Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Slightly modernized and improved. The original ran on negative power supply with low gain jellybean PNP silicon transistors with BCE pinout. This layout calls for low gain NPN silicon transistors with CBE pinots so you can easily socket the normal suspects like PN2222, 2N3903 etc. And a trimpot for the biasing the fuzz section replaces … Read more
A few months ago, Alex and I made an attempt to trace an old polish fuzz/distortion that looked incredibly cool and was supposed to sound in the vein of a Rat or a Big Muff. Soon, we realized that the circuit design was quite unique, not resembling anything else. It is basically a bootstrapped booster … Read more
Another lovely contribution from Chris Stelloh! This layout VERIFIED by Chris himself so it is good to go. More info about this monster is avaiable HERE.
Schematic is avaiable HERE. Note thjat the Deadend mods that are includued in the schematic are omitted for the layout octave trimpot, starve jumper…).
Another contribution from Chris at CDC Fx! This layout is already VERIFIED and good to go. Schematic is avaiable HERE and as you can see the drive section is a modified MXR Distortion+ derivate. You can yeasily tweak it to DOD 250 or countless other variations of the circuit.
