DOD Carcosa
Happy Fuzz Friday, everybody! Here’s a new fuzz circuit from DOD. It’s a cascaded transistor design offering a wide range of tones with tons of output. Should be an easy fit in a 1590B.

Run Off Groove Uno
I know I’ve mentioned this to a few people over the past year probably, but I’ve finally been able to get it edited. That’s right, here’s my tutorial on how I layout circuits in DIYLC… the first installment at least. The tutorial shows how I created today’s layout–the Uno from Run Off Groove. It’s a … Read more
Fenrir Distortion
Came across this schematic over on the Tagboard Forum and thought it’d be a good addition here. Heavy distortion tones on tap with some clipping options and a full 3-band EQ. Switch is a SPDT on/on.
Electro Harmonix LPB-1
Got a request to redo the LPB-1 with the pot board mounted. Can’t say I’m opposed and it only took about 5 min to layout. 🙂 Easy fit in a 1590A. If you want to make the Screaming Bird treble booster, replace the two 100nF caps with 3.3nF.
SolidGoldFx If 6 Was 9
Happy Fuzz Friday, everyone! Here’s a nice little modded Fuzz Face from SolidGoldFx. The switch selects between input caps and the Bias pot adjusts the voltages to Q2. Other transistors can be used beside the BC183C in the original. As usual, sockets are your friends. Easy fit in a 1590B.
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.
AnalogMan Prince of Tone
Wanted to redo my old layout with board mounted pots. I’ve laid it out with the Presence control externally and the diodes on a DIP switch, though you could easily wire up an external toggle if you want. Should fit nicely in a 1590B. If you want the King of Tone, just but 2 in … Read more
Run Off Groove Azabache
Not sure how/why I avoided laying this one out for so long. The Azabache is a great sounding overdrive that emulates classic Fender amps. Check out the ROG article on the circuit for more info, schematic and sound demos. Adjust the trimmers so there’s 6v on the drain of Q1, and 5v on the drains … Read more
DBA Octave Clang
For Fuzz Friday here’s the Octave Clang from Death By Audio. It’s a transformer based octave fuzz utilizing a 741 opamp. Fairly low parts count and should fit in a 1590B.
Ross Compressor
Somehow I’ve not laid this classic out already, so here’s the Ross Compressor. One of the most highly thought of (and therefore copied) compressors of all time. Should be an easy fit in a 1590B.
