Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Nils from Moonn Electronics took a stab on the Big Muff and twisted the knife… Looks pretty cool. MOSFET and regular silicon transistors, blue LED clippers and a wild tonestack. Schematic and BOM can be found HERE.
mellasse sent me a schematic for an old Guytatone fuzz, Guyatone DS2 Sustainer. Looking at the schematic I noticed it was really similar to another Guyatone offering, HD Harmonic Distortion. The main difference is the tonestack, HD2 is scooped and SD2 is more mid focused. So this layout have a switch for both SD2 and … Read more
By looking at the component values, this appears to be a smoother, tighter, civilized and mid oriented Muff variant especially when you compare it to Ultrastoner and TSM680…
A pretty cool lookin¨take on the ol¨Big Muff. The first and the last stage is replaced by a dual op amp, a diode lift switch at the the first clipping stage, a Gain control that biases both of the clipping stages and for the tonestack, a James control network is used for invidual bass and … Read more
Per request. Based on Indigo Ranch Bigger Muff without the high voltage tube section. It is basically based on a Ram’s Head variant but with small filter caps and low gain transistors. I added a Mid switch for a bit more versitality.
The late EH3054C version of the vintage Deluxe Big Muff. Some improvements had to be done like true bypass and common voltage refrence. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
Traced by TOFO. This is a layout for the early big box version with three footswitches. It is based on the russian Big Muff but with more gain, reversed tonestack tone bypass switch, switchable and tunable feedback loop and a diode selector switch for the second clipping stage.
Since I’m pretty much slushed and decked by the Covid flu at the moment, this one will be the last layout for a while… Over and out…but first some marketing spell. The Hizumitas was designed for the one and only guitar sorceress, Wata, from the legendary band, Boris! We could not be more excited to … Read more
