Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
For Fuzz Friday, here’s an interesting take on the Bosstone fuzz with a few value changes, extra diodes, and a voltage sag control. Schematic and discussion here. I did add a bit of a mod to this–the resistor marked “0-10k” limits the minimum setting of the drive pot. Stock, lug 1 goes directly to ground. … Read more
Here’s a really big one to kick off the week (might be the biggest dirt circuit I’ve ever laid out).

Gotten a few requests for this one and I finally got around to doing it. It’s a bit of a hodge-podge–3 dual opamps, a hex inverter, and a JFET mu-amp array. Definitely not fitting this in a 1590B, but will fit nicely in a 1590BB with the pots board mounted. Info and schematic here.
