Black Arts Toneworks / DOD Boneshaker layout 2
There is an old layout for this one in the library that looks like trash so I did a new one from scratch. The Depth control was pretty much useless (factory/design error?) so I rewired it for this layout. Also there was some complaints about the feel and taper for some of the controls. See … Read more
Proco Rat / Fuzzhead Fx Green Lemming Distortion
Something like this have probably been done before… Yes, Fuzzdog added a 3-band Marshall style tonestack to a Rat a while ago. Oh, and there is Idiotbox Blowerbox, a Rat tuned for bass with less gain with a James tonestack…. This one is quite similar to the latter but has more gain on tap and … Read more
Monkee Music Satan Distortion
I admit that I did a layout for this soleily based on the name…😏 This is one those really cheap 80s distortions that sounds harsh, compressed and trebly. But it might be worth modding towards something decent? The clippers can be subbed for LEDs for some headroom, both 47pF caps can be inreased to shave … Read more
VOX: Distortion Booster, Red Box

VOX: Distortion Booster V8162
This is a nice simple one, and a slight variation on the Colorsound Fuzz Boxes that I’ve been building lately. Basically a silicon fuzz face variant, which is a progression from their original booster that just had an on/off switch. VOX DISTORTION BOOSTER | 0.15″ VERO LAYOUT And if you’re wondering what’s going on with … Read more
Moonn Electronics Bullshit Distortion
Nils from Moonn Electronics took a stab on the Big Muff and twisted the knife… Looks pretty cool. MOSFET and regular silicon transistors, blue LED clippers and a wild tonestack. Schematic and BOM can be found HERE.
PROCO: Rat, 0.15″ vero layout
Now this is mainly for my own purposes, as I doubt anyone else will want to build a Rat this way & I only plan on making one. Just a standard Rat, built on 0.15″ vero and I’ve prioritised looks of build practicality (or at least what I think looks good anyway). I have built … Read more
