Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Schematic, trace and info avaiable at FSB. Note that there is a cap value missing across pin 11 and 12 at the PT2399. There is a 10nF cap across pin 9 and 10 so a close value to that should work. Also, lug pot numberings isn’t marked on iether of the schematics so lug numbering … Read more
An updated version of a project I was tinkering with a couple of years ago. The idea was basically to find some use for some low leak USSR germaniums other than in Fuzz faces, Rangemasters and Tonebenders, And to do a germanium version of Zvex Box of Rock. Some biasing tweaks was necessary since BJT … Read more
Schematic and info avaiable at Deadend Fx **Edit 220421* Deadend Fx recently traced this circuit and it turns out that the initial traace and schematic posted at Ilovefuzz forum had some bugs. Layout below is based on the most recent trace. Notice that it is highly recommended to so socket Q6 and Q7 since you’ll … Read more
A cool sounding Fuzz Face derivate. Note that the value of the volume potentiometer is unknown but we found out that 250k or 500k sounding good. Also, the fuzz control is wired backwards per original but if you want a normal counter clcokwise control, just swap 1 and 3 lugs and use a 1kC pot. … Read more
There is two layouts of this one, one stock with one control. Since it begs for modifications I added a second layout with four pots for more control: 100K resistor at the output is replaced with a 100k volume control. 33k/68k before Q2 is part of a fixed Big Muff style tonestack so they are … Read more
