Info: “Inspired by the Trainwreck Express amplifier (built by the late Ken Fischer), the TWE-1 is solid-state pedal designed to emulate the touch-responsiveness and clean-to-overdriven range you get from a high-grade tube amp. Along with Volume, Hi Cut, and Gain controls, the pedal has 3-position Cab switch (4×12, 2×12, off), a Presence switch that provides … Read more

Original FSB thread and schematic available here. I’ve put the Mid Freq switch components on a separate board to make it easier to box it.
BuGG from Pedalpcb.com has created an EZ FV-1 module for vero layouts. It is available here: http://www.pedalpcb.com/product/ezfv1. This is what he wrote about this circuit in our Forum / Requests section (schematic available there): “This is a fairly straightforward single-algorithm FV-1 circuit, it would be a nice starting point for learning how to work with … Read more

This is based on a Marshall JVM410. You can find Bajaman’s original thread and schematic on the FSB forum here. There are two versions: First one with just one toggle switch to select between Cruch, OD1 and OD2. The second one uses separate footswitches, Gains and Levels. You need to add an extra pole for … Read more
“A boutique pedal homage to the unique onboard overdrive circuit in vintage solid state Vox Conqueror amps that George Harrison used on the White Album and other Beatles recordings. The White Pedal has four knobs that control volume (overdrive), gain (fuzz), treble cut, and a bass cut knob that acts as a mid-boost, while a … Read more
