Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
A bit hesistant to upload this one since there is an unknown cap value and pot value. But a quite a few people have requested this one so I guess a 95% accurate trace is ok? Traced by evilarsen, AlexS and myself. It is a Rat based circuit running on 9v/-9v up to 18v/-18v. It … Read more
I haven’t done a point to point layout for a while, and I also remembered that I’ve been meaning to make a Zvex Fuzz Factory for some time, but have never quite gotten around to it. So here it is. I tried a Fuzz Factory using a different layout as one of my first guitar … Read more
This is my first layout for a PT2399 based delay. The Earthquaker Devices Disaster Transport Jr. It’s a pretty cool delay, with some very usable sounds – the addition of the tone control certainly helps, especially if you like something a little lo-fi sounding, or just as a method to filter out noise on longer delay … Read more
This is a simplified version of a Pete Cornish ST-2 (based on the Colorsound Overdriver). I did the full layout, and it it kind of large, and double buffers are not for everyone. So no buffers, and the power supply filtering is simpler. I’m sure the proper Pete Cornish version is probably better, but if you prefer something smaller and simpler, … Read more
A forgotten and quite odd one from the early days of EHX. Despite being marketed as a “Microphone Echo” and having “Echo” as one of the labels for the controls, this is actually a tremolo circuit with some quirks. There is no “Depth” control as in most tremolo effects, instead there are the “Echo” control … Read more
A simple and nasty octave up fuzz based on Tim Escobedos Push Me Push You fuzz. But here, the input transistor is replaced with a LM386 audio amplifier for more gain that pushes the transistors harder. Also, there is also a simple treble cut tone control added.
The Pete Cornish ST-2 is a Colorsound Overdriver with a few mods. The ST-2 is intended to be a tone-shaper; it’s not actually an overdrive. So if you are looking for dirt, you have come to the wrong place with this one. Although one can make a few tweaks to bring some dirt to this, but … Read more
Like the very lengthy title below suggest, it’s a Pete Cornish SS-2 with mods. After finishing the SS-3, they’re almost the same, so I thought I would also do a SS-2 layout. Changes Swapped the Cornish buffer for a standard opamp based buffer Ran the reference voltage through the spare opamp Used a quad opamp … Read more
