First Post
First post, huh!? For what? Well, just a library of stripboard/vero layouts. Mosttly fuzzes, distortions and overdrives with some modulation and filter effects thrown in. This place isn’t a blog per se, instead it is a resource and library for any DIY’er ou there which loves dirty sounds, solder fumes and old transistors. Almost all … Read more
EQD Bows
Here’s Jamie’s take on the classic Rangemaster circuit, with a NPN germanium transistor. There’s an added toggle to switch between full range and treble input caps. Probably a tight a squeeze in a 1590A but should be doable. There is also a 1590A specific PCB with board mounted pot and switch in the store now … Read more
DeadAstronautFX Skinwalker
Here’s a cool original design by DeadAstronaut. It’s a cascaded JFET/mu-amp based high gain distortion with a 3-band EQ. Original build doc with schematic found here. Laid out for a 125B enclosure with top mounted jacks.
Buffalo Fx TD-X
This one’s inspired by the BK Butler Tube Driver made famous by David Gilmour (and a few others). It does away with the tube and replaces it with solid state circuitry. It’s essentially a RAT with soft clipping and a 2-band EQ stuck between a buffer and an extra gain stage. Should fit nicely in … Read more
