Request. The vero version of this that I already posted included axial caps, this keeps the size down by using all radial caps and will be more handy for someone wanting to add a small boost board to another effect for instance. Includes details for adding a master volume pot. Geiri’s build of this layout … Read more
This will probably be a popular build for people who use a Fuzz Face (or similar) and also an older style wah, and have a problem putting them in the usual order. Info from Foxrox about their original: The Foxrox Wah Retrofit is a self-contained JFET buffer/amp circuit that gets installed into your Wah Wah … Read more
Info from Demeter about their original: The Fat Control is an on board guitar mid boost/buffer which includes a wide variable gain mid frequency power booster control and a built-in low impedance buffer that has been installed into a steel stomp box. The Fat Control boosts a wide mid frequency range for a more distinct … Read more

And after a few requests here’s a version using the TL072 opamp (or any other dual opamp you fancy trying):
Slightly modified values giving greater input impedance and resulting in a slightly brighter tone:
