Barber Electronics Edge Hog Distortion
Another damn nice trace that’s up on FSB, by Joe from Grey Bench Electronics. This one seems to be a very limited run distortion from Barber, built around the time of the millennium madness.

Barber Dirty Bomb
Gotten several requests for this one. Your wishes have finally be granted! Originals have the Sub Bass control as an internal pot, but it was pretty easy to include it externally, so you have options. It’s designed specifically for a 125B with board mounted pots, but would fit in a small box with the pots … Read more
Barber Direct Drive
You asked for it, so here it is: the Barber Direct Drive. This layout follows the new compact version with 2 toggles–one for harmonics, the other for gain. The circuit itself is very similar to the original Tone Pump circuit with a few modifications. Should fit nicely in a 1590B.
Barber Tone Pump
Starting the week out with an early version of the Tone Pump from Barber. It’s very similar to the Silver LTD with a few value changes and a simplified tone control. Here’s the schematic for reference and you can use the Barber Silver LTD drilling template. I believe if you put two of these in … Read more
Barber Silver LTD
Here’s a cool variation of a buffer-less Tube Screamer with a BMP-style tone stack in the middle. There are also several trimmers that control the Presence, Bass, and Mids, and they’d be pretty easy to wire off board if you wanted the controls externally. If you want to go with the stock configuration, it should … Read more
Barber Compact Direct Drive
Request. Another great sounding, extremely well made and very fairly priced effect from Dave Barber. As usual with Barber I’d always say buy this or one of his other pedals to support one of the good builders. Measuring only 2.3” wide, the NEW Compact Direct Drive brings a colossal catalog of vintage British voice to … Read more
Barber Gain Changer
Another versatile overdrive here from Dave Barber, and as usual at a very fair price. If you want to fine tune the mids and bass content to suit your own style or gear, consider socketing the 7K5 resistor on the right for mids, and the 22K resistor at the top for bass. Info about the … Read more
Barber Tone Pump
This is a layout for the original Tone Pump but I’ve changed it slightly so all 6 knobs are external instead of the Presence, Bass and Mids being internal trimmers which would be nice for quick control rather than having to open the box to tweak settings every time. Info from Dave about his the … Read more
Barber Small Fry
With 4 internal trimmers this was a pain to keep 1590B friendly. As it sits it’s 22 columns wide and so will just fit in if you file the sides down a bit (and insulate the side of the box next to the board with electrician tape or similar to avoid shorts). It will however … Read more
