Happy holidays! We hope you have a good one! …and there’s number of unverified layouts for you to try out this holiday season! Like this one..
Suhr Rufus Fuzz
Happy Fuzz Friday, everyone! Hope everyone is having a good end of the year and holiday season. Here’s the Suhr Rufus Fuzz. If you ever wanted a Fuzz Face with an input buffer and big ol’ ton stack at the end, this would be right up your alley. Here’s the schematic for reference. Should be … Read more
Dylan 159’s Blendy Buffoon
Next up from Dylan159’s Unreleased Circuits is the Blendy Buffoon. We’ve had a bunch of different blend/mix/loop designs up already, but this idea was still missing. Some may have stumbled upon an issue where you couldn’t use a basic blend circuit with the likes of Marshall Bluesbreaker or MXR Dynacomp. That issue is due to … Read more
Dylan159’s Troupple Boost
I’ll be posting a few circuits from Dylan159’s Unreleased Ciruits. There was the Fuzz Facelift posted earlier and i’ll continue with more of these goodies. Next up: Troupple boost. Gamers might get the reference. This came out from my wish for a simple, clean treble boost that could work from a variety of supply voltages … Read more
Danelectro Fab Overdrive
Someone mentioned that the circuit in an earlier post would have possibly been an inspiration for this one. Not sure if i share the sentiment, since that 80’s japanese design and this have basically, or in quite broad terms, just the gain pot method in common with each other. Anyway. Quite a few people seem … Read more
Vesta Fire / Reagun / Nadine’s Overdrive
Second post for today is the Overdrive from Manfred’s trace (at FSB). This comes from the same series as it’s distortion brother (see the earlier Vesta Fire Distortion post), but the design is slightly more obscure. Still, the inverting input filter path to ground gain pot method on a non-inverting gain stage is used. However, … Read more
Vesta Fire / Reagun / Nadine’s Distortion
Not that long ago, Manfred traced his Reagun Distortion unit and posted the results on FSB. These pedals were sold as Vesta Fire, Nadine’s and Reagun brands around early to mid-eighties. All these were made by Shiino Vesta Fire Corporation (SVFC), which became Vestax back in 1987. Designwise these are not bad at all. This … Read more
Exar MM-04 Moon Metal
Next up from Vitalii’s traces is Moon Metal from later Exar series. Youtube demo found isn’t all that great, but there’s very nice EQ section and gain range seems quite good as well. Not a small circuit, but i think this could be quite usable.
DNA Analogic Smoky Fuzz
Traced on FSB by Asbestosaurus, this circuit looks at a first glance a bit like OD250/Dist+, but no. And the Sense control makes this quite interesting. I built my layout version one, but this is redrawn to make it better.. Anyway, nice to see something cool done to a single opamp drive topology.
