Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
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.
With all the recent talk and hype of the DigiTech Bad Monkey lately, and the sky rocketing prices of them on Reverb, a layout seemed to be in order. I used to gig with one of these and loved the Low control on it. Helped it stand out compared to other TS-style ODs. So it’s … Read more
New Year, might make Modulation Monday a thing. We’ll see. Anyway, here’s the EQD Hummingbird V2. It’s derived from the Vox Repeat Percussion and now updated to use the 2N6027 in place of the obsolete 2N2646. There’s also a couple other improvements from the earlier version so a new layout seemed like a good idea. … Read more
I recall reading how most of the Mudhoney DIY builds were just not sounding right.. Recently re-traced on FSB by Kasper, from his V1.1 version of the pedal – there may have been a fault with the schematics that previously floated around the web. When i saw this, i thought “the switch shouldn’t work like … Read more
This one was recently traced on FSB and as i have a soft spot for Devi & Dwarfcraft circuits alone and together, i had to draw it up.. A bit like original Soda Meiser, or at least some revisions of it, but this time with a Chaos switch and a Drone-knob.
2023. How the heck are we still alive.. No matter. Let’s do another layout or two. This time, another nice, loud little circuit from Dylan159’s Unrealeased Circuits – From the source:Boot Fuzz. I found this simple old-school microphone preamp, and noticed the similarity with the Fuzz Face, also claimed to be based around a microphone … Read more
It’s christmas day! So it’s time for another noisy octave thingy in style of LAL!
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..
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
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
