Mid-Fi Electronics Random Number Generator
Happy Fuzz Friday, all! Here’s a fun noise maker that should go together pretty easily. Schematic for reference.

Grind Customs FX Tenebrion
The Tenebrion was designed by CultureJam and is the further development of the Box of Hall reverb. It uses the Belton BTDR-2 reverb brick, which I’ve designed to fit on the solder-side of the circuit board. You should be able to squeeze it into a 1590B.
The EAGLE Tutorial Continues
Thanks to everyone who bought boards over the weekend! Today starts the next chapter in the Eagle Tutorial series on YouTube: PCB creation. Go check it out!
EAGLE Tutorial
Finally gotten around to creating this tutorial! There’s a lot, so it will be released in several videos over the next couple weeks, but the first two are live on YouTube now. So if you’re interested in learning Eagle CAD to layout your own PCBs, either for etching, milling or fabrication, go check it out!
Spaceman Atlas III
Hope everyone’s staying safe and healthy. Today’s layout is a unique preamp booster from Spaceman Effects, the Atlas III. It uses some FETs I’d never heard of in conjunction with a couple low gain silicon BJTs (use something in the 175-225 hFE range). The switch controls the phase of your signal (it’s internal in the … Read more
Mad Professor Simble
This is been traced for a few weeks now over on FSB and I’ve meant to lay it out since then, but just now getting around to it. If you don’t know, it’s an amp-in-a-box type trying to emulate a Dumble amp. Apparently it sounds very good with smaller amps. Should fit nicely in a … Read more
Caline Purple Smoke
Got a little booster circuit that should go together pretty easily. It’s pretty much an Electra without clipping diodes and a large value resistor between base and collector (similar to the EQD Arrows). Easy fit in a 1590B or even a 1590G (probably). Schematic on FSB.
AMZ Mini Booster SMD
What’s everyone think of SMD? It seems more and more boutique builds are going that route, and with more parts only be available in SMD form, I wonder how long before it’ll be hard to get quality parts in through-hole packages. All that to say, here’s a simple etch-able SMD layout of the AMZ Mini … Read more
SoloDallas Storm
Had a couple requests for this one. Very cool design and story behind this circuit. Note, the 120pF cap right below the Boost pot, and the 10uF cap just above the LED are present in the original design, but not connected. Check out Aion’s trace blog for more info and schematic. Also, use the 1981 … Read more
