Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
An old Soviet overdrive/distortion with some interesting features. The layout is modified and modernized to use three dual 8 pin op amps instead of 14 pin single op amps that was used in the original pedal.
There’s always room for one more Super Fuzz – this time, it’s the Zvex Octane 2, which is a Super Fuzz with a simplified boost stage, and the notch filter can also be adjusted – probably more of a filter depth control than a tone control as such, but that’s just what Zvex called it. … Read more
Mark Hammer tweaked one of the coolest yet most forgotten circuits a few years ago. Roland AD-50 Double Beat was a Fuzz Wah from the 70’s with a fuzz with three tone settings and a “so-so” wah. He added three more tonestings for more versatility. I built the stock Double Beat a while ago and … Read more
Another take one the Bee Baa. Did a version a while ago called Pink Goat with a the notch filter tone setting reworked among other things. Here after some more tinkering we have Stone Bee. Compared to stock Bee Baa it has a bit more gain and less highs in all three gain stages. Tone … Read more
Had an old unverified layout that were pretty much trash. Got a request to build a stock Bee Baa so I drew a new layout for it. One useful mod is to raise the overall output for the fuzz section by jumper 47k and 68k resistors connecting to the Volume control on the on the … Read more
Similar to the Ibanez No 59 Standard Fuzz but with a different tone section and a few extra resistors. If you want a bit more overall output level, 47k resistor connecting to Balance 3 could be can be replaced with a small value or a jumper. Another useful mod is to sub the germanium diodes … Read more
The Tenebrion was designed by CultureJam and is the further development of the Box of Hall reverb. It uses the Belton BTDR-2 reverb brick, which I’ve designed to fit on the solder-side of the circuit board. You should be able to squeeze it into a 1590B.
