Dunlop JH-F1 Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face
Happy #FuzzFriday! Got a request for this one. It’s the classic silicon Fuzz Face circuit with a few added components.

Dunlop GCB-95 Cry Baby
Here’s one of the most classic effects of all time, the Cry Baby wah-wah from Dunlop. The big red thing in the layout is the Fasel inductor, and there’s room on the board for a pull down resistor at the input if you need it, I just didn’t include it in the drawing. What else … Read more
Dunlop Fuzz Face – Eric Johnson
Here’s a layout for the Eric Johnson Fuzz Face. Had someone ask if they could build it on the basic Fuzz Face layout from last year. Since there’s a few extra components in the EJ version, I thought I’d make a specific layout for it. Should still fit in a 1590a though. Q1 is a … Read more
NPN Fuzz Face
Not that the internet needs another Fuzz Face layout, but I’m adding it for the completeness of this collection. It is a DIY standard after all. This follows the stock NPN silicon version with BC108 transistors. I’ve added a anti-popping pull down resistor, a power filter cap, and polarity protection diode. There a host of … Read more
Jim Dunlop CryBaby GCB-95
While I’ve got the wah template loaded I may as well add this one too :o) Again thanks to mmolteratx for the schematic. Info about the original: When people talk about wah-wah pedals, they’re talking about the Cry Baby Wahs. This is the one that created some of the most timeless sounds in rock. The … Read more
Dunlop JBF-3 Joe Bonamassa Fuzz Face
Request, and as it was a quicky I thought I may as well get it out of the way. A tweaked positive ground Fuzz Face using Russian germanium transistors. Being positive ground as usual I would suggest trying it with a negative voltage inverter to supply the -9V and allow you to use a 0V … Read more
Dunlop – Eric Johnson Signature Fuzz Face EJF1
There is an ongoing discussion on FSB about this pedal, because we know that there are some hidden surface mount components underneath the board, and so this is based on a best guess by Marc Ahlfs after some experimentation he did on the circuit. Info from Dunlop about the original: No one cares more about … Read more
Dunlop Q-Zone QZ1
Based on Analogguru’s schematic, I really don’t know much about this other than it’s supposed to be a cocked wah effect but it was a request and looks like something a bit different. At least it’s a bit of a detour from the usual dirt pedals! :o) I couldn’t find many demos out there either … Read more
Fuzz Week/Part #4: Way Huge Swollen Pickle
Fuzz WeekA collection of unique and superb fuzz boxespart#4 Oh how stoked was I when I heard that Way Huge Pedals were making a comeback, definitely the most exciting thing to hit the stompbox world in a good long while. As a serious tone connoisseur and pedal junky, having Way Huge back in the mix … Read more
