Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Found this floating around the interweb some time ago. It is OD-3, with tone control, buffering and switching components removed. The original design would be crazy big and undoable (at least for me) on vero. So this WGTP’s simplification of schematic supplied by J. Luja more than 10 years ago should suffice. According to DIYSB … Read more
I recently got a Behringer clone of this one in a trade for free and thought i’d check the schematic out. Turned out a little simpler than expected with a few nice, quite interesting things in its topology. There’s basically a buffer driven by transistor, which drives something not completely unlike a fuzz face. After … Read more
This one didn’t quite turn out as intended but I thought I’d post it anyway as it may make a good experiment. Whether you like the idea of removing buffers or not, I think most people would agree that the Lovepedal Eternity is still a great sounding pedal in its own right, and a much … Read more
Requested by loads of people. I originally thought this would be a job for PCB, but after several more requests I had a think about it and estimated this may just about fit is a 1590B if I was careful. It turns out it will fit more comfortably than I expected. It will probably still … Read more
The SD-1 Super OverDrive pedal produces the warm, natural distortion of an overdriven tube amplifier while maintaining the subtle nuances of a player’s picking technique. This is one of BOSS’ more subtle and smooth overdrive pedals, perfect for blues and rock.
Well it’s the 21st here so I’m getting this one in early in case the world ends soon so we can get it verified first. :o) Another must try for fans of U2 and The Edge and another one of the boost pedals in his arsenal. Info from Boss about the long discontinued original: The … Read more
Info from Boss: The OD-1 is by now legendary. Artist of the 70’s was mostly using a fuzz distortion sound and the overdrive produced by the OD-1 was not typical. It was however soon accepted as the new standard of guitar sound. The OD-1 features an asymmetric circuit where the positive and negative halves of … Read more
