This one is basically two OD circuits in one enclosure so I went with two separate board for the option to only have one in a smaller enclosure. The only differencies between the two channels is the value of the gain limiting resistor at the gain control, the hard clipping diodes and possibly the op … Read more
Boss FZ2 has a very powerfull boost setting which is great for driving tube amps. It also has a powerful eq. Some people requested this, not wanting to build the whole FZ2 circuit which is quite big! So here is two layouts, one stock with a FET input buffer and a discrete FET/PNP BJT op … Read more
I’ve not done a Devi Ever layout here, but I have built one a few years back. Maybe a little overdue, and as I just did the EAE version, I thought perhaps I’m due for a Devi. DEVI EVER HYPERION – VERO LAYOUT HYPERION VIDEO DEMO DEVI EVER HYPERION 2 – VERO LAYOUT It’s the … Read more
The EAE Magic Missile is their take on a Devi Ever Hyperion, so expect some fuzz. You can find the schematic here. Note from EAE: best results were with a 2n2219A/2n2905A pair, which are functionally close to the 2n2222/2n2907 ELECTRONIC AUDIO EXPERIMENTS (EAE) MAGIC MISSILE The previous layout (V1) was missing the 10k resistor to ground … Read more
Here is a layout of an early version of D-120 OD. It is basically a J FET conversion of a Matamp GT120 with some interesting tweaks like diodes connected to the sources for some of the transistors. It also have a clean blend /summing amp circuit. The original had fixed resistors across drain and V … Read more
Schematic avaiable at FSB. Subbed the 6,8k Drain resistors for a couple of 50k trimpots for easier bias setup.
Here’s a transistor based overdrive I came across on FSB. Demos sound interesting, so give it ago. Easy fit in a 1590B.
The Voodoo Labs Super Fuzz is a Boss Tone (Nashville version) with some serious tweaks – nothing to do with the better know Univox Super Fuzz. I’d suggest maybe breadboarding the Boss Tone section first before completing the full build. There’s certainly enough room on the board for a bit of experimentation if you don’t have a breadboard. VOODOO LABS SUPER … Read more
Analog Man’s take on the old and quite rare Sam Ash Fuzzz Boxxx/Astrotone Fuzz. Bigger input and output caps and a resistor swap at the tone control should make this a different animal compared to the vintage pedals which suffered from lack of bottom end and a useful tone control. Various transistors has been used, … Read more
