Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
And another request. From Culturejam designs. Note from the Man himself: I’d recommend going with a higher value for that 47R resistor. Try 220R, 330R, or 470R. Or even a little higher. The lower the value, the more gain there is, but it’s really noisy at 47R. Like, unusable noisy, at least on my test build.
This is ARC Effects take on the Burns Buzzaround with a negative voltage inverter to provide -9V to allow you to maintain a daisy chainable negative ground, but use the better quality PNP germanium transistors. This is a mojo version as per the first edition of the pedal. ARC Effects make some fantastic pedals and … Read more
This is a really simple circuit looking at the board, but we didn’t have a pic of the back and on the breadboard my suggestions didn’t sound right, so I shelved it for a while until I could get a look at the unit myself or at least a decent pic of the rear of … Read more
I’ve put a couple of Suhr Riot layouts on here, one from Madbean’s take on it, and one with jymaze’s popular modifications, but it was always felt that something wasn’t quite right. Fortunately MarkGor on Freestompboxes traced his pedal and also removed some of the components so they could be measured to check the values, … Read more
This makes it 98. Been one hell of a month in so many ways. Before i figure out what to draw as number 100 (yeah, you’re right – we’ll need two more after that, since there’s two notification posts this month), i thought i draw up something that apparently is the worst overdrive pedal in … Read more
Pretty close to the earlier version of Jen Fuzz, and i may have promised not to do Fuzz Faces nor Benders, but here i go again… Seems to be a classic – so some of you might want to clone this one to the specs too.
Request. As everyone knows this is Mike Fuller’s version of the Fuzz Face, but it has something that we haven’t included in the multitude of Fuzz Face layouts we have on the site so I thought it was worth adding a mojo layout. Sticking two fingers up at convention Mike called what most would consider … Read more
The Green Screamer is an overdrive pedal that produces a dynamic range of smooth and warm overdrive tones associated with vintage tube amps. Robust build quality and rugged engineering ensure that the Green Screamer will stand up to the abuse of life on the road. Other features include hardwire bypass, LED operation indicator, non-slip rubber … Read more
