Request. Info about the hugely expensive final price “can only buy in limited numbers from eBay auction” David Main take on the MK1/ Zonk (7 out of 10 of which are probably in glass cases and haven’t been plugged in yet). I am the fuzz box system demon ~ FZ-673 The beginning. I’ve been brewing … Read more

Madbean simplification of Bajaman’s “Sonic Stump”. As you can see, you’ll need at least 1590B to box this. If you want the same circuit in a smaller A-box, you should check out Madbean’s PCBs.
Keith at BYOC reverse engineered a silver edition Klon when developing a PCB and noticed an error on soulsonic’s 2009 schematic which was a couple of swapped resistor values around the Treble pot. He also noticed a few value discrepancies which probably just amount to the difference between the gold and silver Klons. The swapped … Read more
The latest incarnation of a very popular classic Skreddy pedal. Thanks to mmolteratx on FSB for the traced schematic. Info about Marc’s original: A faithful recreation of that old-school big box that gave us our startCreamy, sustaining, amp-blowing-up, huge distortion with a grainy, ear-pleasing, low-fi edge and just the right amount of ‘hair’Heavy does not … Read more
Request. It’s probably worth considering using 2 independent 500K log pots and separating the boost and drive sides. It seems a little restrictive to have them as a dual pot rather than being able to set their gain individually and of course it may also be preferable to make the toggle a stomp so that … Read more
Just a bit of a bonus utility layout really. I quite like perf with some things, and there’s no doubt you can get circuits more compact than with stripboard. I do find as a building medium it’s more of a pain with larger circuits as making the tracks as you go and trying to keep … Read more
Pink’s latest original. It’s suggested that “Bloom n’ Boost” switch should be taken as a stomp. And you should probably play around with the clipping diodes too. The feedback loop transistor reportedly needs to be a high gain PNP Germanium for the circuit to work right. Don’t know about you guys, but i’m going to … Read more
Modded slightly to include a Mid Range pot instead of the switch in the original to give you complete variable control of the mids frequency rather than just 3 preset values. I’ve done the charge pump on a separate board in an attempt to keep it 1590B friendly by allowing you to tuck the charge … Read more
