Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Got a request to make a layout for this schematic, and it turns out it’s the BYOC Reverb 2. You can use 9mm pots and board mount them from the component side if you like. There are a few jumpers, though one of them (the one by the lower IC) can be eliminated if you … Read more
Here’s today’s #FuzzFriday contribution: the Supersonic Fuzz Gun by DBA. This one can be a bit finicky, so don’t try this one if it’s your first time. Check out the thread on FreeStompboxes for help with any troubleshooting. I’ve laid it out for on board pots, and you could orient the board vertically (or at … Read more
Lets get Dirtbaby… The Dirtbaby is a recreation of the Deluxe Memory Man with the common delay chip PT2399. The DMM is Delay pedal by EHX which is also able to emulate a chorus / vibrato effect. The edge of U2 is using the DMM for a lot of rythm stuff (fe: U2 Song – … Read more
Yesterday, Ronaldo commented on the Power Brick post pleading for a voltage doubler using the 555 chip. Well, since it sounded like it was an emergency, here you go. 😉 D1-2 should be barrier Schottky diodes and don’t forget the jumper under the IC.
Taken from Black Arts website. In all of it’s throwback glory, the Black Sheep. Dirty, mean spirited and a blast to hang around with. You can’t help but feeling a bit dirty when you plug in. Essentially it’s a modded BeeBaa with an input cap selector like you see on the Black Arts Black Forest. … Read more
Here’s a little utility board that could come in handy. It uses a MAX1044 or ICL7660 to convert +9v to both +18v and -9v. It’s essentially the charge pump from the Klon Centaur. I’ve added a 10v zenner (1N4740) diode to protect the IC, but that’s optional.
OCD Pedal The OCD (which stands for Obsessive Compulsive Drive) is an Overdrive Pedal developed by Fulltone. Its a very famous pedal for its drive capabilities (also higher territories, almost distortion like) and its retaining the bass frequencies (a tube screamer kinda pedal is more mid-rangy) The OCD is a very simple circuit and easy … Read more
Awhile ago I saw someone asking adding an +18V inverter to a board and the differences it made in some pedals, as well as what they need to do and worry about. Since there are more then a few people who have added an +18V inverter on a switch so they can switch between +9V … Read more
Back in the saddle with another fantastic build from the good people at Heavy Electronics. I tried for quite some time to get in contact with this very busy cool company, and when I finally did connect with them they were kind enough to shoot out a handful of their awesome pedals. We did a … Read more
Happy New Year, everybody! I hope this year brings you all joy and much soldering. 🙂 By popular demand, I give you the Mad Professor Snow White AutoWah. Now stop pestering me for it. 😉 This was a pretty complicated circuit to fit on a single-sided board, so there are a few jumpers (one of … Read more
