Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Based on on the mighty Roland Bee Baa with some interesting tweaks. The transistor part numbers remains unknown but I giess 2N5088s or 2N3904s are good starters to experiment with. Also, the Gate pot can be subbed for a larger value for a wider sweep and the Filter pot can be subbed with a smaller … Read more
Given that I’ve been playing around with a few circuits using this as a replacement for the opamp, I thought I should make a little vero layout, which can be dropped into an existing circuit to test it. If you are unfamiliar with this, it’s a simplified discrete opamp – basically, build it, and place … Read more
3-Knob Tonebender Fuzz Most popular fuzz circuit besides the Fuzz Face is probably the Tonebender, which is also very simple but has 3 instead of 2 transistors. There have been different variations of the Tonebender Fuzz curcuit. The MKII has two knobs – volume and fuzz – and there are also 3-Knob versions which have … Read more
Cool JFET preamp circuit from Greer. Its supposed to sound like a Brownface-era Fender amp. I’d be curious what it sounds like without the transformer. Should fit just fine in a 125B with top mounted jacks. Schematic for reference.
Klon Centaur The original Klon Pedal is no longer produced and hence very expensive (+7000$ range and up). Thats why there are many clones of the Klon, many different DIY projects, for example the Kliche overdrive, the Kherion Klon from PCB Guitar mania and the AionFX refractor. Ive used the refractor project because it has … Read more
