Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Uh oh, everything Josh does at the moment seem to hit the fan… *update 230421* The cap avalues and transistors is now figured out for both the big box version and Nano version. An additional layout for the Nano version is uploaded. Big box version Nano version Demo by Mr … Read more
Schematic is avaiable HERE. A few things keep in mind for experimenting… The resistor across the Gain Boost switch is labelled 100k in the schematic which seem to be quite high.Try a smaller value for R2 or jumper it if you want to omit the Gain Boost switch altogether. For a mor Trebkle Boost switch, … Read more
Happy Fuzz Friday everyone! You probably didn’t miss this collaboration between Josh Scott and Mike Matthews, and because of the old school style of the big box version, it wasn’t to hard to trace. There’s still a few things we don’t know about the circuit, so have your sockets handy if you put this together … Read more
So just out, and with all of the suitable hype and controversy expected – the EHX / JHS Lizard Queen. Trace and discussion in progress on FSB – it looks relatively similar to some old DIY designs out there, which is the cause of much of the controversy. Well, not so much what they are based … Read more
I purchased a sheet of phenolic board locally to make some MKI boards, as I didn’t want to pay $25 postage on a $3 board from the USA (postage to Australia is often a killer). I couldn’t find a template anywhere, so I reversed one from a product image online – I did make one … Read more
Yes, Modulation Monday is back with the Ross Phaser. It’s not for the feint of heart, but doesn’t require any JFETs, matched or otherwise. Instead it uses OTAs with 3, LM13700N (one for the LFO, two for the audio path). Should fit nicely in a 125B with top mounted jacks. Schematic for reference.
A pretty cool design, this. A FET booster that slams a FET Fuzz Face with hard clipping LEDs. All 10k Source resistors is replaced with trimpots for yeasy biasingg. A big thank you to Deadend Fx for the trace of this rare bird that was old in Japan in limited quantites before the millenium. Schematic … Read more
mellasse sent me a schematic for an old Guytatone fuzz, Guyatone DS2 Sustainer. Looking at the schematic I noticed it was really similar to another Guyatone offering, HD Harmonic Distortion. The main difference is the tonestack, HD2 is scooped and SD2 is more mid focused. So this layout have a switch for both SD2 and … Read more
