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
This is pretty much a souped up DOD250/MXR Distortion Plus derivate with more gain on tap and useful gain control. But the most interesting thing is the “Sens” control which pand between a low pass filter and hard clipping diodes. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
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.
TC Electronics Mojo Mojo Overdrive
Per request. The layout stays mostly true to the schematic. One half of the op amps was unused to I used it for buffered Vref which doesn’t hurt. Quite an interesting design if a bit over engineered.:-)
GHOST EFECTS: Sounds of Today
The Sounds of Today is Ian Sherwood from Ghost Effects adaptation of the MKI Tone Bender. It’s all explained by Ian here, with photos. There are also plenty of photos of these in various stages of construction Instagram too, so you can see a few variations along the way. Short story: The attack has been replaced with a fixed resistor. The resistor … Read more
