Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
“This all-analog unit is a reproduction of the tone enhancing circuitry contained within the most widely used wireless system throughout the 1970’s to mid 1980’s, the Schaffer Vega Diversity System (SVDS). Emphatic users of the SVDS included Angus Young, David Gilmour, Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton, Peter Green, Joe Walsh, Don Felder, Elliot Randall, Jerry Garcia, … Read more
For Fuzz Friday this week I give you the Dusky Electronics Hypatia. It’s based on the Bazz Fuss, but with a whole lot more control added gain stages and buffers. Should fit nicely in a 1590B. Here’s the schematic for reference.
Shares the same footprint as G4 pedal but some component values is tweaked for less gain and slightly different overall eq.
Here’s a simple auto wah circuit with a pretty low parts count I thought was interesting. Not a lot out there on it, but it uses a single CD4049UBE to create an LFO and wah audio path. The depth of the effect is controlled by the LFO. Should fit nicely in a 1590B. Here’s the … Read more
Here’s Keeley’s PT2399-based delay that aims to emulate old tape delays. I think it’s the first delay on the blog with built in modulation. It’s laid out with board mounted pots for a 125B enclosure with top mounted jacks. FYI, the trimmer controls the gain of the input stage.
