Ace Tone FM-2 Fuzzmaster Stock
I had a request for a stock Ace Tone FM-2 Fuzzmaster and realized I only had a quite heavily modified circuit in the library. So here it is Alex!

HUDSON ELECTRONICS: Broadcast, Point to Point Layout
The Hudson Electronics Broadcast is a great little pedal – while now overshadowed by the Dual Broadcast, which has the high and low gain settings on a foot switch with individual level controls, it’s essentially the same under the hood. I never thought a lo-cut pot would be so useful until trying this pedal. It … Read more
Fuzzhugger Fx Algal Bloom V2 w. blend
Update 201013. Now tagged “On Hold” since there is possible bugs in the schematic.
EARTHQUAKER DEVICES: Terminal Fuzz
The Earthquaker Devices Terminal Fuzz is based on the Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz, with a few tweaks to improve performance and versatility. The first section is actually a lot like a silicon Fuzzrite. Q1 feeds directly into Q2 – they feed into either side of the treble control with quite small capacitors. The treble pot is followed … Read more
MUSITRONICS: Mu-Tron Micro V
The Musitronics Mu-Tron Micro V is a cool old auto-wah / envelope filter from the seventies – I feel I need to be wearing a valour tracksuit, possibly with a half-unzipped jacket exposing generous chest hair with a gold dangler to really play this properly. Maybe a moustache too… I’ve used a LM13700 instead … Read more
DURHAM: Sex Drive
The Durham Sex Drive. Named as such, as it was initially made for Charlie Sexton. This is actually one of the first builds I ever did with an IC using the layout from Guitar FX Layouts – it’s a nice easy one, and it sounds great too. Despite having a compression switch, it’s really … Read more
Solid Gold Fx Rosie
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.
Solid Gold Fx If 6 Was 9 Fuzz
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.
PETE CORNISH: P-2
It has now been traced by Aion FX – updated layout can be found here. The Pete Cornish P-2 is somewhat of a mystery as it’s never been traced, so all information is gleamed and guessed from various sources. It seems that no one, including myself, wants to pay top dollar to de-goop what we all … Read more
