Os Mutantes Fuzz
Got a request for this one and thought it’d be a good Fuzz Friday layout. It’s got a fair amount of treble and grit on tap and should fit pretty easily in a 1590a. Schematic here.
Lovepedal Jubilee
Here’s Lovepedal’s Jubilee–pretty close circuit-wise to the Purple Plexi and Black Magic. Should be a pretty quick build. Note, if it sounds too dark, replace the 47nF cap with a 4.7nF cap. Schematic here.

Schematic can be found here. Pots are board mounted and I’ve tweaked the Yoko switch to just be a toggle instead of … Read more
