Update 201013. Now tagged “On Hold” since there is possible bugs in the schematic.
A silicon tonebender with a nice touch; it has a J FET at the first gain stage. The BC239s could possibly be replaced with BC549 or 2N5088.
A silicon Fuzz Face with some tweaks and mods. Note that the BC183s lacks suffixes. The layout has the common CBE pinout which fits A, B and C suffixes but if using BL suffix you’ll need to twist the legs since those has BCE oinout.
Another old circuit have been under the axe, Jordan Bosstone. An attempt to fatten things up a bit and use a bass gyrator control. Wanted to try out the setup that DOD used in 90’s and ended up with the tonestack from the infamous DOD FX69 Grunge…hence the name of the circuit. Not sure if … Read more
MTK have done some great work on the BAJA 5150 OD circuit to squeeze more gain out of it. And a short video clip. stock settings in the first 20 seconds, after that, the modded settings.
An old school, loud, dirty and sometimes noisy compressor that seems to be inspired by Roland Sustainer. The original runs on two 9v batteries for 18v operation so I included an onboard voltage doubler. It might be a good idea to socket both the LED and LDR to fine tune the the compression.
