being boosted. There’s 2 treble settings, 2 bass settings, and 1 mids setting. … Read more
“The Knockout is a powerful two-filter combination that can make your Les Paul sound like a Strat and your Strat sound like a Tele. Its secret…the Knockout has a 7 pole filter for sculpting the low end of your mids and a 6 pole filter to shape the top end of the mids. This provides … Read more
