Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Drew this one up some time ago and thought i’d post it up. It’s basically Mark’s layout for Keeley 4-knob style compressor with slight tweaks and more notably, an addition of mix/blend/ratio knob. As some of you already know, the basic CA3080 compressors like Ross, MXR and derivatives reverse the signal polarity and thus, the … Read more

Happy #FuzzFriday! Got a request for this one. It’s the classic silicon Fuzz Face circuit with a few added components.
Got a request for this one on the Facebook page. The original Rocket Fuel is an overdrive and a boost in one 1590BB enclosure.
