Cornish SS-2 Light Drive
With onboard input buffer. The original had two LM741s but these is replaced with its dual op amp equivalent 1458 to keep the board reasonably small

Cornish SS-3 Soft Sustain
This just got traced by Aion and he was kind enough to share the schematic along with a cool tracing journal on his blog. As to what the SS-3 is, it’s like a beefed up Cornish G-2, which is his take on the Distortion+. The original uses 2, single op amps, but for the sake … Read more
Cornish P2 (probably)
For Fuzz Friday here’s what most people think is the Cornish P2. It’s a slightly modified Ram’s Head Big Muff with flat mids and the Cornish buffer up front. If you want to use the Cornish bypass like the original check out the Cornish G2 layout for the bypass board. Also, this will be the … Read more
Cornish SS-2
With the G-2 fresh in our minds, I thought I’d draw up the SS-2 as well. This is set up for a 125B like the G-2 due to the footswitch board. The circuit itself is like an MXR Distortion + with a tone control and a gain recovery stage. Originals utilize 2, LM741 chips, but I’ve … Read more
Cornish G-2
Happy Fuzz Friday, everyone! As promised, here’s my layout for the Pete Cornish G-2. The circuit is essentially a Big Muff (with a few different component values) with a simplified tone stack and input buffers. It’s not quite as fuzzy or distorted as a typical BMP but more of a heavy overdrive. Though it can … Read more
Cornish Buffer
Got a request for the Pete Cornish Buffer in dual form like the one I did with the Klon Buffer. So here’s both a single and a dual Cornish Buffer. The original uses a 1N5401 for polarity protection, but a 4001 or similar will work too. And you can probably get away with a small … Read more
Cornish SS-2
Pete’s highly acclaimed Overdrive/Distortion box of the stars. The original obviously includes the Cornish buffered bypass switching which isn’t shown here as it is assumed most people will use the usual 3PDT mechanical bypass. But if you do want to build it like Pete, then make a daughterboard of the Cornish Buffer. The input socket … Read more
