EQD Bows
Here’s Jamie’s take on the classic Rangemaster circuit, with a NPN germanium transistor. There’s an added toggle to switch between full range and treble input caps. Probably a tight a squeeze in a 1590A but should be doable. There is also a 1590A specific PCB with board mounted pot and switch in the store now … Read more
EQD Arrows
I traced this one a while back and created the Lawn Darts PCB over on the store from it. About time I made a perf and etch layout. If a Rangemaster and an Electra ever got together and had a baby, the Arrows would be the baby. Should be an easy fit in a 1590A … Read more
EarthQuaker Devices Dunes
“The Dunes, like the Palisades, is a Tube Screamer variant. Yet it goes a step further from the original, adding a few extra features that go a long way to matching your guitar and pickups, to your amp. The knobs are familiar—Tone, Gain and Volume. In addition, there are three toggle switches that really make … Read more
EarthQuaker Devices Dirt Transmitter
To close out EarthQuaker week, here’s the Dirt Transmitter. I traced this one myself and below is a video showing the process. It’s similar to a Fuzz Face, but a little different. I found this description from (I’m assuming) Jamie over on TGP: I guess it’s kinda like a fuzz face but it started as … Read more
EarthQuaker Devices Dunes
If the Palisades is too much for you, the Dunes has a much smaller footprint and less controls to get distracted with. Pretty standard Tube Screamer clone with clipping options and a couple tone shaping switches. Might be a bit of a squeeze but it will fit in a 1590B with board mounted pots.
EarthQuaker Devices Crimson Drive (3-knob)
What? A Monday post? Yep. This week is EarthQuaker week. EQD is easily my favorite pedal company, and I own more of their pedals than any other builder. Not to mention I’ve learned a lot about pedal design from Jamie’s work. So this week I’ll be posting 3 EQD circuits and hopefully a video to … Read more
Earthquaker Devices Westwood
For the blog’s 600th layout, here’s a new one that didn’t take long to get traced. Here’s EQD’s newest offering, the Westwood Translucent Drive Manipulator. Great for pushing your amp and giving a near clean boost. It features an active 2-band EQ and sounds great on bass as well as guitar.
Earthquaker Devices Disaster Transport Jr.
Here’s EQD’s take on PT2399 delay. The most unique thing about it probably the use of a Big Muff-like tone stack. It will definitely fit best in a 125B with the board mounted pots, but if you use long leg board mounted pots and populate them from the component side it should fit in a … Read more
Earthquaker Disaster Transport Jr
Had a sleepless night, so I decided to knockout some new layouts before the end of the new year. This one kicked my ass a bit, but I got it as small as I could. a nice sounding delay, that’s similar in architecture to the Deep Blue Delay. It’s a nice sounding warm, natural delay. … Read more
