Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Thanks to Ross to reminding me about this one! Here we a have a circuit for people that just love offboard wiring. 😉 Also be prepared to use sockets to try out different transistors since this is a “reverse beta” design which can be quite finnicky and be a source of frustration. Scheematic is avaiable … Read more
The layout above is still unverified but I did a smaller simplified version a while ago. The fuzz section has been removed since didn’t care for it. Less offboard wiring and and a smaller enclosure…and you can put your favorite fuzz after it.
Based on schematic avaiable at Deadend Fx. Layout for the Fuzz section HERE.
Deadend Fx just traced this rare beast and released a PCB for it. Go and get it! If not, here is a couple vero layouts for the fuzz section. I will upload the Boost section once I can wrap my head around some of the switch connections…. There are two layouts, one stock the with … Read more
The first version of the Death By Audio Fuzz War is notoriously tricky to clone – this is the second version, which is a modded Jumbo Tone Bender with a tweaked tone stack. So, in other words, it’s a modded Big Muff. Schematic / build docs at PedalPCB DEATH BY AUDIO FUZZ WAR V2 – VERO … Read more
The Death by Audio Fuzz War V1 is notoriously hard to build by all accounts, which makes me want to try. Might breadboard this one first to sort out any bias issues before committing to the board. DEATH BY AUDIO FUZZ WAR V1 – VERO LAYOUT
A transatralntic trace by Enrico, AlexS and fuzzhead. A big thanks goes to Enrico for letting us trace his pedal, all the images and the schematic. The layout is tested and verified. There is some odd parts in there which can easily be subbed for other values. (221ohm to 220 ohm and 4,64k to 4,7k). … Read more
One of the pedals that put Death by Audio on the map – the Supersonic Fuzz Gun. It has been reported as quite hit and miss depending on the exact type of transistors used, so best to breadboard or prepare for some experimentation. 2 x MPSA06G and 1 x BC517 (Q3) are reportedly a better choice … Read more
The Interstellar Overdriver is possibly the only normal pedal Death By Audio makes, and it’s not challenging to get to work either. Some are a nightmare. Sorry about the weird layout with the dual 100k gain pot – there isn’t one in DIY Layout Creator, so had to make it work as best I … Read more
Added an onboard charge pump to this one for 18v operation since the function generator IC XR2206P needs at least 10v to operate as it should.
