Black Arts Toneworks Quantum Mystic
Quad op amp version per as the original. …and a 2x dual op amp version. For some reason it has some minor noise issues with the Mid and Volume controls cranked.
Black Arts Toneworks Revelation

For you perfboard builders you should … Read more
Black Arts Toneworks Black Sheep
A biker fuzz if ever there was one. This week’s Fuzz Friday layout is the Black Sheep from Black Arts Toneworks. It’s great on both guitar and bass and features 3 stacked gain stages with a 4 position switch dictating the input capacitor. Here’s the schematic for reference.
