Devi Ever Ruby
Info from Devi about the original: The Ruby is like a Tone Bender, but way classier and secretly more misogynistic. Short and sweet! :o)
Maxon OD808
Info from Maxon about the reissue: Originally released in 1979, the Maxon OD808 was one of the first tube-amp overdrive simulators to hit the market. Its smooth, creamy crunch tone caught on quickly, and helped to launch a long line of predecessors as well as imitators. Today, the OD808 design is without a doubt the … Read more
T-Rex Mudhoney
Info about the original: Mark Sullivan from daddys.com wrote this The Mudhoney is a Distortion/Fuzz pedal with a very wide tonal range. It features a typical 3-knob gain/volume/tone layout plus a boost switch. I played this for a few minutes with the boost off and it is quite impressive; very thick tone with warmth that … Read more

Every single feature that made the Red Llama so mighty is still in place, right where Mr. Huge left them. Season … Read more
Lovepedal Silicon Fuzzmaster
Request. This was traced from some pics and a PCB layout. It’s a negative ground YAFF with PNP silicon transistors for some reason. From the Lovepedal spiel: Your quest for the ultimate Fuzz ends here. Lots of players use it like an OD pedal or full on fuzz, even distortion.. Roll back the guitar’s volume … Read more
NPN Silicon Fuzz Face – Germanium Emulation
From an older thread on FSB and DIYSB about using two pairs of piggybacked silicon transistors to have control over the gain. To paraphrase, these were the main points: 1. Take two identical random silicon transistors (for more mojo: your fav fuzz silicons)2. Tie the BASES together,3. Cut off one COLLECTOR4. connect a 3k to … Read more
