Aion Fx Antipode / Roland AF-60 Bee Gee
Aion Fx take on a pretty rare, forgotten and old fuzz box by Roland. Some useful addons is made. A gain control is added and a series resistor before the volume control is removed for more overall output. I added a tone selector switch for the tone control since the factory schematic and Aion’s schematic … Read more
AION FX: Zircon / Hot Silicon Fuzz
The Zircon is Aion FX’s take on the Hot Silicon fuzz – which is of slightly disputed origin, but we’ll leave that well alone. It’s a silicon Tone Bender MKII, with a Big Muff style tone control. Aion build docs, including schematic and biasing tips can be found here. AION FX ZIRCION / HOT … Read more
FOXX / AION: Tone Machine / Vulcan
After recently finishing a mojo size / vintage transistor Tone Machine that has been sitting on the bench for way too long, I decided to do a regular layout, as the practicality of some of my other layouts for the Foxx is probably not for everyone (maybe even me in retrospect). So I’ve done a standard … Read more
Crowther Hot Cake 2008 version
Mode and XLF switches was internal DIP switches in original units but is moved to the outside per Aion Anomaly Vintage Distortion project. Schematic and circuit info is avaiable HERE.
Dinosaural OPA-101 Overdriven Pre Amp
Just traced by Aion Fx as their Ixuea project. This layout is slightly modified compared to the original pedal. First, stock units had a fixed low pass filter before the volume control. The resistor in the filter is now replaced by an external tone control. Secomd, it is wired for true bypass with the input … Read more
Echoplex EP-3 Pre Amp / Aion Ares
Aions Ares project which is based on Echoplex EP-3 Pre Amp which includes an onboard voltage doubler for more headroom. Schematic and info on J FET selection avaiable HERE. ‘Note that there is two ground connections on the board, the purpose is to reduce any potential noise from the charge pump. Those wires can be … Read more
Xotic Soul Driven / Aion Thulcandra
With “Bass mod” by Aion Electronics. Original has internal DIP switches to select different bass frequencies but is here moved to the outside and converted to a pot.
